CS2 for main work. CS and 7 for teaching at college.

CS2 for me :D

I wonder why :lol

[mkeefe]

Photoshop CS2, Photoshop CS, Photoshop 7 ( on occasion )

When I bought the EOS 5D i had to update CS because of the "new" CR2 files!!!

[jsdesign]

cs2 at work and cs at home

[kiwicolin]

I still have 6, 7, 8 and 9 on my comp, but why would you use an earlier version (except for teaching)?

I'm very curious about this

The only time I open an earlier version is for training purposes.

I have heard urban myths that earlier version do certain things better, but if you set the prefs correctly CS2 can do anything better than earlier versions

[Cappy]

I have 7 and 8. No special reason except for old urban myths. If I did a manip in 7 I like to have 7 around incase I need to replace or reuse. I don;t have any color issues or spacial file discrepencies. It is what is is and was. Got to take the boots off now and get back to work:D

[Hermie]

In the early days i had everything on my computer as illegal!! Also versions of Photoshop...
But i always had strange things about the program, sometimes it wasn't running anymore, restarting the computer helped all the time.
But now i'm starting to make my own websites and stuff (about 2 years now) i wanted to have legal programs.
So in January 2005 i bought a new computer and i wanted every program on there as legal! And i still got that. I use a lot of freeware and some programs i bought.
I have to tell you guys that i sleep better (no really!! yes i do) knowing that it is alright to use these programs....
Just wanted you to know (and if you're interested here is a link) http://home.planet.nl/~herman68/negative/programmas.htm

[PNeal]

I haven't heard of the myths...
Becaues of HD space, I only have CS2 installed, but I still have versions:
5
5.5
6
7
CS

So far I haven't found anything (that I do) to be better with an earlier version.

i use cs2 in school and 7 occassionally..

[Seasalt]

here's one, just this week my CS crashed and I am getting an error that it wont launch it is saying because of library error, so this week I am using 7. I can't mess with it now untle deadline is done next week.

[cfire]

CS2 at work and on my laptop and 7 on my home desktop. I can't think of a single reason to use an older version if you have the latest one available.

[rAyVoLvEz]

CS2 is my choice with its great ability to select multiple layers at a go without hassle of doing links and etc..

I nv liked cs, dun ask why, it just doesnt appeal, i used to use it back at pre-u level but i virtually see not much of a diff between 7 n cs, except the filter gallery which i would rather do without..

so my choice in ranking:
1st - CS2
2nd - 7
...
...
...
...
...
?th - CS

frankly i dunno where to rank CS cos i never had any pleasant experience with it..

I love CS2!!

[Tanner Graphics]

I have CS on work pc and 7 at home . I'm trying to get CS2 I think it's the best. I guess it covered all what's needed in the previous versions.

[Phil_The_Rodent]

PS6.

Clean interface (down with software developers who feel the need to bevel the heck out of everything!), less system load, pretty much exactly the same functionalty for me as CS, which I use at work. I like nested layer sets, but everything else stays pretty much unused. Plus, no filter gallery!

[emm]

:)
I like the filter gallery.

I use cs. I do have 7.0 and 6.0 lying around somewhere, but I don't miss them allthough I could just as well use them as Phil says.

Remember when dropshadows had to be made manually? What a timesaver when that became only a click away. New versions always take some getting used to, but after a while I never miss the older version.

[Phil_The_Rodent]

You know what they lost in the jump from 6 to 7? Filter Factory. Filter Factory is awesome.

Of course, it was used probably the same amount as Filter>Other>Custom... still, I turned to FF a few times when I couldn't achieve results any other way (as a simple example, rebuilding a layer that had portions 100% erased rather than layer-masked out). Plus, it's simply been a blast to toy with. For me anyways...

[emm]

you know, I remember that, but I don't think I used it. Ever. Not that I can recall. No time at work and no energy at home, I guess.
:)

[d4o2]

voted for cs 2 but thinking to go up to the cs3

[deewebgirl]

...PS7...hahahhaa...still can't afford anything else!!

[mkeefe]

CS3 Public Beta and CS2 Premium

[joelm]

having CS2 at work, but v6 at home maybe because of my classic g5 ha ha ha.

...and just recently, passing the ACE on CS2! (proud to myself --- boooh)

then waitin' for the full version of CS3!

[JimG]

Photoshop Elements 2, 3, 4, & 5 Used for a class I teach called the digital dark room. For my own work I use Photoshop CS, I moved Photoshop 7 to my wife's desktop and occasionally will use it when I happen to be sitting at her desk. The bulk of everything that I do though is done on PS8. I still use Corel for a few things that I just can't seem to do in Photoshop.

cs2 here, I would assume mkeefe is teaching 7 because thats the only copy on the computers in his classroom?

Don't think you are talking about the correct person... I am a developer/designer, but not a teacher.

I mentioned PS7 in the past since some clients require that version, when you work with others you need a whole list of versions. :)

Oh and I am using CS3 now for 99% of my work!

[TechZsue]

CS 2

[Hermie]

Would it be wise to have YET another update? I bought CS and the update to CS2. Should i update again??

Also i think updating to CS3 without having Vista on my computer wouldn't have any sence, i think. Comments, suggestions?

Leo

[Pakalika]

Yea I have CS2 would have CS3 if I could Afford it.

[AussieInLondon]

CS3 extended.

[dayglo]

since yesterday CS3 Extended - no idea what I'm doing :)

[ritchelclips]

Actually I use two, CS2 at work and 7 at home. I don't do much graphics at home so I didn't upgrade it.

[mixedupmacandpc]

I am now on CS3 master suite (OSX), the ultimate in bloatware & function, silly icons & horrible install, but what ya gunna do, it gets the job done and it all works reasonably well for me except for PS extended, which I run in Rosetta emulation 'cause I don't wanna upgrade all my plugins.

[barsha]

i am using photoshop cs2 right now

[CBCOOLEST]

CS3 and it works flawless! :cheers

[jexamine]

CS2 before... can we include CS3 amongst the choices since that is what am using now :roll

[mixedupmacandpc]

better put CS4 in while u are at it!
:)

[wecaweb]

cs3 for me :)

[rAyVoLvEz]

Gonna be moving to CS3.3 soon. Getting my box soon. Should be getting CS4 but oh well, I get educational package for CS3.3

[davjlee]

CS4

[rcfreas]

Way to dig up an old thread davjlee ;)

-Work, CS2 on the pc (had to bring in my version...) and 6.0 on the old mac G3 (the owner would rather be out spending $ drinking instead of improving the work environment)
-Home, CS2 and 5.5 'cuz it loads and saves Amiga .iff files. ...and yes, I still use the Amiga/VideoToaster for graphics.

Ron

[bdbolin]

Lol, I love how the poll is soooo outdated!

[davjlee]

Definitely outdated! But there are so many new users now. I actually just upgraded to CS4 recently after using CS for a long time. I had also been using Imageready, however, I am now looking to upgrade from there as well.
:cheers

[amerianna]

I bought Cs4 extended. you didn't have an option up there for that one.

[mixedupmacandpc]

this is an ancient poll,,,cs5 needs to be there as well.

[vivekcis]

I have 8 and its the best photoshop i ever seen....

[Dusty]

I have been using CS 5 lately.

[aldea]

I use CS5 - have found it to be worth the upgrade on a few projects just for the puppet warp tool...

[carrybag93]

I use CS3. I have tried CS4 and CS5, but I find them a bit difficult to use. I think it's because the latter layouts are darker than CS3. :P
