No, of course not, no more than a new model Ford is a free
upgrade for an old one going back two model versions.

It's not the same as Photo Album. You missed the Digital Camera
Noise Removal filter and the Chromatic Aberration filters, both
of which are very useful to people fixing photos. You missed
the Background Eraser (in PSP 8), which makes cutting objects
from photos or changing backgrounds easy. You missed the warp
tools (in PSP 8), which can change a frown into a smile. You
missed the Straighten and Perspective tools (in PSP 8), which
respectively straighten a crooked photo and correct perspective
distortion. You missed the lens correction filters (in PSP 8),
which correct pincushion, barrel and fisheye distortion. PSP 9
has luminance-only sharpening, which lets you sharpen without
unnecessarily increasing noise. PSP 9 has an improved edge
finding filter, which allows you to make better edge masks
for sharpening your images. PSP 8 has a Soft Focus filter that
allows you to replicate soft focus camera filters used in
portraiture after the fact. All of these are tools for
photographers. There's a whole bunch of new effects and paint
tools but you probably don't care about those.

I don't know what Mr. Urchin is talking about, but when I bought PSP 5, 7,
and 8, they all came with manuals in the box. I didn't buy them at Best
Buy, but the boxed price there was always around $80.
