Another Question for the Collective Brain

[callistra]

Ok.. I want to add words to an icon. I have a pic. Now what programme should I use? Preferably something cheap or once off, I don't need anything snazzy. But legible reading at the end would be lovely.

Also, not quite what was asked for (as it is for creating art from scratch rather than editing, and doesn't appear to have a text tool) is ArtRage, http://www.artrage.com/
which is a painting app. Looks pretty damn awesome, especially if you have a graphics tablet. There is a free version, and a cheap ($25) pro version. Well worth checking out. And Calli, this one is cross platform.

Oh, and despite all the various fine free tools or ones that I already own, I am looking at Opacity http://likethought.com/opacity/ pretty closely, even though it is quite pricy ($89), because it does the very useful trick of incorporating all the workflow needed to turn art into icons for applications etc.
