Steve, we got Photoshop Elements 2.0 when we bought our Wacom tablet. it came with it in the package. We also have PSP7, which Kemal and I both use. kemal said he found PSP more user-friendly, but he think they have less powerful brushes than Photoshop. He also says Photoshop's cloning tool is better than PSP. i've never used PS either Steve, but kemal has and says he prefers PSP. I will stick with PSP because i need user-friendly stuff! i guess it's all about taste and what you want.
