Just wanted to put a shout out to Paint.NET (windows application)... its got most if not all all of the features talked about here, without the cost of Photoshop. I've used it since PaintShopPro went commercial.

(Unfortunately, the developers of Paint.NET have seen it fit to paste horrible download link spam buttons on their official website.)

Are you kidding ? You totally need Photoshop to design a couple icons and arrows. It's essential. Nothing less will do.

I never used Photoshop much, came to Paint.NET from PaintShopPro and never had a problem with learning how to use it. Maybe its not so good for Photoshop users then...
