Paint Program?

[Kio-oh-ki]

Well I don't really know where to put this so I'm posting it here. Well I was wondering if there was a really good paint program avaiable to download for free, I mean like no free trials just free. Right now I'm trying to find one really simular to PhotoShop. Oh & if anyone knows another good program to turn Movie files to animated gif files could they post it, I have one & it can convert it just perfectly but the file sizes are just to BIG, like one image is 5MB:eek:!!! So can anyone help me find some programs like this?
