I'm looking for a free program that allows me to do some basic drawing and such. I know of GIMP, but I'd rather not use it as I'd prefer something that uses Aqua.
How about Graphic Converter? It's only $35, and it allows you to do basic paint/photo touch-up techniques and open just about any graphic file format known to man.
If you have .Mac, you can download Photostudio X for free. Another option would be to buy Photoshop Elements. Altho most places sell it for $99, Walmart has it for $58, both the PC and Mac versions come in the same box.
