Does anyone know of a graphics software program that doesn't need Photoshop, but gives a similar professional look?

There is a free alternative called gimp.
It has the full functionality of photoshop but it doesn't cost a dime. Since it's open source, there are a myriad of free plugins, filters, etc around for it.

download here GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program

  This statement is confusing "A graphics program that does not require photoshop?" because Photoshop is a graphics program.
  
  Are you looking for another graphics program other than photoshop that you can get for free that will work similar to photoshop?
  
  If so get GIMP which is free, or you can buy Photoshop Elements which is a scaled down version of Photoshop, and it works great. Its cost between $50.00 and $70.00 here in Kansas City, you may find it on sale cheaper than that elsewhere.
  
  OR were you looking for a graphics product to make certain types of graphics, that does not require you to use photoshop?
  
  The reason I ask is because your question is confusing. ????
  
  There are several products that you can use to make certain types of web-graphics if that is what you are looking for, here are some of the products I USE and know of that DO NOT require the Full Photoshop Version, most of them can be used with GIMP and/or Photoshop Elements:

  I would recommend GIMP too. There is also an install you can get called GIMPShop that can make the GIMP interface look similar to Photoshop's.
  
  Paint.Net isn't bad either.
  
  Thanks
