Below you'll find a list of software many members on the game use to create personalized pictures and layouts. Some of them are free and some of them cost real money. You can also find some websites online that will generate and customize images for you.

Free Stuff

Pixlr - like photoshop, but free. Online image editor, no need to download or install.

Gimp - like photoshop, but free. You have to install it on your computer.

Adobe PhotoDeluxe - simple photo editing program. No drawing, just making your photos look better. Brightness/contrast, cropping, rotating, etc.

MS Paint - comes on every windows computer, classic drawing program. Not great but better than nothing!

Picture Publisher - never used this before but found it online....

Pivot Stick Animator - cute little animation program.

Expensive Stuff

$699 Adobe Photoshop CS4 - the best graphic software out on the web. If you're really interested in photos and art then this is a MUST HAVE piece of software. If you can't afford the $699 don't worry, there's a great cheat. Buy one of the older versions (like CS) for cheaper (see eBay) and then upgrade to the newest version for only $199.

$699 Adobe Flash - drawing and animation software. Totally awesome. Has the same cheat as photoshop above, buy the upgrade for only $199.

$599 Adobe Illustrator - drawing software, more for brocures and flyers but it's got everything you need to make decent graphics. Upgrade it for only $199.

$399 Corel Painter II - a step up from paint shop pro but still not as good as photoshop.

$70 Corel Paint Shop Pro X2 - the good alternative if you'd like some graphic editing software but don't want to spend a fortune.
