Graphic designers can do some truly amazing things with the latest image editing software, however with that comes at a price. Adobe Photoshop is widely recognised as one of the best applications for editing, however if you want to purchase Photoshop CS5 from Adobe's website it will set you back $699.

It allows the user to design websites visually, or manually change the code of your site as well as offering a host of other capabilities. Dreamweaver CS5 will currently cost you another $399 from Adobe.For someone who is interested in trying web design for the first time, or does not have the budget for such expensive software there are some great alternatives out there free of charge.GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) provides much of the same functionality as Adobe Photoshop and as Open Source software is free for anyone to download.
