I would like to hear which program you like and why. I'm considering PSP, mainly because of all the features it offers for the price. Am I making a mistake ? Any advive would be appreciated.

I'm a long-time user of PSP and believe it to be an excellent program, but I suppose the answer to your question is - "it depends."

A good point if you want to be hired.
If you work for yourself have a look at Picture Publisher 10 from Corel/Micrografx- I've used it for years and couldn't survive without it. (I do use Photoshop 6 as well, but only for a few features)

As far as processing digital pictures is concerned, PSP7 is excellent apart from it lacks anything like PS actions or batch processing. I hear PSP8 will have this functionality.

Have you tried Picture Window Pro? I have been using the trail version and it seems to work fine and do everything I need. You can download a 30 day trail version at http://www.dl-c.com .

Many thanks to all who responded. I've decided to go with PSP7.

Be forewarned that PSP7 clobbers your EXIF data in your images.
Excellent choice, I am satisfied with it!
Photoshop 5.0 and above is sofisticated enough to do professional web design. I pro that.

I used PSP for many years because the price tag on Photoshop was so high. However, lately I've found I've been needed Photoshop more and more and have stopped using PSP completely. In fact, just a few days ago I suddenly realized I didn't even bother to install it on my PC when I reloaded my software.
If you can use PSP and you don't run into any thing you need to do, use it, it is a great product. If you suddenly find you hear people talking about a function of Photoshop that PSP doesn't have and you need it, then it is time to bite the bullet and upgrade.
If you are just starting out, you might want to work into Photoshop, it is a little tough and PSP isn't very hard at all. It would be totally OK to start with PSP and grow into PS.

PSP7 does have batch processing limited in the program, Image Robot 1.22, an $49 add-on program for PSP owners, has plenty of batch processing functionality.
Another add-on Media Center Plus 3.10, at $29 or bundled with PSP 7.04 Anniversary Edition, keeps the EXIF function intact.
Go with PSP until you are ready to apply for a graphics position.

You can get some great deals on PSP7 anniversary edition righ now.
amazon.com, has it for $80 instead of the listed $100. Then send in the rebate, you must show evidence you are using an older PSP or a competitor like Photo Shop, MGI, or a couple of others. With that you get a
$30 rebate. So the whole works for $50 ! Now, that not a good deal, that's a bargain. Especially since the latest edition includes 3 other image management programs with it.
Personally, I think PSP has what most amatuers, and even semi - pros can use. If you are on an academic pursuit, or must have specific pro features, than the Photo Shop route would be one to follow.
