I mean its a dumb question. Photoshop is the industry standard. If you don't have it, you are wasting your time.

Actually, I heard that GIMP was better, and free. But I want a variety of opinions.

well if by better you mean free, then yes, its better. And if its "better" then why are you using some crap program then?

Lightroom2 is a pretty good alternative to Photoshop.

It all depends on what you're doing. If you are taking photos, maybe 10-20 at a time in jpg format, then GIMP will suit your purposes nicely (and its free!).

If you are shooting in RAW, tweaking your exposures and doing a lot of post work then you'll want photoshop (especially for its automated features)
