Try the Gimp. It's free and you can edit just like photoshop.

try OpenOffice.org it is an open source program, I don't know if it will do what you want, but it does almost everything that Microsoft Office does and it's hard to beat the price. (free) If that doesn't work try GIMP it works like photoshop and it is also open source.
Gimp, ACD manager (good one for windows, better than MS)
