Smile need help on which photoshop to use

Hi all, I am just starting out and I am alittle confused on which Photoshop to buy. I have heard of "photoshop", "photoshop 7.0" and "Photoshop for screen printing". I would hate to buy the wrong program so any help from you guys would be great, thanks, marie.

I went from 7.0 to Adobe PS CS and Ive used CS2 and they all do what I need them to do.

If your looking to create or modify images and make t-shirts then any PS will work.

You could use whatever one is cheapest, depending on how long you want to do only text and simple grafix you might want to get a higher version so you have the capability to do all color seperatins

Hi -
I use Photoshop for ALL my graphics, but you can get even less expensive graphics applications if you're going to be doing mostly text. Also, you can find hundreds of free fonts to download online. Install them in My Computer > Windows > Fonts. It will help "Diversify" your graphics.

Default Re: need help on which photoshop to use

If you want to create designs a better investement would be a graphics software such as corel draw or illustrator as adobe photoshop is mainly a photo editing software. you can download trials of each and see if you like them or to see which one you like better, although you should download each one at a time so you can take your time getting to know some things about each one. Then when you find out which works best for you , you will know what to look for. You can also download a trial of the newer adobe photoshop and see if it will do what you want to do with your graphics.

PS 5.0 is really old. I don't think it even has the save for web feature. I wouldn't recommend it for, well, pretty much anything.

Depends on your needs, the people i am getting to print for me prefer illustrator min version 10, although if using photoshop you'll need to use high resolution, version 5 is old but i know v7 to be ok, cant spk for earlier

Also if the version you have is 5.5 I think, you can purchase the upgrade for really cheap and it would be worth it to have the newer version.

For doing text and simple graphics I'd suggest Illustrator over photoshop. Honestly, if you have both use both.

Regarding versions, use the latest stuff. As far as I know you can't buy anything other than CS3 anyway.
