I really need a photo editing program similar to Photoshop, but I have no money whatsoever with which to purchase one, so I was wondering if there was a good free program someone might know of.

If it was EDITING NEEDS, then if you have microsoft office 2003(the full version) it should come with Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
Of course, nowadays, almost everybody uses microsoft word and stuff so u most likely would have it.
Just go to start, all programs, Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft Office tools and at the bottom of the list should be the Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
It might not be as good as MS Paint or Photoshop, but at least it's free with Microsoft Office 2003.
Good Luck photo editing!!

You need to try "The GIMP". It is a totally free photo editing software . Go to http://www.gimp.org/ and you can read all about it and download a copy for your operating system. If you are using Windows XP which I'm fairly certain you are, go to http://www.gimp.org/windows/
The GIMP is a very powerful and free photo editing program that should do just about anything you have in mind.

I recommand you to use Google Picasa to manage and edit your pictures.
Picasa is software that helps you instantly find, edit and share all the pictures on your PC. Every time you open Picasa, it automatically locates all your pictures (even ones you forgot you had) and sorts them into visual albums organized by date with folder names you will recognize. You can drag and drop to arrange your albums and make labels to create new groups. Picasa makes sure your pictures are always organized.
Picasa also makes advanced editing simple by putting one-click fixes and powerful effects at your fingertips. And Picasa makes it a snap to share your pictures ¨C you can email, print photos at home, make gift CDs, instantly share via Helloâ¢, and even post pictures on your own blog.
free download in here, just have a try:

Good Luck and Best Wishes!!!

I said "Gimp" too but decided to edit my response since someone beat me to it.
Also check out DMOZ, a directory for things open-source.
If you don't like what's been mentioned you may be able to find something else here too.
