It used to be that the cost of photoshop was a barrier for me, it now appears that not only is money an issue, but the bloatware that photoshop has become, is another barrier for me. Sounds like Adobe have followed Microsoft's lead (perhaps even using the latest MS tools) in creating slower, fatter versions of their software. I'm not ready to spend even more money to up my memory along with the cost of the software. So far, PictureWindow Pro is adequate - only costs $90 and runs just fine in 512MB.
