Actually, I agree.
I first posted when there was a movie poster image challenge, it was a good way to get into b3ta. It's only now I've been around for a while that I find them a bit tiresome, but we all have to start somewhere.

Oh, and I'd recommend Gimp if you don't want to bother with photoshop.

Gimp recommendation seconded
some people seem to hate it, but it's 100% free and I personally use it for almost everything I do and it works fine.
