If you're a unix head, then you can't go past gimp, which is free, and theoretically as powerful as photoshop. it supports all the standard image manipulations, as well as plugins and scripts. the big downfall is in the area of line based art (which photoshop doesn't do well either), but there's supposedly a plugin called gfig to do that as well. http://www.gimp.org Toby.
