Photoshop Version

[nwcs]

For those of you who use Photoshop for your coin photos, what version do you use?

[Jeff S]

I use Paint Shop Pro 7& 9

Photoshop Elements 3.0. I'm very happy with it. The tools for organization and editing are more than I could ask for (and I'm picky).

I just upgraded from 5.5 to CS2 (talk about a big jump!) and I love CS2. Definitely more thn I need. But there are some great things in it. I think I may reshoot my coins and see what I get. The shadows and highlight adjustment really did a number on the ngc slabs.

I use (don't laugh) MS Photo Editor! I've had it since Win 95 but the last time I reloaded it with WIN XP, I can no longer edit .jpg pics. And after some searching and a phone call to MS, they said that they don't support it anymore!

So for now, my work around is to change the files to .bmp in Paint before working with them in PE. And of course, I need to change them back to .jpg in paint before sending them off somewhere.

I'm so old fashion that I actually stopped by Best Buy to see if there was a remote possibilty that there was an updated version of the software for sale! I think I'll check ebay!

I believe photo editor was replaced with a similar tool in Microsoft Office.

I use 7.01 and it is more than you'll ever need for regular image editing.

Until you see the features of CS2. Shadows and Highlights is incredible. Same as the camera filter. Same with image healing. Here is one image I took and manipulated to be the most similar to original image I've made. Before I couldn't keep the camera from cooling the image too much.

And the reverse. If anyone remembers my thread on this coin a couple of weeks ago the old images are still there for comparison.
