Wolfen Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: Minnesota Insane since: Jan 2001	posted 08-03-2003 10:46 Ok, since I left my ex, I had to downgrade a bit from photoshop 6 at his place down to 4 here at my parents. It sucks big time because I have been used to using the updated features, (like the History window... I miss that!) I do have to ask, is Photoshop 4 still considered pretty good to work with this day in age even on the net or on print? Or do I really need to update, (which is IMPOSSIBLE because of 1. no job, 2. NO MONEY, 3. big bills) or am I ok for now? I still use Mac OS 9.2. What I had at my ex's was the PC version for one, and two it was borrowed from a good friend of mine.

You'll get used to the differences over time, and I'm sure you'll find that you can produce the same quality work with only a little extra difficulty after a while.

If you save your project alot, and every time you make a major change you save a new version you really don't have anything to worry about. The biggest problem i remember was that saving pictuers for web usage was a little of a pain.... But still, it is a rock solid program.

Wolfen Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: Minnesota Insane since: Jan 2001	posted 08-06-2003 04:16 Well, speed is not longer a problem with me. I got a nice processor upgrade card. Now an only beige g3 266 is now a rocket G4 500. I love the speed on it. Now it runs Photoshop, Illustrator, Poser and Audion flawlessly. I love it. Best christmas present I got.

I'd be happy to have a software downgrade to Photoshop 4 ...
as long as it came with a self upgrade to Creativity 10 ...

Really though .. have you seen some of the work Kai Krause did, way back in the days of PS2 ?? I doubt there's really anything particularly innovative from PS5 onwards.
