Is photoshop worth the price?

I Just figured someone on here would have an answer for me on this!

Is Adobe Photo shop that good, used Gimp, but after buying my camera, I bought Corel Paint shop pro Photo X, was using Corel for a drawing program, It seemed to help as far as knowing how everything was laid out, one of the guys here has photoshop cs4 it as far as i can see I can do all the same things with corel. So where is the plus of buying Photoshop?

I've never used anything but Photoshop so I can't really do a comparison.

Your best bet is to run over to adobe.com and download CS4 and try it for yourself.

I think it depends on how serious you are. There are other programs that I think do the simple things a little easier. But if you are looking for room to move and lots of stuff to learn, PS is your man. Be ready to spend some time to learn it.

I don't know much about Corel, but one of the cool things about PS is all the stuff that you can find to add on. Brushes, Patterns, Filters, etc. I don't know if Corel has all of that or not. I am pretty sure that PS is still the defacto, so it would naturally have a larger fanbase creating stuff for it.

I have found out that i can do just about everything with Corel, but I did do the trial version of Lightroom 2.3, I have to admit I kind of like it. I just have one question
I am going to be buying a Mac when I get back to the States, (Apple doesn't like to ship to APO addresses) I know you can up to load Lightroom on up to two computers, But not sure if you can do that and have two different OS's.

If you don't want to pay for PhotoShop, or can't afford it, check out [url]pixlr.com[/url]. Pixlr is a flash based website (you can also download their image editor), that lets you edit images online, with a lot of the functionality of advanced graphic editing software (PhotoShop, Corel, PaintShopPro, etc...)

I'll have to remember that when I go to edit photos at my friend's and relatives. I always get ticked trying to use Paint. I'd think Microsoft would make that program usable one of these days.
