I am using Adobe CS3 and it is excellent.

yes i also use CS3 for web designing ..its good for me

I've used CS4 and CS5...I see very little difference as far as my needs are concerned. I mostly use Photo-shop for my blog headers and some small graphics. You can't go wrong with any version

I am using CS4, it can do a lot of things.

I use Photoshop CS4 and get no problem. I have no issue with any version I've used so far. So I think all of them are great. But if you are an advanced user and access all features then the current version must be the best choise. Yeah right... that It's simply the best soft in digital imaging for me.

I'm still using Photoshop CS2, and it's more than adequate for my needs.

its Adobe CS3, because of having lots of tools and i never encounter a problem with Adobe CS3.

I am using CS 5 and I love it !!!

Anything CS2 or after is perfect for web design work. But if you are going to start doing things like photo retouching etc you may find that you can do more if you had a later version of photoshop. I personally used CS3 for the past few years and upgraded to CS5 a few weeks ago. From a web design standpoint not much has changed.

I have no problems with any version I have used so far. So I think all people are great. But if you are an advanced user, and access to all functions, then the current version must be the best choice.

i use CS2 i have that, and i am completely aware of each and every command of it

Unless you want to become an artist anything from cs3 above will be best, you will probably not use many functions in photoshop, depending on what you are going to design some of the older versions however might not meet your needs in the Animation or 3d area , I personaly use cs4 and cs5.

CS5 is my choice. But there really isnt that much of an advantage to staying on the latest version. Retouching is a little less time consuming with CS5.

I'm currently using CS3, it does all what I need it too pretty much but I do hear that CS5 is extremely good! Considering the upgrade!

I have Photoshop 7. The basic tools will get the job done 99% of the time.

I wonder they remove the image ready feature.

Me I would prefer cs2 because has it's own web slicing feature.

Actually speaking, Adobe ver 7 was the best, then came these advanced CS ver.. But If you start learning try latest version, if you are through with it, you are through with every version of it..

I currently use CS4 but I haven't had any trouble with cs3. I use photoshop as my primary tool for earning my income too so don't be suckered into the latest and the greatest without thinking about it. You can pick up a used copy of the software for dirt cheap on ebay or amazon.

Using CS4. I think you just pick one version (depending on your budget, the higher the better) and master that version.

I only use photoshop CS4 and I like it because it has best look and good features. I think to download latest version of it and want to compare with CS4.

Successors of Photoshop CS3, Photoshop CS4 first 64-bit Photoshop on consumer's computer (only on Windows - OS X version is still 32 bit.)</span>

Thank you, good answers!!! I also prefer CS4. It is really good. I create this in Photoshop CS4 http://www.websitetemplates.bz/image...late_1111m.jpg

I met a designer with 9 years of experience and he preferred Photoshop 7 for website design work

most updated

Adobe PS 5 Extended Version

So far PS CS3 Extended was the version I liked with regards to the breakthrough features it introduced. PS CS4 was OK but it didn't make me jump.
With CS5 you have advanced masking that works, HDR that works better than ever in PS (same for HDR, noise removal, etc), and painting that does what it is supposed to do Overall it covers many needs of pros and enthusiasts out there.

Anything CS2 or later is perfect for web design work. But if you're going to start doing things like photo retouching. is possible that you can do more if I had a newer version of Photoshop. I personally used CS3 for years and upgraded to CS5 few weeks ago. From a design point of view of web pages has not changed much.

If you can swing it I would recommend getting CS3 which is the latest version, however any version will work. I wouldn't go back any farther than version 7 though, since most tutorials now are based on 7 and newer, but if you dont have photoshop... get gimp.. its better than photoshop and you dont have to pay a cent...

I haven't used CS5 as I Buy my software and CS4 which I purchased works excellent!

I have CS2. Love it. Tried to upgrade once to CS3 or maybe it was CS4, but I did NOT like the look of it AT ALL. Any newer versions look like CS2?

any version will work my good friend, in fact the older versions are much faster in processing, less entanglement in the code and quicker in processing your data, e.g zooming, saving, panning, cropping, etc. unless you have a super fast computer then get yourself CS5

CS4 is great , It haws great features!

TBH all versions are pretty much the same... they just make things easier from one version to another.

What do you think about Adobe PhotoShop CS? It's one of the latest software versions. I use it and I would like to know your opinion.

CS4 is not bad at all. I am using CS4. You can try it.

I have used CS4, but now I use CS5

Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 is loaded with extras that will make any picture a real work of art.

I think Photoshop CS3 is good. I find it more easier and faster to work on it. I used CS5 but it sometime becomes too slow to work.

I bet CS4 and CS5

I am using CS 5 Master Suite and you can not go wrong

I am doing work on Photoshop CS3 and its good for me..

photoshop 7 is the best for me

I would Highly recommend CS3.

They use Photoshop CS4 as well as get no trouble. It had no issue with any version they had applied so far. So they think all of them are great. But if they are an advanced user and access all features then the current version must be the best choise.

Adobe Photoshop adds to the versatility of fashion design projects, allowing for to work with various bitmap images as well as imported Illustrator images. It can easily perform color changes in fabric textures such as denim, twill, or sweater stitches, as well as add realistic shadows and highlights to introductions without losing texture detail.

I am using CS4 . it's looking good . you can use it ...

I think in my opinion the best tool for the editing is the Adobe Photoshop CS5 with the best features of drag & drop as compared to other tool for the editing software.It also provides some advance features to control or to edit the clicked photos.

For making small graphics or headers... you don't need the latest version of PS. Any version should get the job done.

I am currently working with CS4. though there are some unwanted features like select tool going out of the work area, It give me lot other features, to mention one, deletion of the layers using del button which cannot be done in previous versions... there are lot more features added up in CS4... Good one the experiment with...

My vote is for PS CS4. I have been using it for quiet a long time and it sounds good. You can take a look at ma works. all were done using photoshop CS4

Now, out of everybody in this thread, how many people actually paid ~$1k for photoshop?

Not me I am sure most of them here don't. If you are looking for a decent editing tool for a free of cost, you can go with GIMP> It is a pretty good opensource graphics editing tool!

Adobe Photoshop is the world's leader in digital imaging software. It has been the industry standard design application for years, as well as with each new version it pulls further in front of its competitors.

I am using CS4 and it is really great!

How do you feel about the workarea? When you want to use your select tool, you canuse it outside your work area. but what is the use in that? any way I wont have any thing to select in that place. What is a need to have select access in that area? I find this feature as not good in PS Cs4.

I think Photoshop 7 is best for new users.
But now I'm using CS5, I find it more easier and faster to work on it.

maybe if you still learning about photoshop, i advice you use photoshop 7 after you get expert you can use photoshop cs2,cs3, cs4 & a new Adobe Photoshop CS5 because every photoshop many weakness and strong some one job what your doing..

Im using CS3, the newer versions have some extra features, but I do not believe that they have improved upon much for web-design related additions in my opinion.

Now, if you are using CS3 Dreamweaver, I know they have improved in the latest versions of that, for Divs, and Wordpress, and other things....

CS5 at the moment.

Right now i am using the latest version of Adobe photoshop i.e. CS5 (i got this software as a compliment from the Adobe company). It is really a great graphic designing software.

We used CS3 for a long time. We didn't bother with CS4, But now that CS5.5 is out we upgraded everyone to it and it's class.

I'm using CS5 but still have CS4, CS2 and 6.0. They all work great.

I am using cs5 it is the best..If you want to see my designs you can visit my site and have a look to the portfolio..so that you may come to know how cs5 designs look.

I Prefer latest version cs5.

Adobe Photoshop 7 was best ,faster but CS5 in 64 bit is man runs like ANYTHING.

currently am using CS5 great features and best for me.it is easier and fast.

Today I've downloaded CS6 [demo]. Pretty nice, try it too, visit Adobe.com to get the demo version.

I have had no real problems with any of the versions I have used, however personally I'm using CS5 at the moment.

I use CS5 and have never had a problem.

CS 5.5
I is a good program however the quick selection tool I think was more precise in 5.0 But yeah I like it quite a bit... More vector than it needs and I don't use most of the 3-D effects

Wait for CS6...its amazing.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 is the best in my opinion. I tried CS5, but not suit for me, make my iMac slower

Adobe Photoshop is the best software for graphic desiging and the best version of Photoshop is CS5 it has new and great option to make the design more attractive and creative ..!!

Right now I'm using CS5 but I think CS3 remains my favorite.
