Which version should I buy

I am very new to Photoshop and image editing. I want to edit photos for diy wall art such as adding borders, distressing, etc.
Can someone direct me as to which version I should purchase?
Thank you in advance!

If you have not used Photoshop I would suggest you start with Photoshop Elements not full Photoshop. Element has some hand holding which is helpful for novice users.  Photoshop is quite complex and all things are not intuitive.  You need to learn how to use Photoshop and it takes a very long time.  You never stop discovering how things are being done in Photoshop. Elements version 13 was just released it can be had for under $100.  It should do you for years and help you learn Photoshop's ways.
If you buy a wacom Intuos pro small $220 the through in a copy of Elements I received Elements 12 with them.  Perhaps the will change to Elements 13...  Using a pressure sensitive Pen with Brush type tools is much better then using a mouse.  You can have both Mouse and Pen atachec to your machine.

  • Which version should I buy? Standard or Pro?

    Hi,
    It is the first time I need to buy the acrobat, and since I can't have a free trial of the standart version, I would like to know if the cheaper one is enough for:
    *editing pdf's;
    *Easily converting images into pdf (from what I understood the standard does not convert ppt archives only, right?);
    *Merging and spliting pdf's.
    That should satisfy my needs.
    Thanks!

    You can print from any application to Acrobat, so if anything else you can print a PPT or other application file to a PDF. The following application chart might be useful: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html. It does not distinguish Std and Pro, so I am assuming it applies to both -- but that is just an assumption.

    The  wording is confusing. I just tried one of the DLs and it is working. Whether it will actually install now, I have no idea. If the activation servers have been disabled (because of a technical issue), probably not. Whether this is only temporary, I have no idea. I would think Adobe would just withdraw the entire page if they wanted. From the time this first appeared a few weeks ago until now I know it was working and could be installed using the provided serial #s. There was nothing about needing to actually have purchased it originally.
    Ginger:
    I downloaded CS2 from the Adobe site BEFORE this recent notice was posted and it is the only version that I have and use.
    The new notice is VERY confusing, because if you were a prior purchaser of it originally, why would you need their newly supplied serial number (which is what I use since I was NOT a prior purchaser. But again, when I downloaded and installed CS2 there was no such notice).
    I suggest that you see if it downloads, installs and works with that serial number, as free is always better than not!   (especially since it is known that iMac G5's are prone to hardware failure from bad capacitors! I had many of them...)

    I don't know how strict the OS requirements are. I do know that my old G5 iMac, even upgraded to Leopard, was able to run CS2. In fact, using Rosetta, CS2 still runs on my Snow Leopard.
    As you can see from the image, CS2 is running in my Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) environment in Parallels concurrently with Lion.

  • Upgrading från Final Cut Studio 5.1 retail - which upgrade should I buy?

    Some year ago I opted for the fulfil upgrade to the cross-platform version.
    Now I have the package Final Cut Studio 5.1 retail, with serial numbers. It has DVDSP4, FCP, Motion, LiveType, SoundTrack Pro, etc.
    There are two different upgrade packages to Final Cut Studio 2.
    One costs 499, the other 699. Which one should I buy?

    Yeah, I thought so too. But better safe than sorry and ask here first.
    Thank you!

  • I'm 51 years old and recently retired. I have a new IPad Air. Which MacBook should I buy to go with it?  I don't understand flash storage.  It feels like I would have a bunch of flash drives to keep up with.  Help an old lady out!!!

    Depends on how you want to use it. Flash storage on the newer macbook and macbook air are built in. A macbook air is the most light weight and a very good machine. It will do all you want it to do unless you are running some very intensive programs. If you go to the apple store on line you can compare  the different macbook pro" and macbook Air's.

  • Which PC should I buy?

    Hello~
    I want to buy a desktop PC or an All-in-one PC recently, but I don't know which one should I buy?
    I have a monitor and keyboard+mouse, maybe Nightblade B85 or Z97 is suitable for me, but is it have wireless network? 
    According to that, I consider maybe All-in-one PC is more convenient, but I love to play World Warcraft and Diablo III, is it can support to play these games?

    both has WiFi:

    http://www.msi.com/product/desktop/Nightblade-Z97.html#hero-overview
    Z97 is the better option if the extra $$ is not issue for you.
    Else:

    Look, any officially unlocked GSM iPhone will work in India. You purchase from Dubai, no FaceTime, and Dubai is part of the UAE. You purchase anywhere but India, and you will have NO warranty or support. Frankly, doesn't make any sense to me why you want to do this...and don't bother telling me you save hundreds of dollars...still doesn't make any sense. Do a forum search here. We get posts daily, from users in India, who didn't purchase their iPhones in India...guess what? They all have problems. You want to join that bunch? It's your money, have at it.

    which product should I buy? I want to create vintage/retro posters for band and Bar

    Good day!
    Instead of buying right away you may want to avail yourself of the free 30 day trial first to see which program fits your needs.
    Photoshop and Photoshop Elements may be worth a try.
    If you intend to create more graphic/typographic designs Illustrator may be worth looking into, too.
    Someone else may have more/other recommendations, though.

  • Flip4Mac: Which version should I upgrade?

    Hello everyone,
    I have Quicktime 7.0.4 Pro and I sometimes do need to import some *.wma "crap" into my footage (which then is edited by FCP). I guess I need to upgrade my Flip4Mac from the free version (currently 2.0.2). Could you please tell me which version should I go for? My choice would be one of Player Pro ($29), Studio ($49) and Studio Pro ($99). Which one should I pick and which version you guys are using the most in conjuction with Final Cut Pro 5? (The best value for money)
    Thank you very much for your guide in this matter, all the advices are warmly welcome.
    Cheers,
    James

    Pro lets you start with WMV and make QT (or in Toast you can use WMV as source files and make MPEG-1, 2 VCD or DVD etc.)
    The Studio $49 makes WMV from QT e.g. the other way around. Obviously Bill Gates gets a piece to use a WM encoder. This version has preset WMV settings.
    The last one does the same but lets you set custom encodes.
    If you are never making WMV and that is always a good idea, the $29 adds ability to use WMV in various apps and may be all you need.
