EDIT: I have GIMPshop. No, this does NOT mean you should PM me so you can 'sell' me a bootlegged version for Gaian gold, or 700 dollars in real life.
Photoshop is made by Adobe.

There are a number of programs available, but if you're looking for a good free one, try the Gimp. It can be downloaded at gimp.org.
Hmm, I think "Adobe" and "Photoshop" are the same thing. xD It's called Adobe Photoshop. It's pretty expensive, though. You could get Paintshop Pro, it's much less expensive and you can pretty much produce the same effects as you can with Photoshop. It's still $100 if you get PSP9. But it's less expensive than Photoshop, so yeah.

Also, if you get a Wacom tablet, they often come with CG art software. Like Corel Painter Essentials 2. Or whatever. It's pretty cool. And if you get the tablet, don't worry about getting a huge one. Just get a 3x5, they work just as well as larger ones. Took me less than 4 minutes to get used to it, though it differs from person to person.
Huh...whoops.....sorry guys...the idea of drawing on the computer just sparked, but the idea that I have no money sparked, too...that's why I created the thread....but I'll change it....

Wow. Gimp seems complicated to download...but I'll see how well I can mamage to do so....XD

If you really want Photoshop... go buy Photoshop Elements 4.0. It is only like $80 or something. Or if you don't have a tablet, spend the extra $19 and geta Graphire 4x5. It comes with Photoshop Elements and Painter Essentials for FREE.
I wanted to no aswell but, i have paintshop pro 7 + 8 and i am getting photoshop on febuary 18th my brother has all of them he gets them from free 3nodding but yea i love photshop i think its a cool program but its extremly exspensive sweatdrop
i use Adobe Phtot 7.0 its a pretty complex program but once you understand all its tools and how to use layers so on so on it gets easier and easier eerytime you draw and soon you master it. You can use Oekaki sites too for drawing, their free, all you have to do is join and you can copy your pictures and post them wehere ever you want. You can even look at other pictures tht users drew on the oekaki and you can even rplay your drawing animations. They're really fun

Adobe Photoshop is quite expensive, but there are plenty of free alternatives. Gimp was suggested. There is also ArtRage, Pixia, and Artweaver.

Please keep in mind, however, that many people in the Top 10 have a firm background in traditional art, and have practiced their digital art for quite some time. In short, the program is just like any other medium. It takes skil and practice to use, and use well.
I'd guess most of those top 10 artists use either Photoshop CS or some Coral program (niether of which I have). Yes, Photoshop and a drawing tablet are nearly essential (they are when you start using them) and I'd suggest you invest in both when you can. Until then, practice with a pencil and paper. If you can't do that, you'll get nowhere on any program. Good luck and, if you live in Indiana, I'd help you out.

No.
Adobe is the company, and photoshop is the product.

I have elements. It was about 80 bucks.

You can still make beautiful pictures on Paint. Zenia Wolf does some wonderful things on paint.
