Differences between Photoshop Elements 2.0 (PSE2) and Paint Shop Pro
8.0 (PSP8)

Folks,

I've been using both of these programs the last few months. I'm more
at home with PSE2 but have found the some of the features like the
quick fix in PSP8 useful, I also like the histogram adjustment in PSP8
(especially the curve bender for compression).

I miss not having my PS plugins in PSP8 and the layers manipulations
in PSP8 frustrate me (from the PS perspective).

I know my usage hasn't covered all the "features" so I'm wondering if
there are users of either program who feel like some of the features
in one of these programs is a deal maker when trying to choose between
the two.

Thanks for your input.

Regards,
Roger

Like you, I was confronted with the same decision.  I had Photoshop Elements
2.0, that came with my camera, and later, I bought Paint Shop Pro 8.10,
on-line.

I originally went the Jasc's web site, to buy their Paint Shop Photo Album,
because I thought Adobe's album program was a joke.  Buying Paint Shop Pro,
was an impulse buy (at the time), but turned out to be my favorite of the
two.  So I now use Jasc's Paint Shop Pro, and Paint Shop Photo Album,
exclusively!

Adobe's not all it's cracked up to be.  It was good in it's day, but newer
designed photo editors, are much easier to use.  The new Photoshop CS is
full of problems, and shortcomings.  This is not my opinion, as I do not own
it, but what I read every day, in their own newsgroups.  But still, there is
this "Professional" stigma, that goes along with using Adobe Photoshop, so
people continue to buy it...or more often, boot-leg it, as it's so damned
expensive!

Uni-

I'd like to be able to extend a "kind word" to you and  say that you have
some redeeming qualities - but you don't!!!!  You are just the total
"Loser".   It's no wonder you hang out here around the clock posting your
"nuisance posts". --- You have no job, no friends, no respect. - Heck even
your mom hates you!!!  You are the "loser of all losers!!!

You've worked hard to earn your reputation as  "twerp", "jerk", "moron",
"punk"  and "loser" / aka FakeArtistMike.  And now you ask us to give you a
kind thought?  Please.....!    Get a life while you still have time or do as
Chuck above recommended and visit  http://www.mymiserablelife.com/.

Best regards,

One thought...your PS plugins should work in PSP.

Just drag 'em and drop 'em from PS plugins folder to PSP plugins folder..

Not necessary, just go to File>Preferences>File locations and add the
path to your PS plugins directory.
