Free design programs please? Options

[lilnichi]

Hey everyone. Recently, my computer crashed and all my programs were lost. I really wanted to start my website back up but it became too much because I wanted the latest version of photoshop. I had photoshop 6 or something. I also had dreamweaver but I would like to have the later versions of that too.

Well I could just re-download the old versions of both on this comp but I would LOVE to have the later versions of either program. It costs so much money and that, I don't have at the moment. So does anyone have a later version of photoshop or the dreamweaver series that I could download? I tried the trial copies but it was such a tease. I would love it so much if anyone could help me. OH! By the way, I have both a mac and pc. I would prefer a pc version but I wouldn't mind a mac version.

As for other types of programs, I wouldn't mind trying anything new! I heard a lot of good stuff about paint shop pro. I never used that before. Any program would be sufficient because at the moment, I have nothing. :( But anyways, that's about it.


Thanks!!

definetely go gimp!

because its free! does a lot of the same things as photoshop. converting photoshop tutorials to gimp completely sucks though cause everything has a different name. well not everything but lots of things. if you know photoshop already though you get a little frustrated at first but it turns out fine in the end.. same thing happened with me, my comp with adobe crashed. its tragic, been there, done that. i feel for ya lol
