ive used psp for a few years now, and its never crashed on me. Im not sure if thats due to the program or my computer tho???

Pretty much anything you can do in photoshop, you can do in psp. Commands are just different. Paintshop pro is perfectly capable of creating scrapbook pages and editing photos. The only problem is that most designers create stuff for photoshop rather than paintshop pro. SO if your wanting to use photo editing actions, they arent going to work. Text paths wont work either. PSP can open PSD files tho, so your good to use templates, and obviously, normal papers and elements will all open no probs.

If you do end up with psp, theres a great script which has been linked to in previous threads (just use the search box to search threads relating to psp), that makes scrapping with Psp so much easier. Its free, so definately download that one!

HTH!
