For a Photoshop "equivalent", there is already Photoshop Element (80$) that is cheaper but has much less functionalities.
Of course there is also Gimp (Free), but IMHO it's horrible to use on OSX and not available on the Mac App Store.
If you're looking for a simple and quite powerful software for your money, there is Pixelmator (16$) or Acorn (currently ...

Macupdate Desktop does this for $20/year.
The MacUpdate.com website is the most actively updated website for Mac software that I know of. They often notify me of updates to software before I'm even aware that they are available, even if it is popular software that I use frequently.
The app can be set to automatically run even X hours or days. In addition, ...

This is caused by a Mac AppStore Receipt residing somewhere on your system that was issued for different account. Spotlight is generally of no use in finding these, since it can't go deep enough to find them within the places they are.

It's not an option as far as I know. If it's an app that you purchased previously, you should be able to roll back using Time Machine (you're using Time Machine, right?). You might also have to roll back the settings files in your Library folder if you want your old settings back.

By the way, I'd double-check my assertion about the Mountain Lion ...

When you run App Store and go to Purchases, is OS X Mountain Lion listed at all? If so, what's its status?
If not, it sounds like you'll need to contact Apple Support. When you purchased Mountain Lion, they emailed you a receipt that includes the order id number and date of purchase, so getting this straightened out with them should be easy.
Note: The ...

From Personal Experience: I believe it's the same for everyone. It is the only item in the Mac App Store that doesn't show purchased even though it is purchased, even in UK, however I don't think they would make you pay for it again as it is linked to your account. You could call them and ask them or ask a Genius in store, I would just to be sure you don't ...
