I know this is an old topic, but it is new to me as I am reading it for the first time. I use both Photoshop and PSP, but for different reasons. Although Photoshop is by FAR the better program (thus the higher cost), PSP has one feature (that makes it worth the cost of having both) that Photoshop doesn't have and that is the ability to capture. You can capture an image, area, window, object, etc., with much greater clarity and resolution than a typical Window's "Print Screen" function. Of course, you may not need this functionality, but if you do, catch the images you need in PSP and then edit them with Photoshop. I write manuals, online help, etc., for a software company, so I use this feature often. Now that I think about it, I don't use it that often for my art, but it's nice to have when I need it...
