I always use Gimp, as I use Linux. It's free. Google it.

Yes I too will suggest GIMP for beginners. Its is Open source and free to use.

I agree.. photoshop was mystifying to me... layers and transparancies ????

Is there a Gimp for Windows boxes too?

Who has the money to pay hundreds of dollars for Photoshop during this recession? Go for the GIMP!

Try Photoshop or Illustrator. Photoshop for raster images/projects and Illustrator for vector high quality/print projects.
