I was just wondering what you guys thought, I have CS and was wondering if the staggering price was worht the upgrade.

[adam123]

All the new features are pretty cool, but prices like that are just stupidly high and not really worth it. I may buy it off ebay if I have some spare cash.

Majority of you are lucky you get student discounts, I looked as CS I have also had a look at CS2 whoah you need a good PC to run that mama thats quite a huge proggie.

But if you want to stay up with the people next door upgrade it looks quite neat just a huge mother of a program now.

I dont believe its too worth it. Its all a matter on if you'll use the new tools or not. If you wont use em no need to upgrade. Plus in my opinion the new tools/updates arent worth picking it up/upgrading for if you already have CS.

[MalDON]

The only thing I saw was the perspective tool. other than that I have no need.

[Apache]

As far as i saw most of the tools are just new ones to help newcomers to quickly edit their pictures more or less. Also a new verison of the File MAnager (whch i have never used...) is availible

[Phazon Eater]

Yeah, it isn't worth it if you really aren't going to make much use of the new tools. I like it just for the fact that it has a preview of the fonts before you select them.

[Jamie Huskisson]

as far as i'm concerned, yes it is

as far as i can see most of you wouldn't benefit from the upgrade

its more a photography/illustrators upgrade

I've got versions 6-9.0, I have a special way of getting them

I'm going to assume what you're talking about. You can't discuss illegal dowloads in this forum.

Its DEFINETELY worth buying, its great!

[Jag]

Meh, I'm still on 7. As a student I simply can't afford to buy it. Lol.

[Ultragamer]

yeah, I'm on 7.0 too I'd like to get CS however, but dunno about getting the 2nd one.

I'm on CS, there is a program at my school thar gives me a HUGE discount on them!

[alexames]

yeah photoshop is very expensive, there is supposed to be a program called the gimp, which is like photoshop but free i think. Worth a try, i have never used though. I think PS cs2 is about £ 500 in the uk now.

[Jeepinator]

www.studica.com if you are a student. CS2 for 290 dollars

[Anywhere But Here]

For me, it's really not worth it. It all depends if you need the new tools, as raenef said.

no I didn't download them, there legit, the special way is called birthdays and parents

[edskii]

I've got it, but its not really worth it for me, I dont exactly use the new tools very much, but I just like being up to date with software

I'm sure if you have a proper web/graphics design job, it would become quite essential.

I don't have it, but My friend has it and when he upgraded from CS to CS2 it was a major improvement in his work! He is much better than I am!
