I first used photoshop 5 so i cannot claim to have seen the rise and rise of it all but being a web designer it is a great program to use. The cutting edge technologies with the familiar tools make it easy to make great graphics. A visual quickstart guide sorted me out in getting to know it. I'm not claiming to be a guru with it either.

The Industry standard image manipulation package steps up a gear with release 5.5 and the inclusion of Adobe's ImageReady - a tool dedicated to the creation of graphics which are web-ready. With every release Photoshop goes from strength to strength and with functions like the history list, user-definable actions and the ability add third-party plug-ins there's nothing that touch it. The range of tools available is truly superb and it's well within the capabilities to be producing appreciable results within a matter of hours of picking it up. However, to get the best out of Photoshop required patience and it's then, and only then, ...  Read the complete review
