CS2, CS3 or CS4. ?

[blazedathaze]

I'm wondering which one to get . . . ?
do they have tons of different changes and layouts in the newer versions ?
I want a retro- feel since I haven't used photoshop for a long time, would I still be able to download CS4 and recognize everything ? ( from like cs2, photoshop 7 and cs1 or w.e )

u should always try to get the newest version if u have the chance, however i have cs3 and works fine for me.

All I can say is CS4 needs a fair amount of memory to run. Bare in mind as you are running CS4, you'll be running an OS, probably a web browser, a chat client and so on.

I had CS3 and for my needs it was fine, and ran well on XP with a gig of ram.

I currently use CS4 extended and I love it. The only downside is that my computer can't run some of its 3d capabilities due to my crappy graphics card.

I use CS2 and I think it's fine.

Really this all comes down to a few things.
- Your Budget
- Your PC Specs
- Where you want your Graphics skills to go

If you want to just play around for fun, sigs and stuff, then CS2 will be the best option as it's the cheapest and easiest to run. If you want to be more dedicated and design websites, 3D arts, Large images, etc, then CS4 would be the better option.
