Photoshop 7 takes 3 seconds to start on my computer. Photoshop CS takes 10 and CS2 takes a bit more. And since I’ve been using all three of them to test them together the previous week I figured that Photoshop 7 has all the features I would ever need packed in a brilliant way.

Right now it is the trend of all companies to put style before quality. Oh you’ve probably heard this a hundred times, but you can hear it again, “It’s not the outer look that matters, but it’s inner look”. Photoshop CS has a nice features and I can see a noticable change in the quality of objects while editing. Even though the end result is same with all versions of photoshop, what you get is always better than what you see while you’re editing an image or working with vectors. And people who have switched from Photoshop CS to Photoshop CS2, as in actually bought them, have been looted like shit. Oh yeah, Photoshop CS2 is an example which shows the near of the end of Adobe, because it just gives new names to features that have already existed in the past and made things look better. I would have certainly felt ripped off if I had purchased CS2, but thank Adobe for trial versions. Hopefully with the acquisition of Macromedia, things will become better.

And wouldn’t it be great to have Flash, Dreamweaver and Photoshop integrated into one application. If that happens, I will be more than happy to spend $400 on software that I would usually download from the bay or the spy.
