HelloSunshine
I use Photoshop, and I probably always will. I've never had/used PSP, though. IMO it would be too hard for me to switch over. laugh.gif

I'm loyal to my Photoshop. rolleyes.gif

Photoshop. Only because I've never tried PSP, and plus people usually say photoshop is better.
But I guess it all depends on what you're comfortable with.

actually value wise, probably psp. but i prefer photoshop cs, i think it has an easier interface, but that might be cause i started using ps. thumbsup.gif
still have psp and ps though.

photoshop is lovee~ i used to use psp a long time ago though xD but yea ps is more complex and has more options imo. i have used photoshop for an extremely long time now so i guess im used to it too.

OhSnapItsJasmine
I like both but lately I've been using Photshop CS3. I use PSP for simple quick stuff. At first I only used it though but then I heard of Photoshop!

I like PS because there are more features, brushes, and tutorials avalible.

I used PSP when I first started.

i used to use psp till i got ps (actually i dont have it, its on my sis laptop. i definitely like photoshop better.

I've used both. I borrowed PSPX from a friend for a while, and it was really user friendly. But didn't have near the options as PS, which is why I stuck with PS in the end. Neither are bad though.

photoshop has all my love.

photoshop soo beats psp but i have both so its all good. _smile.gif


Same here. I also take a photoshop class. So they're both great but ps was harder for be to learn than psp.

I think it all depends on what you like/know how to do.
But i prefer PSP its more of a custom editor i guess.

I went from PSP to PSCS2. Gotta love Photoshop. throb.gif

I use ps and to tell the truth i;ve never used Psp but I just think Ps is better because you get a lot more tutorials and brushes available on DV and stuff like that, Iam always able to type in a type of brush I want on DV for PS but I get rare results with PSP but I could be wrong:]

I heard PS was better than PSP. ^^;; Anyway, I was just wondering what you guys thought between the two.


It definitely depends what you're trying to do, and which one you're used to.
I have Paint Shop Pro, but I've used Photoshop.
Personally, I like Paint Shop Pro better, because it's more user friendly.
But photoshop has a little wider variety of what it can do. Not by much, but there's deifnitely some things.
I just like PSP 'cause it's easier for me. =]

This is a good point.
Finding brushes, tutorials, etc is much harder when using PSP.
I was trying to load on some brushes I downloaded today, and they were all a 'newer version' and couldn't be read or something.
wwwww
I use GIMP, which is basically photoshop for free.
ToxicTaco
I use PSPX Its like photoshop, almost. And its easier to use.

I began using psp 7 & still have it now only psp12 but i then began to use photoshop & started to enjoy it.At first i found it confusing after using psp for so long but its really quite easy. I have upgraded from CS2 to the CS3 .

I started with Photoshop and have always loved it.
I only tried a trial version of PSP, just to try it out, and didn't like it even half as much as PS.
That's just me :)
Eww
This must be a joke !

I've tried both and I think photoshop is the best! I do wanna say that it really doesnt matter what you use, you just have to know your program. I mean, what do ya'll think I use for my stuff, photoshop or psp... NEITHER! I use GIMP!
Anephoria
photoshop all the way.
RoyalSwagger
Photoshop all the way haha, but as a graphic designer I use Illustrator WAY MORE OFTEN then anything else, and find it way better then any other program (as far as graphic design)/
xDeleteThisAccountx
Photoshop has more editing options.
but i love psp for some reason.
i use adobe lightroom for re-touches
and psp for making layouts and graphics

I love, love, love PSP. I started with version 6 and am now on version 12. I did try ps, but didn't like not using layers like in psp. Also you couldn't add an image by pasting as new layer in photoshop.

Well i only have Photoshop, but i have seen people using PSP and making graphics. In my opinion, Photoshop's more convenient and offers more things to do _smile.gif

Paint shop pro was made BY JASC ( Now Corel)
Photoshop is made by adobe the makers of dreamweaver and the other fancy programs ;) most people say photoshop is the better of the two programs LOL

I personally like both, I started off using paint shop pro 8 or 9 in 2004 and I got photoshop last year after using it in my graphic design class in high school.

Photoshop is just a wee bit more complicated to me..Idk why.

I own PSP 9 & PS CS2 but I prefer PSP so that's what I mainly use; it's really no huge difference but PSP is what I love

Actually, I had paint shop pro back in middle school. My friend burned me a copy. Then I finally experienced adobe photoshop in high school (boyfriend had it).

I can say that PS > PSP because although PSP is a lot easier to navigate through (well, at least for the old version that I had), but Photoshop had more options. You could do more to photos and stuff, I guess. But I'm not into crazy photo manipulations, so it's like w/e.

Oh man though, I remember using Animation Shop when I had Paint Shop Pro. Haha so easy.
