Photoshop is NOT worth the outrageous expense IMHO. You can get a comparative graphic program that can do 90% of what PS can do at 1/10th the price. Those that spend the 1K or 1.5K on PS are buying it because of the name.

My nephew does computerized graphics for a living and has done contract work for some Hollywood movie studios and he tells me that PSP is excellent value for a very low price, and while he uses Photoshop because that's what his company provided him with, he still uses PSP more than 50% of the time just because it's easier, more streamlined and gives him the same results in the end. That's his opinion, but I'm sure there are die hard PS users that will refute that.

It's simply a matter of choice. The way I figure it though. If I can spend $100 on a program that does the same thing as a $1,000.00 one, why would I want to?

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
