Learning curve, ho! After months of telling myself that I didn't need Photoshop, that Paint Shop Pro is just as good.... I finally broke down yesterday and whipped out my Visa. Fifteen minutes with the "trial" version—doing stuff that took me days to learn in PSP—did the trick.

I'm now overwhelmed with widgets and pallettes and swatches, oh my. Cool, but you won't see me for a few weeks. I'll be in the corner looking confused.
