Is ON1 Photo RAW a good Photoshop alternative for beginners?
Can ON1 Photo RAW replace both Photoshop and Lightroom?
What happens after my ON1 Photo RAW 30-day free trial?

You can try Gimp GIMP stands for “GNU image manipulation program”, and it is one of the oldest and most well known alternatives to Photoshop in existence. Although it doesn’t quite have all of them, you’ll find most of the features included in Photoshop somewhere in GIMP. GIMP is cross platform and supported by a large community.
If just having the feature set isn’t enough for you, there is an alternative based on GIMP known as GIMPShop. It’s the same as GIMP, except the layout has been structured as close to Photoshop as possible, so anyone making the transition should still feel right at home.
I'm looking for an alternative to Adobe Photoshop if possible? Preferably a one time purchase that is not subscription based. Can anyone recommend?
GIMP is widely recognised as a quality free alternative to Photoshop in many regards.
...but it's not considered to be particularly successful in it's approach to embracing Mac OS X application design ;)
If you want something that isn't necessarily free but is at least inexpensive, then there are a number of other programs including Acorn and Pixelmator available in the Mac App Store. You could always try the cut down Photoshop Elements.
For a good roundup, see this wonderful blog post from the Ask Different Community Blog for more info:
GIMP vs Photoshop vs Pixelmator – Graphics Editor Shootout
The only free alternatives I know of is GIMP. I don't like it. I don't use it, and I can't tell you anything about it. Ugly is as ugly does—and I don't find GIMP's interface conducive to creative work.
If we change free to low-cost my first choice is Pixelmator. It has a clean and (relatively) intuitive interface, supports layers and, most important to me, has a content aware fill feature. Lots more info and some great tutorials on the website.
I have had good performance with: GIMP for macOS
But only my opinion.
It is free and available for many systems.
The other answers are great - I'm putting this here just for completeness.
Affinity Photo https://affinity.serif.com/photo/ is a paid app that's part of a suite of apps from Serif. The others are Affinity Design and Affinity Publish.
They often have half-off sales, but the products are not that expensive to begin with.
Again, not dissing the free and inexpensive applications already mentioned, I just thought this should be added to extend the options.
