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.
