curious, have any of ya tried gimp for drawing/photo editing?
in my linux i had always just used an emulator to run photoshop from my windows drive. i recently loaded up gimp, and its amazingly a lot like photoshop.
so outta curriosity, i looked up the program and it has FREE Linux/Windows/Mac versions you can download.

IMO, a pretty good alternative for thoes who cant get thier hands on Photoshop.
