Can anyone out there in the land of DA recommend a freeware alternative to Photoshop for image manipulation? I'm trying to edit a map insert for our upcoming fantasy novel, and the file is too large to manipulate in MS Paint beyond its b&w layout. I'm looking for a program that can handle taking this b&w basic map image and layering on enough color and texture to make the map look like its done on leather, pigskin, or even old parchment. I'd appreciate any recommendations as I'm not normally a photo/image manipulator.
Thanks!
