Hi Jason, Firstly good luck with the project, sounds a great idea. I've had a lot of fun trying to create CB games, it can be time consuming but it's an absorbing process (my wife's definition would be "time wasting").
I'm no expert but the tool I use most for manipulating picture files for use in CB is called "the GIMP". The acronym stands for "General Image Manipulation Program". The program itself is "open source", which (if you aren't familiar with the open source movement) means it's entirely free to download and use. (Absolutely no catches at all.) The GIMP is quite a sophisticated program but there's a good body of help documentation available and lot's of tutorials. It'll do everything you need it to do and more but it'll probably take a bit of time to familarise yourself with it. (It depends how IT literate you are really - I'm a bit of a geek but don't like to admit it.) Here's a link to software http://www.gimp.org/ , why not download it and give it a go?
