I still don't know how to use it.

There's also Aviary: http://aviary.com

I prototyped this KYM/Aviary mashup a few months ago: http://jamiedubs.com/1click

this thread has been featured oh my

Thanks for the exploitables, Jamie!

There's also GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulator Program). It has many of the same basic features, but is free.

I approve of Georgivs' message.

i mostly use Paint.NET coz I'm crap at Photoshop or GIMP

GIMP downloads -- for Windows, Mac, and Linux:

Also check out the awesome GIMPshop, which makes GIMP have a user-interface nearly identical to Photoshop:

Yeah, I'm Adobe certified and used to work as a graphics artist. A laptop of mine that I used at home was stolen, and after I stopped working as an artist, I couldn't justify the price of Photoshop just for doodling (or favors from friends, which are more common than jobs). So, I found GIMP, and honestly, for most of the jobs people need, it's more than adequate.

Is it legal and virus free?

PAINT WORKS JUST AS GOOD AS ALL THE OTHER FREEWARES SUCH AS PHOTOSHOP

I discovered Aviary several months ago when Ellie mentioned it along with 9 other web apps that she used. It is basically Photoshop but free, and has more programs.

@Watcher Yes, both legal and free of viruses (depending on where you get it, of course).

how do you insert items from other pics on the first link?

it tells you if you want to bring something from one pic to another have an object selected and copy it on edit i think and paste it into another picture i think.

Psh.

GIMP is just like a free photoshop.

Plus its free and better than these jokes…

I can't imagine any more tactful or timely way of saying this.

Instead of making another thread.
I decided to resurface this one.
Anyways
The options we have given to substitute photoshop are
Pixlr
Gimp
Aviary
Paint.net

I do not recomend Gimpshop but…
Gimpshop

This one seems to be much simpler and made for basic photo editing, but seems to be easy to use:

Picmonkey

At first I was like "OOH JAMIE IS BACK"
But then I was like "aw it's just a massive necro"

Fixed Dubs' linky things:

Part 2:

I've never known that you could get these things… I'd rather use picnik, lol.

Wait, why has this been bumped?

Updating what we can use… things pop up in 2 years.

who pays for Photoshop anyways

heres some half assed one i made
