I just wanted to mention Gimp to you since it says you're a new user. There is also a key mapping plugin which gives gimp the same key shortcuts as PS.

That was just in case you haven't tried it - I've used both and find Gimp works fine for all I've come across.

I have used The GIMP for years and now I am finding a major problem with it. It lacks colour depth for detailed work. It is okay for day to day stuff but I am working with some files that require 16 bit colour channels and GIMP only supports 8bit depth. Yes, a bug report has been filed years ago about this limitation. And yes, for some work this is a major headache which I never noticed until I actually had to do it.

Cinepaint <http://cinepaint.sourceforge.net/> will support 32 bit colour channels and started off as FilmGIMP. It does lack some of the plugins that The GIMP has.

I love The GIMP but the colour depth is a major limitation for some types of work. For most work, it is a great program and I use it almost daily for photo/video editing.
