okay, so i need a little help deciding. i'm about to download either photoshop cs3 extended or photoshop 7. i don't know which to get. i'll be using ps to make graphics. i just don't know which to get. suggestions?

CS3, its the newest one :]

Cs3 is definitely the way to go. It's the newest version so it'll have a lot that PS7 doesn't.

Like everyone else said, CS3.

Cs3, but is the loading screen quicker in CS3 or 7?

Probably 7? Ionno. I know CS2 > CS3 at the loading screen, haha.

That depends on your computer and memory and such.


CS3 to mess around with all the pretty new features. But 7 might be a little more user friendly if you're completely new at this.

My Trial period for CS3 just ended.

It kinda depends on your graphic style

Avatars/Banners: Photoshop/Illustrator CS2

For sure CS3. It's da bomb.

Extended gave me a shitload of viruses.

^Mine didn't.

I wish I could still use mine, though.

Get cs3, everyone usually starts out with 6 or 7 but cs3 has so many more options and its so much easier if you plan on making your own drawings or vectors in it that just aren't in version 7.

You must have went somewhere and downloaded the wrong torrent for it then to get viruses from it. o_O and if you bought it and got them, then that's something you need to bring up with adobe, which they'll probably laugh at you because you probably went somewhere bad online and got those.

Why would you even think about getting a lower version. The latest is usually always the best. CS3 all the way. Its more updated.

&"Extended gave me a shitload of viruses."

that's probably just cause you downloaded something that had viruses. Not that all extended files have viruses, just the one you got. So, if you were to download anything, you might as well get the latest one[:

thanks bunches guys. (:

Yeah, well that's what you get for downloading something with a 'shitload of viruses.' Don't blame CS3 for something you did to yourself.

cs3 is the bomb with 5 gb's of ram :D

Cs3 kicks 7's ass, though I used both for awhile.

CS3, I feel like it's a lot lighter but I'm not sure if it is or not.
