open source photoshop style software and others

[pucho812]

need things like photoshop but don't use it often enough to justify an expensive license. Try this list of free and open source software and see if it fits your needs.

GIMP for pixel-based pictures and photos
Draw Freely | Inkscape for vector graphics

are my choices. Apparently they also lead your lists of alternatives .

Found this lost the other day and tried a few things. Good stuff

I'm still using my 20+ year old Photoshop 7 which suits most of my needs, and still installs in Windows OS upgrades. However, I take some photos (night sky) at low light levels and high ISO's, and need some kind of (free) noise reduction software. Any ideas?
