Which Photoshop is the best and what is the price range?

I want to do different and interesting things with my pictures, but I don't know which Photoshop to buy. Please advise. Thanks.Which Photoshop is the best and what is the price range?
If you don't have the $600 for Photoshop CS2, the next best thing is a software called PhotoPlus 10 Studio Pack. It's the best Photoshop clone with a lot of the same features and it's only $79.





If you have the money, then Photoshop CS2 is the way to go. You get the full functionality to create whatever your creative desires lead you to make. With an uber assortment of Plug-Ins there really isn't anything you can't create with Photoshop.Which Photoshop is the best and what is the price range?
CS2- or you could wait 6 months for CS3.
Don't buy Photoshop, by Paint Shop Pro 9 or 7. Price is $100, but look on ebay.
AdobePhoto is an excellent program and used extensively by graphic designers and photographers but it is very expensive. If money is not an object that's what I would recommend. There are some that you can download for free such as GIMP.


If you are not sure which program to buy, try out some different programs through http://www.adobe.com/. They have a very wide selection of free 30 to 60 day downloads of their programs so that you can try them out before you buy. There is no obligation to buy the products after the trial and you can try out as many as you wish. They also have free tutorials and lessons on using the programs.


It's free to sign up and will help you in making your decision. Hope this helps. Good luck.

What's the difference between Photoshop and Photoshop Elements?

I have photoshop elements 6.0 and I'm trying to do various things with it. I really want to make my own comic, but it seems everytime I Google how to do it, it just comes up as photoshop. What's the difference between the two? Which one is better? Are there things that you can do on one that you can't do on the other?


Thanks in advance! ^^What's the difference between Photoshop and Photoshop Elements?
Photoshop is generally the entire CS version. It is a professional program, and includes a wide array of features that the average home user wouldn't even know where to start with.





Elements is a stripped out version of Photoshop CSx. It includes only the easy to use features that home users can get their head around. Whereas Photoshop requires some sort of training to effectively use, a somewhat savvy user could get a handle on Elements with regular use over a week or two.





Photoshop CSx is significantly more expensive. It runs upwards of $600 dollars. Elements, you can pick up for around 100 bucks.





If you want a program that does most of what Photoshop can do, only is free, go with GIMP. It is more advanced that Elements, although not quite on par with Photoshop CSxWhat's the difference between Photoshop and Photoshop Elements?
Photoshop has photo editing tools, some graphics tools and a better choice of art tools than Elements does. But neither its graphics nor its art tools are considered professional quality so Photoshop owners who need those things also have Adobe Illustrator and Corel Painter. PS is also capable of pre-print color separation and a few other things involved with post-production stuff. After you learn how to use Elements, you can usually figure out the workarounds you need to do Photoshop tutorials. How are you doing your comics? Drawing and coloring? Graphics?





If you plan on drawing/painting, why not use a dedicated art program?

With a difference of about $400 it should be obvious that there is a big difference.

How do I change the new dark photoshop elements interface?

Is it possible to change the new dark photoshop elements interface for windows vista (white text on a dark gray background) to look like normal in previous versions of photoshop? I can't stand it! It hurts my eyes and distracts from my creations. Thanks!How do I change the new dark photoshop elements interface?
Elements has had the dark workspace since version 6 - or maybe even version 5 (I use 4 and 6). If you have Elements 7, then, yes, you can change the look of the workspace. I don't have version 7 myself but others in the Elements group I belong to were celebrating their ability to go back to a less eye-straining workspace. Check under Edit%26gt;Preferences or in the View Menu ....or in Help. If you have Elements 6, there's no way to change the look.

Goodluck :)What is the difference between photoshop and photoshop elements?
Photoshop Elements is tailored for the everyday person and people who generally don't know a lot about computers. You'd normally use it to edit photos (remove red-eye etc.) there isn't that much else it can do though If I'm honest. Its a no frills program compared with Photoshop which targeted towards professionals. The program has a lot more tools, more expensive and personally if I'm very difficult to get the hang of (its like the language equivalent of a computer program, quite simple to learn the basics but to master it takes ages)

How do I reduce a screenshot in Photoshop without it becoming blurry?

I have made a screenshot directly from a handheld electronic device and am trying to reduce the image size using Photoshop CS3. When I have it the size I want it to be, all the images and text on the image are blurry and no longer readable. How can I reduce it and still have a crisp image?How do I reduce a screenshot in Photoshop without it becoming blurry?
The first thing you want to do is make sure your view is set to 100% (that means you are looking at the pixels how they will come out), to do that click on your magnifying glass twice and on the bottom left corner of your image now should say 100%.





The go to Image %26gt; Image size and change the size of your image. always make sure you have 'Constrain Proportions' checked so your image won't get distorted and check 'Resample Image' and select Bicubic Sharper (which is the best interpolation method for reductions)





Just keep in mind that text becomes unreadable below 9 points on screen and below 8 points on paper, so no matter how you resize if your text gets smaller than that there is no way around it.





You can read more about resampling from the link below and there is also a link to Sharpening images in that document.How do I reduce a screenshot in Photoshop without it becoming blurry?
If you reduce the size of the image it is obvious that it will not remain crystal clear. You are bound to loose some pixels in the process. Text is the first to get hit by image manipulation.





My suggestion is first delete the portion of the image which you think is not necessary, and then resize it.

You want to reduce it right? Well, I don't know much about Photoshop CS3 (I use CS2) but it should be possible to reduce the size bicubic or nearest neighbour (something like that). Experiment with those things, you'll find them in Edit -%26gt; Image Size.
If it does actually become a little blurry when reducing file size, mess with bicubic, and also go to Filter --%26gt; sharpen. It may add back the clarity it lost.

How do I make special characters in photoshop on a laptop?

On my desktop, if hit alt +0149 in photoshop it makes a bullet. This does not work on my laptop. I believe this is because I do not have a number keypad on my laptop keyboard. Is there a way to do this using the numbers at the top of the keypad?How do I make special characters in photoshop on a laptop?
Could open your Character Map in Windows and select different fonts which gives you different symbols. To open ';Character Map';, go to All Programs-Accesories-System Tools-Character Map. Not all systems may have ';Character Map'; installed and if it is missing use Windows Setup to install it. Also on some systems it is located directly in ';Accessories'; rather than ';Accessories-System Tools';.





Alt + 3 = 鈾? but you need to know more.To use the Alt codes you must have the Number Keypad on. On a PC, just press the NumLock key and light should come on and you can use the Alt codes.





For laptops, You have to use the Fn + Alt keys together and the number keypad is the numbers on certain dedicated letters keys. Check your Help for your laptop to show which key engages and locks the Fn (Number Pad) on or see: How to Use the Numeric Keypad on Your Laptop - http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/ho鈥?/a>





Mac Users:





Character Palette: http://www.apple.com/pro/tips/symbols.ht鈥?/a>


See Type a heart symbol in Mac OS X: http://marketwall.com/mac-heart.html





Some symbols may not show because your computer does not contain the font set and/or your browser is not set to the correct Character Encoding. Changing browser's encoding is usually done from its View Menu.





RonHow do I make special characters in photoshop on a laptop?
If it doesn't already work with the numbers at the top of the keyboard, then it probably won't. Unless there's some kind of setting that you have made on you desktop and not on your laptop for it to do this. I've never used photoshop so I don't know. But what I do know is that you can buy a usb number key pad for your laptop. It has the same exact buttons as a desktop keyboard's number key pad and you just plug in into a usb port on your laptop.
you have to activate the num pad on the laptop by clicking a button on laptops i have seen it is labeled as a fn in blue letters.
