I have owned and used Photoshop since it first came out many years ago, along with several other Adobe products. I have also owned and used Paint Shop Pro (a sort of lite version Photoshop) since it first came out, and because of ease of use with almost the same output quality, we've used it far more often than Photoshop over the years. For really high-end or complex work we of course use Photoshop.

You're the 2nd person I've seen recommend Corel Paint Shop Pro.

Don't mean to take this too far from the OP's question, but would you recommend Corel Paint Shop Pro over PS Elements for a beginner? Chances are I will never upgrade to actual PS.

Good question, we have both. We have Photoshop Elements and Paint Shop Pro 4X. I spent years using PSP and still use it a lot (the older version) and I got Elements on a promo deal but never really used it except for trying it out.

My guess, but I'm sure other here know better on this, is that these two photo-editing packages see each other as head-to-competitors. This would mean that they would pretty well match each other feature for feature, which usually means that it really wouldn't matter that much which one you bought, they would both do a good job.
