Quote - Actually Photoshop is only $600. Coldrake

Not in Canada. I just checked at amazon.ca  and Photoshop CS3 is CDN$ 757.99 plus taxes.  That's considerably higher than PSP is.

I have CS2 and lucked out that my nephew was able to get me a copy with his discount through his job as a programmer/graphic designer. If it weren't for that I wouldn't have been able to afford to ever buy Photoshop.  Spending $760.00 on one program is not in my budget!

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
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
