Question Photoshop-Like software

Anyone know of a software that does the same things as Photoshop but at a slimmer price. I saw one version of Photoshop for $1700.00!!!! You must be crazy!!
Thanks!!
Allie

personally i think photoshop beats all, in every way. If you can get something "close" for free i'm sure you are missing out on some good features.

My favorite is also photoshop. I use photoshop CS2 for all my stuff and i dont think it compares to other programs. But if you cant afford it, or if you want to stay legal *cough* CS2 just isnt viable.

Two words.

THE GIMP.

Its free guys, who cares if it skimps out on the features.
