Default Photoshop or Paintshop Pro

I have used Photoshop a lot of times but I am now shifting towards Paintshop Pro because a lot of graphics designer told me about Paintshop Pro features. What do you like to suggest me?

Love to know more and more.

Thanks a lot.

I dont think that would be a great idea as i havn't heard about that software and i think every designer should stick their original hand until good and solid reviews are obtained of the new ones.

You should use the program which works best for you.

Well, I can't really give you an opinion because I have only tried Photoshop, and there's nothing bad I can tell you about it, so if it was for me, I would say stay with Photoshop, but the other program might me better. I don't know. You might as well go ahead and try it first.

I know most people like Photoshop better, but I'm still a PSP fan first. I have both programs, and I like different things about each of them. I think learning is easier on PSP too as it seems to be more user friendly. Adobe Photoshop is more powerful, but Paint Shop Pro is easier.

It's ok to experiment but I think photoshop will continue to own for a long time. Trying out new stuff is fun from time to time, but until now I haven't seen a better graphic design tool than photoshop.

Haven't use pro but you can say that i'm a big fan of photoshop and don't want to try something similar or good, unless, it got something really exicted and great, that's not possible to do with photoshop.

PhotoShop is not really a "graphic design" tool. It is a photo editing tool.

For designing graphics you need to be working with vector tools, so the finished design can be resized without loss of definition.

The Adobe design tool is Illustrator but try InkScape for a free vector tool.

I am having a hard time working with Illustrator anyway. I guess I don't need another vector tool atm. Thanks for sharing it anyway.

Photoshop is used more than Illustrator. That's a fact. For the Web Design view point, only logos are made in Illustrator the rest -> Photoshop :P

I did try Paintshop Pro and I really don't like it. For me, Photoshop is better in every aspect. I'll stick to Photoshop.
