Yep most use PShop but that doesn't mean that we are a Pshop site only - I have a saying you use the right tools for the job
Myself I use the following
PSP - mainly for tubes and effects
PShop - just cos I do
XNview - in my view one of the best batch processing engines
C4D - for 3D stuff
FastStone for image capture
Plus load of Utils
There is a section here where member recommendations have and will be posted so have a look and you might find something new and useful
