A publicly available contender against adobe photoshop is gimp.
The main web page is:
http://www.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/~gimp/


There is also a ports collection up at ftp.freebsd.org:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/graphics/gimp

To get and  compile a port's package
mkdir -p /usr/ports/graphics
cd /usr/ports/graphics
ncftp  ftp ftp.ftp.freebsd.org
cd pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/
cd graphics
get gimp.tar.gz
quit
tar -xzf gimp.tar.gz
cd gimp
make 
make install

You will also need the pots/x11/freefonts package

	Have fun,
	Amancio
