And what difference does it make on which Photoshop to learn? Is CS 5 different from 2017?

Question

Adobe Photoshop

My sister wants Photoshop, but I really don’t want to crawl from xp to 7 ...

Answer 1

About Photoshop - it doesn't matter.
But, sit on XP in 2017?????????????????????????????????????????????
XP has a lot of bugs and vulnerabilities that will NEVER be fixed again.
And not on 7, but on 10 you need to crawl.
10 is very, very stable, much more reliable than other previous Windows.

Answer 2

Install CS6 and Windows 10 Professional (not Home)
SS is terribly slow, you won’t get enough iron on it. And CS6 is faster than Explorer, and the main functions are present there.

Answer 3

CS3 is our choice.
In the future, "smart" filters and new tools began to be added. Of course, some of them are very good. Basic functions have not changed. And the performance differs even between cs3 cs6, strongly not in favor of the latter.

Answer 4

The main question is why do you study? If for web design, then the latest photoshop rules, because. they finally made several artboards in one document. And if the photo processing, then nothing critically changed there for a very long time. Filters appeared and functions were completed, but all this is not necessary for learning)
