Re: Graphics packages?

I want a package purely for web graphics. Making and editing. I am in the
printing industry but have never used photoshop. But I am aware that it is a
serious tool. I just really want to know if it is worth spending  the
serious cash on it if most of the stuff is irrelevant for my purposes. Paint
Shop Pro seems like a cheaper option and seems pretty good but how
restrictive is it?
Thanks again.
