Which version of Photoshop were you using earlier?

I *think* Photoshop elements might be something for you, it's relatively cheaper.

There is nothing comparable to photoshop on the market that has the same capabilities and layout that I know of. I believe you can get a photoshop CS4 trial for free. I do not remember the layout of PS7 but I know that the basics have stayed the same. It all depends on what your are doing. If you do not need all of photoshops capabilities, a corel product might be sufficient.

I have a bunch of PS actions that create Ecovers, boxes, CDs, etc. I want to run my actions.
