How do I know which photoshop CS is best for me?

Hey now..  I'm having a hard time deciding which CS is best for me. I'd love some advice. Here is some information about me and my business.
My husband and I own a small screen printing business. We have been in business 8 years and we mostly print our own designs.
I am the graphic artist, he is the printer. I LOVE my photoshop 7.0. It gets the job done but I'm needing more but not too much more. For example, I'm wanting to type my text in a spiral without having to piece together and resize every word or letter. I know I can save time if I upgrade but I'm not sure what to upgrade to...
I've been told CS3. Will that be enough? if so, what is the difference between CS3 professional, standard, dreamweaver?
Help? and Thanks for your input/advice!

As a business, and with the sort of work you are doing, I would try to get the $10 a month Photography deal.  You would get tax breaks on the cost of Photoshop, and be able to produce some very cool designs with ease. 
Look through this long list of tutorials.
http://tv.adobe.com/show/learn-photoshop-cc/
Check out:
Scripted patterns and fills
Design Improvements
Any of the 3D tutorials
The 'Painting drawing and type' subsection.
And anything that looks interesting.  The difference between Photoshop CC and the very old Version 7, will astound you.  Some of it will take some learning, but this forum will always be here to help if you get stuck.

  • HT1635 How do I know which Hard Drive to get for my MacBook 2006? The old Hard Drive is a Toshiba (MK8034GSX) S/N Z6APT2XUT 9H5 EC. A?

    How do I know which Hard Drive to get for my MacBook 2006? The old Hard Drive is a Toshiba (MK8034GSX) S/N Z6APT2XUT 9H5 EC. A?

    I've put a 250gb 7200rpm drive in an Early 2006 with no problems.
    For a new hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives&Order=PRICE
    Or OWC  http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
    Here are instructions on replacing the hard drive in a MacBook with a removable battery. http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
    To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.
    Here's a cheap SATA external hard drive case on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/HDE-SATA-Hard-Drive-Enclosure/dp/B001AAVA08/ref=pd_bxgy_pc _text_b
    If you don’t have the tools to open up the MacBook OWC has a set for $5

    1) Stop using the bold and italics tags all over
    2) What do you mean by streem? Stream perhaps?
    3) Study material can be found on the internets, free of charge. The sun java tutorial is a good start.
    4) This forum is a suitable place for asking specific questions

  • How can I know which IP port is free for use?

    I am doing a internet project that the sender need to send voice at a port and receive the voice from another port.
    I want to assign the port to the send function and receive function automatically, so I want to use some API to determine which port in local machine is free and assign that one for the function.

    If you bind to port 0 the system will assign the next available port to you.

  • How do I know which airport card to purchase for ibook 14.1 LCD 900 MHz

    I just bought a used ibook for my son and he wants to connect to our home wireless network. I can't tell if I need an Airport card or an Airport Extreme card. Do I need the Airport base station or will the card enable it to connect to any wireless network/hotspot?
    We have 3 desktops and been faithful Mac users since the the very first one but I've never had so much trouble even trying to figure out what model this laptop is!

    I just bought a used ibook for my son and he wants to connect to our home wireless network. I can't tell if I need an Airport card or an Airport Extreme card.
    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu; if the computer has a G3 processor, it takes the AirPort card, while an iBook G4 takes the AirPort Extreme card.
    Do I need the Airport base station or will the card enable it to connect to any wireless network/hotspot?
    You can use any base station which supports the 802.11b or 802.11g protocols. An AirPort card cannot use 802.11g.

  • Which photoshop is the best for me ?

    I currently use Photoshop CS and I need more functions. I need a photoshop where I can make 3D which one is good and I also have a small budget. I have 120$. Thanks for answering my questions.

    Suggest you try Blender.....a free 3D program which renders images you can then use in Ps.   You can do much more 3D in Blender than Ps ever thought about doing.  There are low cost 3D programs that are easier to use than Blender.  Search for 3D programs in Google

  • Which battery was the best for endurance for Satellite A100-999

    Hi
    I have just been given an A100-999 and I wanted to know which battery was the best for endurance.
    From what I have seen it is the pa3400u-1brs but i just wanted confirmation as I am planning to buy it in Japan as it is probably cheaper.
    Also, is there any information on how long this battery lasts?
    thanks

    Hi there,
    this battery would fit for your machine 100%. I have the same one in almost the same machine. Dont worry, just buy it.

  • Adobe Cloud has 2 different Muse programs.... how do I know which one is the newer better version?

    So I am new to Muse, and my Adobe Cloud has 2 different programs from Muse... how do I know which one is the newer better version?
    One Must program (Muse CC 2014.2)  has a black background when working on it... it looks like other Adobe programs such as Photoshop.
    The other one is light color (Muse CC) very similar to the black color Muse on functions.....
    One of the difference I notice is that the light color Muse has a few widgets in the library, while the black background Muse seems to have an empty library
    So... why are there 2 different Muse programs in my Adobe Cloud?

    Hi
    The latest version of Muse is 2014.2, so you need to uninstall another version of Muse manually.
    regarding the items in Library, you can add items in your library manually, as shown in this article
    Adobe Muse Help | Organizing and reusing design elements using Library panel
    Please let me know if you have any other query.

  • I'm a beginner and would like to know which Photoshop to use (so many options). The only edits I care about being able to do are: whitening teeth, smoothing complexions/taking away blemishes.  Does any photoshop have these options? I haven't been able to

    I'm a beginner and would like to know which Photoshop to use (so many options). The only edits I care about being able to do are: whitening teeth, smoothing complexions/taking away blemishes.  Does any photoshop have these options? I haven't been able to find the teeth whitening one anywhere. Also, I don't want it to lessen the high quality if my photos.  Thank you so much!!

    Hi Erika,
    I came to Lightroom quite recently (in the last month!)  from Photoshop Elements 11. I like the organization features in LR better, but for adjustments such as the ones that you mentioned I would leave LR and go back to Photoshop Elements 11, primarily because that is what I know. I don't use the subscription service, mainly because I already owned and installed the boxed version of Photoshop Elements 11 and adding it to a subscription service with Lightroom seemed redundant. I am sure someone in the community will (or has) comment(ed) that it is possible to whiten teeth and cure blemishes within LR, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Check out the TV Adobe free tutorials, particularly Julianne Kost's tutorials. She has a good presentation style and you might find the LR answer that you need with detailed instructions.

    Depend on which country you are in btw, for the US this should be 61 black and 61 tricolor. For most of europe this will be 301 black and 301 tri color. So to be sure tell me from which country you are.

  • HT1451 If I have two iTunes libraries on one computer, how do I know which one is opening when I click on the iTunes icon on the desktop?

    If I have two or more iTunes Libraries on one computer, how do I know which one is opening when I click on the iTunes icon on my desktop?

    You cannot.
    When you sync to a new library, it will erase the current content.
    Use your backup copy of the old computer to copy everything to the new one.

    can you have multiple Apple TV's in the same house and network? If so how do you know which one to pick from your Idevice?

    Yes, there are even defaults for naming them, such as LivingRoom, Bedroom, etc, or you can even enter your own name with the remote for each AppleTV.
