I want to teach myself Photoshop online with version 5.0. Advisable?

I am totally new to forums and Adobe Photoshop. I intend on going online to a free tutorial site to learn how to use Photoshop.
My intentions are to purchase version 5.0 to use for the tutorial. Would this be OK? I will only have to pay $30 for this version.
Thank You so very much for any help that you can provide!

Actually, the "PS" does stand for Photoshop. There are two different programs, with Photoshop in the name, Photoshop (now up to CS5), and Photoshop Elements (now up to version 9). They are similar, and one could probably refer to Photoshop as Photoshop Element's "big brother." The full Photoshop has more functions, controls and capabilities, than does Photoshop Elements, which also has some easy to use buttons and presets, so the user does not need to know the specifics of some operations, quite so much, as with the full-featured Photoshop program.
Then, and for video editing, there are two Adobe programs, also with similar names, Premiere Pro (now up to CS 5.5) and Premiere Elements (now up to version 9). Again, those are similar, but Premiere Pro offers much more power and flexibility, while Premiere Elements offers more "easy" solutions with buttons and presets. Often, one can get very good prices on a Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements bundle - often getting the both for about what they'd pay for just one of the two programs. Those two programs also interface nicely with each other, as many users will do SlideShows, and similar where they combine Still Images and Video.
Good luck, and hope that clears things up a bit.

Basic vid work starts with the NLE or "non-linear editor" (too long to explain the name!) such as Premiere Pro. That's where you set up your timeline and do the basic chopping/blending of bits into the greater whole.
If your footage is the same as your needed output, great ... but if you're going into a specific output frame-size like this you might need to set your sequence settings BEFORE adding footage. Use the above list and only worry about frame-rate (the 29.97) and frame size/ratio of 1280x720 first.
Depending on how involved you need to get, you might use Speedgrade for "grading", the modification of the look of the footage ... color, contrast, gamma, all that ... and perhaps need to add graphics or "lower thirds" in After Effects. Both the later are complex programs in their own rights.
I checked out that link ... those ads are fairly complex bits of work. Some of the ones were mostly or all created with "stills", still-camera images placed on the timeline for set periods of time. Somewhat easier in some ways to work with for this as a starter as you can fit them to any crop you need. Others were a mix of stills and moving footage so those do take some care in what the original footage was shot at compared to what the requirements are you'll need to output it as. I think this would be MUCH easier to do on a timeline set for that frame-size to begin with, and conform any non-conforming footage to that on import to the project.
Next ... wow ... the graphics for these are pretty nice, and keyed for moving, transparency over vid below ... that sort of thing. That will take a few questions here or over on the AfterEffects forum I'm thinking. That could easily be the hardest part of this job. While some level of graphics can be made within PrPro, Ae is really much better for that sort of thing. And those are well past my experience ...

Photoshop CS6 with version 13.0.1. to download

I spoke with Chat yesterday (waited for lcose to an hour)
this is the link she gave me to get an older version of Photoshop, more compatible with my laptop than newer version.
http://trials.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PHSP/13/win32/Photoshop_13_LS16.7z
When I used this it was unaccessable.
I recall her saying it was to Light... but I needed to select Photoshop from there and then download. Now I;m lost. I need a link to get the referenced Photoshop for Win t 64bit. My Dell 1520 has a video card that cannot be updated.
Thanks Debra Long

Streamline with Version 10, please advise

I will be working on projects including scanned line art, need to convert to vector. Used to use Adobe Streamline to this. I will be on a Mac OS 10.3.9 with Illustrator version 10 and I can't find out how to make these conversions. Please advise if this is possible with vers 10. I'm stuck (dead in the water) until I figure out this problem!

Thanks, Rene. I needed the confirmation that it couldn;t be done in vers 10 and that Streamline isn't available. I'll check out vectormagic, hadn't heard of it. Been a while since I needed to "streamline" things. I appreciate your tip.

Please help-I was just informed I cant activate my CS software through Adobe?!!! What a pisser-I lost my desktop to a virus, I got a new one and refuse to ever go online with it. I put @Photoshop in, it wants an authorization code that Adobe says "CS is too old so please go to our forum for help"... So I am here Ladies and Gentlemen. I really need help on how to reactivate my software and without the use of the internet (last time I tried online, ended up doing over the phone which is no longer offered...) that cost me several hundred to begin with-I am upset @Adobe won't activate it-why? I don't know. But please, if someone out there knows what I can do to overcome this, I would be very grateful. Thank you for all help and taking the time to reply.
Peace, John Shea

If you purchased it as a download you should have a link to download it in your Adobe account online. Otherwise you can download the trial version and use your serial number to activate it.

An alternative site for downloading the trial version follows but you need to follow the instructions carefully for the download to work.

Can I obtain a CD-ROM with the latest revision of Adobe Reader for a Windows XP system w/ Service Pack 3. I do not want to go online with this system. I have dedicated it to read all of my PDF Files only.

I have 4 computer systems, 2 of which run under Windows XP w/ Service Pack 3. I have dedicated these systems to the task of reading all of my PDF Files which I have collected from my recent college career. The desktop system I want to use is an old Dell Optiplex GX240 with Acrobat Reader 4.0. The other Windows XP system I have is an old HP Laptop with Adobe Reader 8.1.4 installed. I want to update both systems to the latest version that is available for Windows XP w/Service Pack 3 installed. So, because I do not want to place these system online, would it be possible for me to obtain a copy of the Adobe Reader software I need on a CD-ROM? - Ken DeWitt, a 68-Year-Young Vietnam Veteran and recent college graduate...Summa Cum Laude.

Adobe is moving from the purchase of a license for their software to the renting of it. I'm old school so I'd prefer a perpetual license. But you already have a subscription to Illustrator so I guess it'd be advisable to look into whether expanding the subscription to include other software will save you some money. Also I remember something about Adobe adding features to its Cloud version which aren't also added to the licensed version and a different way of handling updates and upgrades. Indeed, Adobe states that CS 6 has reached the end of the road. So if you're going to stay with Adobe, you may very well be stuck.
I'd suggest spending some time in the Adobe Communities. You'll likely find people complaining about choices they've made that you'll have to make too. Let them be the beta testers.

HELP. 3 years ago I purchased cs3. I had troubles with registering the serial number and used my university's suite instead, and (stupidly) did not sort it out. I am now wanting to subscribe to the online creative cloud with my cs3 discount. Is there any way to find / prove that I had purchased cs3 and locate a serial number? On my Adobe account it does not show my purchase of cs3 (I am guessing because of the trouble with registering my serial number). I have moved house 3 times since the purchase and am unable to locate the packaging or disk. Is there any way to prove my purchase without any serial number or showing under my Adobe account? Please help! Thanks

The CS3 discount offer is only for retail online product, it does not include education or volume license purchases. Refer to Terms and Conditions | Adobe
To check whether you had retail CS3 purchase, we need proof of purchase as well as serial number, without which the issue can not be resolved.

1) Apps are not part of the backup, only data stored by 3rd party apps. But you can redownload the apps for free again if you use the same account you did when you bought them the first time. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
2) See this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 and find out what's in your backup.
3) Backup your itunes+ library (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1382 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751), which will copy your Mobile Applications folder, and save your iphone backup folder as well
In other words, maintaining a backup of your computer is essential.

Hi mansons67992701,
No purchase is required to install Flash Player. The offer you're seeing is optional. There should be a yellow 'Install Now' button on the bottom right of the page. Is the button not displaying? Please post a screenshot of the page (How to post a screenshot in the forum).

My Windows7 PC just crashed. I have the files backed up online with Carbonite. I want to buy a Mac I book. Carbonite says it cannot download pc files to a Mac. Is there a solution?

Brilliant, that clears things up - there is a single
audio in that is next to the PC in so I guess I need
one of the single cables you have mentioned,
hopefully the Apple Store can point me in the right
direction when I go in to buy my Mini.
If the TV has a single minijack-type audio input, then the cable you need is a very standard one that can be found almost anywhere that cables for audio/home theatre systems are sold. In the old days it would be easy to point you towards the nearest Tandy, but as I understand it they're now gone. However, even supermarkets such as Tesco are likely to have something this basic!
No doubt Apple will release an Intel Core 2 Duo
version the day after I pick it up.
There's no doubt that at some point Apple will revise the range and make new mini's faster or more powerful - and it may be that it happens next week at the Macworld Expo. I'd bet there are a few people holding on for a few days to see if new minis are announced there, and you might want to do the same if it's of concern, but the existing models are plenty powerful, and more than enough for most user's needs.
Thanks for all your help, much appreciated.
You are most welcome - and please come back and post again if you have any further questions or any problems once you've got your system!
