I switched from PSP to Photoshop back when PS was on version CS2, so a VERY long time ago. At the time it took me a few days to get the hang of it and I never looked back. With that said, I'd only been working PSP for less than 2 years. If you've been using it for 17 years, it might naturally take a little longer. I agree with KCB, maybe use a trial version and see what you think. IMO, Photoshop is far superior feature-wise (but obviously more expensive) and has come a long way since my transition. It takes some discipline when you decide to transition to persevere through the learning curve, but it's actually quicker than you think. I use Lightroom for almost every photo I use, so I love having the bundle. Good luck!
