I have Photoshop CS3. expensive but worth it.

 

You can use Gimp (FREE) which is actually pretty good! www.gimp.com

I use Photoshop to do this.

 

Here is an example of one I did

This. I have also heard great things about Photoshop Elements which is a lot less expensive. I have never worked with it though so I am unsure how much flexibility it gives you.

I use Gimp, which PPs have mentioned, because I am a cheapskate.

Photoshop Elements supposedly has all the features of Photoshop without the high end color separating tools and such needed for commercial printing and commercial design.

You can download a trial of it from Adobe.com. I downloaded it and then let the trial run out before I had a chance to play with it to see how similar it is to Photoshop, which I have training on. I should have taken the opportunity to examine it closer. 

I'd start with that, maybe.

Elements isn't bad. I got a copy to put on DH's laptop so he could help me with work!

We use Photoshop CS3 and Aperture (mac software). But Gimp is pretty good (and free) as the PPs mentioned.
