Is there a free alternative to Photoshop?

Is there a free alternative to Photoshop?
So my parents got me a DSLR camera for Christmas (My Dad is a camera nut and wants to get me into a common hobby since I suck at golf) a Cannon EOS1100D anyway I like it but I need something like Photoshop but being a PhD student I can't afford the €760 cost of it!!!

Adobe released photoshop CS2 as freeware a few months ago:

It's not the latest and greatest photoshop, but it gets most of the jobs done.

GIMP or CS2 for sure. Gimp is set-up a bit differently, but has mostly the same functions as photoshop. But any photoshop has a more professional interface and is a bit more appealing to work on.

CS2 is NOT freeware

Quote:What is true is that Adobe is terminating the activation servers for CS2 and that for existing licensed users of CS2 who need to reinstall their software, copies of CS2 that don’t require activation but do require valid serial numbers are available.

I highly doubt most of the people who downloaded this have a license

I agree, but some people can be paranoid about software licensing so i though it better to clarify.

ok, yes.. technically, it's not freeware.... it's just freely available.

Does this work, or is it only on Chrome?
