2D Tools
Photoshop CS
Great tool for creating any graphic related content all together. With this tool you can do anything. It's what we call a creative program, because it's mostly focused on the freehand tools and such, which gives you freedom to do whatever you want.
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/main.html
Paint Shop Pro 9
Very similar to Photoshop, though photoshop has become the industry standard this tool is also worth a look!
http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Corel2/Products/Home&pid=1047023911984
Illustrator CS
Great freehand tool from adobe. You can create lots of digital drawings with this tool, with it's effective and "intelligent" brushes. Vector-based program.
http://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator/main.html
Painter IX
Much like Photoshop, only it has focused mostly on the drawing tools. Great for making digital drawings, or to mimic real-life painting techniques.
http://www.corel.com/painterix/home/index.html
3D Tools
3D Studio Max 7
This is one of the most famous 3d applications out there. It's build around a natural environment, a 3 dimensional space. This tool is great for modelling and animations.
http://www4.discreet.com/3dsmax/
Maya 6
Another leading 3d application with many great features! Maya and 3d studio max are the leading professional 3d applications at the moment.
http://www.alias.com/eng/products-services/maya/index.shtml
Lightwave 3D 8
A close runner up to Maya and 3d studio max. In competition with Cinema 4d mostly. This is also a great 3d tool, and most users will not notice much difference in quality on any of these 4 tools. Choose what's best for you!
http://www.newtek.com/products/lightwave/
Cinema 4D
Great tool, and newcomer on the market. Great rendering engine.
http://www.maxon.net/
Poser 5
Great tool which lets you create human beings and other living things with the right proportions and overall look. Very effective, though lacks a bit of freedom in some areas.
http://www.curiouslabs.com/
Zbrush
Terragen v0.9.19
Perhaps the most proffesional landscape generation tool around. This will let you construct anything between the sky and the earth, literally!
http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/
Bryce 5
This landscape tool lets you create beautiful mountains, lovely skies and great water. You can make things look so real that you will fool yourself. This tool is a more beginners tool. It is easy to use, but looses a bit of its freedom just because it is easy.
http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Corel2/Products/Home&pid=1047022702299
Vue d'esprit 5
Similar to bryce. This is a bit more advanced tool. It's deffinately worth a look.
http://www.e-onsoftware.com/Products/VueIndex.php
Other
GifOptimizer
Create smaller .gif files!
http://chemware.co.nz/tgo.htm
JPG Cleaner
