Beginner

Next semester I'll be taking digital design at school, and I want to get a little head-start with Photoshop. I was curious if anyone has any tips before I buy Photoshop. There are different programs that you can buy on photoshop.com and I'm completely clueless when it comes to this stuff. What program do you use?

 

Photoshop CS6 is all you'll need. If you get the suite of programs that come with Photoshop suite then it is kind of useless IMO. This is the wrong section for this though.

 

CS5 Or CS6 is all you'll really need.

 

Moved to questions, and locked. Best answer you're going to get is "photoshop CS5-6 is all you need." You could also look into Illustrator, a lot of people use photoshop and illustrator together for a wide variety of projecs. tbh I don't know what illustrator enables you to do, you'll have to research it.
