Oh. My. ----ing. God.

I know everyone loves my creative thread titles. But anyway the point of the thread.

I've been useing a old version of photoshop. ps 7 to be exact.

And tonight I have finally upgraded to ps cs 2.

You would not believe what a pain in the ass this was to do. First I got windows errors because there were files missing in my windows. So I had to google them and get all the fixes. Then I had to download a ton of windows service packs.

I almost splooged myself when I opened it up. :|

I'm a happy camper right now.

edit: yes it is a LEGAL version. im not a cheap ass like ya'll (yes i said yall live wit it.)

 

7.0>CS, CS2, and 6-1. Worst mistake of your life. ^_^

 

I still have 5.5, and 7 installed.

so 5.5 + 7 + cs2 > ur 7

 

why is it better, maynardstool?

i've only ever used cs2, i got mine in june i think

 

7 is like the root of photoshop. i love my 7.......

 

PS7>ALL End of story. GGZ

 

u think that was an upgrade lol i went from 5.0 to cs2 and what a difference ^_^

 

You'll only need CS or 7 (at the most) if you're using Photoshop for sigs.

 

I still have PS7. <3

 

I started out with CS myself. Never tried any of the others, but this is fine for me. The only thing I was disappointed to find, was that it did not include the 3d Transformation plug-in that 7 has. It wasn't too much bother though, I was able to find the plug-in and use it with my CS.

 

I started with a bootleg of PS7. Then I bough the student version of CS through my university about a year ago, and i'm just now starting to notice the actual differences. If you make sigs you won't notice a lot of difference, but if you're into photography and stuff the difference is huge, since CS (and even more so, CS2) has a lot more features that let you tinker with camera RAW formats. Basically, you can extract a picture from a digital camera at its original format/resolution/quality and edit it so instead of working with lower quality jpegs.

And I'm proud of my purchase. I managed to buy the whole CS package (photoshop, imageready, illustrator, indesign, golive, and acrobat) for $150. My college is awesome.

 

CS loads larger images faster, especially when your into rendering large images or photography.

I started off with 7 too and it was great, now I'm onta CS2

 

CS2 is great, i used to have cs, selecting multiple layers and moving them is great

 

Yeah, it did take some time to get over some of the adjustments from CS's interface, but those were such minor tweaks.

Still got to find a use for the warping tool.

 

i use warping tool in pscs2 to adjust shape vectors to better positions very often. I just wish it had more gridlines for better accuracy
