    Photoshop is Free now as an Online version which can be used from within browser itself.

    Wow, this is a GREAT program!

    Thank you for sharing it.

    By the way, I DID look through the thread of Free Windows programs, but it is VERY long (66 pages and counting... ) so I personally find this thread VERY useful. It just isn't that easy to search through all of those pages. I have browsed them, but if I want something specific, not sure what the harm is.

    I'm glad the op started this thread, doubt I would have come across this great program if he/she hadn't.

    Shel you don't have to browse through all the pages to find software, unlike the old one this one has all the updates in the first post.
