I know that skills learned in PaintShop Pro were transferable to Gimp.
Then I learned layers in Gimp, and I'm sure that would be transferable
back to the newer versions of PSP, as well as PhotoShop.

I just don't have $$ for Photoshop, nor a Windows machine to run it on.

Hell, I use Gimp on WinXP at work for doing graphics for cellphone games.
(Of course, you don't really need Photoshop for that.  You need a simple
sprite-editor.  No reason to pay $100s and $100s for that functionality!)
