Having trouble re-aquiring photoshop after hard disk death.  
After a while I decided to give up and look for free alternatives, I tried gimp because I’d heard about it a few times before but I’m not too keen on it.  
Anyone know any other/better free alternative programs?  
The more similar to PS the better, so I don’t have to start learning completley from scratch.

Thanks in advance.  
Peace out.
