Tools of the trade

What software do you use for designing graphics?

I myself am using Photoshop CS4 for all my graphics.

I also recently installed CorelDRAW X4 because everyone kept telling me it was amazing for graphic design, but it's going to take me a while to get used to it.

I've managed to get a grasp of basic shape creation and manipulation, but I'm still trying to figure out effects.

I have to agree - Adobe Creative Suite CS4. There just isn't any substitute!

I also have a litte usb storage device with gimp, inkscape, and a couple other open source design programs for if i'm away from my studio and i need to be creative on someone elses computer.
