Photoshop is amazing. To create art, manipulate images and generally have fun with computers you can't beat it!
We've used it across various subjects (art and design, of course but also History (you can realy go all Stalin-esque on photos and re-interpret history!), English (book covers, film posters, character interpretation), Geography (weather reports, town planning) and loads more.
However, Photoshop can be a little expensive (although the elements version represents great value for money) and particularly if you want it across all your computers in your school (and what sensible-thinking person wouldn't?!?)
There are alternatives. Perhaps the best and most obvious is Gimp Shop. Unfortunately named (Pulp Fiction, anyone? It actually stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP)) but brimming with features that are as powerful and intuitive as photoshop.
It's free. It's open source. It's here.
Really, if you're still reading this and not downloading Gimp Shop you need to reassess your values!
