Re: It's a toss-up but I'm being swayed.

I've used Paintshop pro since it was version 2. Currently using 7. However, I'm working for a print machinery company now and use Photoshop (the full version) on a PowerMac G5. I think Adobe did Photoshop Elements to compete with the Paintshop Pro at pricepoint. While Paintshop Pro has gotten much bigger and more complicated to try and step up into the Photoshop market. Paintshop is probably easier to learn for a novice. I originally bought Paintshop Pro because if its simplicity to use. However, once learned, I think Photoshop is more flexible and does things more elegantly.
If you're really into the professional side of printing, I feel Photoshop does a better job with the CMYK conversion and the clone and spot fixes (things like dithering film grain from a very good scan of a negative).
So I'm starting to be swayed to like Photoshop better. But not necessarily Photoshop Elements.
Hope that helps.
