A Photoshop 6 or 7

[Kintall]

I\'m just curious if any of the people on this board know what the differences are between photoshop version 6 and version 7?

any info would be greatly apreciated, Thankyou

Well, just an upgraded version with more features, with layer effects and such. Go with 7.0 or CS... the higher the upgrade, the more flexibility you have.

Not neccessarily true... i have seen people who can create photoshop pro 7.0 material in paintshop...

I used to use PS6 and didn\'t upgrade to 7 for a long time. But when I did, I wasn\'t sorry. PS7 gives you alot more freedom and flexibility, and the general layout has been improved a bit. I believe layer styles (darken, light burn, overlay, etc etc) were only introduced in PS7... although I may be wrong. But if this is correct, I could never go back to version 6 without them.

same here, those features meant a great deal in my sig making for various stuff couldn\'t have done most of them to my own satisfaction without those feats...

PS7 is great, use it every day. But, if you can get a late version of CorelDraw, it ain\'t bad at all. I use it and it really gives your work another look.

I always upgrade my software as soon as a new version comes out, so I\'m using PhotoShop 8(Creative Studio) right now, it has some new filters and 1 or 2 new layer blend filters, The GUI looks a bit better and the program works smoother and faster, but overall I don\'t think to much has changed.

i still prefere the GIMP ...especially the 2 version ...it looks awesome ...and it\'s free, no need to get our hands dirty with pirating

...but it all just depends on your taste in the end ...at the elysiun forums someone said (a gimp and blender user): \"it\'s not the tool that makes the art ...it\'s the artist!\"

p.s. i\'m by no means an artist ...even if you put me behind a ultra-fancy-and-expensive SGI workstation i\'ll be just as good
