Hello,
I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3.
I want an image editor which can make selected parts of an image transparent like in Photoshop so that I can merge pictures effectively and make collage. But I don't want to spend all my money for this purpose. So can you guys suggest me any good software which will do this?

Thanks in advance!

GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program

It is as powerful as Photoshop.
