Re: best photoshop program that not photoshop
The go-to free option for this kind of thing is GIMP. It can generally do most of the things that Photoshop can do. There are some things PS does better and there are some good things GIMP does natively out of the box that PS requires a 3rd party plugin for but in 99% of the cases GIMP will have you covered.
For a commercial product, I've become a fan of Affinity Photo 2. Reasonably priced, one-off purchase and you own the product and get all upgrades for free within the version you buy (ie. when the release Photo 3 in the future, you will have to purchase that version if you wish), and a lot of cool features.
That being said, GIMP will solve the majority of what you need for free unless there are features in a commercial product that you want. Affinity Photo does have a free trial if you want to give it a go.
