I love psp 9. I use it for almost all editing options. I use the ps 7 "save to web", a few of the filters, and for layering. I don't know about "unsharp mask" and i haven't figured out layering in psp yet lol. So many tools - so little knowledge. If i ever learn more than basics, i will probably be dangerous and have to be committed. I have had Adode Illustrator 7 thru 9 for 4 years and can't do more than open it lol. Lee
