Hi,
I would really need a program, that's kind of mix between Photoshop (good for images, i suck at it) and
Corel (easier to use).
And it should be usable to make logos, 2d game images, animations...
Anyone knows anything like this?? price isnt a problem
thanks

Gimp is great for painting, as well as photo manipulations and all that, as you probably already may know, cause of me mentioning it in the past.
MyPaint which is strictly for painting, and you can enhance your paintings in Gimp as well. Plus MyPaint, and Gimp are cross platform, free, and open source
SumoPaint is no doubt the best free web based alternative to PS, it's mainly for painting though, cause of the brushes and that, but it's really really nice, and can do almost everything PS can do, just gotta maneuver around a bit to get it right.
Thoughs are no doubt the top three best I can think of off the top of my head, I'm sure there's other great free ones as well, but these are no doubt the best of the best.

I was going to post paint.net but then I thought that it doesn't has the logo creating, 2d images and animations features.

To be honest I hate paint.net, cause I can do everything in Gimp I can in paint.net plus more, not to mention Paint.net is only for windows, requires the .net framework, and is freeware (meaning closed source)
Gimp on the other hand is free software, open source, cross platform, you don't need the .net framework to run it, and more filters, layer modes, more tool and the new 2.8 not only has more tools, more brush dynamics, layer grouping, sorted layer modes, and a bunch more, it's a major update, and gets released the 27th.
