I just bought Photoshop Elements 5 and I saw a class being offered for Photoshop CS nearby. I'm thinking of registering for the class. Is there a big difference between 5.0 and CS? Will I still be able to use what I learn in the CS class or will I need to get CS?
Thanks
If your class is in a city or community college, it may have a special
deal with Adobe. As a result of joining a class, I was able to get the
entire Adobe Premium Suite CS2 for $195 and since I bought it on
the day (but after) they announced CS3 was ready for sale, I was
also eligible for the full CS3, which I now have.
CS is so powerful, I'm still using CS ! But will be putting my
CS3 (or, to be safer with an older program, CS2) on the laptop.
As a student at almost any organized teaching place, you can get
the full Premium (Dreamweaver, Adobe Illustrater, In-Design,
Acrobat Reader CS3) for under $600, but if your community college
has a deal with Adobe for its students, then it's available these days
for about $300.
Lightroom, $199 usually, is available for students for $100.
