Web Graphics software

[Nate The Great]

I need a program that I can do some simple web graphics stuff on. It needs to be simple to use. I don't need anything advanced. I don't need flash or anything like that. I just need to be able to make some fancy logos, maybe do some stuff to pictures, and maybe a few other simple things. Keep in mind I use Frontpage for my web designing.

What does everybody recommend?

Microsoft Picture It!

Better yet... http://www.microsoft.com/products/expression/

It's a 180 day trail version of some new Microsoft imaging software that's apparently going to be competing with photoshop/illustrator/corelsuite type stuff. Fuck if I know, I haven't tried it, but they claim to intergrated vector and raster graphic formats as editable in the same software so it's definitely worth a look if you're doing logo type stuff as well as photo type stuff.

Oh god.

man I am so tempted to test that beta....

I use coreldraw/corel photopaint alot but for only simple things.

The Corel Suite is pretty powerful, I use CorelDraw to do a lot of layout stuff like CD's and my 'zine. Course I could never compete with your legendary "teh madness moose"...

I've seen people do some amazing things with corel, but the patience it takes to get it just right....I just don't have it, so teh moose is the result

The GIMP. It's a (free) Open Source software similar to Photoshop and is compatible with Photoshop. It's also easy to use.
