Im still on v 7.0, i tried CS, but found 7 easier (Probably cuz ive been using for quite a while ) to use, also i dont use those advanced new features in CS a lot/never.

Try the trial see how you like it.

It's Jasc Paint Shop Pro (latest version is 9) (Jasc is now owned by Corel as well for interest sakes), i have always used this and find it alot easier to use than Photoshop, but i guess thats probably me being biased, but yes it is a good piece of software and a very good competitor to Photoshop..

Imo ... Adobe Photoshop 9 CS2 Is the best tho im still stuck on adobe photoshop 8 cs (I have all versions from 5 to 8 )

I have used animation shop pro in the past and found that to be a very good piece of software. which is why JASC was a particular interest to me.

to be really honest, it's not the software that matter the most.. most of them do the job pretty well... the most important bit is knowing how to use the tools you have effectively.

at the moment I use adobe photoshop cs2 but i used to use JASC paint shop pro and that was pretty good too. With any software, you just have to get used to it and become familiar with the tools it has as well as the layout.

so true. Many many people used to tell me that the GIMP was terrible when I said I had made things in it, but it wasn't at all. Most of them hadn't tried it, or simply didn't understand it.

I would go for the latest version, but perhaps get the trial first. It is good once you get used to it.

well, i know most digital artists use photoshop 7 and CS (old version), i use photoshop 7 myself and it is very good, i wanted to go on CS but i didnt because someone said it was little weird so i didnt

but what do u want to do with photoshop?
do u want to do siggies and avis or digitally paint?
if u want to paint digitally get a tablet (wacom intous 2) because painting with a mouse, well it takes a long time to get used to
