So my photoshop free trial ends in 9 days and I don't want to buy it right now.... Hard to believe I only started using it 21 days ago. Or that my very first GH3 mod was made like 90% in msPaint.

And no, I don't want to get it by any illegal way, I like the program to much to rip them off.

Does anyone know of a good freeware imaging program with similar functions to photoshop? Something to use temporarily till I get my George W. Bush $350 check lol.

You should just use a keygen. I've done it twice, and nothing bad has happened. Think of it this way: You get 30 days to use the trial. Now imagine you only use it not even 1 day total in the 30 days. You should still have a lot of extra time. Just saying.

I use photoshop myself (not illegal because my college has a bunch of licenses), but one of our tech guys introduced me to gimp. I haven't used it yet, but it takes up a lot less space than photoshop on your HDD and apparently can do most of the same features. Plus it's free and has some pretty good online support.

You should really try Photofiltre. :)
It's free, and yet has alot of options.
Even though you can't work with layers (as far as I know), it's still very handy.
I made all my mods with it. :;):

I have gimp and my sister gave me photoshop, but since ps takes up a lot of space, I've been using gimp for all my fof modding, also because I got so used to the gimp interface, I have trouble with ps now.

I use GIMP as well. It does take awhile to understanding some of the functions but otherwise it is a great freeware graphics program. GIMP is what I use for all of my CD, cassette and case covers

There's a Gimp version that's a lot like Photoshop, it's called Gimpshop. It just doesn't run very stable in Windows Vista.

You can also get an older Photoshop version (don't go older than version 6) or Photoshop Elements to save money.

Also, if you are a student you might be eligible to buy a student or education version.

That's the thing though I got my use out of that 30 day free trial believe you me.

Also, go to youtube and type in "keygen."

Does anyone know of a file format that Paint.net can open as layers (that I can save my .PSDs into in photoshop)? I have a few days left in my free trial and I reeaallllllly don't want to go through all my .PSDs layer by layer saving them individualy and I really don't want to save them all to solid images and lose all that editability.

-edit-

Or GIMP? I'm downloading soon. Any know how stable GIMPshop runs on XP sp2?
