I'm still interested in hearing people's views on IrfanView and GIMP, but in the meantime, I made an icon I really wanted all by myself! Yay!
I found a great site here. It has anime-related pictures you can use to make your own icons with their built-in editing software. It even allows basic special effects and text. I'm so pleased. As a bibliophile and librarian, I really wanted this picture as an icon as soon as I saw it.
It came out a little blurry, but hopefully any graphics software I end up with will be able to clean it up at some future date.
ETA: That date has arrived! Original blurry icon replaced with new and improved version. You can actually see what color her eyes are in this one.
