Home > Consumer Reviews > Adobe Photoshop 6.0 Upgrade [Old Version]

That Adobe Photoshop is the #1 image processing software is undisputed. But because less costly competitors like Corel PhotoPaint are catching up, I saw the need for a really big upgrade to secure the lead. But if you are looking for any breakthroughs, they aren't there. If you already own 5.5, I doubt you will need this upgrade. Other than that: a really great application.

What a great product. When it comes to image editing, if you can imagine it, with Photoshop, you can do it. If you are new to graphics/design I recommend that this be the first software you start to master. (if you aren't new, then you already know this) Not only is it powerful, its a great deal of fun to use.

Adobe has updated the interface. Now when you select a tool all of the options for the selected tool appear (you don't have to go to the pallettes as often). The selection tools and text handling are much better than previous versions. There are several other improvements that I haven't mentioned.

Using Photoshop is an art in itself. I've been using this product for several years now and I'm still learning.

I still believe that the use of the many filters that photoshop can use is it's best quality. You can now in photoshop 6 adjust th amount of memory you want photoshop to use from 1% - 100%. This allows for more addons and quicker loading time, although it is still much slower in loading than it's prior versions. Once you get through the loading process it's all downhill from there. Make sure you are running at least 64 megs of ram in your computer to use this. Even with it's fantastic ability to adjust the ram, if you are running under 64 megs than you may experience difficulties with response. Both my wife and I are designers and we love 6.0. The versatility of it is outstanding. Hope that helps. If you're going to get this product head over to...and download there trial version of eyecandy and xenofex filters. 2 must have filters.

Adobe has taken the absolute best image editing program and made it way better. Key to this upgrade is the new type tool - providing a much easier way to edit type than ever, and finally a great way to prepare optimized graphics for the web. There's also a lot of new brushes and presets you can create to automate your work.

I never upgraded to 5.5, and if you've been waiting yourself, wait no longer.

You will have to get used to new interface enhancements, though, which seems to be the case with any major upgrade to this program in the past.

All-in-all, this upgrade is definitely worth every penny.

This is a great one to start with. The Image editing software is tops. Helped me set up at portfolio.com. My favorite program with may extras.
