GIMP 2.8 (Free)

GIMP, short for GNU Image Manipulation Program, is a free, open-source image editor with many of the same deep capabilities as Photoshop. That means it has a dizzying number of controls available to fine-tune and fix your photos, such as the clone tool, the healing tool, channel mixer, in addition to context-sensitive tools, dockable windows, and a full-screen mode. You can also fix lens flaws such as barrel distortion and vignetting. One look at its extensive preferences and menus reveals a setup that Photoshop users might find somewhat familiar. GIMP doesn’t always behave the way you’d expect a Mac app to, for example, sometimes edits paint their way onto the window, as opposed to just smoothly transforming the image. Newer versions of GIMP have become more intuitive, and as a free app, it’s definitely worth a look.
