Wow. Looks like a great program, will certainly give that a try as maybe a more lightweight editor where I don’t need all of the horsepower that comes with Photoshop.
Just wanted to mention that there is another great free alternative targeted to more of the Photoshop crowd. Those that use Ubuntu or another distribution of Linux should be no stranger to GIMP. GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program and comes with a featureset that is quite similar to Adobe’s Photoshop. The community for the program is also quite large, so you can find all kinds of plugins and helpful tools. For those that are used to Photoshop, you can even find an interface of GIMP that is very similar to Photoshop’s layout named cleverly as ‘GIMPshop’.
