For now i use Paint Shop Pro (ver 8) to correct or modify my photos. But i
wonder, is Adobe's Photoshop better for this job? Does anyone has any
experience? I mean stuff like correcting brightness, saturation, etc. And
does anyone have any noise removal tool? (For removing noise in lowlight
shot photos)

Another alternative you may want to try is Gimp. It's cross paltform, free,
very stable and has an excellent collection of filters. It's at:
http://www.gimp.org/

If you're dinkum, PhotoShop's a LOT more expensive. But grab the trial
and see for yourself! Nobody else can tell you the truth about this.

http://www.gimp.org/windows/
tells you:

Getting and Installing the GIMP

This site, www.gimp.org, only distributes the source code to the GIMP
(the building blocks). You can download executable versions from the
following site:

* Jernej Simoncic ( http://www2.arnes.si/~sopjsimo/gimp/ )provides
an installer program that automates the installation process. This is
the most convenient way to install the GIMP for Windows.

The stable version is at
http://www2.arnes.si/~sopjsimo/gimp/stable.html and you need to
download both the GIMP toolkit as well as the GIMP - just like it
says. No compiling required.

Stick with PSP. I've used both, and I prefer PSP over Photoshop. It seems
easier to use, it starts up faster, and I haven't found anything missing
from it.

I also use GIMP on Linux (it comes precompiled). It's very powerful too,
but I'm not as familiar with its menus so I sometimes get lost.

I didn't compile. I just read info about installing on official site and
they say it's more than 300.000 lines to compile which takes more than 30
minutes. But the main problem is compiling - i don't have C compiler, and if
i install that installer from arnes.si...it doesn't help me nothing.
I'm missing something here...maybe a compiled program....

A textile image processing suite I authored and maintained took about
45 minutes for a full build.

I have both PSP v7 and Photoshop Elements v2.

Adobe product start so slooowwwwww. I get mad at it before its running.
once its going its OK.
Adobe does somethings better than PSP. I think PSP is easier to use.

The only pics that I commonly need to touch up are panoramics...

PSP has the fasted graphics browser I've used. It's a great programme. But
Phtotoshop Elements, much cheaper than PhotoShopPro, has the best 'Enhance'
mode I've used. So, heck, I use PSP v 5.0 for pic file browsing, and
Photoshop elemsents for enhancing etc.The latter is really a cut-down
version of PhototoShop pro, but without all the bells and whisltes that
amateurs just don't use anyway.

I don't use PSP for browsing, i just need a good program with filters for
photos, like BW correction, color, contrast ...correction. I don't need
those for all photos, just some come out not so good and need to be
corrected. I think PSP (especially V8) has some very good photo filters. I
just wonder if Photoshop has better ones...
I guess i will grab a trial and check it out.

When I refer to browsing, I do in the context of searching through pic
folders for the one that you want. Heck, when you've downloaded a couple of
hundred form the digital cam, it takes quite some time for Photoshop
Elements to 'browse' the folder, and rather clumsy too. PSP is super, find
the pic very quickly and do with it what you want.

Photoshop wins hands down on features, including the ability in PS CS to
remove digital noise, but the price tag is substantially higher - roughly
$500 US difference between the two products. Enough to get a very nice
digital camera. If your budget is limited, I wouldn't have much problem
making that choice.

Support is more open and responsive from PSP as well - for example PSP folks
actively participate in the news groups and respond helpfully and
courteously to questions.

If you can afford it, though, Photoshop is still king, and most if not all
of your support questions can be handled in alt.graphics.photoshop, if you
don't mind getting flamed now and them.

Even though I use photoshop 8 to 10 hours a day do not leave corel out of
the mix photo paint is much less expensive and very very powerful software.
My customers seem to think name is everything so for me paintshop is what I
send off to the printers.
