This article gathers everything you need to begin using Adobe Photoshop, starting from the installation, set up and then finding and installing resources.

1 – Buying and installing

The first thing to get your Photoshop is, of course, buying it. Let me show you the options you have and the prices. There are Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Photoshop Extended, each one with its particularities. The first one is prepared to do most of the common tasks for photographers, designers and web designers, such as compositions and manipulations, layouts for graphic pieces, web layouts, etc. The second one has all these features plus the capability of editing/creating 3D models and video/animation. While Photoshop costs US$699.00 (CS4 version), the Photoshop Extended costs US$999.00 (CS4 version).
You may also be interested in buying the Design suite, which includes other Adobe’s graphic softwares  such as Illustrator and InDesign. You can buy the Creative Suite 4 Design Standard for US$1,399.00 or the Creative Suite 4 Design Premium for US$1,799.00.
The installation is now faster than CS3 and quite simple. You can also register to get access to information, news and updates. Learn more.

The 4th pack is here, with a resemblance to the very first, which is one of my favorites. As always, these are perfect for a logo, template, or as clipart. You decide.
