I've always found The Gimp to be pretty good (also free)

I’ve used PS for years, so I find Gimp very clunky. I’m sure it’s because it’s not PS.

I ran a catalog department for 5-1/2 years. Print and web content. Maintained a 3,000 page catalog, indexes and supplement, created monthly and seasonal promotions (some were 1,000 pages+), created/maintained all the images for 47,000 items.

I had Adobe Creative Suite and I preferred to use Gimp.

1 application could open any document, not need for the bloated “bridge” software.

I grew to love Image Magic for sizing the images. Powerful command line tool. I used it to size 80,000+ images for the initial print to web conversion. Started the program after 5:00 PM and when I came to work in the morning, it was done.

I am primarily a Linux computer user now. First used that OS in 1984-85. I seldom fire up a Windows machine any more.
