Computer Active magazine, this week, warns that Photoshop is "Rip-off software that you must 'never' use! Get the best free alternatives that are just as good, and avoid overpriced rubbish." and goes on to list offending programs.

For Photoshop it gives reasons "why you shouldn't buy it" and recommends, "for manipulating, correcting and improving your images, to use Flikr, which has the added benefit of backing up your photos online." as well as suggesting Paint.Net and Gimp.
To be fair the actual article was not sensational, and made the point that Photoshop is not the best choice for everyone. Which is right, although many people on TP still have Photoshop for the wrong reasons like "because it's the "industry standard", or because pros use it, and not look for more appropriate alternatives.
But other headlines on the cover of the same issue of Computer Active! include: Windows 7 update destroys PCs. And "Have con men stolen your data?"
