Art Program For Backgrounds

[Ewery1]

Hi, so I'm not sure what section this goes in, but what art program should I use for backgrounds? I tried to follow the background tutorial on the main ags site, but artgem isn't available anymore.

Hi,

there are a number of suitable ones. I myself use PaintShop Pro (7)
