As someone who (very occasionally) needs to manipulate PSDs, are there any alternatives to Adobe? My version of Photoshop is woefully out of date, and I'd prefer not to pirate. I was just looking at shelling out $30 a month to try out Photoshop CC, and then saw this!

If you're on a Mac, try http://www.pixelmator.com/ - $30 for a license, and I believe that gets you free upgrades. I haven't extensively tested it's PSD support but I do know that it can at least open and save them and everything appears to work correctly.

If you're a Mac user, take a look at http://www.pixelmator.com or http://flyingmeat.com/acorn/

Thank you! For my purposes, Pixelmator is perfect!
