I use both Fireworks and photoshop. But Gimpshop is free and pretty equal to photo. I have to work at it and integrate.

Personally i use gimpshop for my images. Its free and it works very well. It may take a little while to get used to it but for building websites its exellent as its very easy to resize images.

In general, I would say GIMP is pretty good at what it does, but it annoys me that it has to run in X11 on Mac. The windows don't relate to each other as well as something that runs natively with a Carbon interface.

Fireworks is good for doing web page image manipulation.

But Photoshop still rules supreme as the ultimate, and when you're used to it, it is difficult to get used to other things.

Having said that, I doubt that I would spend the money, personally, for Photoshop if it weren't provided for me by work. So GIMP would be the tool of choice, I think.

The best one i think is photoshop and flash use together.
Because you can do your painting and drawing it photoshop then make them move with flash.

You're a lot better off by using Illustrator (or something else that is vector based) if you're planning on pulling things into Flash, which is also vector based.

Flash files get huge and unmanageable in a lot of cases when you are trying to animate bitmap images!

It's like anything else you have to learn to optimize. I've had some real bonehead mistakes in flash.

I use photoshop, but I recognize that there are so many good programs out there, it's silly to devote to just one. Most of the time, I stick to three or four favorite graphics programs including Roxio. Roxio is probably the easiest way to twist pictures.
