which version of photoshop ?

[starcraft]

hi im using version 8.0 just now and was going to get 9.0 cs2 but i heard there was probs with it such as keyboard short cuts , should i stick with what ive got or upgrade ??

[C@L]

id say stay

i only have 7!! but am not changin jus incase somthin does go rong

[starcraft]

the thing is i was reading a tutorial on makeing a flameaeffect and i needed an airbrush effect soft 50 % or something along that lines but i didnt even have the airbrush tool .... is that a plug in or is it on the new version ?

[C@L]

avneva even erd of air brush i think it mite just be the normal brush tool but with a difrent brush style you can dwnload brushes from http://browse.deviantart.com/resources/ ... 9&limit=24
there wil be one like a flame in their somewere

but your best off asking someone with CS2 if their is an airbrush

[webmaster]

I think they mean the brush tool when they write air brush tool and you have that in all versions of Photoshop I've tested.

oh i couldnt see the setting they said to use

[C@L]

why not do it your own way then just download some brushes that resemble fre an use them over each other in different shades of reds oranges and yellows ?

ok thanks i will give it a try

going back to your original question... i WOULD upgrade, you don't really loose anything from ps 7, and you GAIN so much from CS, the only thing that is different, is a few keyboard commands... clipping mask is different for example, but it makes up for itself with the additions. i would say upgrade!

You can change any shortcut keys to the ones you are used to in the photoshop settings.

Me having used photoshop 7 and above would suggest the upgrade. Like Pure said, you dont lose any functions, you just get a bunch more of them
