nero and adobe.com
u might want to download a free photoshop instead.





Using a bittorrent client is the fastest, safest, and most reliable way to download real softwares with no viruses. Usually keygens, serial numbers or cracks are included to fully activate the software.





A good bittorrent client such as ';Azureus'; will accomplish your download efficiently.


Go here for Azureus: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=84122





Now a good torrent index site will help you locate the software of your choice.


Here is a good site: http://thepiratebay.org/recent





Simply type in ';Photoshop'; in the search area and several versions will appear.


And if you have your bittorrent client (Azureus) set up properly, as soon as u click on ';download torrent';, your software should begin downloading automatically.
Hi, try this link,

The GIMP
google for irfanview n it's free
The Gimp. It does pretty much everything that Photoshop does and it's free.





There are versions for Windows, Linux and MacOS.





I use it and would recommend it to others.
You might want to try the 30-day trial from www.adobe.com. It's free and definitely almost as marvellous as the original version.





Or you could try the GIMP as people have suggested. A few more alternatives are Helicon Filter, Adobe Photoshop Album (yes, it's free), openCanvas (which is way popular with Japanese artists; version 1 is free) etc.

Corel PaintShop Pro is a good alternative, but it isn't freeware. It's price is comparitively less than Photoshop, though.
