I want to make customized cards to send to atheletes and celebrities. What should I get to make them? If it is Photoshop, can you please tell me which one to get?
Also, if anyone has made custom cards, can you pm the pictures so I can get an idea.
Thanks

Photoshop is very pricey ($200). I have that and Adobe Illustrator.

But I mainly use "Greeting Card Factory Express" Version 3.0 by Nova Developements for all my custom index cards. for my custom photos I use Illustrator as that's more easy to work with and has many more features. Feel free to look back through my posts and successes to see examples of my custom items. Their's also a link below you can click on to see my collection.

Illustrator will run you about the same as Photoshop. Greeting Card Factory Express though, costs about $10.00-$30.00 depending on what version you get. I have 3.0, but I think their up to 5.0 now.

I have Greeting Card Factory Express version 7, but I haven't downloaded it, yet. I think I will, though.

Thanks!

Well then! You've got an awesome program to start with!!!

for being a simple program, you can make some pretty awesome cards.

I download a lot of movie fonts as well and use those to make them even cooler.

Thanks for the advise, I made some really nice trading cards already. How can you download movie fonts?

Awesome dude!! Here's a site that offers a bunch of famous movie and TV fonts. simply click the font you want and download it. it will be in a win zip file, so extract it from that and install it in your font directory on your computer.

There's tons of other fonts too, that you can search for on the web besides these.
