what do you use?

Paint Shop Pro 9 and Animation Shop 3. I know, I know; lame.

No way, man. It's cool. Well, I'm using Paint Shop Pro 7. xD Is PP9 better than PP7? I'm hesitant, because my Mom actually bought me PP9 for Christmas, but I love PP7.

I would say so, but [but don't take my word for it.] :| The lame link to save me speech aside, I really do like PSP9. It's more powerful and versatile than its previous incarnations, with an wider selection of tools, the ability to raw import from your digital camera, improved interface, etc.

Of course, you could always either install 9, keep 7, and see what you prefer.

From the trial versions I've seen, the psp versions after 7 are disgusting. or at least I think so.

It's not the "usual" medium unless you're doing serious graphic design work. The only reason I upgraded to CS2 was for Adobe Bridge and also because a lot of the scripts and actions I use require CS2 to execute. Otherwise, I would have been happy to stick with 7.0.
