Should i move to cs4?

#22

Personally, I’m staying away from it. My company actually bought the Suite (mostly for AE and Premiere, which are decent updates), but I’m sticking with CS3 for now.

I just hate Photoshop’s new interface. The tabs just drive me nuts - they’re great for a web-browser where one never interacts between open documents. But in Photoshop… yeah… I like to drag stuff from one window to another. It’s become such a pain in this version. Does anyone actually use the program in the real world before it’s released?

I really wonder why they had to go with their own skin, too. It looks so cheap because it fails all the time and is incredibly inconsistent. It looks like some shareware.

Yeah! Up to you to make the switch. I am sure a lot of people who do more photography work would not care much for the rotate tool and such. I still feel CS2 was the best version around. Still at that time I was considering getting Corel Painter just to get more “painting tools” under my belt. That means an investment of more money for yet another app. A lot of artists are starting out and cannot afford the double-whammy.

I heard a lot of good stuff on SAI but never tried it yet.

I plan on keeping CS4 but I got CS2 on my old Dell laptop to fall back on.

PS if some of you want more suggestions on old school inking send me a personal message and I will unload all that I know. I might post a future thread on CG inking.

PSS…I crashed CS4 again this morning. Sigh!
