Hallo,
I would like to purchase one the discussed versions of Photoshop - but I am not really sure which one would be the right one.
I have read about
different versions of Photoshop CS3 - a standard version and an extended version. Can someone explain the differences between the two versions? Is the extended version generally speaking better? Or do you need it only for special purposes?
Adobe starts to confuse me a little bit
I would like to buy one of the software bundles (web / design creative suite standard / premium). Some of the creative suites are bundled with Photoshop standard, some with the extended version.
And so on with Dreamweaver - some of the suites are bundled with a standard and some are bundled with a professional version of Dreamweaver; but the differences between those two is not really explained.
Before I tried to make
gimp become my friend (the windows version) - but this attempt failed completely
It was unstable and I hate the fact, that every single file opens a new window - a funny game is to work with more than 4 files and menues at once opened. I also found a version of gimp, which tries to copy the standard "one window" style of photoshop (and like the most other software products). It is called
gimpshop - and yes, it managed to exceed the standard gimp version in two aspects. 1. It is only one window to avoid a complete chaos on your desktop. 2. It was even more unstable than gimp standard
Now I am working with an trial download version of
Photoshop Elements 6. This one works quite fine, uncomplicated and stable. For most of the work it is sufficient. You have layers, you can rotate images, change colors ... and a lot more.
For more complex work I would recommend
Photshop CS/2/3. I made a course working with CS2. If you know how to handle the software (what will probably take some time), it is quite powerful.
But now return to my question:
What is the difference between the standard and extended version of Photoshop CS3?
Any idea?
