Joan, I just spotted this thread, sorry. I use Photoshop CS2 because it is the only Photoshop program that will open my Canon 20D JPEG/RAW tandem shots. (The Canon comes with its own RAW editing software but I wanted to stick with the Photoshop tools.)

If you already have Photoshop CS you can buy a CS2 upgrade for around $140 (I think).

I don't know why you would need either the CS or the CS2 unless you are shooting RAW format.

jpg vs. RAW format?

Thank you Paul, Lacey, John and Linda,

I haven't checked the forum for a few days so I apologize for being late wiht my thank you's to my post.

Paul and Lacey, perhaps the version 6 or 7 will do. Thank you.

Linda, well, I got a new camera for Christmas (Nikon D70s) and I haven't even downloaded any photos from it yet. With my old camera I would download the photos, edit them in the program that came with that Canon camera, then save them in jpg format. Is the RAW format better? And by better I guess I'm wondering if it contains more info? I still haven't talked to my printer. What do people use RAW format for?

So, perhaps the version 7 would work for me, assuming I can keep working in jpg format and that's enough for the printer. He had a problem with what I brought in a couple of weeks ago, I edited a photo and saved it in jpg format. I thought at the time the problem was my editing program, but maybe it was the fact that I saved the file as jpg?

Well, the more I write, the more obvious it becomes how much I don't know!

Joan
