not many people use maya around these parts, the only real good thing about maya is it’s rendering engine (which blender 2.6 can almost match), the rest is just junk compared to blender which is why we use blender here.
alot of people can do what you need done in blender. if you change your mind to use blender let me know as I can do what you need done.
as for photo editing, I can use photoshop and do for some features, but for most things it yields more professional image control options to use The GIMP.
