kingfish Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I know there are a lot of talented graphic makers on this site. I've always wanted to be able to make backgrounds and wallpapers and stuff. Can anyone tell me what I should try using? I know I should use photoshop. But which version should I use? I can download it pretty easily, im just not sure which is the best version to use. Also is there any good tutorials to learn how to use it and do different things with it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trutrojan8 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I use CS2, but that's just because it's what I started with and I am comfortable with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Malone Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 CS5 is the best imo. But any photoshop should do really, i used to make ill shit on old ass photoshop programs. It's not all about the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GamerGuy Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Downloading CS5 is easy, you can even get it from Adobe's own website. The hard part with torrents is that you'll have to follow their instructions to generate a CD key. You could always get it from Adobe's web site, and after your trial is over you can reformat your hard-drive and re-download it. Not exactly the best way to go about it, though.
