adobe photoshop or corel or paintshop ?

Depends what you're using it for. I've used all 3. I enjoy Corel for graphic design. I like PhotoShop for editing photos, but also PaintShop sometimes because it's so much easier to use.

For working with photos I use Photoshop Elements 3. It is very powerfull and easy to use once you start playing iwth it. It is also affordable for the average user to purchase and get their moneys worth out of it.

no one can beat the adobe photoshop, it is the best imaging software in the world, I love photoshop.

i have used corel draw initially but later shifted to adobe photoshop 9 cs2 and found to be best for me.

adobe photoshop is the best.

I could have sworn that Corel and PaintShop were the same thing, but ..ehhh. I prefer Paint Shop Pro 7, though.

i think its adobe....It is better than corel or paintshop....

I prefer adobe photoshop. I use photoshop cs2 now, it helps me a lot especially in editing photos. Corel is also cool, but it has limitations, it's hard to edit picture image in corel. Corel is best only for drawing and logo designing. While in photoshop, you can draw, design, and edit pictures. You can even design a webpage in photoshop.
