Hi Joseph

You didn't say what you use PSP for.

If you're editing photos, then PSP or PS may be a better bet. XPE has photo editing tools for quick & easy fixes, but anything more than that requires additional tools.

If you're, say, making screen captures of software and replacing text in them, you have to use something like PSP. PS is overkill, and it may not allow you to match the text anyway.

If you're doing just about anything else -- including web graphics, which are often done in raster apps -- Xtreme may very well do exactly what you need. Plus, it's much faster, more intuitive and often requires fewer steps. You will have to adjust your thinking, but with Xtreme that can happen fairly quickly. (Besides, working with Xtreme is such a pleasure you may find it hard to go back to what you were doing before.)
