Get a nice editor that you like. Tucows has a lot of editor demos. Try them out and find one that fits you personal preference. You need it. You will need money.
Software is expensive.
A big monitor will help you work. It should be up there on the priorities list Create standard templates for each file structure level. Invest in a nice file conversion tool. I recommend ACDSee32. It converts to GIF, JPG, PNG, BMP and just about everything else.
