hmm personally I use photoshop, but many people also use Paint shop pro...There isn't really one that's best for making maps, just depends what you prefer...

well what do you need? pretty much all of the illegal versions have everything in them too I hear, it's not like it's possible to remove stuff from just because they're illegal :P

Check the help section, see if it has an answer, then ask me :)

...::PRE-S!G::...

some help?!?
well for start read the tutorial of evil bunny just to know where to start...i used only to know the dimensions and mode:P
i use photoshop v.6 neway it aint got many differences....the basic tools that i use is the select tool...so powerfull....u can drw rectangles and circles...u can add selections or extract selections so u can make different shapes....just do some practise on adding and extracting.....when ur selection is finished i usually stroke it with white colour(edit>stroke) then u can fill it too with the fill command:P(edit>fill)...in order to fill it u must have some textures in B&w of course..i make my textures cuase ps has a few...u can make textures(patterns) by opening a new image with black backgroung and size v small like 5x5 pixels...then draw a random or symmetrical patern with white pixels.....then go to edit>define pattern and u r done....u can use it now with the fill command...
other usefull tips with selection tool is the contact the expand and border commands...practise on that and u ll get a map v easy i suppose....just make cool textures only in B&W....when u r finished with it save it for web as gif B&W and then the gif as bmp or tga format....import and hf on ur map....
download clipart to use or fonts from www.larabiefonts.com and www.1001fonts.com .... or www.:P.com
well cyas

What, like cockpits, turboshafts, thrust, nozzles, corkscrews, ram drag, payload, flaps, and wind tunnels?
