JoomlaFCK Editor
By far the best WYSIWYG editor I've seen for Joomla. You'll need to register on the Joomla FCK site to download it. Don't be fooled by the subscription plans, just select the "Free" option on the bottom, they'll email you when your subscription has been processed, and then you'll be able to download.
This plug-in is well-worth the extra trouble!

Adobe Photoshop
