Yes GIMP is a lot like PhotoShop with none of the cost. They have tutorials on their web site.

I use GIMP all the time now because it is easier to do some things than PhotoShop.

Here is the link: www.GIMP.org

If you download from thier site they dont try to have you add other software to your download. But make sure you find the installer software to download.

I have PhotoShop (PITA). I use for most of my drawings Inkscape, it's free and very easy to use and more powerful than I could have imagined. Very useful for "cleaning up" borrowed clipart and its a dream for vectoring.
