Photoshop is amazing. I love the program. I can't afford it. I know, there are a lot of ways to hack the download, but I'm not into doing illegal stuff. I did the free trial thing so that I could finish my photography class well, and it was really nice to have it. Now I'm spoiled. My free trial is over and I want it back.
I just have trouble going back to the free programs that are just substitutes for the real thing. I have gimp. It is really great, but not really easy to use. I have paint.net. It just doesn't have all the great features that I have been using so much. My mom bought photoshop elements, and I can use that on her computer, but going from the full version back to elements is just frustrating.
So yeah, I'm spoiled.
While searching for a new free program that would make me feel better about being broke, I ran across a new download that makes me feel a little better. It's called gimpshop. It's a free program that goes along with (well, it hacks the program) gimp to make it look like photoshop. It's not perfect, but it's is free, legal, and easy. I started playing with it and I began to breathe again. I can still do many of the things that I love doing with my pictures in a comparable amount of time. I'm not sure how to do all of the stuff that I like to do yet, and I'm not even sure if it has the capability of doing all of them, but I'm not suffering as bad. I'll figure it out.

I still like picnik.com. I'll stick with that until I can convince Paul to get me photoshop.
