Do you have a price point, or are you ambitious to learn complicated software? Do you want to do awesome brushwork, or make realistic page elements?
PS does everything, but it's a hefty price and can be a monster to learn
PSP does great brushwork, and beats the pants of PS in making patterns and customizing the workspace. Limited presets like custom shapes and brushes available. Makes great elements, but more time consuming and less editable than PS/PSE elements. Not quite as hard as PS, but not easy like DIP
PSE is a great price, does great elements, but cruddy brush options. GRant's Tools or the Hidden Power of Elements makes it almost as good as PS, but the brushes still bite, LOL! Lots of presets available, lots of brushes too, great brushes, but the OPTIONS are horrible. PS has better brushes, so does PSP by far. Slightly easier to learn than PS or PSP, but not nearly as easy as DIP
Does this help you in deciding? Any more questions or ideas on what you'd like to do?
