If I could make Photoshop work under WINE (the Windows

photography-related programs for Windows that I couldn't
replace with an equally good Linux equivalent.

Anthony,

No, John :-)

I just ran into info on the latest release of Wine. It claims that
Photoshop CS2 will run under it and they are looking for testers. Link

Thanks very much for that link Bill, I'll certainly look
into this especially since I use CS2 and have no intention
of "upgrading" any time soon.

Sorry about that. Trying to do two things at once - didn't do either
very well. :-(

Is there any free programs out there that are similar to say, Paint
Shop Pro? What are considered to be the best and which one should we
avoid?

Thanks,

Are you looking for basics, bright, contrast, color, crop, sharpening,
which is all most need Googles Picasa works, but changes may not
transfer if you get another program.
