Alternatives to Paintshop

[Moneyman]

I would also take look at Pixlr as another option.

A number of people recommended GIMP but I found it to be taxing on one's computer resources and so I uninstalled it.

I'm going to take a look at: Pos PRO Photo Editor to see what it has to offer, thanks for the info.

Paintshop is probably the most complete graphic editor that one can use to design almost anything, however its price tag makes it not a software that everyone can purchase, particularly people who rarely needs to edit a graphic or create an original design.

I was doing a research on free, and less complex alternatives to Paintshop and I found these interesting applications that you may like to test,

Cinepaint
Twisted Brush Open Studio
Pos Free Photo Editor
Pos PRO Photo Editor (now freeware)
Phoxo
Photoscape
Fotografix

Any one has tried at least one of these applications?
Or can anyone suggest some other alternatives?

Please feel free to share your thoughts.
