does anyone have a link to a free download of photoshop CS4, or maybe GIMP, or whatever you feel is a good program i can get , im running 64 bit vista. thanks!

Gimp is the best you can get for free, but Photoshop elements for $80 isn't too bad

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-w ... -setup.exe

GIMP is free.

PS is..well, torrent or PB (sorry can't post links here).

PS Elements is okay. I got it for free with an $80 wacom tablet.

well i've already downloaded gimp, but for some reason my computer wouldnt load it, it always started not responding at the loading screen before the program even loaded itself up

[Deadsolid]

ok, for some reason it does that to me at the loading fonts part. if i wait long enough it will eventually initialize, but it is a pain in the ass.

PSE with a Wacom for $80 is a really good deal, im not a fan of pirated software so i wont recommend it.
PSE is going to get you a lot more than gimp ever will

GIMP launching time is veery long, If you know even a little bit how to download torrents, I would suggest you to get Photoshop. And one of my friends searched youtube and got his PS from there, but not sure how safe it is.

The last thing you do, is to buy PS, it costs over 1000€, so not good for just home using, PS elements is a cheaper version of PS, but with PS you can do a lot more.

Sorry im not allowed to post any links here.
