Considering Cs6

I would like to purchase an older version of Photoshop such as CS3 or CS5. I know from experience at work that the older versions are quite suitable for my needs. I'm hoping they are available for prices lower than when they were first released. I'd be using it at home on a fairly new OS X Mac. Did not find info on this on the Adobe website. Am seeing prices ranging from $350 to $2,000 on other sites. Don't know what to believe. Anyone know of a trustworthy site I can go to buy CS3 or CS5? Are license transfers o.k.? Maybe I can find someone who has CS3/5 who is no longer using it or any of the upgrades? Could these older versions even run on OS X? Thanks.

Just found these Adobe Photoshop Tutorials that may help newbies to the program, I'd imagine many of you here are most likely aware of these, but for those that aren't hopefully it will help them

And there's also this for all Adobe products

There's a lot of confusion about Adobe's new Creative Cloud.
It's assumed that all Adobe products will be available via a monthly subscription only, and that may be true.
I found this post by Scott Kelby, a Photoshop heavy weight.

My Adobe Creative Cloud Quick Q&A

Read the article and you'll see 2 comments that seem to contradict the subscription only assumption most people have.

Q. Do I have to sign-up for a Creative Cloud membership or can I just upgrade like always?
A. Nope—you can just upgrade like always.

Q. What if it’s not for me?
A. That’s totally cool. You can pretend the Creative Cloud doesn’t exist, and just pay up front for upgrades and full versions of the software like you used to. The Creative Cloud is an option — one that makes sense for a lot of people who can’t handle the up-front costs of the regular Creative Suite, but if it’s not for you, no biggie.

I'm posting this with very limited knowledge on how CC will work and what it means to those of us individuals that have single licenses for Adobe products.
I'm making this post a sticky and hope any PS_CC comments and updates will be posted here until we understand what this means to us.

Hi everybody,
I'l like just to ask what do ypu suggest about choosing a versatile Color Space for Color Correction for these actual times in witch we have the necessity to deliver a lot of graphic asset formats (for Web and Print and Video...).
So,we should be work in Photoshop, to make Color Correction, assign a good Color profile (color space) as standard sRGB, or better, with Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGA as top quality.
Only the end, if we are ready with CC process, we should save some different .psd file versions as CMYK (for print issue), Rec. 709, (if we have to use photo in video), sRBG for web.
Is it a good choice/workflow, or I'm wrong...?

Many thanks for a reply!

Cheers

Does anyone know the best place to buy a genuine copy of CS6, I've seen a few "discounted sites" that I wonder if they're selling rookie versions which I'd rather steer clear of and what's the difference between the standard and extended versions?

A lot of them also seem to be downloads which I've always been a bit wary of but as someone mentioned if you burn it onto a CD you've got a copy of on disk anyway so there's not really any difference.

Any help and links to "trusted sites" would be greatly appreciated.

OK not sure if this is the right place to post this, but it may be of interest to people who are into Animation. Found this article.

Hi, I have a doubt about eyedropper. I work with a lot of layers, and sometimes I want to pick the "All Layers" color, and others only the color in the current layer...

I have seen here http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2012/06/the-eyedropper-tool-additional-sample-options-in-photoshop-cs6.html that CS6 can do the job, but I don't find the way to do it (And I have googled a lot).

Thanks folks!!!

I assume the 2014 version is more current, I'm note sure what the extra version is.

Just done a substantial amount of work on a particular project which called for a PDF file.
No probs...File > Save As > Sweet as...
Back to original PSD file...
Edit...

Save...

Save...Hang on!
Why is photoshop saving as PDF?
Save As...(PSD)
Bam!
All Layers gone.
One flattened PSD file.
Thanks Adobe....NOT!

I read the warning about saving as PDF too......it said it CAN change the Save As settings in the Save As dialog...
...Didn't say it bloody well would!

Why does it do that? Why change the settings? Just what is Adobe on? Can I have some? Please.

Lesson learnt on that one....but what a stoooooopid thing to do!

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a few Adobe Photoshop actions and Adobe Lightroom presets to help add a little flare to my photos. At the moment, I'm subscribed to Adobe Bloom for my action needs.

Please reply with high quality options and I'll definitely go take a look!
