So I have ancient photoshop 5.5 and wasn't planning to get a new version because it is like 700 bucks. But I was informed somewhere (nevermind about this post if I'm wrong) that as long as I have the liscence I can get the next version for like 50 bucks. If that is true, then I'm definetly planning to get photoshop 7 or photoshop CS. I haven't really looked at the photoshop website yet (I'm sure you guys will give me better answers anywas), but all I really know is that CS is a lot different than 7 and 5.5. It isn't just an upgrade with more features. It is re-formated. I, who doesn't really like change in my computer stuff (for example switching to GIMP or to LINUX), am worried about getting it and not liking how it is set up. I love how photoshop 5.5 is set up and I'm so used to where everything is. So my question is, which do you prefer? Why? What are the pros and cons for each? Does CS have more features than 7? If it does, than it is either, more features and same format, or lots more features but different format. Is it really worth switching formats (especially if you really like the 5.5 one) for all of the extra features? Thanks in advance.
