Paint.NET or Sumo Paint
For those who'd be interested in a top notch and FREE Photoshop alternative, both of these are very good.

Paint.NET - The file size is tiny but the program handles all the usual Photoshop functions. Plug-ins are also available free - extending its scope even further. Ideal for the Year 6 Pop Art topic. Show your support for free software.

Sumo Paint - Pretty much a Photoshop clone that can be downloaded or, and here's the interesting bit, be used online (click on the 'open Sumo Paint' link at the top of the page - Javascript needs to be enabled).

Another excetllent alternative is the GIMP
