Hello,
I’ve been using an old version of Paint Shop Pro for awhile, and I think it’s time for me to make the leap to Photoshop. I want to have the best tool and to follow along easily with all those tutorials on the web. My goal is to be able to create better graphics for my web sites. I’m not really interested in what can be done with digital photos. Here are some questions I have:
1) I’m a part-time grad student, and I qualify for the academic version that several sites sell. Is the academic version the same as the full version? Can I continue using it after I graduate? This is for personal/hobbyist use.
2) Some places on eBay sell the latest Photoshop for about $300. They claim to do this by packing the previous version of Photoshop with the upgrade. Is this valid?
3) If I did go and buy Photoshop CS (the previous version), does it have pretty much all the common functionality that any normal person would need with Photoshop? What is the oldest version of Photoshop that I should consider using?
4) Do the upgrade packages only work with the previous version? Or so they upgrade any old release to the newest version?
Thanks!
