at the moment I use adobe photoshop cs2 but i used to use JASC paint shop pro and that was pretty good too. With any software, you just have to get used to it and become familiar with the tools it has as well as the layout.
so true. Many many people used to tell me that the GIMP was terrible when I said I had made things in it, but it wasn't at all. Most of them hadn't tried it, or simply didn't understand it.
I would go for the latest version, but perhaps get the trial first. It is good once you get used to it.
