Meaning of CS?

I am very excited about CS5. I've been using Photoshop since PS4 and have updated almost every time but judging by what I have seen of the 'Content Aware' selection alone, going from CS4 to CS5 will be a worthwhile upgrade.

Welcome back Chris ;)

indeed it is...my wife upgraded to it a ehile back and loves it..

Although I have no use for it, she uses it a lot, and said the new interface has a fairly complex learning curb to it also.
 
I've been using Photoshop for many years now and I just can't bear swapping to anything else, free or paid for. Admittedly there is a rather steep learning curve, but you suddenly hit a point where everything clicks and it's plain sailing from then on.

For me it was discovering how to use layers for the first time. Once that handy skill has been mastered it's very hard to find something you actually can't do with the package.

I don't think CS5 is out until May? At least not 'over here'. But yes, Photoshop has a pretty steep learning curve. To be honest as I just use it as a digital darkroom for processing RAW files for my photography these days, there is a lot I don't use and some of what I do use comes from a 3rd party Plug-In. But it's absolutley what computers were invented for as far as I'm concerned and an essential piece of software.
 
CS = Can't Shop ... it happens to us older folks ..

and its soon followed by

CRS which means Can't Remember S*it .... :wavey:

Hope that helps, but since I suffer from CRS I'll have to come back to this thread to remind myself, if I can remember where to look!

I'm such a "stick in the mud" even though I had Photoshop CS4 installed for years, I still insisted on using Photoshop 5.0 LE simply because I was so "used to it..."

...once I did break down and study Photoshop CS4, I've never opened the "antique version" again. In fact, I have bothered installing it on my current development computers. :bump:

It's pretty obvious

Photoshop Costly Software

:d I think that's the best definition I've heard yet!

But yup, at Adobe it stands for Creative Suite.
Both Dreamweaver & Photoshop (along with Bridge) share a common "suite" type of interface, similar looking and a lot of common tools and layout features. I assume the rest of the CS family does too, these are the only three that I have and use.

I've recently replaced CS2 with CS4 on my Win7 rig. It's provided by work so I was able to avoid the "costly" part.
I do like CS4 better than CS2 but I've only scratched the surface of what Photoshop can do and quite often I still use my own copy of PaintShopPro for my graphics stuff. Just what I'm more familiar with...
