I think gimp is tyhe best free alternative to PS, but you wont make much quality stuff without experience or other programmes such as 3ds max.

Adobe Illustrator is probably the best 'paid' software you'll get for creating images. It's expensive though.
Photoshop and gimp is more image editing rather than creating.

There's no best software to make an album cover with, you can use any of these. It all depends on how you use the tools. :)

+1
Try the demo versions before shelling out - it all depends on what works for you. Some amazing art has been created with the basic programs that come with windows.

Autocad. I gringe every time i use an image editing software that doesn't let me set everything with an absolute accuracy. The full version costs about 4000e, but is well worth the price. Though its a vector graphics software, so you would probably be better of with another type of software.
