I use Paintshop Pro. Today it costs $60 for a full version. The full version of the equivalent Photoshop package costs $700 - and I have yet to find anything it can do that Paintshop Pro can't. There are a couple of things it does more easily, and there are actions available for Photoshop which are not available for Paintshop Pro (just because of the wider population creating them) - but noting worth paying 10x more.

(I do extensive post processing - retouching which includes removal of medical tubes, skin tears, rebuilding missing portions of images, and photo restoration - so I am an extremely heavy user of the electronic darkroom)
