... to create/design your lo's? I am curious to know who uses CS2 or above, or if you use Elements or some other program.

What do you like or dislike about the program you use? Why did you choose the program that you are currently using?

Thanks in advance for your input/advice! :D

I use CS2, I bought it when it first came out. I've resisted upgrading because I know I'm getting a Mac eventually and will need to upgrade for it anyway...

I started out though with PSE, then PSE2, then PSE3 before I upgraded to CS. I upgraded because I was starting to design and PSE wasn't able to do what I wanted. It was a bit of a leap, but I managed it OK, lol.

GIMP-aoo, baby!:thumbup: I know at least half of you have no idea what I'm talking about, let's just say this...think PSE plus MUCH more...free.
 
I use PSP 11. I dont really have any dislikes with it. When I first got it it would take forever to start but then someone told me how to get it to start faster and I love it. It is really easy to use...I taught myself everything within a few weeks (although I do still learn new things on it occasionally!!)
 
I've used PSE3 for about 4 years and I love!!! I just recently got PSE6 (with my Bamboo fun tablet) but I'm not installing it until I have to (meaning until I get a new computer taht only has Vista). I love PSE3 and have zero complaints about it!!!!
 
I used PSE4 forever. But I couldn't do text on a path and a lot of actions did not work. So I took the plunge about 2 weeks ago and bought CS4. I enjoy the drop shadows in CS4. They are customizable. I haven't even tried to figure out where my actions are. And I haven't done a text on a path yet. Maybe when I have 5 minutes of peace I will try something new.
 
I've been using PSE 4 for quite some time now. I want to upgrade but not sure if I'll stick with PSE or go to the full thing??
 
I use CS3. I LOVE it. Best purchase I ever made. I bought it mainly to use actions and for working with my shadows better.
 
I have PSE6 and have loved it. BUt we just bought our first iMac and I have nothing on it yet. Not sure what to up-grade too. But I really do like PSE6!
 
I use Photoshop CS. I also got Elements 4 or 5 as a present, but I rarely use it. It's not even installed on my laptop, only the desktop
 
I had PSE3 forever. Just recently (about 3-4 months ago) DH bought me PSE6 as a surprise, and I love it! Lots more options. I'm not ready for the BIG one yet, lol!!
 
I use pse7 and LOVE it.. I do wish I could upgrade to cs3 or even 4 buuut I dont think I can shell out that kind of money :( :( :( :( Did anyone get a good deal on theirs??
 
I use PSP X2. I also have PSE, but since I know PSP so well, I hate to learn how to do things in PSE, it just ends up frustrating me.
 
I use PSE 7 on my desktop, PSE 5 on laptop. I've got CS3 on the laptop as well, but I don't use it as often...I don't like not having a photo bin at the bottom.
 
Wow, I am lovin' the info!! :D It is interesting to hear what you like about elements vs. the full version of photoshop.

I have also heard that people don't want to leave elements because of its organizational abilities

You can get the upgrade price from PSE to CS. Unfortunately, it's $600. Academic pricing is an option if you or the man are taking classes since Hayden's too young to be in school yet. You just need to prove that you're a student.
 
I use cs.. and have zerooooo interest in upgrading all the way to 4. I thought about going to cs2 for a while, but I obviously never did lol. I'm perfectly content with my 5 yr old program.
 
Looks like I'm going to be the dinosaur of the group:( I still use Microsoft Digital Image Suite. It's old, I know. It's what I learned on, so it's super easy for me.

I have PSE7 but have yet to figure out how to use it:unsure: One day I'll venture into this century, but by that time, you all will be using even more advanced programs!

I'm sure my layouts will improve greatly once I learn the elements and do the switcheroo.
 
I do things much harder than I probably have to. I use PSP8 to actually create the layouts, but I use both PSPX2 and CS4 to edit my photos. CS4 is so daunting - I really only use it to run actions. I really should take the time to actually learn the programs that I have instead of sticking with what I know (PSP8). Hard to break old habits, though! I have PSP8 tweaked just the way I want it and I know where everything is so it's just much faster for me to use it.
