It seems like there are many tools and learning how to use them might make you a bit nervous, but with Adobe help, there is nothing to worry about.

Photoshop CS2 also has friendly interface with button using, pop-up panel and each work place appear as a window( especially good to use large number of files( images) and layers at the same time. The hot-hey system is very useful making it easier to remember and to use. for example if you wanna open a new layers just press the combination: Shift+Ctrl+N....There are also more plug-ins : fonts for type tool, brushes, .... For better using, I would recommend Adobe Bridge to organize files and exchanging files between Photoshop and Adobe Image Ready to create animation.
However,just a little thing I don't like about this version is the loading interface and plug-in takes a bit long, makes me feel uncomfortable sometimes.Otherwise, its perfect.
In terms of graphic software, I think photoshop is the best. The fact is I has been using it for years and love it, still. I hope you will make use of it and love it like I do! Cheers!!
Advantages: User friendly Disadvantages: Need to do some experiments in order to know the useful of the tools and features
...time I started to learn Adobe Photoshop, years ago. I started with Photoshop 5.5; Those days, we had to go through a lot of steps to do effects we can do now with fewer steps and less time. Adobe Photoshop goes through a lot of enhancements and improvements since then.
Through the years, I've upgraded Photoshop, starting with version 5.5, followed by 7, and now CS2. Generally, I skip every other version as a rule of thumb.
This new version is more ... ...palette.
I especially like Adobe Bridge. At last, I have an organized way to browse, organize, and select the files I want to work with. Version 7 had a rudimentary file browser, but it was slow and clunky to use, at best. For me, Bridge has really been the best enhancement to Photoshop I've seen. It's even neater that I can now run my Photoshop Actions on folders and files from within Bridge itself. And my custom actions now take fraction of time ...

Advantages: Very comprehensive graphics program, excellent features Disadvantages: Takes a little while to get to know the program
I have been using Adobe photoshop for approximately five years now (through-out different versions), and currently use this version. I have to say that this is one of the most feature packed graphic design and editing programs commercially available today.
The program can be used for a very wide range of purposes, including editing of digital photos, image creation, word art, frame by frame animation, digital rendering, and many more.

Advantages: The best photo editing/graphic software you can get! Disadvantages: The application takes time to load + it may take a little time to get used to.
this is the best computer graphical program ever! Do you really want to know why? Yes, I bet you do! Simple answer; Because I can use it! I am hardly computer technical and I hardly have a good knowledge on using computers but for me to be able to use it comfortably when photo editing etc and to result in high quality outputs really does say something! Firstly I got this product for free from a friend who lent me the disk to use. I shall be honest, ... ...hate is the time it takes to load the application. However when first opening the application it was highly confusing and remained this way for a few weeks until I got used to the icons and tools. For example, the magic wand tool is a tool which is used to select all pixels on the image which are similar or the same to the pixel you had originally clicked.
Since using this product for over 2 years my skills have increasingly developed through my ...
