Photoshop elements alternative

[iamloco724]

hi..i am looking for recommendations on a photosghop elements alternative i can not use elements right now as i am working on an older pc and need something thats a little less heavy on usage i had it on here but was having problems with it

the main things i did with elements was open pdf and save pages as jpegs
if this cant be done with an alternative photo program im willing to use a separate program that can just do that for me

when it comes to the other thing i like to put together custom wallpapers and collage type things thats pretty much all i do so any suggestions for both of those tasks would be greatly appreciated

Osalt.com suggested Gimp, Gimpshop, CinePaint, and Pinta as alternatives to photoshop elements. I personally have used Gimp and know that it supports pdf, the others i'm not so sure. I haven't used Gimpshop, but it's supposed to be Gimp with the layout and context menus of photoshop for those that are familiar with it. I would highly recommend Gimp as it would suit both of your needs. Their official website: http/www.gimp.org/
