I'm wondering what took 45 minutes in PSP that would have take five in
Photoshop<g>.
I agree with most of what Andrew said. However, PSP5 has come of age. It
is a significant improvement over PSP4 and can now do super-duper slick
graphics. PSP5 will even do colour separations. Like Andrew, I'd buy PSP
and use the remaining $450 to buy something else. However, for me, the
something else would be Corel Professional Publisher upgrade (Ventura, Draw,
PhotoPaint, Dream, WordPerfect, et al.) -- you almost certainly possess a
qualifying product!
Just my two eurocents.
