Question
Wow, thank you.

I've heard about Freehand ( Macromedia ), do you think that's a good program? or should I go directly to Photoshop?.

Thanx a lot.  

Answer
Hi Claudio,
I hear Freehand is a good program but it is similar to Illustrator with regards to both are vector based.
You would need a raster based program such as Photoshop, Paint, Paint Shop Pro, etc... (I recommend Photoshop though)It's a bit pricey but well worth it.
If you're using Illustrator you'll be best going with Photoshop.  Since Adobe makes both items they're compatable with each other.  There are also many books and seminars available for Photoshop for various user levels.  
If you need any help or have any other questions ask away.  I'm always glad to help.

Thank you,

Tom
