They are image editors.
I use photoshop. Its the industry standard. I would recommend it. If you don't have that much money get Photoshop Elements 3.

photoshop is a great program... i have 7.0... buthte most recent version is 8.0(CS). Its really good for creating banners, graphics, and even website layouts... once u learn it... its really fun to use..

I use Paintshop Pro 9, I like it a lot; though I have never used Photoshop, so I can not comment on it.

I have been using PSP for about 4 years now, started with version 7.

You can try them both for free:

I started out in PS Elements 2.0 and never looked back. I than went out and got 7.0 and I absolutly love it. You can do ANYTHING with photoshop if you set your mind to it and take the time to learn it.

photoshop is the only program to use if you want to create graphic intensive/good looking top of the industry website design

Yea, i think photoshop is a great program.. I use it alot just to make awkward graphics and such. I dont know of any that are better than photoshop.. but yea definately buy it if you have the money..
