Photoshop help

[pentapus]

My computer died. A really big death.

I no longer have photoshop, which is the only graphics program I know how to use. I am currently working the google magic , but:

Does anyone have any tips on photoshop-like programs (not necessarily free)? Or know what is up with this subscription service? Pay forever or don't get to use the software? >:(

There are cheap student versions available (although I note that my uni even gave out the whole Adobe Suite for free, and so I cannot recall the pricing)...
