A free (for now) alternative to Photoshop

Wow!  It is Photoshop's 25th birthday!  Although there has been several alternatives introduced to the market place at way cheaper prices, Photoshop still survives.  While scrolling through FB where I have many, many friends in the Graphic Design industry I came across this new product.  Thanks Marion S for the post.

The short video reveals this new applications abilities and they look streamlined for professionals.   The best news is that right now a Beta version can be downloaded for free.

Right now this is not an embeddable link so cutting and pasting will have to suffice for now.I plan on installing this on my desktop and will review it in the near future.  

To celebrate the tool that has helped shape creativity, artists from all over the world contributed their most amazing dreams-and their working files with layers. These PSDs were then animated layer by layer to create a film made in Photoshop. #Photoshop25
