Re: Photoshop CS is out

Expand Post »
I currently use Photoshop 7 for Windows and Photoshop 7 for my mac, as well. Most of what I use them for are web designs - i.e. the logo for DaniWeb, some designs for other websites, etc. I've actually never tried CS so I can't compare myself. So now my question: Is it worth it for me to upgrade to CS?

Re: Photoshop CS is out

The only thing that has affected me is the save / open new hot keys, now it is ctrl shift s to save as and now pressing alt, then f, then s goes to open as.

Here is a list of new features though.

Graphics and Multimedia Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. // Description
  2. Get superior results faster with Adobe® Photoshop® CS software, the powerful new upgrade from Photoshop 7.0, and take advantage of indispensable new features for graphic and Web design, photography, and video.
  3.  
  4. New Features Include:
  5. * [Improved File Browser]: Quickly preview, tag, and sort images; search and edit metadata and keywords; and automatically share batches of files from the improved File Browser.
  6. * [Match Color Command]: Achieve a consistent look between package shots, fashion photos, and more by instantly matching the color scheme of one image to another.
  7. * [Histogram Palette]: Monitor changes to your image in the Histogram palette, which dynamically updates as you make adjustments.
  8. * [Shadow/Highlight Correction]: Quickly improve the contrast of over- or underexposed areas of an image while preserving the overall balance of the photo using Shadow/Highlight correction.
  9. * [Text on a Path]: Create eye-catching typography by placing text on paths or within shapes. Edit the text at any time, even in Adobe Illustrator® software.
  10. * [Integrated Digital Camera Raw File Support]: Get truer, higher quality output by working with the complete raw data files from most major digital camera models.
  11. * [Comprehensive 16-bit Support]: Perform more precise editing and retouching with expanded support for 16-bit images in core features, including layers, brushes, text, shapes, and more.
  12. * [Layer Comps]: Create design variations for clients more efficiently by saving different combinations of layers within the same file as Layer Comps.
  13. * [Macromedia Flash File Export]: Use ImageReady CS to create Macromedia® Flash™ (SWF) animations, complete with vector artwork and variable text.

Re: Upgrade from Photoshop 7 to CS?

If you ask me, it's worth the upgrade for Layer Comps alone.
This is a great way to have multiple versions of a file for client approval.

Re: Upgrade from Photoshop 7 to CS?

I agree with Kezz the upgrade is worth it, but if you dont work heavily with images and Photoshop 7 serves you right, then you may want to spend you money in something that you might use to improve the quality of the image you start with. A scanner upgrade or a new Digital Camera.
