I got adobe photoshop elements 2.0, which obviously is very dated by now, and I'm gonna buy a new version of photoshop, there are lots on the market not just by Adobe and i was wondering what people would recommend. sorry if this threads been done before, i did a search and nothing came up. price isnt an issue, I want best performance.

Adobe Photoshop Elements is the worst version of Photoshop you can get, it isn't user friendly and is lacking in features.

Adobe Photoshop 9.0 CS2 is the best out at the moment... It has a lot more features than elements, and is more user-friendly...

I preffer to the old CS. and or number 7.

I have to agree with you there, I am, and always have, used Adobe Photoshop 7.0, CS2 is just as good though. I just don't have time to download it...

I'm not exactly an expert either so is it easy enough to use? (the cs2 version)

Should be alot more advanced than 2.0.........

so are we sayin, its gonna be a bit hard, i never fully worked out 2.0, (regreatably) just wanna be able to make my own sigs, avs, wallpapers and such.

A friend recommended JASC Photoshop, is this a good software?

Well then try Adobe Photoshop CS2 9.0, it is the best out at the moment, and once you have got used to it, then it's fine.

is it worth the money I will be paying for it?

I'm not bothered really, just wanna know, if it's worth the price tag

I love elements, I used to have CS, but I didn't like it. Unless you airbrush ladies for a living, then you don't really need all the features that CS offers you.
