I used V8 for a long time at work, and V9 at home.  I just recently got the 
latest Pro Photo X2 from Corel ... and really, I don't see any big 
differences, apart from nicer eye candy.  The functionality is still all 
there, the menus are almost identical, a few additional tools and better 
designed older tools, but essentially 95% the same program.

So I'd agree with Gail and Warp, go get a cheap copy of PSP 8 or 9 and give 
that a whirl - it has most of the features that a non-Pro uses in Photoshop 
anyway.
