I was recently made aware of this very functional piece of freeware with many of the same basic features in Photoshop. I'm already somewhat of a seasoned Photoshop user, but was very impressed with this for those who might want an easy and free way to start dabbling in the graphics. Here's a blurb from the website:
"Paint.NET is image and photo manipulation software designed to be used on computers that run Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or Server 2003. It supports layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools.
It started development at Washington State University as an undergraduate senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally intended as a free replacement for the MS Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple tool for photo and image editing."
--Enjoy!
