Lightbulb Program similar to photoshop

Hi there,

Im looking for a program similar to Adobe Photoshop but one thats a little easier for a newbie like me.

I would like to make my own Sighnitures with it like you can with Photoshop.
Any ideas?

Thanx.

I hear Paint Shop Pro X (10) is a major improvement on an already excellent competitor to Photoshop and it's a fraction of the price. Corel owns it now.
