Default Need a good free program like photoshop
I need to make some templates for stickers and stuff and I don't have photoshop. Turns out, no one I know has it. What is a good free program to use for "making" pictures certain sizes etc?

Or try the new Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8 Beta. I use beta 5 now and it works like a charm. You don't have any brushes or sump, but for editing it's perfect.

PaintShop Pro 8 isn't free or at least it wasn't the last time I checked.

I can't see it being a full no time-limit version whether its beta or not. But even if it is time limited it only takes an hour and a half on 56K.

You could try Open Canvas. It's not free, but I'm pretty sure you can do the trial version thing. It's only like $50 or $60 to buy tho. (Beats photoshops price)

There's a working list at this site:
http://www.ntfs.org/forum/showthread...threadid=31797

Several Image Editors are listed there.
Definitely consider the GIMP. It's free and has quite a number of features.

I've seen some rather impressive pieces of art created through Open Canvas. Here is a pic from an artist on DeviantArt that uses OC quite a bit. I've installed OC and the interface reminds me a tad bit of GIMP and Photoshop.

I tried it out and I would not recommend Open Canvas. The GIMP and 20/20 (which are both free) have more capabilities than Open Canvas. See this link: http://www.ntfs.org/forum/showthread...threadid=31797
Also, it doesn't come near the features of Photoshop or Pixel32 ($32).
