"One of the most difficult things is that I can't figure out how to paste data from the clipboard into PS as a new image. If you use Paste it just pastes it into the current image as a new layer. In PSP you go Edit>Paste>Paste As New Image. Can anyone tell me what the PS way of doing the same thing would be?

Yeah...just select  File > New and it will automatically give the clipboards dimensions.

the select "okay" an then paste.

 

This may seem like and extra step but what is does do is give the option to set the dpi as well as set the background options(Ie White, Black, or Transparent) It create an entirely new file for you that way.

 

Do tell what feature are worse in PhotoShop...there may just be another way of approaching it that is still illusive to you.

 

Again..I'm not familiar with PSP so It'll have to be spelled out to me... I'm curious as to what downgrade you are referring to.
