We use Xara X, a European graphics program.  It's really easy to use!  And it does annimated gif's too.  Compared to Photoshop, it's a very reasonably priced graphics software package.  I think it's like $60 now.  Go to Xara.com to see what I'm talking about.  \n\nIt's a great alternative graphics program to Photoshop.

If you are looking for a software for drawing, sketching, designing brochures etc Corel Draw is one option. Macromedia Flash is basically a software to create web-based animations, web applications and presentations. Fundamentally the difference is that Corel Draw is used to work with images and Flash is used to work with moving images(animations).

Coldfusion is macromedia's answer to ASP and PHP. it uses a language similar to PHP and IMO is inferior to ASP.NET. Maybe that's because I use ASP.NET everyday.\n\nFireworks is a Photoshop + Imageready and is very good to get started in graphic design, however; it will never be a replacement for good old photoshop.\n\nFlash is used to create animations, either swf files or animated gifs.\n\nFreehand is a vector graphic program akin to Illustrator.  Vector are awesome because they are so sharp.

I've never used Fireworks, but I can testify to the fact that Adobe Photoshop is absolutely wonderful and worth every cent of the (considerable) pricetag.  It's easy enough for a beginner to grasp, and what you can do with it expands with your ambition and knowledge of the software.  I know a lot of professional designers use the Adobe Suite as well.

photoshop is more for digital editing, the basic package doesn't include the basic paint tools such as "circle", or "square".\n\nPaint shop has a quicker learning curve, photoshop has better effect filters.  Both offer comparable packages though.\n\nKeep in mind though that there are a lot of alternatives out there though including many that are free.  \n\nFXFoto (http://www.fxfoto.com/), The Gimp (http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/), Pixia (http://park18.wakwak.com/~pixia/) and PhotoFilter (http://www.photofiltre.com/).  All of these have features comparable to the tools you mentioned.  See the individual websites for more info.\n\nThe key though is not which features are better (most are coparable), but rather, mastering one tool and it's features.  Once you pick the tool you like best you will be well on your way to mastering your talents.\n\nGood luck :-)

I'd to use SWiSHmax 1. It is very easy to use and convinent. And the price is also lower than Studio Flash. \n\nHere is the discription:\nSWiSHmax has everything you need to create stunning fully interactive Flash animations. You can create shapes, text, buttons, sprites, and motion paths. You can also include more than 230 ready-to-use animated effects including explode, vortex, 3D spin, and wave. You can create your own effects or make an interactive movie by adding actions to objects. A scripting language allows you to program sophisticated operations into your animations. You can preview your animation inside SWiSHmax without launching a browser or external player, and live editing lets you make changes while the animation is playing. SWiSHmax creates all the files you need to upload to your Web server, or you can generate the HTML code to paste into an existing Web page. \n\nhttp://www.download.com/SWiSHmax/3000-6676_4-10223922.html?tag=lst-6-3

Paint Shop Pro (any version). They are a lot cheaper than Photoshop and do basically the same functions.\n\nFor nice photo editing (like touchups), I recommend Paint Shop Pro X. Paint Shop Pro 7 is easier to use, probably cheaper, and the most popular PSP.

Macromedia Dreamweaver, with Fireworks and Flash are my favorites.  Also Adobe Go Live used to be ok.  Then there's Microsoft Frontpage, Microsoft Publisher, Microsoft Word even.  I'm sure there are others, but those are the most popular.
