Home > Consumer Reviews > Adobe Photoshop 7.0 [OLD VERSION]

Photoshop 7 is currently the best cheapest edition of Photoshop out meaning it's great for teens/children like me to play around for a bit. I like to create comics, Draw Cartoons, and share them on the internet with online friends. I also run a small local online business with this program and Paint Shop Pro 8. Great graphics program this is. It can create dazzling 3-d effects and if you still aren't satisfied with all the filters and effects of such, you could always downlaod some cool ones off 3rd party sites on google. This is a great program to set that computer wizkid of your's imagination free. This program does get quite boring after awhile like all stuff does.

I've been a Photoshop user since version 2.0, I believe. At least 5 years of using this program have given me so many hours of enjoyment, education, and thousands of great graphics which I've used for everything from pamphlets, web pages, t-shirts, buisness cards, book jacket sleeves, and touching up family photos.

7.0 specifically is simply the best version of Photoshop yet. Heck, I was happy with 2.0! So you can imagine how elated I am with 7.0.

ImageReady is a great feature. It kind of a scaled down Photoshop. I especially like it when I need to do a "quickie"--a quick fix, or touch up, when I don't need to load up all of Photoshop.

Photoshop's place in graphical art is unequalled by any other program in any other feild. Nothing even comes close to Photoshop.

Photoshop 7 is a great program even for amateurs. It is not very user friendly, but there are classes and manuals available to help teach how to use all the amazing features of Photoshop.
When I installed the program, it bugged my computer (Windows XP) and I had to uninstall it to make my computer work again. Installing it in safe mode fixed the problem, however. Other than that, the program is definitely worth the money.

I've been using Photoshop for about 10 years, and I would humbly call myself an intermediate.

Everything I've used that's not Photoshop is just a cheap imitation with bits and pieces of photo editing taken from Photoshop, right down to the lasso tool and the magic wand.

But Photoshop isn't made for making quick flyers or greeting cards. It's made for--that's right--photography in its digital form. Professional photography to be used in publications and on the web.

Someday I hope to understand all the tricks and tools of Photoshop. But even if you have a basic knowledge of layers, the pen tool, fill, and an eraser (paintbrush if you're creative), you can do amazing things.

I'll never outgrow Photoshop. It's the gold standard of digital imaging (and, no, I'm not being paid to say this).

Adobe sets the standard in imaging and graphics applications. I have been using Photoshop both for PC and Mac for over a year, and would not even consider using anything else. Yes, there is a learning curve as my fellow reviewers have noted. But, tutorial books on photoshop are plentiful. I would suggest taking a non-credit course at your local college or university to get the basics down.

Photoshop features a vast array of tools for photo editing and you may become overwhelmed at first. You'll want to try everything! Play around with the artistic filters and amaze yourself. You can always undo any changes you make.

This is a professional grade photo editing suite. If you are simply looking to touch up family snapshots, you may wish to consider Adobe's Photoshop Elements, which has several features found in Photoshop, but for less than half the price.

Photoshop is truly a digital darkroom in a box!
