free photo manipulation software

[schwarzpm]

Does anyone know of any good photo software (something a bit like photoshop)that can be freely downloaded (legally)? My GF needs something for work while her bosses sort out some decent software for her.

cheers

I'll second that. I have Gimp on my Linux machine, it's good.

I'm a fan of Paint.NET, the Google software is called Picasa.

2nd recommendation for Picasa - it's great!

But yah, gimp is a great tool too.

Any free ones for OSX? I know there's a version of gimp, but it needs X11 installed. Anyone tried seashore?

Seashore is good - all the power of the inner workings of Gimp, with a shiny OS X interface on top
