I have used psp for many years, like many fans was a little dissappointed when corel took over.Version 10 was ok but did not work on vista, 11 I passed on. x2 or 12 is very nice. The very best thing about it, that makes it better than pshop elements is the simplicity and elegance of design . With Pshop you got to decide organize or edit? , well both! they feel like 2 very large programs that you switch between. PSp has one interface, it will collect and organize but most of the time you want to select some photos from folder to work on. Just one program open, organizer as tray or seperate window for collections and photobin tray for ones to keep handy they will pop out of view when editing then one click brings the bin back or leave visible as a tray. Whats better about photoshop? better filters and some effects and process3es are ddeeper morwe sophisticated, Guess what you know you want both, don't they always do that , one program is better at most things but you need the other one to.
