I am looking for recommendations for software to do editing of monochrome
and gray-scale scanned images.  I need to clean up some images, and then
overlay text and graphics (lines, arrows, markers, etc.) onto them.  What
should I get?

I have heard good things about Adobe Photoshop.  Are there any other
packages that rival it?  Is the $500 mail order price for it not really
worth it?  Is it overkill?

I am using an HP Scanjet Plus with a Mac IIci.

Please e-mail and I will summarize if there is enough interest.
