Photoshop definitely isn't a beginner's tool. I'd say Paint Shop Pro is the best value of the bunch; great features for the price, and not too tough to learn.

If you're only dabbling, or doing minor touchups and image scanning, PSP should be more than enough for you.

MGI Photosuite III and Adobe Photo Deluxe are easy to use and very web-oriented.

I like Photoshop 5.0 but it isn't user friendly.

I'm working with Photoshop 5.5 it was not too hard to learn, just flip through a book and you'll have the general idea in a matter of hrs. With Image ready (comes with it) you'll have quite a powerful combo(for non vector imaging)for both web creation and image editing. The nice thing about putting in the effort with Photoshop 5.5 is that it will be a workable program for you even if you get good enough to work at a professional level. If you can stand the intial outlay of cash (quite expensive comparative to others)then photoshop 5.5 is a safe bet.

Paint Shop Pro is probably the easiest to learn for general image editing, imo.
