I like Paint Shop Pro. It's more intuitive for a Windows based user, Photoshop has alot of Macintosh traits..

What is a good price for Paint Shop Pro? I have seen it for 54.99 up to 79.99. Does it have all of the photo manipulation stuff I used to get from Adobe PhotoDeluxe?

I have never tried Photo Deluxe..
I have the version I bought long ago.. 5.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif).. I am pretty sure the new versions have a bunch of features I'd never know about. I paid $50 something for this version. Get the demo version from http://www.jasc.com/ M |

Go to Adobe's web site and take a look at "Photoshop Elements". It's a low-cost (something like $99) alternative that, for the casual user, does everything you need from a photo-editing package. They may even still have a free trial download.
Nice little package. |

If you want something easy to use get Paintshop Pro as suggested. If you want something totally free that has near-photoshop ability but with a little steeper learing curve download The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program). Go to http://www.gimp.org and click the "gimp for windows" link on the download page (gimp is primarily used on Unix/Linux, but the Windows version works too). It's fully scriptable, supports plugins, etc. At zero cost it's definitely worth having (several movie studios use it and it's counterpart 'filmgimp').

QUOTE Go to Adobe's web site and take a look at "Photoshop Elements Isn't Elements a stripped version of PhotoDeluxe? I had that on my Sony Vaio and it sucked! That's why I am asking all of the gods on this board for advice before I purchase another looser program! I liked the Adobe features but they are not available on the cheeper versions anymore! Jeff |

I agree with photoshop all the way! If you don't feel like forking out the dough, Photoshop Element is a great alternative for $100. It is in no way related to photo deluxe as far as I know. It's simply a scalled down version of photoshop.
