I recommend Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign. Could also use Adobe Photoshop. All of these are great image editing programs. Each has different features.\n\nhttp://www.adobe.com

Since you are looking for free image editing software I am going to recommend gimp. http://www.gimp.org\n\nIt's totally free and has a lot of features. Take some time to give it a good try and learn it.

Try some of these, they are all free.\nYou may have to look up some tutorials to do exactly what you want ... the programs don't do all the work, you have to know how to use the tools in them to accomplish what you desire to.\n\nhttp://wang.zhenzhou.googlepages.com/\nhttp://www.photobie.com/\nhttp://www.plasticbugs.com/index.php?p=241\nhttp://www.freeserifsoftware.com/software/PhotoPlus/\nhttp://www.photofiltre.com\nhttp://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/PaintNET/1096481993/1\nhttp://park18.wakwak.com/~pixia/\nhttp://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/Project_Dogwaffle/dogwaffle.html

I haven't used it for anything like that but PhotoPlus is my default image program since I downloaded it free a few weeks ago. There's also a DrawPlus program listed. Check out the details on the site to see if one of them will work for you.

With a scanner and adobe photo Delux shop or a similar program you can do a lot of things by migrating Cartoon images and photos together or like putting buck teeth on someone. It takes a lot of patience and practice but it makes some really neat stuff. I turned my best friend into a blimp doing it and it was hilarious. He liked it too.

Picassa 2 from Google is really good. Small download, completely free. Organises photos, loads of tools to edit, and very easy to use
