What graphics software for simple header image?

[markfromslo]

I need to make a basic header image for a Wordpress blog. I don't have any tools to create it. Can someone recommend any free software or a web-based app that I can use to create text, simple lines and shapes, etc. I have a PC and Mac but Mac software would be preferred.

Thank you. But I was really looking for something free.

Why not take advantage of the free trials that are usually available with products like adobe photoshop? i think it used to be 30 day trial they offered.

I realise this may be a bit late as your question was almost a month ago but have you considered Gimp? You can do just about everything that you can do in Photoshop and it is free.

You might want to look into paint.net as well. It's also free and very feature filled.

GFX WRITER SOFTWARE

If you know anybody who uses GFX writer software, then you will probably hear this: that it is so much easier to use it as a graphics header creator than using Photoshop.

Go with Gimp.app
You can create there a header images.
but Photoshop is what i am using now.

You can create the image with Paint also. If you need something that needs no blending or gradient or other special effects, then paint is good.

I would take advantage of Photoshop 30 day trial - free

or gimp also free
