Personally I find it difficult to justify the expense of Photoshop CS. It does not have enough extra to justify five times the cost of PSP in the parts I use. As a hobby photographer I would not use PS to the full potential of the programme. The one advantage I see that it does have is the photo-journals and magazines almost exclusively use it in their articles/tutorials. There was a thread short time ago that covered a similar subject to this and gave a link to web site comparing PS CS, PS Elements, and PSP. The article was written before 16 bit was available in PS CS and PSP9 but since now both are capable of 16 bit work I think the article is still quite valid. I have included a link if you want to take a look. Richard

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
