Any software like Photoshop?

Hello, I'm looking for a Photoshop-like software that allows me to do some pretty cool things, mainly for 2D games development. I want to be able to create my own sprites and resize them when needed. Though, I cannot afford the monthly Photoshop fee, is there an alternative?

Thank you.
The closest free alternative to Photoshop would be GIMP.

I've also had good experiences with Inkscape. It's a vector graphics program, but it (of course) can export to your usual .jpg and .png files. It too is free.

Ah of course! How did I forget about Gimp?! Thank you Rabbitologist =)

The inkscape program also looks pretty good and straightforward.

Hi! Paint.NET is another good alternative. Has rich features like photoshop.
It depends on your needs. If you want to edit photos, you can use ACDSee, it has a marvelous editor. If you need it to draw - better to use SAI. I have Gimp, but honestly, I don't like it. Photoshop is the best, and I've tried many apps. I use Photoshop even as a mobile version, I've taken it here: http://freepps.top/apps/photography/adobe-photoshop-express It has some functions that you can use for free. For the Instagram or Facebook needs it's enough.

To be fair Gimp stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program - it is not exactly designed for drawing.

However I'm confounded why no one ever mentions Krita. It's very feature full it was influenced by SAI and - best of all - it's free as in freedom! If you were unimpressed by Gimp that means you were probably looking for Krita all along!
also use GIMP
completely satisfied with its work
