photoshop or paint pro?

[madamy]

Looking at the cool stuff, you have all designed I have been inspired to learn how to do it. I have Photoshop 4.0, I have used it to improve photo quality,crop photos and make slide shows. Obviously, I need to upgrade but would like to know the pros & cons of each program before I buy one. I will most likely be using it to create designs and digital scrapbooks. What do you like and hate about the program you have. Which is most user friendly and easiest to learn? are the newest versions the best?

Thanks in advance for your help.

ps. finding this forum is very dangerous for someone that likes her computer and creative projects too.

Thanks for all the great designs you share.

I have Paint Shop Pro X.

It's fairly simple to use with an easy user interface and a good help menu. I'm just begining to explore options like templates, stamps and tubes.

I can't think of anything (yet) that I don't like; however, I don't know if version X is still available as they (Corel) has changed the program and now have two new "upgrades".
