Photoshop

Which photoshop is better? 7.0 or cs3?

 

[UndeadDragon]

Cs3.

 

[simonake]

Thx.

CS = New Shite.

 

[Varine]

CS4 is out now isn't it?

 

[Prometheus]

But it sucks.

 

[Varine]

All of the new software does.

 

[Exfiltrate]

CS4 doesn't suck

Use CS4 if your computer is fast enough, CS4 has many great improvements, and it includes over 1700 man years of work over CS3.

 

[Varine]

That doesn't make it good.

That doesn't make it good.

If your computer is good enough, it's a huge improvement.

CS4 better, but if your computer is single core or dual core(Lower than 2.0GHz), with 256mb ddr2 graphic, I suggest CS3. CS 4 have many great feature, like 3D view.

 

[Prometheus]

This is slowly convincing me to try CS4.

You won't regret the switch-- providing you have a good enough computer.

My friend tried to install it on his family laptop, and it failed hard.

cs4 has too many features, thats why its also expensive... only buy cs4 if you are going to use cs4 for its new features... if not stick with cs3 as it's still good, and relatively cheap right now...

in any case install the 30-day trial from adobe first and try it

I'm gettin PS CS4 shortly. I bought CS4 Flash recently and enjoy using it (though why did they move establishing linkage around? Jerks ...). I'll let yeh know how PS CS4 is from my view, though I never really used PS much at all.

For me CS3 is enough. Plus, I bet my comp can't handle 4. However, if I want 3D, I get 3DStudio Max, not Photoshop :nuts:.

What about for texturing/skinning?

i still use 7.0 as its still pretty good, dont feel like pirating CS3 (which I know most of you did). even a student license for cs3 cost more than maya and 3ds combined.

What about for texturing/skinning?

Do you need a 3D app in PS for that? The way things went so far (making the skin in PS, testing in 3D program) seems still good to me. And it's more accessible for less powerful computers .
