This is the version I learned on. I can say I'd go back (why would I?) but it was a great product to learn on.

I like it for touching up photographs and for cropping and sizing my art images for printing. It is also good for adjusting colors of your files when your print does not match your original artwork. Dennis

love the program, have CS3, need to learn it but need computer upgrades. for the money photoshop never fails me....

the program i learned with. it was great for me then, and it's still great for me now. i would never abandon this program for a newer, shinier upgrade. anything can be done with this program.

Photoshop is the only software I use now a days for design of all types, and I prefer it to other programs that I have used. Photoshop is easier to understand, and more professional than PaintShop Pro (which is a lot cheaper). PS also has better design standards and presets that are always useful.

EVEN THOUGH THIS IS AN 'OLD' TOOL EVERYONE SAYS ITS GOOD. IDIDN'T HAVE IT YET, MAYBE SOME DAY WILL BE MY LUCKY DAY....

An amazing price for an industry workhorse. This version of Photoshop with an old Wacom tablet and a used white, iMac running Panther, would make a great startup rig for any artist. And, for thousands less than brand new.

I still use this app on my old G5 (it runs both Cassic and Tiger) because, all my old Kai Power tools only work under system 9.

this is the imaging software I am cutting my teeth on. CS3 is more user friendly but 7 makes you think a bit more

I use this software occaisionally but I find myself opening my GIMP program first... sometimes when GIMP freezes I can finish my work on this...

This product has everything I seem to need for the items I design. Great product and great outcomes.

Personally i learned on 5.0, got this when it was new and it has served me very well. only real difference i can see from this and the newer versions is a wider variety of special effects and filters. the basic tools, even if upgraded, are similar enough that this version will work for most users.

priceless for photo-manipulation and painting. for me version 7 (thus far) has been the pinacle of the series.

This is a great product. When I started graphic's, this was what I learned from.
Again, with creative know how you can make it work.

It's my main program and I love it. I'm a self-taught user and I love the variation trial-and-error can bring. I use it for digital painting and setting photographs.

The best program ever! Started creating there and still using. Lots of plug-ins and, with right skills, no less possibilities than newer versions of PS :)

Nothing makes a picture better than Photoshop. Love it a lot and use it often!!!

I use this program constantly. It's easy to use and very versatile.

This program does great things to enhance and edit photos and is a must for graphic design.

This program is easy to use and fun to explore.

This is one of my most favorite software programs period they continue to impress

Marvelous product. One can spend hours of fun with it. It is amazing how the different manipulations can produce different emotional and visual responses through visual simulations alone while also affecting the psychological aspects of creativity. Highly recommended, and a must have for any artist today.

Out of all the versions I have used, this is still my favorite. It doesn't lag, works quickly, and you never have any down time with this version.

A very good product. Overpriced, but I am a gimp user. I do have this, but I use Gimp more often, and that was free.

I love this program. I have been using this program for years and I am still learning new things. It is great for touching up old photos and creating art.

All that I've got, all that I use, minus pencil, paper, and a tablet. Hah, this is what I used to teach myself the basics of photoshop. Amazing product..

this version is really great ! fun !

I can do just about anything with this product. I have had a few issues with tutorials online that use different versions of photoshop.

Great beginnings to the current integration of vector abilities. I am stuck with this version until my new MacBook Pro with Master Suite CS4 arrives. But until then, it is great for what I need. I can ALMOST get by with my lack of AI CS4 for the moment.

While lots of people prefer Adobe, I found it a bit difficult to learn. I made much faster progress with Paint Shop
