Why Is......

Ok this is how it goes....

I'm using Adobe 5.5 outdated yes.Before my dad will let me buy a newer version he wants to know why a newer version better. To tell you the truth i dont know that much all i know is im missing out on alot. Could you tell me why a newer version is better than 5.5


*Note* dont just say its better please explain why *Note*


Thank You

 

I haven't used 5.5 but I'm guessing the tools are better and there are more features and it's probably laid out better. Just a guess though.

 

maybe its more efficient and runs better..im not sure, once again a guess
(ive also never used 5.5)

 

You will get some extra filters and tools. But if you do get the newer version, get CS not CS2. Heard alot of mixed reviews about it and wouldn't want your Dad to pay alot for something you dont care for.

 

I have 5.5, here are some things:

The load brush thing isn't as buggy
Layer styles can be much more advanced
Its jsut... better

Hope I helped...

 

If you have high-speed internet just go to www.adobe.com download the 30 day trial and if you think its better buy it

 

well tell him you cant use like any bruses

 

i've used 5.5 and for 5.5 you can't find as many brushes that you can use and there is more tool for the newer versions

 

thank you all this helps i hope its enough to convince him any more information is still welcome

 

i think you guys understimate the power of 5.5 i used 5.0 for ages only untill recently i upgraded to cs2 yes 5.5 u cant have as many brushes but you canstill obtain the results of what cs2 or 7 can ju make your own brushes thats what i did ..
yes cs2 or cs or even 7 are better but if you play with 5.5 you will find you will learn things a lot quicker cos you have to do brushes and such yourself and adapt to make things like in the tuts you wont b able to do half of them but the results are still able to be made jus with a little more learning and a little more drive to teach yourself such things..
id recommend getting to grips with 5.5 or even like others have stated download the trial version to see if you like it first $600 is a lot of cash if you dont like a programme or even plan on using it for a long time
just my 2 cents

 

well the one main thing i want to do is the fire effect but most of the information on the turorial isnt a option it even tells you that youll need CS or higher :unsure:

 

well your problems mayb solved

ive done this tut in 5.0 and it works ^_^ *note this tut wasnt written by me*

 

Better brushes and more advanced tools!

 

just google search for adobe PS 5.5 features and adobe PS (x) features and compare

 

each PS version has better tools, more filters, more effecient interfaces, and several more options, if your gonna buy PS get CS and not CS2, CS2 needs a more RAM and is a little slow
