Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2007 6:09 pm Post subject: What tools we've got.
I thought it might be helpful if we listed what packages we've got so that everyone knows what we have available and when anyone asks a question they could state the program/s they have available to work on, so that replies can be fitted to individual needs.
I am running Photoshop CS2, Photoshop Elements 4, Coral Paint Shop Pro X and Coral Paint Shop Pro Photo XI (I also have PSP7, but it's been a long time since I last used it). I mix and match between them but PSPX is my main tool as it loads quickly and has most of the tools I need for much of the work I do. I save virtually everything in PSD format so that all the programs can talk to each other. I seldom, for example, use PSPIMAGE as it is a format exclusive to Coral and, in my personal opinion, useless other than if you want to save vector information in PSP, in which case you have no choice. _________________

Trying Capture NX trial at the minute along with Lightroom but not overhappy with either - but that might be me not understanding some of how they work and the trial is nearly over ...... not to sure I will be forking out the cash for either, seeing as cs2 does all I need with RAW _________________ -----------------------------------------------------
Thanks M8 thought it was about time I upgraded So CS3 Extended it was (came at the right price if you know what I mean ). Heres some Adobe workshop videos for CS3 if anyones interested. _________________

Just got hold of "trial" version of CS3 - loaded it and it runs like a snail compared to CS2 - bridge 3 looks ok (slow though), but only looked at around midnight last night, after I had loaded it - so need to play some more _________________ -----------------------------------------------------
