i like PSP, but the truth is skill with Photoshop is more marketable (you could probably stick it on a CV if you got any good at it) and it is much more widly used as far as i can see.
btw, like i said, i don't use Photoshop but my PSP (ver 7, old i know) did come with an animator program (Animation Shop 3) which does gifs.

gimp sounds nice and all, but again i only use my phone for my net use, unless it is absolutely necessary to haul my tower over to my womans house, because i dont at this time find it necessary to get a phone line. thanks for the responses people, i will wait for more of them and make my decision tomorrow based on majority and information about both these programs. for those with elements, how easy is it to say, remove scars and blemishes?

I haven't used Paint Shop Pro in quite a while now, and not since Corel bought it out so I can't really tell you which of the two products are better.
Photoshop Elements is great because Adobe has kept a lot of the tools found in Photoshop CS2 and added an easier user interface, with easy access to common tasks.
I did hear that Paint Shop Pro has now changed from being a Photoshop wanna be to a consumer level editing program probably with a similar feature set to Photoshop.
Gimp
If you're prepared to get your hands dirty you could try the Gimp, it's free, supports most file formats and has a great feature set.
I do find it a little clunky when running it on Windows due to it using GTK libaries, and also I find some features hard to locate (mainly because I am used to Photoshop). The 3 or 4 task bar buttons on (1 task button per tool box) is a little annoying too.
For the affordable price of $0 you could just try it, you have nothing but time to loose.

Re: which is better?
Don't buy either: - Buy a WACOM stylus and tablet for about $100 and get this software free: Adobe Photoshop Elements 3, Corel Painter Essentials 2, nik Color Efex Pro 2 GE, Evernote Plus, and JustWrite Office 4that_guy wrote:paint shop pro x is 129.99 and photoshop elements 4.0 is 99.99. which is better? i want to glamour touch my pics and basically want the most options to do to my pics in terms of enhancement and variety. also will either one edit gif files? i am on my phone so i cant search, but i want opinions from the members here.
