While Photoshop may well be the industry standard for graphic designers to edit images for the web, not everyone wants or needs such an extensive and expensive application.  If your needs are primarily to edit banners, buttons, and insert images into your existing website, then you won't need to spend $800 to do it.  GIMP offers the basic functions that Photoshop does, but it's free!  

As an open source application, GIMP is constantly being made better by the people who use it.  It's a great tool for basic image manipulation, I suggest you at least check it out.  

You can get more information as well as download it from here:  gimp.org
