    Try www.picmonkey.com - get the "royale" package, it's like $5 a month.

    I've not done anything lately, but I use Gimp when I have a mind to, and that is free

    Well I'm quite fortunate in that the singer/songwriter I work with is also a graphic designer...

    I use Sketchbook pro for creating activities for work. I found it friendly and intuitive when I started with Version 6. Version 7 has a a few more options that are really good, like a perspective tool. I have struggled a little with it, mainly because I got used to working set way with version 6 and some of the additional functionally has changed how I do some things.
