Photoshop CS4 to Favor Vista for 64-Bit - Page 2

Adrian Wong · 5th May 2008, 08:28 AM

If you are using a laptop, then it's almost certainly using a TN panel with 6-bit colour.

Honestly, an 8-bit S-IPS or S-PVA panel is a world of difference from a 6-bit TN panel for someone interested in working with graphics.

The post was about CS4 but at the bottom, in the sig area, was what I took to be his system specs, including "Dell E248WFP 24" Widescreen " so I was hoping someone who could talk about Photoshop and E248WFP in the same post might have some helpful comments.
BTW, I have a Spyder2, and it's helped my laptop a lot. And I can afford up to about $350 right now. I think I mentioned I'm a journalist. I do mostly stills, some video, and -- mostly as a hobby -- artistic prints of historic sites. The laptop's working for me, but I really lust after a larger screen.

Yeah, I'm actually doing just that - using a laptop hooked up to a larger (20") LCD panel. And I can tell you that it does wonders for productivity!

I'm using a Dell UltraSharp 2007FP (not widescreen) monitor with a S-PVA panel. The higher 1600 x 1200 resolution and normal format is just great for editing photos, and the colour is so much better than my notebook's TN panel.

I'm using CS3 atm but there's not a lot of difference between CS2 imo. Although i'll be looking forward to CS4.

Isn't there any step-up program by Adobe ? I've heard if you are using a legitimate copy of an Adobe product, you can get the upgraded/later version by paying a smaller amount of money compared to buying a full retail copy.Is that right ?

Owning an original Photoshop is an amazing feat, let alone upgrade everytime a new version comes out.

I have one of my uncle who have an original Photoshop CS2.I think, i need to borrow that from him to see how much Adobe asks me to pay for the CS4.
