I thought I would take a stab at posting free software. Anyone who is interested in a Photoshop type program without the Photoshop price should try this -
Gimp 2.2
Available for free download at -
http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
An excerpt from their home page -
"GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed piece of software for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It works on many operating systems, in many languages."
I myself use it constantly. I used it to build all of the graphics on my website, including my image maps. I also use it to make all of the goofy stuff on my MySpace page.
Since it's popularity is growing it is usually easy to find fantastic tutorials on using it. Using a simple Google search you can find tutorials, brushes, gradients, and much more. Give it a try!
Good luck,
