Not free but really cheap and far closer to photoshop than GIMP (although
there is PSgimp) is pixel32/

The license states itis personal use so you can slap it on as many machines
as possible as long as itis only you that uses it.I have it on Linux and
windows machines. I'm the only one that uses it. PS Ialso have a legal PS on
one machien (supplied from work) but still use Pixel.
