Hi Keith, I used PaintShop Pro for many years (starting with the then new PSP 5), when I first started to get into digital imaging with my film scanner. This was a pretty good program for the money but in time I saw how much more I could get done faster and better with PS and finally broke down and bought a copy. BTW, PS-CS here in the states is about $600 or so, still not cheap exactly. I don't know what the lowest price is but $600 is about right from a full service pro photo or software shop. I bought an upgrade to my academic version (exactly the same except that it had a sticker on the shrink wrap that said "Academic Version"), of PS 7.01 for $160. You might try and buy a used "Academic Version" license, used, they can be found for less and then upgrade. HTH!
