I know that somewhere on Mernetwork, someone posted a link to get Photoshop for free. I was wondering if anyone else knew of a newer version or had a SAFE link to Photoshop. I plan on buying a newer version later on, but I need to get myself acquainted with it first. Hence why I would like the free version first to make sure that I'm not wasting my time when I buy it.

Or if anyone has a different suggestion for photo editing software, I am all ears. Right now I work with picasa on some images. But I am getting more into photography and going to be doing four boudoir shoots for some friends here soon. So i need an editing software that I feel comfortable with but has more options than Picasa.

Thanks so much my mer friends and photographers. I hope I get some answers.
