picnik.com,

not really photoshop, but you can add some cool effects and its great for photo editing.
 
GIMP is probably the best free one that is close to Photoshop. (There are other good ones, but I don't think they are as powerful.) Its pre-installed filter selection is mediocre (although this is remedied easily enough by a site that has quite a few extensions/scripts/filters). GIMP does lack some of the features that Photoshop has, but the next version due out in a few months will add layer groups, a single window interface, and many other things. GIMP's current "multiple window interface" is a bit annoying if you don't have multiple monitors to spread things out over, but that should be a moot point after the next release.
