I'd seriously consider checking out the GNU Image Manipulation Program
(GIMP) <http://www.gimp.org/>. Your cost is what it takes to download and
install it. The GIMP was originally developed under Linux (which you can
also get for free), but I think that there is some work underway to port
it to the Windows environment <http://user.sgic.fi/~tml/gimp/win32/> or
<http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/>. The Linux version works very
well, I can't say anything about the windows port.
This is kind of "alternative digital imaging", and you'd have to get
your hands a bit dirty. How about giving it a try and reporting back
to us?
