Photoshop 8.0

[psYcl-loSe]

I've got the new Photoshop guys and It's AWSOME!

[tomwarren Veteran]

Yes, please don't post any dodgy links to warez or requests etc. It was leaked late last night. It's not too bad but doesn't load as well as 7.01

mine is sitting at home just waiting for me :)

[Jaxbulls]

Got any new features that you are liking???

[dougkinzinger]

Yay for you Psyclwhatever dude. Did you buy it?

[DiEMOS]

yea its nice, i got it as well, I love the new filter previews and stuff. Though for me some shortcuts dont work like CTRL+Z (undo) or CTRL+D to deselect. Other then that its great.

[Schmoove]

I have it too, the Paradox release.... though I can honestly say I HATE it!!

It is better then 7.01 in almost any area, it loads just as fast and has more features.

But for some STUPID reason (could be the crappy crack) it doesn't respond on keyboard shortcuts. If I use CTRL+Z or CTRL+X or whatever keyboard shortcut it just doesn't respond.... it does nothing.

Also the shortcut remapper function doesn't work at all.....

I uninstalled it and reinstalled version 7.01, because this way I can't work with it.

I think photoshop 8 will not be as good of an upgrade as 5 was to 6, the worst upgrade was 6 to 7. its nothing. the one that is gaining most ground is paint shop pro and photoimpact. I got microsoft Photo suite as a gift and it rocks if you add plugins, you can even add plugins which u use in photoshop ussually

Look eh.. if you didn't follow Paradox instruction and just run Photoshop CS, all the keyboards shortcuts would work.. and once you apply the patch, the keyboard shortcuts would fail (all the keys start with Ctrl)

So yeah their crack is messed up.

Once again, you got the warez, so you deserve all the impairity..lol

Paint Shop Pro went from being a nice simple image editing program to being a crappy version of photoshop.

Photoshop without keyboard shortcuts would not be fun. :(

[djsaad1]

is this a final or a beta. i was just wondering cause it seems to have some bugs.

[malebolgia Veteran]

So is it really worth buying despite the name? :whistle:

[Tai]

hmm ... wonder what it looks like .... :shifty: :shifty: :shifty: :shifty:

[chema]

Yeah, some screenies would be niceeee :p

[+StevoFC MVC]

i still use 6. not a big enough change since then to make me want to use a newer one.

Been exploring it and I have to say no.... it is not worth to spend any money to upgrade I think.

Frankly the step from 6 to 7 wasn't really worth it either.

Let's face it, Photoshop is definitly the best in its class, it is unmatched at the moment and therefore it is hard and maybe too hard to make it even better. Not saying PS8 is bad, absolutely not, it is definitly better then 7, but I don't think it justifies the 169 dollar price tag for upgrading. At least not for most people.

True professionals that work day in day out with PS might see the new version as a usefull upgrade, but the regular (home) user doesn't really need it.

Lucky me, I can buy it for $40 (well probably in 2 or 3 months from now) on a student license easily at school so I will surely upgrade.

Look eh.. if you didn't follow Paradox instruction and just run Photoshop CS, all the keyboards shortcuts would work.. and once you apply the patch, the keyboard shortcuts would fail (all the keys start with Ctrl)

So yeah their crack is messed up.

Once again, you got the warez, so you deserve all the impairity..lol

Oh I fully agree. Just saying that without working shortcuts it is kinda useless for me.

It is probably the crack like you say. The full and legal version will rock, like all versions of Photoshop did.

I will definitly buy it when I'm able to get it with a student license.

In the meantime I'll just use version 7 or when I can get my hands on a working warez copy I will use that.

[giga Veteran]

come on ppl...post some screens...

and is this final or beta?

[OPaul]

Is 8 any faster loading and operating then 7? Or even 6.

[Demogorgon]

I'm not sure, but ive heard the Paradox release will expire in a few days as well... looks like PDX really screwed this one up. :laugh:

[acidic-e-]

For me it's loading fast. But no it's not worth the upgrade. I did buy ps7 cause I liked it alot. But this the only real diff I'm noticing is a few new ways of viewing things (not a big deal) and the new load screens) Other then that it's not worth the money they want for it. Oh and yeah I hate the activation.
