I'm seeking suggestions for software that will allow me to create or edit graphic images for logos, stuff like swooshes, loops, "hand drawn" type stuff. I need quite a few logos . . . as I've got a few too many domains . ;) . . so I'm looking for an app that works well for creating decent logos.

I'm also confused. (It's a self-inflicted "wound".) Do most/all "graphics software" also enable a user to "work with photo images", i.e., edit them, add text, etc?

I'm only slightly familiar with photo/image editors - the kind that come with digital cameras. I haven't played around me, so I'm pretty clueless.

This is me starting a serious effort to be less clueless about creating and working with graphics and photo editing. Forgive me if, at my advanced age, I should know better. ;)
