There is a bit of a learning curve, but there are videos.

It is called Gimp.

I was able to use it to put out a book cover for a self-published book. Layers is what was important to me, and it supports Layers, and tons of things that I also see in newer versions of Photoshop.

Funny name. But it is free (I think they take donations)
