all "levels" the same?

Sorry to post two ?'s in a row, but I didn't want to ask them in the same
post.

I use ACDSee to do quick adjustments to my images (levels, color, curves).
But I use PhotoShop CS for major work.

So, I was wondering - for simple adjustments like levels - is ACDSee the
same quality as PSP?

They certainly act the same and the results seem simular but since PSP is
such a power house I just assume it must have some type of advantage, even
when it comes to simple things like levels.

Anyone know?

If the end result looks the same then there is no advantage. In fact, a
lot can be done with freebies like FastStone. When you need to re-touch,
clone, add fancy effects etc., you need the more full featured editors.
Just a comment, you mention using CS then list PSP. Isn't the latter
Paint Shop Pro. Did you mean to type PS.
