Since I'm a graphics / web designer, I need a perfect image software. First , I'm choosing if Paintshop or Photoshop, they seem the same but I rather chose the intermediate ones, Adobe PS. Handling this software is not easy, I used MS Paint ones, so I'm not used in the navigations in the application. But it has a lot features, really perfect for image editing, it also has Image ready which can be used in slicing , mapping links, in your web page. I found this PS really useful to me.
