Adobe Photoshop 6

Awesome product. You have to know how to use it but once learned this willbe the only program you use again.

it does everything.

If you dont know how to use it or someone to teach you its hard to get started.

none now

This is an awesome product. This is a staple amongst graphic artists and web designers. Even though it's title says "PHOTOshop", manipulating photo's is one of the many things that can be done with it. Most 3D studios use PS6.0 to create textures and bump maps. I would also say that prob. 70 to 80% of all web graphics are created with Photoshop.

The power of this program. The text tool, the layering capabilities.

TO get good, there is a high learning curve. THis product isn't for the faint of heart. Unless you have many many manyhours to invest in learning it, stick to Adobe's Photo delux. The price is pretty steap also....around $700

I find this software very flexible and useful. Granted, I've had training using this software, and the beginner may find it difficult to use without knowing some tricks of the trade. I love being able to apply so many different effects, change the lighting level precisely, and modify the overall look of a photo.

Very versatile!

Difficult to do exactly what you want if you aren't familiar with the product.

This is all I ever use!

Never had to call customer service, so I can't offer an opinion here!

The first person you ever fell in love with, remember? You were nervous, because you thought they were so beautiful. You weren't sure they cared about you, or even knew you existed. Still you persued them, love made you fearless. If it's the right person for you you get a positive response,you go on a date,you get married. You make love,you fight you make up,you enjoy each others strengths and learn to live with each others weaknesses. But mainly you grow and change. If you were good together to start with,the changes you make will improve your relationship. It will become better and easier to deal with. If you use photoshop you are probably married to it. You have fought with it ,made beautful art with it and grown with it. If you are a user, do yourself a favor, get Photoshop 6. It will be like an infusion of new romance in a well worn relationship. If you have not used Photoshop It's not easy to recommend because it's just like marriage it's not for everyone.It takes dedication,patience,study, and a bit of artistic vision,and oh yea a pocket full of money (just like marriage).

Improved text handling Improved layer handling Implementation of new options tool Too many improvements to list here

I'm not expert enough to detect any weaknesses.
