If you plan to develop content for Cartoon Animator then it is recommended you have the Pipeline version which has PSD live import and export. With Pipeline you also get PSD character templates to help you get started which speed up the creative process.
Then you will need something to actually draw and edit your characters or other content such as Photoshop and Illustrator, or if you don't use Adobe products you could go for something like Affinity Photo and/or Affinity Designer. That's all you really need to get started.
