Are there any programs similiar to photoshop that isnt the cost?

I am beginning to get more serious about my photography and I would love to own photoshop but the prices I have seen as of now are way out of my league. Does anyone know of programs like photoshop but a little less in price or something?

Jasc Paint Shop Pro is great. It's not very different than photoshop except the layout. I find it easier to use, and it's much cheaper.

Try 'The Gimp', it's open source %26 free %26 not bad at all.
You may want to give Gimp a try. http://www.gimp.org. It's an open source application similar to Photoshop, available for many operating systems including Windows. Best of all, it's a free download!
