Currently I use GIMP 2.8 for my digital art pursuits, I don't have any money to blow buying a new version of Photoshop. But there is a free version of CS2 called the Legacy Edition or something like that.
Which should I use?
I already have Sketchbook Express and ArtRage for painting simulation, but for more detailed/ambitious things I need a powerful program. (Oh and I use a Windows 7 laptop with a Bamboo Splash Tablet)
[spoiler]In a purely hypothetical manner, with no implications of reality, is it possible to make a trial version of the latest Photoshop into a full version, without, well, paying a ridiculously large amount of money? [/spoiler]

GIMP 2.8.6 is pretty bitchin. Make sure to use single window mode.

Paint Tool SAI. I'm pretty sure it's free, or at least very cheap, and it's extremely versatile - a lot of digital artists use it as their primary.

could you perhaps link to a site you know is safe to get gimp from. I am in the same boat as you, as I would like an artistic software that I don't need to sell a kidney to pay for.

Gimp probably has better tools compared to an old version of Photoshop.
