A good friend of mine is trying to have a business logo produced on headed paper etc. However it seems that he needs to provide the original artwork (on a disk). Sadly there is no original artwork, only some scribblings on a piece of paper.
So my question is - What software should I buy (or if it's freeware get) in order to produce said piece of artwork?
Photoshop etc are mindnumbingly expensive, so are there any alternatives I could try. I have used 'The Gimp' but it's way too fiddly to use.
Any advice on siftware choice would be appreciated. :)

I'm with Zok, I use Paintshop Pro at work for 3D pictures and so but also for lots of other stuff.
Well for company logos i reccomend using Illustrator (adobe)
Vector based makes it possibly to scale in any size without loss of detail in any way :D :D :D :D
I use Ulead PhotoImpact and have done for years - Free download of 30 day trial available here (http://www.ulead.co.uk/pi/trial.htm).
You can use vector objects within the proprietry file format (.ufo) and can then save that file to just about any image format you want (including Photoshop .psd)
Thanks I have a grab at the 30 day trial. Any professional designers could quote for the work if they wanted as I'll no doubt make a complete hash of it.
