Free Picture Editing Program/Site?

[Justine]

So I just recently found out that picmonkey, a program I've been using since I started my channel, is now making it required that you have a membership to just save the picture you edited, meaning I'd have to layabout $50 annually just to save a thumbnail or a edited picture for a video. Personally, thats ridiculous in my opinion and I'm now I'm kinda stuck as far as looking for a new picture editing software or site thats free or at least an inexpensive one time payment.

So does anyone know of any food free/inexpensive picture editing sites or programs that you'd recommend that I use? Free would be ideal but I'll opt for an inexpensive program thats a one time payment if anything (moneys tight currently since I'm in college and need to pay for sorority stuff, food, clothing, and supplies in general for classes).

When I don't use the Tubebuddy thumbnail I use Paint.net which is free and does what I need just right, alternatively there's GIMP, also free and more powerful, closer to Photoshop than Paint.net

I once use magix.com/us/free-download/foto-designer/

if you ever wonder what photoshop would look like if it was free than this would be it. Also as an extra bonues, you can add photoshop plugins too.
