This thread is asking a specific question:
Between Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop, which is the superior graphics application? The end result is directly related to the user and the user's experience. We aren't talking about each individual's specific experience with any specific program, but we are talking about specific applications.
If that was the case, one could submit that a highly-trained expert in mspaint can produce better work than someone who is less skilled and is using Photoshop. Does that make mspaint a superior application to Photoshop? I don't think so. User skill cannot be taken into consideration when the question is asked, because the moment it is introduced the question becomes subjective and heavily vague. The end-result is what matters but that is irrelovent to an application's inherent features, precision, stability, utility and versitility.
Moral of the post:
When you're wondering to yourself "What is the best tool I can use for what I'm doing?" it IS what you use to get to the end result that counts, because it will often tell you lots about the tool you're using! :]
