Curse you Adobe! Well I just got CS5 last year, bet there is not much difference though.
Haha, yeah I was going to get cs5 but I was to afraid they might come out with a new one so I waited.
Have you ever used Photoshop before? If no and you are a true beginner then I would just play around with it first. Get an image off the web and mess with the colors, contrast, etc. That will just help you get used to the program and what you can do with it.
Yeah, I'm kinda a noob, so I guess I'll just play around with some pictures until I get the feel for it. Thanks!
