Taking Control of Your Digital Imaging Content

These are just a few of the more useful, major improvements to this version of Photoshop. However, one important area where the company has not improved is with the program’s speed—Photoshop remains slow,sometimes painfully so.

Photoshop CS is a major upgrade to an extremely powerful program. If you want to have the maximum control over your digital photographs, and you are willing to take the time to learn the program, there simply is no other choice than Photoshop.

An upgrade for your current version of Photoshop is about $160, while the list price for Windows and Mac versions is $649. The average price online is about $500; however, academic pricing abounds, which drops the cost to under $300.
