What photoshop should i download? please advise :)
Hi, I want to learn how to correct noses, make skin look flawless and make people look thinner. Can you please advise me what photoshop i should download to do this? thank you  Kay xxxxxxxxx Oct 06 09 08:49 am Link buy the one on the left or in the middle and you are all set  http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop … moid=BPDEK Oct 06 09 08:53 am Link Hi Kay, Are you aware that Photoshop is not a free download? Prices are high, because this is a professional tool. I suggest going with an open-source and hence free software package to get you started and once you get to a level where you decide you are interested and invested in retouching then you can start thinking about buying expensive software. Try the GIMP, downloadable here; http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ It doesn't do all the same things that Photoshop does, but you will probably find a good substitute tool and it's enough to get you started. If you can't find what you are looking for while using it, google is your friend, and you will find that the open source community is very helpful in giving photoshop-gimp equivalencies to new users who are getting to grips with things. Enjoy! Oct 12 09 09:52 am Link Get Adobe Photoshop Elements and if you are student it should be quite cheap. Oct 12 09 12:10 pm Link I just bought a intuos 4 tablet. It was $199 and comes with 5 programs for retouching including Adobe elements 7. Oct 12 09 12:30 pm Link get Adobe Photoshop CS4 or don't bother! u can get student edition for like $199 or $299 for a retail version @journeyed.com...good deal!

I'm aware of what CS4 has to offer, but you can pick up 7 on amazon for a good price and still get the job done Oct 12 09 05:36 pm Link

Reason: violates rules Comments: That's illegal. We don't allow the discussion of such here. Oct 12 09 05:41 pm Link We all mostly have PhotoShop CS4. However, a small Canadian Company called Corel bought out JASC software a few years ago and have come up with a very robust program called Photo Pro X2. I have been testing it and quite frankly, can't put it down. Oh I use CS4 an awful lot but if you want to learn (the principles are the same) you can get this program for 99 Canadian - that's about 70US or so...... I would encourage others to have a boo at it - spectacular. (and I never thought I would be saying that). Oct 12 09 05:46 pm Link What are you currently using and why do you want to move to something else? The Photoshop 7 or the Creative Suite series or Photoshop Elements do have different capabilities and limitations... What are you using now and where do you want to go? Oct 12 09 05:49 pm Link

Oct 12 09 06:45 pm Link I surely hope that I don't get banned from llama Mayhem for this suggestion but an application that many claim is superior to any of the PS's and is free - even for Windoze users: The Gnu Image Manipulation Program (GIMP): http://www.gimp.org/ If you are unable/unwilling to adapt to GIMP's UI, try GIMPShop: http://www.gimpshop.com/download.shtml Oct 15 09 05:30 pm Link Tom deL wrote: I can't see why you'd be worried about that, given that multiple moderators have recommended the GIMP in the past, and it's in at least one of the FAQs.

Oct 15 09 10:03 pm Link Thank you so much every one for your reply I am going to save and get the CS4 it sounds like the best one now looking for a wizard in London to teach me? Kay xoxo Oct 18 09 03:38 pm Link Ps is CS4 best for macbook or windows? Thanks Kay xoxo Oct 18 09 03:39 pm Link Kay llama xoxo wrote: Macbook would be quite slow to handle CS4 imo, especially when ur editing a high res image (even my macbook pro w/ 4gb of ram i feel like it's kinda sluggish sometime...one of my latest psd is like 300mb in size!!). Mac would would be your best bet for CS4 (even University and retouch house are running Adobe on Mac) Oct 18 09 11:36 pm Link Windows, especially if you have a good graphics card. Seagate makes awesome ones. I've always been a PC person- everything I want to run on here works great. I can even have a bunch of programs running like Photoshop CS4, Bridge, Lightroom, Firefox, AIM, Skype... doesn't slow it down, even on my laptop (just an integrated graphics card).

You can probably get one on amazon or ebay for next to nothing. Oct 22 09 11:37 am Link

Reason: violates rules Comments: Do not feed the trolls. Oct 22 09 11:57 am Link Ok, now we know whose an unrealistic idealist. Relative to op: I just lost CS4 in a vista~related crash and picked up Photoshop Elements 8 to tide me through, would this program be able to help me alter the 'fit' of clothing from a shoot {like 'slimming' in OP?}... I've been shipping a lot of work lately and not sure that what I'm getting back is suitable based on not being there to dress the models myself. {yes, *some* have problems reading instructions and dressing themselves} Oct 22 09 12:16 pm Link
