All good.
Though I just use the photo software I started out with.
iPhoto Plus 4.

Basically, and image editing software will do the job.
You just need to know the layout of what you are working on, and set yourself up a few templates to work with.

Yes, Photoshop allows the most control over your work.
Go to "View>Show rulers" then pull vertical and horizontal guidelines
out from the rulers on each margin, then save it out as a file template for reuse. Once you get it you will never go back. :thumbsup

I love Discus by Magic Mouse. It's $30-$35, but I've been very, very happy with it.
