    Hey everyone,

    I want to buy a photoshop product to alter car wheels, lights, colors and everything else. What product do you use?

    Cheers

    i love the fact that adobe software is the most pirated software, yet they still make a billion dollars a year. by way of answering your question, whatever is the newest version as i get it for free.

    I have two versions of Photoshop: 3.0.4 and 8(cs). Though version 3 is an older version, it does come in handy sometimes. I also use the Eye Candy series plug-ins for Photoshop. These will more than allow you to alter what you described.

    I'm not looking to spend $600, more like $150-$250 since I'm just a beginner.

    Cheers

    Photoshop 7

    Version 7 is probably what you want to aim for, it's cost is in your range and will give you everything you asked about and then some. Though it doesn't have the advanced shortcuts, upates and tools found in CS, it is still very much an high quality version of Photoshop and is STILL powerful enough to be worth its weight in gold if you wanted to start a graphic business. Search the net to see if there's an old copy for sale, Amazon might have one, eBay, etc.

    I use 7.0
    Haven't upgraded to CS. No need to really.

    I have both Elements and CS2 and find Elements much more user friendly. I usually do the bulk of manipulations in Elements and export it to CS2 for things I cannot accomplish with Elements.

    I highly recommend Elements, and it should be well within your price range.

    Best,
    Tad

    Agree. 7.0 works for me. Will probably mess with CS in the future, but 7.0 is a good photo shop to learn on. Widely available gratis on the Internet.

    I see Photoshop CS3 is already on Usenet in Beta form. Right now CS2 and V 6.0.

    I saw that and am looking forward to it's full release. Q1 2007 I think? It does irk me that I won't be able to do an upgrade from CS(I've heard only from CS2). CS works fine for me and I didn't see the need to go to CS2. CS3 looks great though so I'll follow the other lemmings off the cliff and pony up for it.

    If that's pretty much what you want to do, just buy the Elements. Getting a full CS package would be overkill. If you have a relative in school or a teacher there are education discounts.

    I'm not commenting on your PS skills, but you can buy the paints that Picasso used, the camera that Richard Avedon uses or the drafting tools that Frank Gehry uses but it doesn't mean your results will be anything comparable to theirs!
