I have been looking into making my own decals for some of my planes. I have looked through some of the posts here and have a pretty good handle on the materials to use, but software is another item. I realize there will be several opinions for which software to use so let me state some criteria.

I will be making/editing graphics for decals.
I would like to be able to manipulate images saved from web pages (or similar type files).
It would be nice if there were tools to create my own graphics.
Photo editing would be a plus, but not a strict requirement.
I do not want to take out a second (oops 3rd, the second was for my planes ) mortgage for the software.

Thanks,

Rob
