5 out of 5 stars Best Graphic Design Program   December 15, 2006

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.


5 out of 5 stars 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.




5 out of 5 stars Superpowerful great program do not buy this!   January 29, 2005

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.
