I cannot say the same with the application I'm having to use now: GIMP (with the required X11 installed). I'd never created images before then (not even by hand), but it didn't take long to learn how to use PSP. Seemed far too complicated and more than I could ever need. When I first began checking out a graphics/image applications, back in the old days, I looked at PhotoShop. The graphics application I've had to make do with in lieu of PSP is a poor replacement. Have happily adapted to the new environment and new applications, with one exception. Just got my Mac Mini a week ago and am having a ball with it. It's been almost two years since the OP of this thread and still no PaintShop Pro for Mac. Photoshop elements is nothing but a cut down version of photoshop If someone could figure out a way to run PSP on my Mac effeciently they would have all my money my undying love and gratitude. Productivity is the key, with ever so slight compromises on quality. I have the need to process the 50 to 90 images from a shoot and burn them to disc for the client to deliver the next working day. If I spend 5 minutes on a photograph I have wasted 3 minutes. Then theres the ease to which you can correct perspective distortion, a feature that took me fully 2 days to find in Photoshop.and I know what Im looking for. This would include the reliabilty of the One Step fix tool, noise reduction and fill flash. Add to that the productivity the macro feature provides, giving you the ability to load and process 20 images ata time for operations that are the same. Nicely laid out features that work together such as saturation/lightness. colour replacement tool to take out those grey skies with a gradient blue and adjustable cloneing make the lawns look green again. But it also has distortion correction tools for fisheye barrel and pincussion (only as addons for photoshop), You need this for a wide range of lens issues. Paint shop pro is simpler, much better layed out for intuitive learning (why did you buy a Mac again ?), requires less time to do the same operations. photoshop has much more user oriented support with a wide range of tools available.most of dubious quality. Photoshop has nicer more comprehensive (for the mostpart) effective tools, but the layout sucks, the menus have become way too nested and the interface looks like it was designed by newspaper men (not that it should matter). Paint shop pro is photograhy oriented.yes stupidly inverse names Photoshop is a graphic artist oriented program
