Graphic and image editing software

[Rentin]

I was just curious as to what imaging programs you guys use to create your backgrounds, sprites, characters, etc.

Right now the only imaging program I have is MS Paint ... I would really like to have photoshop or illistrator since I learned how to use them back in highschool, but these programs are just way to pricey for me. I'm curious to hear what everyone else uses, and maybe even some suggestions on what some of the most helpfull programs to easily and effeciently create the 2D images we all use in our games are. Are there any freeware programs out there I should look into?

Any information and/or suggestions on this topic would be greatly appreciated, I'm getting frustrated with using MS Paint all the time, I'm sure you all know how I feel.

Also, keep in mind that it's important what YOU find comfortable, not what others do. Many times I've found some highly recommended software uncomfortable for me. Try as much programs as you can. Almost every single of them has all the features you will need. It's important in which you feel at home.

i know it is only the trial version but try this: http://www.axialis.com/download/iw.html
PS: to get the images out of the editor just press Ctrl+a and the Ctrl+c then paste it either straight into the editor or in to paint.

I'd recommend Gimp, to be honest. It's free, and highly useable. Also, it can be extended to do lots of different things. Might be right up your alley.
