What are my options for editing a PSD file

...without buying PhotoShop, which I sure as heck can't afford and don't quite need?

I've bought a template for my wife's website and will need to modify a psd file to change the text on the logo image. The file is an 8 MB psd, from which I assume I can extract the logo section and change it. I thought I'd be able to do so in Paint Shop Pro 8, but PSP says "Not enough memory to complete this operation" (which is clearly BS; most likely the file format is too new or too complex for PSP to handle).

There is a psd plugin for Paint .Net, but it also throws an error when opening the file. What are my other options?

Gimp should open it too, unless you are hit with the same error.

Thanks nudone, I'l try that.

tranglos:
OK, Gimp dies on that file too: "unsupported or invalid layer height: -1". Meanwhile, IrfanView displays the image just fine.

Dormouse:
Download the trial of PS or PSE; extract what you want; uninstall.
I'm assuming PSE would work.

Alternatively, ask someone with PS/PSE to do it for you.
