A. You'll most likely be using Photoshop, it's certainly the industries leading photo editor. To create logos and you'll probably be using more Illustrator, another Adobe product, as it's a vector program and will create much finer lines, without pixels. If you're serious, I'd look into some of the Adobe Suites, that come with pretty much anything you need. Though they are very expensive, they are fantastic products and will give you a headstart.
