Hi everyone, currently I am using PS CS1 and i feel a bit software wise behind. I am thinking of upgrading to CS3 extended. I wanted to know your opinions if I should upgrade and should I get the program the legit way or the 1337 H4X0R way?

I'm going to bed so i won't check this thread until tomorrow.

Good Night.

Not sure about CS1 since I never used Photoshop before CS2 was out, but the difference between CS2 & CS3 is minimal... not sure if it's more so between CS1 & CS3.

CS3 still crashes quite often. Just get CS2 and you'll be fine.

cS1 ftw!

NO..dont waste your money for stupid piece of shet. And if you decide to upgrade it by H4X0R way, dont waste your time for stupid piece of shet

if you need cs3, pm me

I <3 CS. If you use more than photoshop (eg: flash, photoshop, stocks) it's much better because everything is integrated. However, if you're only using photoshop; sticking to cs1 or cs2 would be better.

What's so bad about CS3?... I kinda like the organized working space rather than "drag this window where every you want" things.

Never crashed for me..

Can I pm you for cs3?

Get CS2, its pretty much the same as CS3, but get CS2 if you dont want any problems

thanks everyone for giving advice. I think I will get CS2 later.....don't know when >.<

Just dont use photoshop at all...use GIMP ftw

Get out of your basement doing sigs, into either a professional role or graphic design education and photoshop will be required.

GIMP is fine if all you're going to be doing is playing with layer styles, brushes, and premade renders. If you want a program that allows you to realise a high calibre design potential then adobe's suite is mandatory.

They're the same thing and i probably wont get into any professional sig making so no worries.(I've used photoshop so I know the difference and similarities)Plus I dont want to spend like 300$ until I get a good job.

lol @ professional sig making. That's not what I meant.

Also, CS3's main selling point/advantage if the way its components work together. You would need to buy the suite, which is $1,799.99; not $300.

By stating you don't want to spend $300 until you get a job, you're suggesting that when you get a job you would spend $300 for photoshop. With that statement you just said that photoshop is better than gimp.

Yes, I stated I didnt want to spend $300,but I nvr said I would spend it on Photoshop

Don't compare GIMP to Adobe. GIMP is nowhere near It's league.

What does photoshop have that GIMP doesn't?

If you're:

Downloading a premade render, clicking with a premade brush, applying layer effects: nothing.

Like I said, the difference only comes into play when you're trying to do something more serious with it.




In a nut shell:
GIMP = Image Editing
Photoshop (read: Adobe Suite) = Multimedia Design

Lol, I honestly don't know.

Creative Suite. If you get creative on your way of obtaining the program, I suggest getting CS3. Maybe sure you get a copy that is the WHOLE SUITE, and not just the seperate programs zipped together.

cin thats against forum rules... you are a mod you should know that...

Discussion it openly is, PMing it is not.

I have a link for PS CS3 PORTABLE... Just pm if anyone is interested.

Thanks for the info I hope when I get it a little box comes up that says "your skill in art increased 2 points"

Well since you guys think Photoshop CS3 is better I will use it. PM me if you have it.
