Hello everyone,
I've been using Photoshop since it's develop, and have purchasing many versions, the last being CS3 Suite, CS4 Photoshop extended, CS5 extended,and CS6 Photoshop standalone.
Like most other people, I have read reviews before purchasing and so was convinced to purchase CS6.
I purchased CS6 standalone as I retired form teaching this year, and thus I'm no longer allowed to purchase at the educational rate.
I've come to the conclusion of the following:
Most software reviewers are in a compromised position:
- They work for a living and as such are not in a position to wirte critical reviews.
They don't have the time for the above, since most are wirting about other topics, softares, camera equipment, plu-ins ets.
- Most reviewers seem to be "copycats" If you go to many review sites, you'' see similar and in smome cases almost the exact material
and points written almost the same or in a variation of the original sofware companies press release.
Lately, I have used Photoshop extensively, and have come to releas that there are several "deficiencies' and areas where many improvemnts can be made.
Also, although I have not used CS6 enpough (only 1 day so far), it still has some deficiencies of some of the submenu items that I use - e.g select color, and being able to isolate
a suble grey backrpund with a slight colour shift from a tabletip item with some similar tones.
As a result, I would like to ask someone in authority there if they ever excahnge a licensed copy of a future reelase of CS7 in return for an in-depth, exhaustive, and thoprough evalution of a software, along with screen captures, and so forth.
I did try the regular routes, as it's almost impossible to find e-mail addresses of Photoshop engineers:
- Live Chat (level 1 person and his manager): No, this does not happen, please go to the Photoshop improvement suggestion site, thank you.
- 1-880 (1-888)telephone number: No, this does not happen, please go to the Photoshop improvement suggestion site, thank you
- An actual e-mail of an engineer I found on a community page: Turned out to be a "Phising Warning",and when I sent the e-mail, I was redirected to an Adobe Promo page.
Thanking everone in advance for reading and answering,
SB
