Preserved Topic: how do u feel

photoshop has a new virsion 6.0 now ,i dont use it yet
can somebody tell me what is the difference between 6.0 and 5.5,
do u feel better?

i love beatles

I use 5.0
... and I'm depressed.

I think RTFM would be a very useful phrase right here.

>>do u feel better

I don't know what you mean, but I feel quite shitty right now.

Yeah mahjqa, but how is someone supposed to read the fucking manual for a program they don't fucking have yet?????????????

It's a very fair question.....do any of you using 6.0 have anything to say about it? Do you like it better than earlier versions or not? (Do you feel better about *using* it mahjqa?......)

I still use 5.0, and I'm not depressed Taxon...it works just fine

I use 6.0. I moved to it from 5.0, never had 5.5. I like it. It takes some getting used to.

I have it too, and on the whole I like it a lot. I'm not entirely comfortable with the color management changes, and so haven't worked it into our day-to-day at the studio, but that's simply a matter of finding the time to do the research. A summer project maybe. But I feel good about the interface changes, I love the layer groups, I like the shaded crop tool -- I like it. Most of the "changes" strike me as evolutionary rather than revolutionary, but so far all of the changes I have encountered are positive. A little disorienting? Sure. So what else is new. They made it better, mostly in small ways.

well, you could have bothered to read OTHER threads on this board and found this one discussing ps 5/5.5 & 6

Hi vavanta, I think what la'dsasha meant was:
Hi, and welcome to the asylum...It's been around for awhile and there are lots of people here. You should really get into the archives when you have a chance. A lot has been covered. You may wish to perform a search through the archives before you post, so as to not post something that was recently posted. Welcome

oops... DL-44, I misread it. I thought he (she?) already had 6.0, but hadn't started using it yet... ouch. my bad.

oh no DL... I'm not depressed I have version 5... I'm pysched as hell to have anything at all as a matter of fact.
I said "I'm depressed".. because that is when I am in the most creative of moods.

No biggie... just thought I'd sum that up.

yeah taxon! PS 5 Rocks.

Indeed it does.

However.... my big bro is sending me either 5.5 or 6 in the mail right now in return that I make him a website for his indy film company... .. so I'll be updating soon. teehee

hey eye... did you say you were gonna get a new ICQ account or sumfin?..

Icq... um.... I had the program one time so i have a number, but I didnt like it. Maybe i am just far to accustom to AIM. heh.

ahh.... okie dokie.

I should probably add AGAIN... that I'm not happy at the loss of the piggy-demon.

to remind you... demons dont die.

YAY!

*sniff*
I don't wanna be the last fella on earth with PS5, can't you donate your copy to some non-profit-organization, taxon?

I'm < PS5.5 too.
Although I MIGHT get my deep-pocket, skin-flint employer to shell out for it -

THAT brings up an interesting question, howver ...
I work for an insurance company, and they actually think that
programmers should buy their OWN SOFTWARE!!!

What's the world coming to?

new virsion ,i think ,must have some NEW ADVANTAGES
SO ,I WILL USE IT NOW!

i love beatles

he he This thread got just a wee bit off topic didn't it?

I have PS 6 and I really like it.. PS 6 uses "Layer Styles" instead of "Layer Effects." Styles comes up in larger window with all the styles grouped on the left and the options on the right. You can save your styles for repeated use which is nice, you don't have to set up an action. They do however, take a while to load up. I was using a comp with 256 MB of Ram and it would take about a second to load the interface. I haven't played with styles since I got my new computer though.

Color dodge and burn blending modes are way different now, that takes a bit to get used to, especially if you're doing something you've gotten used to doing in 5.5. Another small thing I was annoyed with at first was that when you double click a layer in the palette it brings up the layer styles window instead of the options where you can rename. I like to rename my layers to keep track of them so thats a bit of an annoyance at first.

The paths tool is much better now it seems to me (or I'm just better at using it.) There is also the Liquify command which is kind of like Kai's Power Goo, but I haven't found a good use for it yet. That seems to be more of something they added to attract more beginning users.

The toolbar is arranged a little differently, no biggie there. There is also a horizontal docked bar at the top where the options for each tool show up instead of in a seperate window. That goes for the text tool too, no more seperate interface which is kind of nice.

Thats about all I can think of right now without PS right here in front of me. I really like 6.0 though, I would recommend the upgrade and then make sure you download the 6.01 upgrade from Adobe.

Have fun and happy PSing!

krets... you are a filter hound... and I forbid you to speak until spoken to.

*runs the "shutdefuckup" filter on taxon*

ahahahaha

deciding that someone should get bakc to the topic, 3p smiles, and says: "ps 6 rocks. lotsa fun, if you have the time to adjust to the changes"


person

*casually strolls in..*. fills bucket... * strolls out* FLAME ON eg

keep pouring your cash into adobe.. *draw a parallel to HMO's and PPo's*

its not the tool. but how you use it

i am very agree with u ,how to use it is more important than the tool itself.
just like a talent can use a 486 to invade a computer

i love beatles

I like that little thing in the 6.0.1 update that lets you right click to change brushes, and the pattette docking. Also the options bar is pretty cool.
C`mon , VP. Upgrading isn`t such a bad thing. * draws parallel to wagon wheels and steel belted radials * ( and crash protection )




If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done ?

Photoshop 6 have a new function: Layer style.
That you can make more cool effect and spend a little time.
It is a strong tool to all web designer.

*runs away screaming* I dont wanna upgrade.. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ... lol@ DB's wagon wheels and radials! heh ~Vp~

has somebody find something new about the channel?

i love beatles
