Chasys Draw IES is a very decent app, both for image editing & creation, that you hardly ever hear about. It's easier IMHO that the GIMP, and best suited for those who haven't become *stuck* on the Photoshop-type GUI... it's not hard to use by any means, and the documentation seems well written, but it is just different enough that if you're well used to another image editing app you'll catch yourself looking for stuff in the wrong places. And it does work with Photoshop compatible plugins, so you can use those Franzis apps you've gotten from GOTD that include plugins, e.g., Cutout might be a good candidate since the selection tools are a bit on the sparse side. I've played around with it & came away impressed -- in some ways it's easier & is definitely more straightforward than Photoshop.
