What is the best graphic design software? I have heard good things about macromedia dreamweaver but I can't afford that , is there any good free programs out there that anyone knows of ?
Dreamweaver isn't graphics software, it's a wysiwyg web editor and does indeed cost quite a bit. The graphics program that Macromedia (who make dreamweaver) make is called Fireworks.
For your needs though (as in low cost) then I would recommend either Corel Paint Shop Pro X (used to be Jasc until Corel bought them), or for a completely free opensource image editor GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/). There are also earlier versions of Paint Shop Pro still available that may be an option.
