Adobe Photoshop CS [OLD VERSION]

 (25 customer reviews)

I totally agree that Photoshop is an excellent software to use in editing images and making original art from scratch. This version of Photoshop, CS, brought with it many new improvements and enhancements that have already been taken up by previous reviewers. What I don't agree with is that most people say it is difficult to learn when in fact, it isn't! Those of you who wanted to own Photoshop and not afraid of experimenting, this is the perfect time to buy Photoshop and be counted as one image editing savvy person!For newcomers and prospective buyers, don't let the "steep learning curve" routine preached by other folks discourage you. Photoshop is no more difficult to learn than any other software like Paintshop or PhotoImpact. I have tried all three and settled on Photoshop as THE EASIEST!

Do not buy this? But I just said it was a great program. Superpowerful why not buy this version? If you buy the standalone of Adobe Photoshop CS. You're basically blowing money. The price tag of this is almost $600. As with many of adobe standalone products individually, they cost a fortune. But you can buy the creative suite for less than a thousand, and with that, you get Adobe Acrobat. You'd adobe illustrator, PageMaker, etc.

This thing can take a bad photo one actually save it. You might also be interested in just getting adobe Photoshop elements 3.0. It has most of the features of Adobe Photoshop CS, but at a fraction of the cost less than a...Read more

First of all I gave this program 5 out of 5 because it is incredibly powerful, well organized, and nicely intuitive.

Now what you may or may not want to hear.

My Background:

I have been in digital photography since 1999. I started out with your typical point and shoot camera. Since then I have had two others of the same caliber. This year I upgraded and picked up a digital SLR (Single-Lens Reflexive) camera. I have since gotten really into photography and digital imaging. I have used different versions of photoshop in the past and have always appreciated it's power, but now...

Photoshop CS:

This is the first time that I have had the opportunity to work with a DNG (digital negative) otherwise known as a Camera Raw file. Being able to adjust your exposure after you have taken the picture is mind altering. Pictures taken on the fly where the exposure is off or the white balance just isn't right or the camera was set for...Read more
