Adobe Photoshop

Post by hellawaits77 »

Anyone have experience w/ Photoshop? I wanna get a copy, preferably not new. Not gonna pay all that $. Are Photoshop 6.0 + 7.0 worth buying?

I've used it quite a bit,mainly for designing DVD covers.It's a great program and if you are willing to put the time in,you can come up with some great stuff.
There are loads of tutorial sites on the WWW,which is how i learned to use it.If you're gonna get good use out of it,i'd say go ahead and buy it.

hi,
well ive used photoshop for years and i currently use version 7 and the complete master suite cs3.
version 7 is great, lots of features and also come with image ready for animation. with time and effort youll get some cool results,
there are plenty of great tutorial sites to get you started and i know some killer ones as well.

as for cs3 master suite it def has far more options and all the adobe apps are included in the suite but cs4 is now available also. its a bif of a resource hog tho but if you have a pretty good setup on your pc it should be ok
cs3 apps are
Adobe InDesign CS3 for professional page design
Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended for new dimensions in digital imaging
Adobe Illustrator CS3 for powerful vector graphics creation
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional for Adobe PDF creation and collaboration
Adobe Flash CS3 Professional for creating rich interactive content
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 for developing standards-based websites and applications
Adobe Fireworks CS3 for web prototyping and designing
Adobe Contribute CS3 for updating websites and blogs
Adobe After Effects CS3 Professional for industry-standard motion graphics and visual effects
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 for capturing, editing, and delivering video
Adobe Encore CS3 for preparing DVD titles
Adobe Soundbooth CS3 for creating and editing audio quickly and intuitively

so if your not going to use all the apps in cs3 then version 7 will be fine for you.

Image Ready was incorporated into CS3 and great animations can be made much easier just using cs3.

Just made this sig using Gimp 2.6.Not the best i've ever made,am more used to PS,but don't have a copy of that any more.
This only has 5 layers,and not much else.Will take time to get the hang of it,but hey..it's a free program so you can't really knock it!
