Ok.. If you're using it to design a graphic like a logo and stuff, then Photoshop alone will not cut it for you. (By the way, as a previous answer said, GIMP is free and its a photoshop comparable program). What you really need is Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator is what you use to create your own graphics like logos, etc. You can combine that with Photoshop so you can port in pictures or images or vice versa. However, Illustrator takes some time to learn before you can be any good at using the software, and the learning curve is quite high at the start.
Also, Illustrator is not free although you can trial it for 30 days.
AutoCAD Detailing Software for Structural Shop drawings
With AutoCAD becoming popular, it has changed the method a steel detailer executes his steel detailing tasks and manufactures shop drawings for steel structural shop drawings. There are quite a few shop drawing services that provide you with your requirements of shop drawings.
Below mentioned are uses of AutoCAD structural detailing software that helps in increasing productivity and giving precise details of actual steel structures.
Intelligent Structural Drawings
Drafters and engineers can make steel structural shop drawings or rebar drawings with the help of intelligent components instead of lines and curves like: plates, beams, walls and reinforcement bars. These components vigorously react to changes and automatically update material takeoffs. You can practically bend, lengthen, split, cut or merge objects. AutoCAD Structural Drawings prepares shop drawings by mechanically creating objects or building cross sections and elevations with dimensions and descriptions.
Automatically creates finished workshop drawings
AutoCAD Structural Drawings creates finished drawings with assemblies, single parts, schedules and material takeoffs. The software facilitates in streamlining time consuming updates of dimensions and descriptions when design changes are made which offers increased data management throughout shop drawings.
Region specific templates, codes and database
Templates of shop drawing documentation are prepared depending upon detailing methods and regional codes which are country specific particularly for reinforced actual drawings. There are a number of templates readily available in AutoCAD Structural Drawings software depending on regional detailing practices like designations and hatching patterns, in various countries, adhering to location specific detailing methods and suitable elements or material schedules. AutoCAD structural shop drawings include region specific database of materials, steel profiles as well as reinforcement bar shapes from various countries meeting appropriate local requirements like materials, steel sections, or rebar shapes.
