gimp is the most capable image editor available for Linux AFAIK. There
are other image editors, but I don't think I've used any of them in the
last 15 years. The problem that a lot of people seem to have with gimp
is that it doesn't work exactly like photoshop. If gimp doesn't work
for you, you might want to describe why it doesn't work, and then people
could suggest other programs. I had to Read The Fine Manual before I
could use gimp to do anything at all....

Don't know; I don't work with movies very much.

Since IE renders HTML differently from Safari, which renders HTML
differently from Firefox, I don't know that WYSIWYG is really *possible*
in this context. People have tried--I remember the "bluefish" project
at the very least, and there might be a fork of Mozilla Composer
somewhere out there.

What I've usually done here is set up apache running on localhost, put
the HTML files into /home/me/public_html/somewhere/ (if UserDir is
enabled), then point my browser at http://localhost/~me/somewhere/ .
Then I point my text editor at ~/public_html/somewhere/ , make changes,
save the changed files, and push "reload" in the browser. This is
probably not what you really want to do, but it'll show you *exactly*
what it'd look like in the browser.
