How and where do I get photoshop and is there one thats free?

[Nalates Urriah]

Photoshop (PS) is a commercial program sold by Adobe. It costs about US$600 stand alone.

GIMP and Paint.net are very good free image editors. They have most of the editing abilities of PS.

You can get a trial on the Adobe store for 9.99 USD.

Where can I get a Cadillac STS?  And I want one that's free.

You can get GIMP and Paint.net for free and both are pretty close to Photoshop.  A full version of CS5 is somewhere around $700 for a full licensed version.

Hello johnjames. If you can spend more than 800 € (that's the price for my country) you can buy it by here:

photoshop isn't free but if you don't need the full version of photoshop you can get the latest elements version from £70+ or you can always try gimp

:-) I got my version of Photoshop Elements (2!) free on a magazine cover-disc.  Old versions are often given-away like that in the hope that you'll decide it's so great you need to spend £1,500 on the latest full version of Adobe's suite of products.

[someone should tell them more British people would buy CS if they didn't think GBP£1 = USD$1 ... oh, we did but Adobe don't give a (*^(* about such a small market]

there is also http://www.sumopaint.com/app/ - browser-based paint program, much like a mini-photoshop.  although after tinkering with it for a few days, it is hard to find much that it can't do, that photoshop or paint.net can do (so far).
