> ...A million miles from Photoshop: which is where I want to stay.

Is that because of functionality or price?

There's a Windows version of the venerable general public license image 
editing software with the politically incorrect name, GIMP (Gnu Image 
Manipulation Program, I think) at http://www.gimp.org/. They've even got 
some new Windows installers that automatically add in the gif editing 
software, for those people who don't live in nations that honor Unisys' 
patent on gifs. So, don't download that unless you're one of them 
law-breakers...

GIMP, sadly, has not been ported to the Mac, but since you've already 
got Mac software you like, this should do it for the Windows side. It 
may be, however, a little more powerful than you wanted, if that's what 
you meant by staying a million miles from Photoshop. On the other hand, 
I found the GIMP help files to be helpful--what a concept!

Best,

Al
