“Photo Shop, I don’t have it.”

Try Gimp, it is open source and free. For most things it is an excellent substitute for Photo Shop.

For 5-1/2 years I ran a catalog department and printed a 3,000 page catalog for a distributor and did their website images for 37,000 items. I had Creative Suite, but quit using Photo Shop or Illustrator. My default was Gimp.

Here is where you can download Gimp for Windows. (I use Linux)

http://www.gimp.org/windows/

The only problem you might have is integrating Ghostscript with Gimp. (for handling .pdfs directly) I did that on my last Windows computer but would have to do a little searching for that.

If you want to batch process a lot of image conversions ImageMagick is an amazing open source command line image processing app.

All of these are pretty standard Linux image manipulation programs.
