    Hey guys,Wondering what you use? Paintshop Pro or Photoshop? Currently I have been learning Paintshop Pro and it has been very easy and effective, but Photoshop just seems to be a whole lot more popular.Any pros and cons between the two that you have personally experienced?

    If you're on a budget, GIMP cannot be beat. Period. Haven't used Paintshop Pro all that much. Photoshop is, well... Photoshop. :)

    Just forget Paintshop Pro. Choose GIMP (free) or Photoshop (paid).

    To be clear: Photoshop is the industry standard - It is definitely the better option even if it is more expensive. There is just more power and functionality with it. There are also more tutorials for it online.

    PaintShopPro is only easy to learn, but Photoshop is easy to learn and to create different types of website design according to the site theme. Photoshop is improving day by day with its latest version for the enhancement of better ease in the use of it to its users. It is therefore the best source for web design.

    Photoshop is the best graphics program in my opinion but the ideal program really depends on what you need it for -- if Paintshop Pro fulfills your needs, why change?

    Yes Photoshop most popular from this software. You can always find a lot of tutorials, or another helpful information.
    But as i thnik you should use just what you want. You can't make something cool if you didn't like things that you use....
    I mean if you have a nice idea you can realise it on Photoshop or on PaintShopPro.

    Definitely Photoshop is the best software for design jobs. I've been using it for 2 years. Of course, it takes some time to learn, at least a couple of hours a day. But even with little knowledge you can create great stuff with it, by using all kinds of filters and plugins that it has.

    Photoshop is better. It includes many features and you can play with most of them. It has been improving so it's really great.
