make a choice: Photoshop 7 or Photoshop CS/CS 2

First of all, it is necessary to say, that Photoshop integral softina for the web - developer, and the more so for the designer. Among my familiar (experts in area IT or fans{amateurs}) no any, who not juzal a photoshop.

Many aspire to update a software as soon as there are new versions of used programs. I not exception. But a subject not less before to be defined{determined}, what version photoshops I shall be juzat`, I have decided potestit` and to compare habitual and recommending myself about enough positive party Photoshop 7 and last version from series CS.

First of all, before installation I have read the announcement in which those changes which are described are available in last version: " support of job at once with several layers Has appeared. At last shortcuts work in Russian allocation of the keyboard. A number{line} of the filters having such plenty of adjustments is added, that in them there is even a button exposing all parameters in the casual image (and at times quite good results turn out). Patterns for creation of webs - albums became more various and include variants with use Flash-schedules. In a package it is added the browser of graphic files Adobe Bridge having functions of the elementary editing of pictures, processing of the RAW-given from cameras and search on the metadata. "

Basically certainly, the same job with several layers simultaneously doubtless plus. Patterns for webs - albums in a photoshop essentially never liked me, and, I think, any web - developer respecting would not began to use patterns. And as far as it is necessary - a question ambiguous and rather disputable. Shortcuts - for whom that too is good, possible is big plus. But if to take into account, that the majority of webs - developers by default use English language Russian allocation is not too actual. Further. All these navoroty with huge quantity{amount} of adjustments in filters - and it is necessary? In the same Photoshope 7 it is possible to make anything you like with the help of available filters, and besides if garmotno to combine filters, it will turn out not worse nearly, than at automatic randomnykh adjustments. By own experience I know, that from simply black background by means of application of several filters it is possible to receive a rainbow in the sky. From a simple black page. Well and in general, so it is more reliable, for it that is required. And to try to understand immense quantity{amount} not everyone presumes from reasons of limited time. Developers and designers in fact people borrowed{occupied}:-) the Browser of graphic files in the complete set - tozh it is not especially logical. For if the person works with grafikoj - for certain already there is proved to be and habitual "viewer". And to litter a liked computer with a superfluous software to anybody probably in a head will not come. At least to the person who works behind a computer, instead of the fool drags (yes usual users) will excuse me.

Now about that was not pleasant visually: at creation of the document (irrespective of the fact which size) there is an inactive strip of scrolling, even then, when scrolling is not necessary for the document. It, in my opinion, not is correctly for distracts attention, and to some extent prevents perception{recognition} of a composition. Registration - I do not argue - nice. However besides, to the developer the program both its{her} functionality and a correctness, instead of beautiful design is necessary.

One more minus - at rasterizacii a layer (it is allowable text) work it is far from being all filters, and the some people - it is incorrect. However, it is possible, that here it not absolutely so. All depends from established softiny, to be exact on as far as she is "directly established, well and plus not the fact that trial`nye versions work in full force. Perhaps, but anyway, I have found out these lacks.

Well and the last. Photoshop'HH series CS eat much more resources, than old kind Photoshop 7.0. Agree, for job with multilayered images it is enough taki essentially? And furthermore - if to take into account, that in design job to have sometimes to deal with files on some tens, and even hundreds meters.

Well. Having weighed all pro and contra, having thought on a subject " and whether it is necessary to me ", I have decided to not hurry up with transition on CS a series have decided to not hurry up and to not change yet to the seven grown fond a photoshop:) But in any case, this my personal opinion and to decide to you that approaches you more. Well and I advise popol`zovat` both that and another, and there to decide, that it is better. Success!
