I have both Adobe and Jasc. Jasc Paint Shop Pro also comes with Animation Shop? which I use to make my gifs and animations, like flashing avitars.


Paint Shop Pro has very good elements, like the blinds effect which I absolutely LOVE (have it on my site) the sunburst effect which sprays a big bolt of sun and rays in whichever photo you want. Paint Shop Pro also has a LOT MORE brushes you can download, and masks as well.


If your into web design PSP is good at that also. It has an image map maker, which I use...yes I like to cheat lol. Face it, it's a pain in the but trying to figure out points yourself. If anyone has any PSP ?'s fire away.
