if you are wanting free, GIMP is the best [free] one around (imo)
That's in the same range as making a mod with notepad. sure you can do it, but why make it hard on yourself?

some people don't know how to work with better programs and like to stick with the basics
I dare you to try Paint.netsome people don't know how to work with better programs and like to stick with the basics
It's got a shallower learning curve than GimpI dare you to try Paint.net
I'm already a Photoshop user
wait wut, why do you need one for the wiki? I'm confused...
also photoshop master race
that sir, is hilarious. While GIMP is good, and has all of the features that an amateur graphics designer would need...photoshop has many more features, produces better results, has many more addons/plugins, and is overall on a completely different level in comparison.
GIMP is good...but doesn't have anywhere near "everything" that Photoshop has. Just sayin'

This is all true, but GIMP has everything he will need for the purposes of illustrating a Wiki.
This isn't Mr. Draper on Madison avenue, so let's not get overkill shall we? Photoshop is like bringing a machete when a pocket knife will do just fine. The features, results, plugins, etc. will largely be a waste for it's intended purpose.
That's just a simple cut of the item / block (making sure there's a transparency behind it, made that mistake), naming it, and sending it to Santa. I just use GIMP for it.
Oh, I thought I had to stitch the images myself.
Nah, we just cut things out and @SatanicSanta fixes what I broke.
pretty sure that's exactly what I said...with my initial post of recommending GIMP, and then my followup post saying it will work for everything he needs

yes, and in your followup you blasted GIMP as if it weren't "enough" for this large project the OP has on his hands...as if photoshop would polish it just a bit more.
all i was saying is that it won't.
You can make custom brushes in Photoshop, and, last time I used it, you can't with Gimp. This is extremely helpful for chopping the background from standard blocks, which is most of what @trajing will be doing anyway.yes, and in your followup you blasted GIMP as if it weren't "enough" for this large project the OP has on his hands...as if photoshop would polish it just a bit more.

This is true, but Is it worth purchasing a $200+ piece of software for this feature alone, for the purposes @trajing will be using it for? Definitely not.
@trajing, unless you plan on making money from your graphical skills, or are going to school for it, I'd fiddle around with non-custom brushes in gimp.
