I would appreciate informational help in a PS upgrade and moving from – WinXP to Vista with a new computer please.

1. Can my PS7 files be opened in CS4 on this new ‘puter and read?

2. Can they be worked on and saved as CS4?

3. Can PS7 and CS4 in installed and work individually on this new OS?

4. I used ImageReady for years and loved it, and tragically, its gone from all the upgrades.This was used to create my website. If I keep my old computer, can I work on page changes, new work, etc., make a copy on a disc, take it to the new computer and upload the data to my website from there?

5. If not, what program for optimization and animation abilities would you suggest.

I hate leaving my comfort zone with PS 7 but I hope to move on. Thanks for your imput—it is much appreciated……MM

You can’t upgrade…The earliest eligible version is CS.

Shouldn’t be a problem.

2. Can they be worked on and saved as CS4?

Yes.

3. Can PS7 and CS4 in installed and work individually on this new OS?

PS 7 on Vista is a crapshoot.

4. I used ImageReady for years and loved it, and tragically, its gone from all the upgrades.

Many of the IR features are now in Photoshop.

5. If not, what program for optimization and animation abilities would you suggest.

Try PS and see how it goes. If not, Fireworks would be a good bet.

1: Yes

2: Yes

3: Yes. Each version of Photoshop is a seperate program, you could have several versions on your computer with no problem.

4: As 3, you can have a previous version for Image Ready, but as Bob says, a lot of the features are in CS4 (apart from export as swf!)

5: Photoshop!
