I use Canvas for this type of stuff. (www.deneba.com) It's sort of like rolling Illustrator, Photoshop and page layout capabilities into one program. It's not as powerful as Photoshop for photo editing, but it does what most people need, and even understands many Photoshop plugins. An alternative that's very powerful, but somewhat harder to use is The GIMP. (GIMP = GNU Image Manipulation Program) It runs under X11, which has lately been much discussed around here. THe GIMP is an open source photo editor and all-round image manipulator. It does have a steep learning curve. Since it's free, there's not much to lose but time and hair in trying it out.
