I have a few different kinds of software right now but I'm looking for something close to the power of Photoshop but that is much easier to use.
So if anyone has used Paint Shop Pro, please let me know if it's worth the $99.
Thanks!

I have. Many great features similar to photoshop, and easy to use. It may be a bit hard at first, but it gets to be like riding a bike. You know where to find everything you need, etc. Overall, I think for a program like this, it's worth the money.

PSP is easier to use, but it's also more limited once you get good at it than Photoshop. Personally of the two I think you'd be better off putting the time in to learn you way around Photoshop, as once you do it's power and flexibility is almost limitless. I used Paint Shop Pro for years back in the day, but Photoshop just runs rings around it, it really does. I avoided the jump for a long time, but in the end it really is worth it. All that said, it really does depend on what you're using it for, and how complex you intend to get with things. If you only need the basic functionality and aren't looking to get too hard and deep into certain areas then PSP would be more than suitable. Still, if that was the case and you just wanted something to fill standard image manip type requirements I'd personally recommend you go and check out Gimp - It's an opensource Photoshop/PSP clone, but the best part is it's free, and as such is a great tool to learn on or to use for basic to mid level tasks. And not only is it free, it's available for both Windows and Mac (as well as Linux/Unix). Check out the link for more details. Hope that helps. Sev.
