I think I'll try out GIMPshop, thanks for the mention (and thanks KiNA and SeijiSensei for the link). It sounds like for the majority of day-to-day things I do in Photoshop, GIMP would be more than able to handle it. I'll have to see whether it supports my camera's RAW format (.ORF) and what sorts of features it has. I know most people here do tons of advanced filter business, but the most advanced feature of Photoshop that I touch is probably the "HDR Merge" feature.

Someone already mentioned that GIMP supports automated/scriptable actions, which is a relief. I'll post back here with my own impressions when I get a bit of a better feel for it.
