I don't know if it will fit in with your plans or not, but eriqjaffe created an online 2-D ballpark generator that is super easy to use and accepts the parameters you set forth in your posts. Might be worth looking into. The link is in his sig file.
Also, let me just throw in my 2 cents and vouch for GIMP. Like you, I can't afford Photoshop, but even if I could, I'd still use GIMP. I love it for cleaning up logos and such, and even on the occasions when I have to get in and scrub pixel-by-pixel. A combination of GIMP and the tools created by Eriq and justafan are all I need.
Good luck, and I'm glad that Eugene is helping you out. He is one of the good guys.
