paint shop pro 8 ?

just i thought i would get a feel for what everyone
thougth of paint shop pro 8, as compared to the more
expensive programs, fw's & photoshop, i have been looking
at theses different programs on the net, but i have to
tell you that they all stress the photo features not too
much in the actual graphic side of things. FW's seems to
be more graphis design, but the price is 3 times more
than paint shop pro, thx for your input in my desicion.

Check out Ulead (cant remember the name of the program itself), Also Adobe Photo Elements is excellent and only about 90 bucks (I just downloaded the 30 day trial...very nice - like a mini-photoshop - only for web work not print)

I have PhotoShop, Illustrator, PhotoImpact and PaintShop
Pro. I uses PSP for most things and PhotImpact for the
cool templates.

I haven't used PSP since it used to be freeware - by templates do you mean ones similar to Photoshop's Image Ready ones?
