im not sure if there is something like this but i just wanna know before making a decision and buying it...which is better concerning graphics, adobe photoshop or paint shop pro?
and how much does each cost?

they are both good but i think adobe photoshop has a lot more features. photoshop is not cheap by any means. it usually retails for about $500-$600 whereas paint shop pro retails for about $85-$95 depending on where you buy it.

I say Photoshop because I know how to use it. lol

Adobe Photoshop.. I've always liked Adobe better.. I have Paint Shop Pro also, but I swear.. Photoshop is much better! I think it's easier.. and it looks prettier too. Paint Shop Pro looks like Paint..

photoshop is so much better then psp!

It depends on the person making the graphic. If you give a newbie a great program like Adobe Photoshop, you can't expect them to magically make a graphic that is amazing.

I started out using PSP, and I love it. I tried switching to PS, but it was just too much for me. PSP has all the features I could possible want, plus it comes with an animation program so I can make animations. I <3 it.

Oh yeah, and you can save images as Optimized GIF's and JPG's (so they have good quality). And it comes with an image mapper generator and an image slicer.

yea i kinda want the animation program.
i could've saved 400 dollars and gotten like 2 in 1

Adobe Photoshop comes with Imageready.. which is what you can use for animation and easy image mapping and slicing and stuff.
