OK Peeps Listen up:

Adobe Photoshop is the best image program in the worlds hands down. It is used by most professionals and is used for far more than CD Covers. Don't settle for others (Fireworks, Corel, etc) If your gonna learn a program, learn Photoshop. Also, it is known to be a RAM pig, you need lot's of memory to run it. Video card has nothing to do with it trust me.

Oh and whoever wanted to know how to make somthing wee-thru (transparent, alpha) just lower the opacity of the layer you want transparent, and save as a transparet .GIF or .PNG
