    Photoshop is pretty much standard software with web design. There are others out there though such as Paint Shop Pro so it's down to personal preference. I for example, prefer Photoshop CS2 rather than the later versions where others may need the more advanced features in CS6. I'd recommend downloading a trial of a few different packages and testing them out to see what works for you.

    Photoshop best for design a website, upon loading Photoshop, a sidebar with a variety of tools with multiple image-editing functions appears to the left of the screen. These tools typically fall under the categories of cropping and slicing; drawing; painting; measuring and navigation; selection; typing; and retouching. Some tools contain a small triangle in the bottom right of the toolbox icon. These can be expanded to reveal similar tools.

    I use Photoshop too, but Adobe Fireworks is originally made for web design use.

    Start with GIMP or Paint.net If you need more than that, you can look at spending money. But you may not need to.

    There's 0 chance you need more than GIMP, the issue lies in if you only want to stay in freelance. Working for a business will require you're familiar with the Adobe line of products.

    Photoshop is US$700 or more (depending on which version you want). GIMP and Paint.Net are free.

    I prefer Fireworks because I've used it all along, for ten years. There's too much stuff to fiddle with oh PS for me just to make website graphics and optimize images.
