I learned about this from the other site I go to. Adobe is giving away free copies of it's PS CS2 program for free. Apparently, they no longer support it, thus, no updates or anything like that. It was released in 2005, so although it's a bit old it still gets the job done. All you need to do is go to the site, download it and enter the key that is listed next to the download link. This is the link I saw:

http://gizmodo.com/5973730/grab-photoshop-and-cs2-for-absolutely-free-right-here

But, this is the direct link to it:

https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?pid=4485850&e=cs2_downloads

Quickly create an ID and you'll be directed to the download page.(You have to enter an email but make sure to uncheck the boxes if you do not want to receive emails from Adobe) Scroll all the way down until you see Photoshop CS2 and click either link (Win or Mac). As mentioned before, the serial key is right next to it. This is totally legit; no stupid surveys, no "click this first to gain access!!" bull crap. Just simply click the link and enter the code. I've already downloaded it myself and tested it with a picture. It works great. Obviously, if you already have a more recent version then you're already better off.

As you can see on the page, there are also a plethora of other programs you can download. If you use those kinds of programs then it's the jackpot for ya, though I really see no use for them outside of businesses and whatnot.

Enjoy.

I am a Gimp user but was wondering when you get it where do you get the photoshop pallettes from?

Thanks Cyro, really appreciate this. Hopefully it would ruin on Windows 7.
Now, if only they would allow us to download a demo for CS5 again. I still have CD keys for but I lost the disc.

Thanks dude, less than two minutes to create the ID and now I'm downloading the installation file!
Cheers,

FYI- it's 340 MB so don't worry about the size, guys.

Even though it's old, I have always wanted to get Photoshop (Yes, I'm that poor that I never had photoshop) I was always interested in what you could do with it and how pictures could come out.

Oh thanks! Even though this is old it's a great thing for me.. I use different Photo shops but sort of like off brands.. this will help me lots! I love creating things and editing so this will really shape up my work.
