I could not do anything I do without Photoshop. Simple as that. I've been using it since V3, and couldn't imagine working without it, though I also have PSP, Art Rage, Painter, Coreldraw and Photopaint. But Photoshop, well, if I said I have the program open every day, it would be an understatement. Even working in 3d max, I often have photoshop open at the same time so as to be able to adjust textures on the fly. It's an absolute necessity for me.

Talent is God's gift to you. Using it is your gift to God.
