IMO You get what you pay for... Never have been a fan of PSP. I remember when it first came out. Thumbs down...I am Photoshop all the way. Guess I like the challenge. I have been checking out Micrografix Picture Publisher recently and cannot give a good enough review of that one yet. So far so good though...

I use Photoshop at work, but at home since I'm poor I use The Gimp. It's free (under the GNU GPL license), and it's basically photoshop (but of course PS is nicer).

I agree you get what you pay for, and if you are a graphic artist then by all means you should get PS, it is the best....but PSP is probably a not so far second. If you haven't tried it since the first couple of versions (1-4 sucked @$$), you should consider it. PSP really became a very good program since version 5. I haven't used Micrografix, but have heard good things about it. I plan on D'loading the new version of PSP and seeing what it can do, I haven't tried it yet, but with each new version they are getting closer and closer to PS.

Well when PS 7 is 6X more expensive than PSP I dont think PS 7 is 6X better than PSP.

I have not used PSP but I will try it later. I know PS Elements is even a bit difficult to work with.

True, true... I do have to say for hisc1ay,, GO GIMP!!! I used it when I was into the LINUX thing... Great program and way versatile...I admit I did not like PSP up until 6.0...I should have made my self clearer...I prefer PS over all however, PSP after 6 has simular options to that of PS for less $...If you are interested, If I am not mistaken, you can use all plug-ins for PS in PSP...
