I suppose you could go onto a P2P network and download it.

Or you could just use The GIMP.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIMP

As was suggested, GIMP is probably the most powerful free tool for image manipulation. It's as powerful as photoshop as far as I know. You might also be able to get a deal on photoshop through and educational institute if you attend one.

i'm at school in 4th year (i'm 15) but i never took art...also it is illegal to download it free. why is it only iso sharing that is frowned upon, but not anything else??? (not that i condone iso sharing that is)

You can download a free legal trial version of photoshop as i have done it myself. Ill try and find a link.........

it's cool man i'll just get GIMP! downloadind now, very very slow.......dial up suuuuuuucks.

student version is great... £180 for the complete CS2 Premium

im not sure the exact conditions, but if you intend to really really use it then it is definatley worth considering.
its a single computer/user licence and you must prove your status .

why do you want a photo editing tool anyway..???

not for anything terribly serious, just to spruce up pics, try making sigs, just basic stuff really, it's not for school. aw $#@!, stupid dial up went off and now i have to restart the bast!
