I normally use Paint Shop Pro (normally version 9, but I'll use X4 if I absolutely have to--even though I don't care for it much) for 2D stuff.  I'm trying to learn to cope with Photoshop Elements because I became a Photoshop brush addict somewhere along the way. I'm tired of using work-arounds to get them to work in PSP (PSP 9 has a brush size limit of 500 pixels and X4 has one--999 pixels--I  believe). I'm tired of exporting the brushes as PNGs with a converter and colorizing them and using them as overlays or saving them as PSP tubes... Just doesn't give enough control, at times. So, I decided to give Photoshop Elements a try. It's been... interesting... There are some things i really like more about Paint Shop, to be honest.  However, Element's brush size limit of 2500 pixels is a lote more reasonable.  Here's my first pic where I did most of my painted postwork in Elements.  Yes, it's supposed to kind of resemble a grade-schooler valentine...

Any way... I started a blog about my experiences with Photoshop Elements.  I figured it might help me stay motivated learning the program to write about it.

Wishing you luck :) I picked up the photoshop, but stepping over from PSP is huge step .. First I have to learn to use interface before starting to uncover the tools :)
