Adobe Photoshop - which version?

[The Aquatic Arsenal]

So I am looking through adobe photoshop's website, and they have changed the way they market their products lol. I am looking to over saturate all of my WYSIWYG pics to sell them for more joking of course.

I want to be able to create GIF's, make banners, and pretty much be able to able to do all my own advertising. It is kind of hard to decide which product is the right one lol. Thanks

In all honesty, Adobe Photoshop might be to much software for your purposes. But if you’re willing to learn it, you can’t go wrong.

The subscription to Lightroom/Photoshop is what I recommend. I‘ve been using photoshop for 25 years and still don’t use it to it’s full range.

As a matter of fact as a Photographer I now use Lightroom extensively and photoshop rarely. But to make flashing banners, Gifs and the like you would need a tool like Photoshop.

Any version will do what you want. Just get the cheaper one.

I do a lot of design work so Photoshop is vital to me but it's usually a case of spending immense amounts of money or stealing it (I have an old university version so neither fortunately). Juice780 is right, any version will do for what you need. There's also some freeware called Gimp that does pretty much the same thing. If you do get Photoshop and you're new to it feel free to hit me up with questions. :)

I’m a designer by trade and use the monthly Creative Cloud subscription (not that expensive) which allows for use of all of Adobe’s assets.

I just downloaded Gimp. I will play with it later. Thank you!

I saw this package. This might be the way we go.

Gimp has some really nice plugins available for it and you can make changes to multiple images at once for stock photos. Though lightroom does that as well.
