Thanks. Which version of Photoshop should I get ? My laptop is new, so hardware won't be a problem.

but note that photoshop is very expansive(for me)

To create the required image choose the rectangle selection tool. In the options there is an option for curved corners. Increase or decrease it to your own needs.

Next select the paint bucket and pour in your favorite color.
