As a photoshop user ever since the college course, Adobe photoshop has been the best one around for many years now. Now they’ve taken another step away from before and added many useful features for web usage as well. As many of you might know, when photoshop 5.0 came out everyone love the additional feature, ’’history’’, where you can track and find out each and every manipulation you’ve done on the image. That was one major plus because before when you use the option ’’undo’’, you can not go back more than 2 steps.
As for photoshop 5.5, they added another key elements for web masters. It has a great image ready option for internet use. Very easy to use if you are building a web page, you could import and export image easier than before.
Filters are basically the same, there are no other major changes. If I have to complain about this product is it’s color correction is not as good as photoshop 5.0. Before when I use photoshop 5.0, I set my computer on WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) so the image are ready for print. But now there is a slight program with the black and white image in photoshop 5.5. They look slightly off and not true black or white.
I brought photoshop 6.0 when it first came out, but decide to uninstalled it and keep using photoshop 5.5. There is some problem with photoshop 6.0. I’m not sure how it is on a PC, when I freelance for this design company, I had a lot of error with photoshop 6.0 with Mac. I just mention about the problem with it’s color correction, 6.0 is much worse. Besides, if you use other Adobe product, photoshop 5.5 works better with them rather than 6.0.
