Paint Shop Pro.

Almost all the features of Photoshop but 10 times easier to use.

Or Paint Shop Pro from JASC Inc, for a cheaper, but nearly as powerful package.

Or as an alternative, there are sites out there with buttons and stuff to use. Just search for "Icons" "Buttons" and "gifs" and you may find what you need.

For making buttons/menus and such get a copy of Fireworks, it takes a bit of getting your head round but will do the job very well indeed.

Photoshop will also come in handy.

Fireworks is a great peice of kit, although it takes a while to figure out how to make the most of it.
