How difficult is photoshop cs to use... OMG! - GoFuckYourself.com

italianninja · 05-30-2004, 11:52 AM

Its really hard. I have used fireworks all my life. But today i though i would have a go at photoshop cs, cause its the best isnt it.

it may be the best but its effin hard to use. all these keyboard short cuts etc, man.

could do with pluging to make all the cool text effects, cause i read a couple tutorials and cant do any of them

any advice, any real good (for dummies like me) tutorial sites out there. anyone willing to talk to me on icq about photoshop cs, all geeks welcome. 309196660

bluedevil · 05-30-2004, 11:57 AM

never change unless CS magically grows a head and sucks my cock

You just have to get used to the interface ... and it's very easy to use seriously when you don't know any other graphic program .

And not harder then any other photoshop versions

jackson · 05-30-2004, 11:59 AM

yea im still using 7.0 i haven't had a chance to use CS yet..

good tutorials i dunno if they have an CS ones but

Doctor Dre · 05-30-2004, 12:00 PM

And for text effect, type some text (it will automaticly make a layer).

Go to the layer small windows, right click and there is bending options .

Here are the effects, no need for a plug-in . Most designers rarely use plugins in photoshop

sexsup · 05-30-2004, 12:00 PM

Maybe difficult but really good

Designsbymark is good too

Samantha_xox2000 · 05-30-2004, 12:05 PM

Phtotoshop 7.0 is good enough i think

scottie0779 · 05-30-2004, 12:09 PM

Dude... i hear ya. I've been using Jasc's Paint Shop Pro all my webbing life. Tried my hand at PS 7.0 the other day... made some clouds... wrote some text that looked crappy... gonna take a lot of getting used to. I know ALL the keyboard commands for PSP. Like learning to drive a stick all over again!

italianninja · 05-30-2004, 12:18 PM

learning photoshop cs is as hard for me as it currently is to grow my tgp. man, it sucks, wish it was dick but hey!

AMADude · 05-30-2004, 02:37 PM

I have used Photoshop since V. 5.5 and use 7.0 now, it was very very easy going to each version.

Fireworks rocks too.
I see no reason to upgrade to CS.

candyflip · 05-30-2004, 02:39 PM

Lots of tutorials and lots of people willing to help

if you know fireworks..

use that..

time = money...

Tala · 05-30-2004, 02:42 PM

I love my photoshop 7

I've not wanted to switch

woj · 05-30-2004, 02:44 PM

Photoshop is pretty easy to use, and this is coming from a programmer, not a designer... You are probably too used to fireworks and that's why you are having problems....

Paul Waters · 05-30-2004, 03:00 PM

I have been using PS for over a year. CS since November (mainly for the raw format capabilities).

I would say I am barely an intermediate user....

I find almost everything counter intuitive. But when you do get you workflow down, there is nothing close to PS

KRL · 05-30-2004, 03:05 PM

I have Photoshop CS. Its the best graphics program if you don't mind the steep learning curve you need to master it.

But once you do, nothing else comes close to the powerful graphics tools you can create with on there.

exactly. PS cs is the way to go! keep at it and you will see that it can do crazy things fireworks can't do. its always hard to learn new programs.

xxxdesign-net · 05-30-2004, 03:17 PM

damn.. if you think photoshop is hard... try a 3D graphic program and tell me what you think...

Winterverse · 05-30-2004, 05:52 PM

If you're going to use PS use 7.0, CS is just bullshit.. why is every other version terrible? 5.5 good, 6.0 not, 7.0 good, CS not. Fucking takes two versions to get the shit right.

washiez · 05-30-2004, 06:06 PM

Hell I still prefer 3.0 or 4.0.. no need for all that other bullshit.
3.0 is when they introduced layers.. what else do we need besides that to make our lives easier? Try learning on 2.5 and you will laugh at how easy all the other versions are.

and you still use windows 3.11 also right

The differences between Photoshop 5.5 through 7 are slim imo
CS has some added goodies/improvements for 16bit editing

I have 7 and don't think it's worth my $$$ to upgrade to CS

cs is almost the same as 7... so what the problem? You have to get used to it, there is nothing difficult in photoshop, I always use it

If you're on 6.0 you are really missing out. The healing brush is an amazing thing...
