Sorry, there are no legal free versions of photoshop, that I know of. I've heard you can do most of the things you need in Photoshop Elements (<$100 for non-latest version), but I've never used it, so I can't be sure. I was fortunate to have an old version of photoshop when it was much cheaper that did pretty much all I needed and then got CS4 as a gift.

I would suggest GIMP as a free alternative. It's not as good, but you can do most of the basic things like cutting out stuff, feathering, and layers.

Depending on the wiki logo request I still do them (I did recently). What do you want?
