You'll need a graphic's editing program, like Gimp ...which is a free, open source program... Link ...and lots of practice.

Some magazines also occasionally include a free disc with them which contain things like early versions of Paint Shop Pro.

I got PSP 5 on a magazine disc about a year back, which I used for a while. It's a good start. But you can also do a Google search for "free graphic's programs" (or similar) and find one you like.

Look through some of the threads here, also ...I've seen a few links to some pretty good apps. Once you find a graphic's proggy you like, do another Google for (program name) tutorials ...you should get some pretty decent tute's
