I've been taking photographs for years and still consider myself a beginner. I use Paint shop pro since an old version came free with my camera and when I got a bit more accustomed to digital I updated to X2 ultimate. I did try Elements for a while but in the version I tried some pretty basic things were missing like curves on their own adjustment layer. Aftter 2 years with Paint Shop Pro I'm still really only scratching the surface of the programme and don't know how on earth I would ever be able to manage Photoshop which everyone says has a much steeper learning curve. My advice to you would be to invest your money in glass and focus your energies on learning to use the camera rather than learning PP
