A mish mash of
Pros: Nice user interface if you liked CS2, because it doesn't leave you as stranded as previous versions because it has a lot of buttons on the screen that you can use to access toolbars from the windows menu, (toolbar windows), also you can calapse them.
Cons: Just has the same features as CS2, even CS4 is the same - only difference is Photoshop CS4 has a 3D feature for creating basic shapes that revolve in space, although that is not what it is meant for 'PHOTO - shop'.
Review:
Today my Illustrator wouldn't open a text file without turning it into a non formatable, graphic element.
Later it discarded my important document sizes in a saved print document for some custom document sizes that were on the clipboard from a web document I had just finished working on. Only I will have to struggle to find the correct document sizes for the print ad I saved weeks ago
- it only done this when I went online - I did a fair test, without lieing to myself.
Friends have used it and they say it has a mind of it's own when U open it up and the calapseable toolbar windows are never where you left them, they are either open, closed or in a different order from where U left them, and I have noticed this, I have used CS3 for over a year, and I can not remember what the icons mean on the calapseable toolbars from the windows menu, because they have no fixed place - your memory doesn't register/familiarize with them because they either try to insult your memory by switching places, or they hide/come back when U start up / run the program.
I think computers are logical and they must do this for a reason - proberbly programmed to do this when the software is being used as spyware by people online.
If you are a business needing a lot of design work, save yourself the hastle and get a qualified freelance designer for hire to shout at and smash up their machines in their own premisis, time, and money.
