Ah, I love the freedom photoshop gives me with projects like website design or 3d model image mapping. I use it almost all day at work and I really couldn’t live without it… But now i really want it at home too!!!
Love photoshop!
Photoshop CS6 will take me out of reality and into the future
Adobe will be taking me onto the layout team on my school newspaper!! :)
To the moon!
It will take me above and beyond where I’m at now. A definite improvement to my well being!
Photoshop has improved my life at school. Just imagine what it could do at home. The possibilities are endless.
Having used Photoshop since 4.0 and Lightroom, I can say emphatically the latest versions are by far the best of the lot. Faster, more powerful and a fantastic set of tools for a photographer. In productivity alone, they excel and enhance my workflow.
It would take me to my computer to get my nerd on for many days.
It will take me to a higher level of quality photos, as an starting entrepreneur. That after 5 years of rehabilitation as an fictum of a car/bicycle collision. Can’t live without photography!
I really like that the possibilities of Photoshop are honestly endless, and the only boundaries are your own imagination’s capacity, and I would love to see where those boundaries are for myself. I am young and hoping to get heavily involved in digital art. I have been involved in pencil and paper art for quite some time, although its possibilities do not even begin to compare with those of digital art. I have an ample understanding of Photoshop and can use it comfortably, as I use it in school. Hopefully my own copy of Photoshop/Lightroom will get me on my way to my own creative adventure :)
Take me where I haven’t been.
to the creative magical world……..
Where will Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4 take you? Why I imagine it will take me from be a snapshot shooter to being a photographer.
Just got a t4i and need a good photography program to take my photo skills up a notch
As a photographer and teacher having CS6 Photoshop would increase my skills and teaching practice, and I would like to try tethering my Nikon D200 for my commercial photography class with Lightroom!
Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4 will take me from the dark ages of 25 years of PCs to the cutting edge of designing, creating, and editing with my new MAC and this amazing new software! The difference will be night and day. “I once was blind but now I SEE”.
It will take me to a new level in growing my photography business. A wonderful tool to have!
I want to use Photoshop legally. I have been using Photoshop for a couple of year illegally, and I realized what I was doing. So now I want to use it legally. It will take me to my new level of design. I am still a student and can’t afford the price (even under student discount).
Thanks for your comment Mohamad – and please be so careful because that is really dangerous…
Since I have CS5 and would LOVE to have CS6 and don’t have Lightroom at all, it would really help my photography and I’d learn a lot more about using them together…awesome!!
It would be great to have CS6 and Lightroom 4. It would enable me to improve my photography and hopefully start my own business.
Photoshop will take me to new levels of comic creating skills.
Photoshop will take me to infinity and beyond!! Well on a serious note I could improve my photography skills to the max, and I’d also like to get into the business of making custom thumbnails for people on youtube. I’m a student and don’t have enough money to buy it myself :’( and paint doesn’t really do it :(
