It would be extremely difficult to layout and build a website using PSP.

For photo processing, I definitely recommend PSP or Adobe Photoshop Elements (which is ~$60) and is meant to do only post photo processing.

Good point about Adobe however I am not talking from a web designers point of view. To really be fair you must realize that I am speaking strictly from the point of view of a photographer. Most of us are not web designers and do not have a need for their tools. Now do we want them, well, that is something to consider.

My opinion about Photoshop is just that. My opinion. So I will tell you that for my purposes Photoshop is overpriced. Spend the extra cash you will save on a better lens or a point and shoot with more megapixels/higher optical zoom. You will get more bang for your buck.
