Adobe Photoshop

Hey guys, just kinda trying to get started into rendering stuff, but I'm not sure what to get. I want to get Adobe Photoshop exclusively, what's the best version?

Thanks guys,

Hope ya got $600 handy.

CS2 is the best version that I have used. It has the most features. But as mav said, its quite costly.

 

PS CS and CS2 are the same rendering wise no extra tools but interface and high-end functions changed a little

CS will hog less memory than cs2 - So if you got 512 and below dont get CS2

@tbh - WAZAAA

 

I would recomend getting the free-trial of CS2 before you spend $600.00 on it. You can get the trial on the website of course.

 

Dang... okay, I'll take a good look at this stuff first, probably CS2.

How about 3Ds Max for 3d images? Anyone know about that as well?

 

lol 3DSMAX is like $1000

Complex to use

Maya = $4,999
3DSMAX = $1000
C4D - $500

All prices are approx. but maya is $4,999

and is very hard to use - I doubt you got that much money to burn but ye C4D is the most manageable program

No wonder my PS lags so much when i use it for a long time.

 

ohh..that explains EVERYTHING

lol

but i got 512 and its not too bad, actually

 

lol - It works fine onf 512 but still laggy & with the combination of Fonts, Brushes and plugins - That will lag it right down

I hav 512 and whenever I'm doing someting other than focusing on cs2, from internet to music, I lag.....and then.......Adobe Photoshop CS2: Not Responding. Damn

 

i had 256 mb ram on my old comp and it didn't lag too much. just when i was working on something big.

 

Heh, I've got the money, and the good type of computer. I've never heard of Maya, what is it?

 

Maya is a high-end 3D computer graphics and 3D modelling software package, originally by Alias Systems Corporation but now owned by Autodesk under its Media and Entertainment division. Autodesk acquired the software in October 2005 upon purchasing Alias. It is often used in the film and TV industry, as well as for computer and video games.

 

lolz

That explains it - COpy + Paster

Its a ----- modelling program - Shrek and Toy Story was made in it

It is very COMPLEX and I mean it when I say that
