Okay - howzabout I rephrase it to say "90% of normal human beings' use of Photoshop's capabilities" ?

Obviously someone who makes a living with Photoshop knows what they need, and that Pixelmator likely doesn't have it (yet).

I constantly come across people who "need" a certain bit of software just because "everyone else" has it. Like a person for whom I do occasional support... called me to do something (like, "right click"... that's the level we're talking about here) and they had purchased Adobe CS6... which they thought they needed to be able to read PDFs. Seriously. Once they discovered that they'd also purchased Photoshop, then it became a never-ending series of tutorials on how to do (x) or (y) in Photoshop...

That may be an acceptable post... but 90% of "normal" human beings don't need Photoshop in the first place thus the content of your first post was moot, wrong and just plain bad information for the uninitiated.

Though the name sucks, GIMP does much of what Photoshop does... and it's free. Maybe not as nice an interface, but so what. Plus, now it's OS X native... finally. A simple install and yer done.

Glad you got your order Lawrence... learn well and have lots of fun... don't be pressured by your friends... take the time you need...

On the other hand if these friends are willing to pay you for your knowledge then treat the tutorials like a job/being at school and get up to speed as fast as possible to make some extra deniros to help pay for your cruises.

I've been tempted by PS Elements and can't decide between Lightroom and Aperture or whether I want or need either.

Maybe I will try a 30 day download of Elements and go from there now I have all these travel shot from the North Atlantic trip.
