Re: PaintShop Pro5 vs. Photoshop???

[Andrew Plato <intrepid_es -at- YAHOO -dot- COM>]

PhotoShop - $500.00
Paint Shop Pro 5 - $59.95

That pretty much says it right there.  Yack and yam on either side but PSP vs.
PS debates almost alway boil down to one overwhelming point - PSP is
significantly less expensive.

Unless you are doing super-duper slick graphics for print or web, PSP should
meet your needs.  I find it always meets my needs for basic business graphics
and documentation. PS only really shines when you are doing super-complex
images or have super-rigid color requirements.

PS is a fantastic tool - but nobody cares if you use a $100000000000000 tool or
a $.01 tool if the docs suck. Buy PSP and use the remaining $450 to buy Acrobat
or some other ludicrously priced software.

Just my snap for the day.
