My friends in the graphic arts community, some of whom are experts in these particular applications, rank Photoshop Elements higher than Paint Shop Pro for beginning photo enthusiasts. I think they find the auto-correction tools in Elements to be a nifty thing. I use an old version of Paint Shop (v 5) because it's paid for and it does the few little things I need, but considering they are about the same price I'd buy Elements if I were making the choice today.

Photoshop is clearly the hands-down winner for overall functionality but, frankly, is way overkill for the beginner.

WHICH APP TO USE? Sticking my toe in the digital photography pool, I hear about three applications for photo editing:

Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop Elements

JASC Paint Shop Pro
