well, i use Photoshop Elements, which is essentially Photoshop, except it has a few less options, and it costs a bit less. I think the regular Photshop Elements is like.....300 bucks, but the one for Mac is around 80. I've also heard of a program called "Ulead", but i know absoloutly nothing else about it. hope that helped!

I use Corel Paint Shop Pro You can download a free 30 day trial of it, which is what I have, so I don't know how I'm going to make anything after 30 days lol. But I know Photoshop is really popular, and there's 30 day free trials for that one too.

Corel Paint Shop Pro X: http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satell...ials/DownloadContainer&trkid=cnetdownloadpspx

Adobe Photoshop CS2 (you have to actually fill in information for this one): http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/tryout.html

I use Ulead Photo Impact XL. This is a great program, and there is a lot of stuff that I still cannot do with it. I think it's better to get one program, stick with it and try to learn all you can with it.

I use PhotoFiltre, which is free. It's not as hi-tech as many others, but I think it's good.

Linky-thingy: PhotoFiltre

There's also LOADS of trials and stuff over at Stuff Just search for `graphic´or something.

Corel Draw 12 (vector) and Corel PhotoPaint 12 (bitmap).

This Andy Warholesque graphic was meant to symbolize the problem cheetahs have with a lack of genetic diversity. Hence the repeating faces all identical in the background, which are a switch of the cheetah in the foreground from left to right. It appears in a science curriculum I wrote called "Operation Survival 21".
