Yeh ive not really noticed a difference in the PS version 7 and CS, excpet u can download more brushes (even tho i now use defaults only) and you can change the smudge settings, thats mainly why i switched

fair enough il stick with PS7 then

yeh PS7 should be gd enough for most things... the only thing i use in CS which i couldnt in 7 was the extra smudge settings. but just stick at designing and u will get better.

yer just all the awsome brushes i c r all these updated programs or wateva i dont really no, i got some of metals brushes though they r mad

Limited brush downloads can do you some good because I remember losing all of my brushes once and have been forced to experiment with more of the filters on Photoshop instead of using downloaded brushes - it really helped me with improving my skills and all. Well, it helped me anyway.

I've seen a lot of brush packs that works for PS7 and above though.. on devart.

yer, thing is i cant decide on wat brushes i need and for wat?? like i havent made a sig for a while dont no what styles renders anything, use to like the army special forces, shit and grunge but yer........... DONT NO :(

I don't know, I usually open up Photoshop and mess around with the background until something cool forms up before I find a render and stuff. You could read more tutorials, find some cool techniques and mix them together and look around for inspiration. No idea, lol..

lol yer fair enough spose ill have to give that a go

Yeh... Defaults is the way to go!

i cant find a good tut that i enjoy..... lol il just chuck crap together i spose........
