I thought about mentioning Photoshop Express but it seemed so very obvious that I am sure @Logan26909302bqhs knows about this as an option? I assume Logan simply wants FULL Photoshop for free which sadly is impossible. Adobe Express is a great entry level application or good in general if you don't need too many features. Personally as a professional digital artist with 20+ years experience, I use a lot of Adobe products so the full Creative Cloud bundle works out to be a fantastic offer. I have been using Adobe applications since the early 90's and have certainly paid for that privilege over the years but I've also made a lot of money too from the artwork, animations, videos, print layouts etc that I have created. 

 

As I said, Photoshop Express is a great place to start but if you're thinking long term Logan... (full version) Photoshop is the way to go!

There's loads of free apps out there BUT they are all 'limited' in comparison. Also, they disapear. The money goes not only into development but also into Support which is where 99% of free and Indie apps fail - sad to say. The old adage of 'You get what you pay for' is very true when it comes to software.

But it wouldn't be so handy for Adobe or the people that rely on Photoshop if they didn't have any income and went out of business to make freeloaders happy...
