Why not just get Photoshop Elements? You can get it for less than $100
and a rebate for a myriad of other programs you may already own.  All
that is missing is some higher end prepress stuff, and you get a lot of
added imaging stuff added in that the current full version of PS does
not have.

Again, it comes down to paying $2k for a M7 or a similar amount for
Leica glass.  They are all tools that are worth if you are serious about
what you are doing.  Also, keep in mind that the biggest market for
Photoshop is the commercial world that considers Photoshop to be a
bargain at twice the price, considering what they can do with it.

amount
> they do--unmitigated greed. 

And some say the same about fine art prints.  Of course, that claim is
usually made by people who don't understand what it takes to produce a
product such as that.

Of course, I work at Adobe, so I'm a bit biased.
