At the risk of being branded an OS zealot, please allow me to recommend
some other free Linux software (think free speech, not free beer). There
are a number of excellent graphics packages available. One collection of
titles can be found at a new Linux portal at
http://justlinux.com/Applications_and_utilities/Graphics/ Pay particular
attention to ImageMagick. Of course, the granddaddy of all free graphics
programs is the GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program). More info at:
http://justlinux.com/Applications_and_utilities/Graphics/Gimp/ and
http://www.gimp.org/  The Gimp is a Photoshop-type program that shines in
the area of graphics for the WWW.

Later,
Tim
