Thanks to all that replied. The info you provided is just what I needed to
make a decision. As always, the info I get here is well worth the price of
admission.  ;^)

I own licensed versions of both PaintShop Pro (hereinafter PSP) and
Photoshop 7 (hereinafter PS7).  Both PSP and PS7 have more functionality
than most users would ever need, but they also have different strengths and
weaknesses.  From a purely pragmatic "average user" perspective, PSP is more
than enough, and it's relatively inexpensive.  I've found PS7's
interpolation algorithms to be generally superior to PSP, but for both
programs, if you *really* need to do some fancy stuff with image
interpolation/manipulation, you'd probably end up buying a third-party
plugin in any event.  PS7 established the "standard" for image-editing
plugins, and PSP follows it, so if it's available for PS7, it'll probably
work "out of the box" for PSP.

In short, knowing what I do now and if I didn't have specific need for some
of the industrial-strength capabilities of PS7, I'd go buy PSP.
Nevertheless, it's nice having them both. ;-)
