Adobe Photoshop - Quite possibly the most popular image editing software available. Very powerful, and can be used in a variety of ways. http://adobe.com Price: $650 USD

Jasc PaintShop Pro - An imaging program similar to PhotoShop but not as powerful (in my opinion), but is an inexpensive alternative to achieve similar effects created with PhotoShop.
http://www.jasc.com/...s/paintshoppro/ Price: $84 USD

The GIMP - A free imaging program similar to PS and PSP. Not very user friendly, but it's free!
http://gimp.org Price: $0 USD

DAZ/Corel Bryce 5 - A 3D rendering program. Used in a variety of ways, from modeling to landscape scenes. A very good entry level program for someone starting out in 3D.
http://bryce.DAZ3D.com Price: On Sale Until 7/28 for $59.96USD

Maxon Cinema4D - Another 3D rendering program, but this one is very powerful and is intended for the more intermediate user. I kinda consider it the "User Friendly Version" of 3D Studio MAX. I highly recommend this program.
http://maxon.net Price: $595 USD

discreet Studio MAX 6 - By far one of the most powerful 3D programs I've had the opportunity to use. This program will do almost anything imaginable. Unfortunately its VERY expensive to buy licensing, as its targeted toward game developers and movie makers. Instead of this program, I suggest using gmax, a lite version of 3ds Max.
http://discreet.com Price: $3,495.00 USD for licensing.

Alias Maya 6.0 - Another program similar to 3ds Max yet even more expensive. This program is used by most techical schools to teach intro to 3D modeling and animation. (Great program)
http://aliaswavefront.com Price: $6999 USD

e-on Software Vue D'Esprit 4 - Vue d'Esprit 4 is the ideal tool for creating realistic, natural 3D graphics and animation. Designed for ease-of-use, both for the traditional 2D graphics designer and for 3D artists, Vue d'Esprit lets you create incredible volumetric skies, realistic landscapes, glowing materials, planets and more. SolidGrowth technology lets you generate completely unique vegetation.
http://e-onsoftware.com Price: $179 USD

Terragen - Terragen is a rather powerful, free, and easy to use landscaping program. Creates very nice pieces when used correctly.
http://planetside.co.uk Price: Free


I spent time doing this but was worth it

I remain sceptical on just how much work you actually might have put into that, aside from copying and pasting perhaps. For one thing, I know you do hardly anything but post whore and annoy people, so I doubt you actually took the time to research any of this. Also, I ran a quick Google search and you would be surprised to find the number of quotes I got for most of the lines of text. :P They're mostly product advertisement quotes which can be found on the companies' websites.

That aside, it's a nice list and thank you for posting it. I might add parts of it to the How To Make Cover Art sticky later.
