Photoshop is arguably the biggest and best editor of course...but there's been cheaper alternatives that do almost everything Pshop does.
Photoshop Elements for example. Or Ulead PhotoImpact...PhotoScape, Gimp, etc.
I used an ancient copy of (shareware) Aldus Photostyler2.0 for many, many years to do much of my photo editing and image manipulation. I still use it quite often these days...despite having bought copies of both PS CS4 and Elements.
A $10/hr. designer can have the 'Ferrari' app - but unless he knows how to use it properly to its full potential...he's still just a $10/hr. designer.
