Sometimes, but I tend to use photopaint for most of my painting and touching up
jobs. That's not to say that I don't think PSP is capable of doing just about
anything - factoring the price gap between it and the competition, I think it's
the better app for most people.

What is "PhotoPaint", or rather who makes it?
Re price gap: when I was evaluating packages, I had a specific set of tasks
to accomplish. One was removing glare from a scanned photo. Nothing else
could touch Photoshop, as PSP didn't have variable density selections. That
is, a pixel can be partially selected, and it made short work of doing a
gradiated adjustment. Now I'm hooked on layers. I'm sure PSP and others
have evolved too, but at the time Photoshop was =far= ahead.

Corel. It's included in their Draw package and is also available by itself.

Yup. PSP added layer support back in version 5.00 (with a large
complement of blending options) I have to agree, it's addictively
useful stuff. I now can't remember how I even made use of
anything that didn't have it ("Anything less... is a mouse driver
demo..."). The latest innovation (6) is now boasting enchanced
layers support (haven't checked what that means yet), and vector
graphic support as it's biggest improvements. The gap's gotten
narrower <g>.

You too can have psp 6.0 for the low upgrade price of $49 US dollars.
As a registered user you get this and Animation Shop 2.0 shipped to your
door by the US postal service.
I know, that is what I paid for mine. And I upgraded from psp 4.14

I was able to get PSP 5.01 (then patched it up to v5.03 online) for an
incredible 50$ approximately. PC Save was the online software store.
I've seen that too about the 49$ upgrade, been waiting to see how much
PC Save or other place wants for PSP 6.0.

Well, as a couple people mentioned, there's a special for v5 users
of the same as you got 4.0 ($49), which, according to the card they
sent is supposed to be $60 off the JASC recommended price. If you
don't get that card, email 'em and grumble a little. They'll probably
extend the deal to all previous users ... I know when I upgraded
to 5, I hadn't previously upgraded since version 3 and I still got
the cheapy upgrade offer for that just the same.
