I used both for most images because I couldn't previously resolve my grain issues in PS. Grain Surgery being a Photoshop plug-in may let me eliminate PSP from my work flow. I'd start out in PSP7 elimating dust, scratches, and smoothing to eliminate grain. Sometimes I would do some color editing in PSP7, but almost always finished up in PS. Does that make more sense you Herb?

PSP 7 is a lot worse than Photoshop at color management and that means it's not very useful for photographic work. it only color manages to the monitor and not to the printer.
