Gimp and Paint.NET are inexpensive alternatives to Photoshop. This one looks like a tool to easily do a very limited set of tasks.

  They each have their limitations. For instance, I can't use Gimp for importing my existing Gb of layered psd files - it flattens them into a bitmap. Gimp's support of other file formats seems to be limited to importing them without any of the metadata.

    I think every alternative is going to have its limitations, especially when dealing with alien file formats, but I think they are closer to an inexpensive alternative then the original submission.

      But Gimps whole point is to wean you from another tool. So 'alien file formats' should be a priority, I would think. Anyway that's what I expected when I tried it, so its failure to support pretty much anything was surprising.
