    I've never used it before but from the looks of things it looks really good and would be good to have for my designs.

    So.....

    What version should I get?
    Where did you get it from?
    How much?
    Is it hard to use?

    Any other hints n tips would be good too, quite interested in getting it ;)

    if your pc is good and i MEAN GOOD! get cs4

    if your pc is ok get cs3

    or cs2

    i cant tell you where i got it from (pm me ;) )

    I think it retails about £800

    and no it isn't hard to use tbh

    It's not hard to use but it's hard to get good at. Takes years and a knowledge of what looks good and what doesn't and what is up to date design wise.

    Plus it depends on what you want to do with it. You have to remember it's PHOTOshop. So it's main job is editing and retouching photo's and that's it.

    Thanks for the replies, was just looking at like changing the paint of the bike n adding or making shapes, seen it done some places.

    I don't think my laptop is that great tbh so cs3 or cs2 might be best.

    Oh and of course with time you get much much quicker and you know the best way to do things. You can do most things in photoshop about 20 different ways but it's doing them the best/quickest depending on what you want.

    I've been using photoshop for about 7 years and there is still plenty left to learn. It's not till you see a top photo retoucher doing what they do until you realise how far you still have to go.
