diffrence between CS & PS6?

[jim1971]

i currently have PS6, but it seems all the cool video tutorials ive watched and would like to do all pertain mostly to CS, as well as any brushes i find online (free ones) say they only work in CS or PS7 & above but what are the major diffrences between the 2 editions? if any?

We're talking CS2 now - not just CS. The answer is A LOT of differences. The most obvious one being the heal tools, but tonnes more besides. Why not download a trial version from Adobe and try it out?

You do not have to uninstall a prior version before installing an upgrade (demo or regular version).

Beware: If it's been awhile since you have upgraded your computer, you will most likely find that CS2 runs a lot slower than what you're experiencing with PS6.

FYI: The CS2 upgrade is selling for ~ $139 and up. (Shop the net.)

Probably the biggest changes were 6 -> 7 -- a redesign of the brush engine and the introduction of heal and patch tools. But there's some neat new stuff in CS, too.

CS2 is the biggest change so far especially from 6, with new methods of using layers and other changes.
