Photoshop 8

[bulio]

hi ppl, I was wondering if my computer can handle the new photoshop. Here are my system specs:

-128 mb ram

-intel pentium 3

-20 gig hd

I am not really gonna go extreme in photoshop cs, but my comp doesnt meet the system requirements for ram and some other things. my processor makes it tho. Should i bother dling it?

thx

keep the memory usage down to a minimum and you should be fine. ;)

You do of course need Win XP

I&#39;d say that the problem is mainly the seat-keyboard interface. :D

Never had a problem with Me on any system I&#39;ve had it on.

With those system specs you&#39;d be better off getting Photoshop 6.

There isn&#39;t a huge difference (feature wise) between 6 , 7 and 8 anyway, so you won&#39;t be missing out on much.

[h1]

You&#39;re better off going with GIMP (http://www.gimp.org), it&#39;s a powerful Photoshop replacement that has virtually no system requirements.

I&#39;ve found Gimp for windows to be rather unstable.
Every time I tried to use plugins... *CRASH&#33;&#33;*

Gimp is great in a Linux environment, but Photoshop is the business for advanced image editing on Windows platforms, IMHO. :)

Warnings

The program(s) might crash unexpectedly or behave otherwise strangely. (But of course, so do many commercial programs on Windows.)

So I guess that mean your windows o.s. and the programs that run on it *CRASH&#33;&#33;* not just Gimp. :)

[h1]

I&#39;ve heard of people being unable to get the Fu family of plugins to run at all on Windows.

[uNz[i]]

Sure, a lot of apps will fall when you push &#39;em through Windows. ;)

But I found the Gimp to be particularly troublesome compared to Photoshop.
Thats all I&#39;m sayin&#39; :)

[h1]

But Photoshop is native to Windows, so you really can&#39;t make that argument. ;)

[shn]

You and anybody else can use ummmmmm............. whatever the hell you want.

I still say mspaint is 10 times better than photoshop :lol:

But then again, I really do not give a shit. :)

Yup - That&#39;s pretty much what I&#39;ve been saying all along. :)

Hell, I&#39;d love to see someone get Photoshop running in a Linux environment half as well as Gimp runs in Windows... ;)

@ shn - M&#036; Paint better than PSD? :o
Only if you wanna have a race to see which prog can startup faster. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I figure if Windows xp can run with that then photoshop can as well. ;)

[uNz[i]]

Yeah, that&#39;d probably work, but in this case I consider VMWare to be cheating. :)

I&#39;m talking about a port of Photoshop made specifically to run on Linux.
Just like the Gimp was ported to Windows.

Sure, I know it&#39;ll probably never happen...

Just be lucky the Linux community decided to port such a great program like gimp to run on Winbloze.

Last I checked adobe was commercial and only cared about making money.

You want to port something?

Your so good at photoshop, then port yourself a better looking sig. :)

[uNz[i]]

ooOOOoo... tetchy&#33; :lol:

Relax.. I was just blue skying - No need to go off the deep end. :P

Hell... If I was proficient in Linux what would I need Photoshop for anyway?
I&#39;d be quite happy using the Gimp in its native, stable environment.

As for my sig... I just might do that. Stay tuned. ;)

Edit: Done&#33; :P

I feel sooo pretteh now. :rolleyes:
