What is the best FREE alternative to Photoshop for poster/leaflet design work and/or photo editing.
I currently use MS Picture It. Are there any other good, free programs that I could use? Downloadable would be perfect, but not essential.

Paint.net Its like alternative version of MS paint you can layer it and filters it like adobe photoshop which you can also add custom features when you check out the boards, also Gimp 2.3 or whatever version they have, Its a programable custom made tools and Filters you can download too your Gimp which Its kind of hard too download all the programs too get that program to activate.

The Gimp is one of the best free photoshop alternatives it has a similar set of tools to photoshop, there is another excellent set of programmes which are very good for design work and photo editing: Serif photoshop & desktop though these are not free they regularly are given away with computer mags (older versions only). There is another free open source desktop publishing programme called Scribus, windows version from: http://www.scribus.net/index.php?name=Sections&req=viewarticle&artid=2&page=1 free & very useable.
Finally, come on Retroman are you serious, Windows XP pro $200 with more security holes than a pair of fishnet stockings. office xp pro $400, decent antivirus, antispam, firewall, spyware etc $????? per year the list goes on. If you go for open office, to name one free office suite, admittedly not quite all the features of office xp (but who uses them all anyway) in most respects as good as XP will open & edit microsoft files etc and direct export to PDF. I could go on and on.

there is photoshop aspects that is a trimmed down version and it does maximum issues familiar shoppers might want to ever want. that is drastically more inexpensive. there are various free ones accessible - although maximum in user-friendly words do undemanding stuff.

Picasa by google: probably not as powerful as Photoshop, but quite nice and of course free.
