I have both PhotonPaint2 and DigiPaint3. Ther I some things I like better 
on each. I like the user interface better on DigiPaint. Because of this I
tend to use it more than PhotonPaint2. PhotonPaint2 has a built in anim
capability. The ability to set the blend curve to any arbitrary manner
across the blend area is nice in PhotonPaint2. DigiPaint only allows setting
the hot spot and the edge levels and wether edge level applies both
horizontally and vertically or either. 

DigiPaint has a colorize mode wherein one can rather and 
rather well easily colorize grey tone images.
It also a good range of colors setup. You can select a range of colors
between any two and they use the density settings of the blend tool.
This allows one to fill an area with colors between the two ranges. It
is relatively easy to do do things like sunset with it. I am not sure about
the capability of PhotonPaint2 in these areas. As I said I tend to use 
DigPaint more because of the user interface. I think DigiPaint is faster
but I could be wrong on this. DigiPaint I believe is somewhat less 
expensive.

You can't go wrong on either program.
