You know Corel Photopaint is still free to download for linux? You can
get it here:

ftp://ftp2.corel.com/pub/linux/PhotoPaint9/

or here if that fails

http://linux.corel.com/products/pp9/download.htm

It is no Photoshop, but it is a reasonable Linux replacement for my fav,
Paint Shop Pro. It uses a custom version of wine and is available for
slack, deb or rpm based packaging systems.
