The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

I'm almost always reluctant to upgrade to a new version of a program.  I didn't want to upgrade to CS3 from CS2 (though I'm glad I did now), but I did.  I mainly upgraded to CS3 because I downloaded the trail and liked it.  I liked the new tools and features, and I liked the streamlined design.  I downloaded and installed a trial of Photoshop CS4 and I must say I'm not impressed.  It looks like a cheap knockoff of CS3 with a new skin.  The only significant difference between the two programs is CS4's nice "tabbed window" ability.  There were no new tools that I could see and the program looked like a quick way for them to make a buck.  Who here has used CS4?  What are the practical advantages to it over CS3?  I know this program comes with a hefty price tag at $1,000 but there is a trial so perhaps someone here has used it.  It'll only cost me $349 to upgrade, but I still don't want to throw that money away.

*Please no links to the Adobe website that mentions all the "enhancements" they've made from CS3.  I've already read them.  What I want is your personal opinion.

I havent tried CS4 myself because I didn't see any new features on their website which I would need.

I dont know, I think if you're satisfied with CS3 you should just keep it that way. It does the job for me well enough, I don't need more.
