Well, I was using photoshop. Is there a better program?

Lateralus: Thanks so much for the awesome offer! I'm at work now, (yes, I'm totally slacking off!) and the pic is on my comp at home. I was trying to fix it this morning while I was waking and baking.....maybe that was the problem?!

I can post it later on tonight, but If anyone wants to give me a quick dummy's guide I can rip my hair out in frustration later on this evening!
