Peter:
In my experience, PhotoShop is the best image manipulation program on the
market and well worth the money. I've been using it for the past two years
and really like the Adobe listens to customers and enhances their product
with helpful tools. With Photoshop 5, you have multiple undo, new lasso
tools to make cutouts crisp, and excellent wizard features. It also does
well with color and handles the various image formats well.
The only downside is the interface. It takes time to learn the numerous
tools. If you take the time to figure it out, however, I think you'll be
impressed.
