Thanks, DarthParametric! That's
exactly the information I needed.
I picked CS2 thanks to Dak Drexl's
thread about it and I picked up all of the other programs on
Quanon's UV walkthrough. Now I'll need to learn Photoshop which I've never used before.
Luckily, I picked
Adobe Photoshop CS2 Classroom in a Book from Borders at one of its last going out of business sales. Somehow I knew I was eventually going to have opportunity to use that book!
Hopefully, this will eventually mean more skins for the games but don't hold me to that statement!
