Adobe has two little programs that are not terribly expensive (around
$100 each). I use both and really like them - strictly for web images,
however! ImageReady and ImageStyler. ImageReady does animations,
unlimited undo, lets you see the changes when compressing file sizes,
changes from gifs to jpgs - other file types also but these are the only
2 I use, has basic editing and manipulating of images tools - and is
quite easy to use. ImageStyler does all the cool 3-D, shadow, cut-out
stuff - allowing you to quickly make buttons & icons and writes
javascript mouseovers for you, adds URLs for imagemaps and alt text if
you want it to. Get them from a discount catalogue or something tho' -
cheaper and faster than getting them directly from Adobe!
