It doesn't need to be free to be good alternative to photoshop.
In Open source there is of course GIMP, Krita, Inkspace. 

But as I'm on Mac I also like Pixelmator very much and it was 50 bucks single payment to or so.. (I don't even remember, but more or less like one Playstation game, no more).

Many Open Source programs come with great functionality but learning curve is not exactly easy to tacle. Photoshop wins often just because people know how to use it. This is the space where software like Pixelmator convinced me more than GIMP and I was willing to have one less game monthly to use it.
