Give the GIMP a test drive. It is an 8Mb download from this location:
http://www2.arnes.si/~sopjsimo/gimp/stable.html
It has many pro features for the WWW and the only dowside is probably the inability to save GIFs in countries whre LZW is still covered by patents. (I don’t know the details.) It works only in RGB and Greyscale color modes (no CMYK support at the moment).
It’s, of course, free, and new releases are coming every now and then, so you don’t have to wait years for the new release just to be disappointed by the new "features". 😉
For WWW, you need the GIMP as well as another freeware app for image compression (XnView handles tihngs nicely).
This is about the cheapest solution (price being the cost of on-line time) for pro WWW work, AFAIK.
Mind you, it’s not faster than Photoshop and it doesn’t have as many features. I think it’s getting better all the time, tho. As far as I can tell, it’s already twice as fast as some previous versions that I tested on my PC. It’s probably much, much faster on Linux.
