Author Topic: Computer help PolarBoy Drunk in 4 different threads posted                        Hi guys the design course im doing is going well (even though about 8 things are due next week) anyway I would like to possably get the programs we are using at home cause im struggling with the computer side of things. what we are using are adobe illistrator, adobe photoshop, adobe indesign, I am also maybe looking at getting a mac so can somebody please tell me what the latest versions of the computer and programs are? There seem to be some sort of cheap stuff on ebay but it could all be dodgy cause I have heard that there may be ways to just download the programs at least. however my poor pc has hardly any memory left these days so im in a quandary do I upgrade this or get the mac and download on to there or buy the programs. Any help would be appriciated thanks Mike -------------------- :polarboy: From: Sydney, Australia | Registered: Nov 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Star Boy Cat Clan Commander posted                        Latest versions of the Adobe suite are all CS2 (CS stands for Creative Suite). Illustrator CS2 is basically Illustrator 12.0 Photoshop CS2 is about Photoshop 9.0 InDesign CS2 is InDesign 4.0 I think... The latest (CS2) versions are big. I have 2 gig of RAM and things still slow down dramatically when dealing with big Photoshop and Illustrator files. So make sure your PC can handle them. With regards to Illustrator, the latest versions add mainly Live Tracing, Live Painting and 3D effects, so if you don't need that functionality then you could be able to get away with using Illustrator 10 or CS1 if you find them cheaply. Avoid Illustrator 9.0 like the plague. I know nothing about Macs, however... PS Oh yeah, if you're buying software online make sure you do so from an Australian software vendor as international legal and marketing crapulence prevents sale of digital stuff online from the US. I may be wrong, but I know you can't buy computer programs from Amazon and ship to an Australian address.
