Need a good program for the thing i am doing

Hello.

I do pokemon fusions and recoloring, now i need a program that i can do it with and that is good.
Does anyone know of such a program?

Thank You

p.s. If you know how to recolor/fusion ANYTHING with one of these two programs, then please tell me:

Adobe Photoshop CS3
GIMP (Don't like this program much, i can recolor and fusion on it, but it gets annoying and also it gets confusing)

Photoshop is probably the best. I've also used a free program called Seashore. It's similar to GIMP, but doesn't need X11.

It would be impossible to describe how do use Photoshop in a single forum post. I would suggest googling "photoshop tutorials", there are a bajillion tutorials and how tos out there.
