Imaging software

Photoshop (Adobe Systems, Inc.)
Adobe currently offers a free plug-in to export artwork to GIF89a. The Photoshop product info page (above) steers you to downloading instructions.
Painter (Fractal Design Corporation)
Version 4 of Painter has built-in tools to help create graphics for the web. Transparency is designated by using a mask and a threshold setting. See chapter 7 of the Tutorial manual for more details.
Illustrator (Adobe Systems, Inc.)
Ok, so Illustrator technically isn't imaging software, but it's new rasterize option and GIF89a plug-in put it on this list. I have no idea if this is different from the Photoshop version, but you can find out for yourself. The Illustrator product info page (above) steers you to downloading instructions.
I admit it: this is a short list, but I only know about the products I've used. If you want to see product info added to this list, click on the Comments link below.
