No David Pixinsight isn't photoshop. It is supposedly made for astro imaging. It is a very complex program that is only supported by very basic tutorials which don't cover a poofteenth of the controls available in the package. The tutorials only cover the basic use of the some of the controls and processes.
At least the photoshop help system gives a wide breakdown of it's controls and processes.
Like it or not, Pixinsight has been sold as a super package and it may well be but until it has a decent user manual which spells out all control commands etc. it will still lag misserably behind Photoshop.
It is great to have a program that is well supported by the manufacturer, has reasonable literature with it and as a plus has people writing very detailed tutorials on it's use. For me Pixinsight was a total waste of my money until it can provide detailed support like photoshop.
PS. A forum doesn't constitute detailed support either.
Sorry I'm not as enthusiastic about it as you are but so far what I have seen just doesn't do it for me. Photoshop is still industry standard and I'm sure Pixinsight uses many of the base control used in photoshop.
