[petal_limewand]

Hi! I am very new to this. I can tell you I got started here because I make custom boutique overalls for ebay. I have noticed that the auctions that sell for the MOST have these awesome pictures. Can you tell me what program I need to do this? LIKE THIS AUCTION (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4756954218&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1) Like the spider there?? Her pictures with the backgrounds and the text?????? WITH added graphics? I have GOT to learn this. JUST HAVE TO! Can you help me? Bethany

I know that those graphics could be made in Paint Shop Pro (PSP), which means they could also be made in Photoshop (PS), which is the program used by most professional designers. Those graphics look just like the layouts that people do here. Look around in the gallery see what people are doing, most people note the program they use in the comments.

PSP has downloadable evaluation copies (http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Corel3/Products/Display), not sure about PS.

I need something extremely simple......and cheap to buy! LOL! I have messed around with one called PhotoPlus 6.0 and haven't managed to make crap. I am so very new to this. I need the program for "dummies".

Check out our "New to Digital" link in the menu. It goes over different programs you can use.
I would recommend HP Creative Scrapbook Assistant. It is very easy to use and we sell it in our store.

HP Creative Scrapbook Assistant would be very easy, and cheap. You can't make your own graphics, but you can put together all the awesome things included in it or downloaded.

For around $100 range Corel Paint Shop Pro and Adobe Photoshop Elements are awesome and you can make your own stuff with some experince. I have a friend who sells "uglies" on ebay (her word, NOT mine!) I love to sew too. Her gorgeous little girl models them, and I swear she sells those outfits because she's so pretty!
