software is also very important. most of the people who are designing some really cool stuff are using Photoshop, a vector program like Illustrator, Flash, and a 3D program.

Though without creativity all the great tools won't help you out.

PaintShopPro will do EVERYTHING Photoshop can do for under a hundred bucks, hell it might be under 50 bucks. Only drawback to PSP is there is a smaller community of users so not as many websites devoted to it with tutorials, actions etc.

ImageReady makes slicing up designs a breeze.

I'm not familiar with Photoshop Elements, is it some web design package? Sounds like it. If so i'm sure there are enough tools in it to make nice designs.

Just don't use the bevel thing in Photoshop, it looks like shit when most people use it. Go look at a magazine, CD cover, brochures, packaging - you don't see much bevelled text. Cuz it looks stupid in most instances.
