With Adobe going the Cloud route (something that I don't care for and which doesn't work well for me), I'm looking for future alternatives to Photoshop.  I currently have CS5, and had hoped to get the CS6 Creative Suite but unless I can find a copy for a price I can afford right now (not likely) then I'm probably SOL.  While CS5 will likely work fine for the forseeable future, I'm curious what other options might be out there.

So, recommendations?
