Is Photoshop CS worth it.
Now I all ready have Photoshop version 7.0 and I wanted to know is there a big difference between the two programs. Is it really worth upgrading to the newer version.

No Wonder Photoshop CS Seems Slow - It's Analyzing Images For Content!
Brian NoSpam - 11:02am Jan 7, 2004 Pacific
We received a TIFF image from a customer, of a $20 bill. The image does
*not* violate any laws regarding reproduction of currency (it's not even
close to actual-size, and it's not a "flat" portrayal - it's wavy, as if
it's fluttering in the wind. Nor is it real-color.
However, Photoshop CS refuses to open the image, and provides an error
message regarding the (il)legality of currency reproduction and an
"information" button that takes you to the web. (Photoshop 7, of course,
has no such qualms).
What the hell is this? In my book this is completely unacceptable -
Photoshop is an image editor, not a censor, government policy enforcer
or anything else.
Adobe, you've got some explaining to do.

I still like Paint Shop Pro 7 the best. It's fast, very affordable, and gets the job done. I don't, however, recommend PSP8. It is bug-laden and there is much broken about it - including the undo function. They also messed severely with the Bezier curve function I use to outline my art, making it extremely cumbersome to use. If PSP9 follows in the same vein, I'll probably abandon Jasc and move up to Photoshop or grit my teeth in Gimp (which I should add has made tremendous strides in version 2.0 and promises even more improvements in 3.0).
