I thought I'll start growing the discussion board. So first it'll need some FAQ and help links.

Getting started

Free graphic programs

• Gimp - I recommend this for free programs. You could make a lot of great graphics even though it's a free program.
  
• Microsoft Paint - Pixel art.
  

Trial programs - (test before you buy)

• Photoshop - Most recommended program to use. This program have the most tools you can use then any others.
  
• Paint Shop Pro - Lesser tools you could use then Photoshop.

Installing a brush

Photoshop - Start -> My computer -> C: -> Programs -> Adobe -> Photoshop __ (version you have) -> Preset -> Brushes

Drag the brushes you have in it... must be unzipped though.
