If you're starting GIMP or paint.net will both handle .tga files and are free. GIMP is more complex than Paint.net.

I prefer to use Paintshop pro most of the time, version XI has the colour changer that is extremely useful and can be purchased a little cheaper than the current version on ebay. I also like the way it can take a photo of a wagon or boxcar at an angle then resize it so its flat on.

Having said that GIMP is easier to use when lettering, it gives better control over the size of the letters.

Which one? Trainz carriage works should be fine.

Thanks John

John,
I find with PSP I can get any text size by creating text as vectors and dragging the vector boundary box to what ever size I need. I am using version 7 of PSP..and it does all I want for Trainz.

But if you're trying to repeat and match size being able to put a number in for the size helps.
