GIMP is a good alternative to Adobe Photoshop, but has a learning curve.

Free and open source high quality photo editing. Steep learning curve
What do you like best? First and foremost, it's free. The cost of its primary competitor is a hard pill to swallow. If PhotoShop was a professional baseball team, GIMP would be an AAA minors team. For the non-pro who's looking to edit photos for a website, and do some moderate manipulation, it's perfect. What do you dislike? Just like its "professional" neighbor, it has a STEEP learning curve. You are not just gonna dive in here and start making amazing photos. With that being said, ...

Free, Effective Design Tool
What do you like best? Since I work in a small company without licenses for Photoshop, I use GIMP in two ways: to edit photoshop files that others send to me and so I can do quick touch ups, color manipulation, and masking. The best thing about the product is of course its price -- it's free. There are a lot of tutorials out there regarding use and for beginners it's definitely easier to learn than Photoshop is. Also, if I already knew how Photoshop worked, and because there are a lot ...
