That's a fact
As to submitters, it really depends on whether you're thinking of doing TGP's or Link Lists. If TGP galleries, perhaps a submitter...but be very careful with it. It's very easy to get blacklisted in the beginning. You'd be better off to stay with manual submissions for a while.
If you're thinking of doing free sites for Link Lists, you'll want to stay away from submitters completely. They're a sure way to get on blacklists in a hurry. With link lists...always do manual submissions...period.
Software wise, I'm a dinosaur...hand coding all the way...and every page validated. There are some decent html coders these days, but I'm not familiar with them...perhaps others will chip in on the subject
Photoshop should be fine for image optimization. Personally, I use smaller programs specific to optimization myself. And use Fireworks for image manipulation.
