i still don't understand Dave's comments since neither PSP 7 nor Photoshop include any nosie reduction tools at all unless you call Gaussian Blur such a tool.
as for display for reduced size images, i find PSP one of the worst programs out there. all of the Photoshop versions do it better on all of my systems.
Photoshop Elements does full color management, even version 1.0, but it doesn't bother explaining how to do it much. first, you have to run Adobe Gamma from Control Panel to set up your monitor properly, but it's very hard to do unless you know your monitor phosphor, white point, and color temperature setup. assuming you can get past that, then you have to use a color management dialog that is barely explained. however, this is better than PSP since it doesn't even bother telling you that you need to do this before you can enable color management and assumes that the monitor is already calibrated anyway.

Subject: RE: Grain Surgery for PS
I find Photoshop really poor at displaying images on screen too. When not viewing at 1:1 magnification you get REALLY bad Jaggies all over the place whereas PSP is fantastic.
I just this last weekend has another go with Elements 2.0 because I REALLY want to get somewhere with using colour profiles etc, but I just couldn't make head nor tail of how to do this in Elements - do you need full CS to do it properly?
From what I can deduce, I think David's preference for PSP is that the
tools for grain reduction are perhaps better than his version of
Photoshop. Personally I only look at grain reduction when scanning and
then use the ICE/ROC/GEM built into the Nikon Scanning interface because
it is partly hardware based.
