The night is young. How else can I annoy the world before sunsrise? 
Inquisitive minds want to know ! And if they don't -- well like that ever has stopped me before ..
Inquisitive minds want to know ! And if they don't -- well like that ever has stopped me before ..I guess it's photoshop then.
Let's see ...
$599 off Adobe web site.
$89 if I am a student.
Or $0.99 on E-Bay.
(Gimp doesn't seem well suited to the task; Paintshop Pro kinda is and kinda isn't.... )
I've done some cursory looking around for open source alternatives for this kind of task. The selection is rather sparse and seemingly unmature.

Giving Inkscape a shot ... we'll see how it turns out.

Three reasons to support Open Source in situations like these:
1. Bloatware. Applications that entirely too massive for what they do. Like say 2 GB or 567 MB for something that should only be 10-50 MB.
2. DRM. Make the application inefficient and inconvenient and hard to install or move to stop pirates at the expense of the legitimate user.
3. Or in this case ... we all know Photoshop gets pirated a lot. Photoshop really should be $59, instead it is $699 (companies that don't care how they spend $$$) or reasonably priced for students ($89).
You know there is some sort of market failure when the student version costs 12% of the retail price.
Buying applications like that is support their future. Some scurvy dogs would argue that pirating that kind of software is the way to go ... and putting the obvious moral grounds aside that is STILL supporting their future because it is not supporting a better future.

I have to defend Paint Shop Pro here. I use PSP7. Starting with version 8 it became a bad Photoshop clone. (Floating toolbars? 10 minutes to load the program?) It is useful for 99% of what you could possibly want to do in a bitmap editor. That is, simple tasks. I don't know what the confusing Photoshop can do that warrants its huge pricetag, but I'm not missing it. (Although in older times I wished PSP could easily do the "offset" thing which made seamless-texture cleanup easier.)
