I use PhotoshopCS3.

Poll Edited and Moved to Designer's Cafe. (Because its photoediting you may get more feedback there)

I'm still rolling on CS2. Don't really feel the need to buy CS3.

Before CS2, I used GIMP. I don't really use it much at all anymore, but I recommend to my friends who want a decent photo editor.

I use Photoshop 7. I'm definitely not paying almost 600 dollars for Photoshop CS2 or CS3.

but it is only one payment of 600 and itll last you for a few years

^Sorry, I don't have that kind of money to blow on a photo editing program.

I use Photoshop CS. I'd get CS3, but I just simple can't.. My dad won't let me use that much on a program that changes once every couple of years.

The upgrade is only $200 but I can see how that could get expensive if you just bought photoshop CS2

I use photoshop CS3 & MS Paint occasionally.
I have Illustrator, Flash, & some other Adobe programs, but I haven't had a chance to familiarize myself with them (they came as a package: 'Adobe Design Premium CS3')

I used photoshop cs2.

sometimes i use gimp to resize the image because it opens more quickly.

Photoshop CS2 at the moment.

I've been using CS3 for the last few months, but I recently switched back to CS2.

^Why switching back? I am going to get CS3 soon.

I am currently using PS CS2.

i use photoshop cs most of the time and sometimes i mite use paintshop pro. the cool part is that i got both of them for free!(dont ask how cuz i wont tell)

I use both Photoshop 7 and Photoshop CS2 [actually, that ones on trial so I'm just testing it out.]

Aside from Photoshop, I use and love paint. XD surprisingly.

I feel like I'm living in the dark ages with ps 7

I'm with Alvin, I just don't have enough spare cash to upgrade to CS

I use Photoshop 7 and only PS 7.

YOU ARE A PIRATE

I think a big 80% of graphic-makers on the web are pirates.

Why'd you switch back?

Archie - That limewire thing is awesomely hilarious to me. I wish limewire would work for me, I neeed more Mewzaak!

Anyways, I have Photoshop CS2.

i like to use photoshop cs. probably because its the only one i have right now xD if i had cs2 or 3 i wud probably like to use them :) and yea photoshop is my one and only lovee xP

I use Photoshop 9.

I don't use photo shop, I use Fireworks 8. I find it to be simpler. The only problem I run into is creating Backgrounds for things

I use Photoshop CS2, and I definitely didn't pay for it. Lol.
My dad got a corporate license for it from his work.

thats still pirating. That licscence is still only valid for one pc probably.

No, the license is valid for multiple PCs. If it was only valid for one, the registration code wouldn't have worked. Adobe has protection against multiple uses of the same license.

A corporate license means that many, many employees can use it.
It's probably not completely ethical for me to be using it outside of the company, but it's definitely not pirating.

You don't need to be so elitist about having paid for your copy. I would have bought it too, but I don't see the point in paying $600 for something if I can get it for free without blatantly breaking the law. ;)

I'm in love with PS, particularly CS2.... I'm not ahead of the game enough to have CS3. But I know Photoshop inside and out (and there's still more to know!).

EDIT: I'm using the licensed copy for the school district my parents work for, but as I basically work for the district myself as well, I don't see an issue with using the application on my own machine.

CS3 doesn't have Imageready... Why? WHY???

wrong. adobe has no protection whatsoever in multiple uses of the same license. if that was the case, then i would never have had cs2. and most certainly not have cs3 extended at the moment.

and btw, i use cs3 :]

Um, well Photoshop CS did, I assure you. Maybe CS2 and CS3 don't.

I know that firsthand....I got a license for CS from a non-profit organization (I was actually working for them), and it worked for a little while, but then it started telling me that the license had already been used on another computer. Even when I re-installed, it wouldn't let me use it... I think it might be that you can only install it on three or something, it might not be limited to only one computer. It might only be that way on the nonprofit license, even. But I'm telling you, the license was limited on the copy I had.

my b then. i never even had cs on my computer so i wouldnt know. but as for cs2 and cs3, they definatly did not have any protection on multiple licenses.

well, actually, they might. my serial key comes from my hardware id. not a license. so cs2 and cs3 might actually have somesort of protection on multiple licenses.

Arjuna: That pirate thing is hypnotizing. o.o I've had it on for like 3 minutes now.

Anyways, I have GIMPshop. -_-;
It's actually not that bad...I can accomplish what I want in it.
But I wish I had Photoshop CS2. >_>

I now use Photoshop CS3.

PS CS3, got both the design and web premium packs, if I had the money I'd definately pay for it, but I don't :P
Flame all you want, just the way it is.
CS3 Extended btw

I use Photoshop CS3 and PSP and GIMP...but it wouldn't let me vote for Gimp too. Hah. But I don't think I'll use it as much anymore because I now have animation with Photoshop.

you left out a lot of good program.
Illustrator (detail graphic design)
Indesign (heard it is web design friendly)

cs2

photosho cs2 for me =]
