packages?

Photoshop supports editing in CMYK, Lab, and other color spaces; PSP
does not.

Photoshop supports spot color; PSP does not.

Photoshop allows for more sophisticated color correction, including
selective color correction.

Photoshop has a far superior color separation engine.

There are many, many other differences as well. Most of these
differences are interesting primarily to those who do retouching and
color correction professionally, particularly for print, and are
completely invisible to amateur or casual users.

Paint Shop Pro is not really designed to compete directly with
Photoshop; it's better to compare it to a program like Photoshop
Elements, which is also aimed at the casual/hobbyist market.
