I REALLY want photoshop but all the sites i have been to you have to pay - can someone tell me what they use and if it was free or not and please give me a link to download it..Thanks!

You tried the trial version of Paint Shop Pro? I don't think you will find many free versions as mostly you have to end up paying for and posting any dodgy links wouldn't be allowed lol. You could try ebay for a cheaper version of previous photoshops or paint shop pros as you can get some decent prices there

Did you pay for yours then? How much did it cost and where did you buy it? Did you say you had photoshop pro 8 again i think?

I have most versions 7.8.9 and x. It depends what version you want but I know a friend who got psp7 for about a tenner on ebay a while ago.

Are you after (psp)paint shop pro or (ps)photoshop? New version or old version?

Ive got Paint shop pro x (trial version) but was thinking of buying it after the trial ran out. Some people told me that photoshop is better though so i wanted to try that too but for some reason it wouldnt work when i tried to download it...matbe i did itwrong? I would just like to try photoshop i dont know what one i have never used it befroe but can you recommend the best one for me? and do you know a website where i can download a trial?

I suppose it depends what you want to do with it, different progs are designed to do similar things but also different things. I personally like paint shop pro just for doing sigs and banners.

You could try corel painter which has a 30day trial
