 Best Graphic Design Program December 15, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
While it's true the cost of this software may be a bit high for scrapbooking parties, the intention of the software is for designers...mainly professional. I've used PhotoShop for about 6 years now and have upgraded to CS2 and I love it. It's not difficult to learn if you understand what it is you want to do with the program. A great book to help teach PhotoShop is Adobe PhotoShop CS Classroom in a Book. There is a whole series of these that walk you through some general and not-so-general examples to help you get better aquainted with the software. From photo manipulation to greating your own graphic, the possibilities are endless.
Things to consider August 20, 2005

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 altogether different conditions and everything is messed up, can be FIXED! It is like going back in time and putting in the right settings before you took the picture. If you are shooting RAW files and you are not using this software you should get your head checked!!! You can even change certain lens properties: vignetting for example is a great tool to really focus the viewer's eye where you want it.
If you shoot JPEGs:
Buy this if-
1. You are a perfectionist and you want uncompromising quality and accuracy out of your shots.
2. You are intensly creative and never want to be limited because a program just can't do what you want it to.
3. You are an elitist and you just have to have it for no other reason than the fact that it is the best. (Its ok, but max out a Roth before buying this)
If you just want something to get rid of pimples or red-eye and manage your pictures this is not worth it. Adobe Photoshop Elements is a great program and very cheap. Matter of fact I believe version 3.0 even supports Camera Raw files if you are a purist and don't like to mess with things very much. Although it is still a pretty powerful program for all besides the most demanding.
If you do buy this you may want to consider getting it as part of the entire "Creative Suite" if you can make any use of the other programs.
Also, BUY A BOOK! It will take you a year if you try and learn this program just by messing around with it.
 Utterly offended by Adobe's Big Brother functions May 16, 2005

This is a heavy weight application that will allow you to do plenty with your graphics. For 90% of people out there this will be overkill and will most likely spend their money more wisely on Paint Shop Pro instead, which would still be overkill but a fraction of the cost.
However my main grudge with this software is the "Currency Detection". You cannot work with images of money in this version. Photoshop CS has the ability to detect scanned currency and prevent these files from being opened with an error message stating, "This application does not support the unauthorized processing of banknote images."
What else will be dictated to the punter next? Maybe they'll be able to choose our religion for us?
Adobe can stuff their new features I'm sticking with my Big Brother-less graphic software!
Superpowerful great program do not buy this! January 29, 2005
44 out of 48 found this review helpful
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.
Search for Amazon item number: B0006J2PTO for the premium edition.
Or search Amazon item number:B0000DBNHV for the Standard Edition.
And you'll see what I mean by the savings. As far as what this program can do, it can do anything when it comes to manipulating photographs adjusting color. 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 hundred.

Gotta love photoshop... November 25, 2004
23 out of 25 found this review helpful
I had PS 5.5. That is the one I learned in collage a few years back. I used it up untill a few weeks ago when my husband was rebuilding my computer and I used his. He has CS. It did take me a few days to get used to it, they made a lot of changes between 5.5 and CS. Good changes, once I got used to it anyway.
It does take some learning. Dont expect to take it out of the box and be an expert. I also would like to say that dual monitors helps a LOT, mostly because its nice to have all your tools, history, layers, and brush pallets open at once while still being able to see what you are working on. To learn, I suggest finding free online tuts. I have learned many tricks just recently by reading tuts on dA... Also just play with it. Thats basicly what I did in the class I took, I learned more by just playing around then anything else.
The price is really the only bad thing about CS, or PS in general. Thats why I gave it only 4 stars.
