crack smack.. i think photoshop should use a us dongle much like audio programs i use do. I'm not saying coming across software is cheap, by all means it's not. But if you intend on using it you should buy it. I equate it to Knowing there's a hot car on the mark.. say a nice Acura NSX, going to dealership researching it then going home withougt buying. Later that night you return it to the dealership steal it and drive it around.. what's the harm you only want to test it right?.. Later in the week while driving your stolen NSX you decide that it's not cool the seats are reclining corectly so you call the manufacturer and ask for assistance. .. *this is a blantant rant about the cubase.net forums...* but i'm sure it's tru with most software titles. Bottom line is be it software or hardware, stealing is stealing.

However .. beta software is not so big an issue in my eyes..... and maybe that's me having a double standard

just my usless 2 cents.. ;)

Hi,

Here's a feature often overlooked in the quest for reasons to upgrade to CS--Nested Layers. For me, this alone is worth the upgrade price, but there are also many other performance and usability enhancements that aren't easily detected from just looking :blink: at the UI.

Nested-Layer-Sets-I.gifNested-Layer-Sets-II.gif

A few more new features not mentioned very often, but still very useful:

  • Time Tracking for Billing Projects
  • High Quality Previews in the Lightbox
  • Full-on 16 Bit Editing
  • Photomerge Panoramas
  • Filter gallery for Viewing Multiple Filters Simultaneously
  • Color Matching Across Layers or Images
  • Pixel Aspect Ratio
  • Customizable Doc Presets
  • Export Directly to Flash SWF (ImageReady)
  • Customizable Help Menus
  • Color Replacement Tool
  • Conditional Actions

Would anyone here recommend purchasing Photoshop CS for a casual home user? I would like to learn Photoshop more but am not sure if this (rather expensive!!!) software is worth the purchase or if I should perhaps look into Photoshop 7 or even Photoshop Elements 2. :unsure:

stick with photoshop element 2.0

its like 90 CAD and it's way enough for 90% of ppl doing picture editing

Too bad that their full-on 16bit editing doesn't include the majority of their effect filters. That's weak.

:pinch: 3 things......

#1 16bit is mainly used for editing photos

#2 16bit is used to pre edit the photo before going into 8bit, because it has far more color/contrast info to adjust

#3 the "filters" will take up way to much memory and CPU resources to calculate the result in 16bit, because it contains way more info than 8bit.

i hope you get the point

Double memory, same CPU usage.

I want precision in my edits and effects, and it does matter when you work a lot on a picture, or add a lot of effects. Noise and color banding own you. That's why moving pictures (where you notice errors less than on still pictures) are processed at 16bit color channels since ages, or even floating point since recently.

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
