What is a cheap alternative to PhotoShop?

It needs to have lots of the same features, like filters, layers, grouping, color enhancing, etc...

Something that uses a similar interface so the user doesn't have to relearn shortcuts, menu items, and other basic functions.

Something more powerful than MS Paint and in the $50 - $200 range
images:
Tip for best answer: M$0.37
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

GIMP. It's free and easy to download. (http://www.gimp.org/)

Extremely comparble to Adobe Photoshop.
I have both on my computer, and GIMP has practically the similar features as Photoshop.

I'm using GIMP, it's free open source SW: http://www.gimp.org/

From all I've read, it's really comparable to Photoshop.

Thanks for offering that option.
Have you used PhotoShop to make a fair comparison?

No cheap Gimp is totally free....that is an open source software.
But so good photo editing software...

Now I am using it. Follow this link and download it and start editing.....
gimp download
Fair compression means are you want to say save image as .gif or .jepg format?

4. and i would like to make my pics a little more creative.
Try Gimp.

Also, try http://shorterlink.com/?PYIL1H

I use Microsoft PictureIt!, which came as a free program on my photo disc, when I had my film developed at Walmart. I don't think Walmart offers it anymore, but some of the other 1 hr photo places might have it on their discs. It is a great program and lets you do just about anything you want, including crop, rotate, re-size, convert to black & white, convert to negative, manipulate color, lightness and contrast, add text, as well as sort, save, print, and email. It even lets you save pics in web-ready format, and it allows printing in mirror image and in any size you wish.

I would also recommend GIMP - it's open source Software and very very well maintained. Apart from GIMP i would also recommended following web based photoshop alternatives. Try it out.. Some of them are very basic but it worth to try it out.

1. Picnik - http://www.picnik.com/
2. Splashup - http://www.splashup.com/
3. Phoenix - http://a.viary.com/
4. Photoshop Express - https://www.photoshop.com/express/
This is nice tool by Adobe itself but its web based Photoshop. They are also giving 2 GB free space.

5. Snipshot - http://snipshot.com/
6. flauntR - http://www.flauntr.com/
7. Pic Resize - http://gui.picresize.com/picresize2/
8. Pixenate - http://pixenate.com/
9. FotoFlexer - http://fotoflexer.com/
10. Phixr - http://www.phixr.com/
