We use Xara X, a European graphics program.  It's really easy to use!  And it does annimated gif's too.  Compared to Photoshop, it's a very reasonably priced graphics software package.  I think it's like $60 now.  Go to Xara.com to see what I'm talking about.  \n\nIt's a great alternative graphics program to Photoshop.

Either draw it and scan it or if you are making it on the computer i would say adobe photoshop. If you want to try and animate it then some flash program - maybe fireworks??

Get GIMP at http://www.gimp.org/windows/\n\nIt's free and is as good or better than the expensive PhotoShop by Adobe.\n\nGood luck.

Adobe photoshop is a good program for this application. A link to their website follows. \n\nhttp://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/\n\nThis is their newest product. You can probably find something cheaper on another site like Amazon or Ebay.

I would agree with that but if you don't have hundreds of dollars to spend on a photo editing suite then I would suggest you take a look at the open source and completely free GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) which has many of the same features as PhotoShop, you can find the details over here, http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/

photoshop has a program where you add layers of animation. and most of the time if you just shrink a picture its comes out all distorted so you will need either paint v.2 to shrink it or photoshop.

Picasa is probably going to do what you want. Short of that, Photoshop Elements is excellent, too.
