Making Sprites

Photoshop!  I'm a spriter and use it all the time.  It's great. 

However there are tons of programs that work just as well.  It's not like you need any of those filters in or any of the tricks in Photoshop.  I use Photoshop because of the animations it can do.  I makes making smooth sprites a LOT easier.

There are a few free programs specifically for spriting.  I forgot what they're called though.
 
If you want a free program, try Paint.NET.  It has layers and can create transparency, but it doesn't have animations.  It's better than MS Paint, but not as good as Photoshop.  There are sprite templates in the Resource Analysis forum in one of the stickies, I believe.

Or you could frankensprite. That is quite popular. There used to be a tutorial. Dunno if its still there. Its basically paste heads on top of bodies. Practically switching and editing body parts.
LOL, The comments in that site say that isn't a character editor but yes a virus. o.o
