Cheap basics for blogging???????

[suzan528]

I have a humor blog and need software that will edit photos (change heads etc) and write on a photo (like hand drawn arrows and comments) but I don't want to spend $600 on Photoshop: are there cheaper alternatives?

gimp - free
pixelmator - iirc $50 might be a bit more still cheap.

Photoshop Elements: $79

As already mentioned GIMP is totally free and (in my opinion) very very good. Will certainly do what you say you require (chopping off heads, arrows etc), get it at:

http://www.gimp.org

Then get take the money you have just saved and buy your first tablet, as this will have a big effect on how you work (at least it did for me). GIMP + Tablet should allow you do do pretty much most things easily.
