Hello! This is a little off
topic, but I’ve just started to scan my astrophotos. I’ve read a couple
of books on image astrophotography image editing, but I am still a complete
newbie.
I see that many
astrophotographers on this list use Photoshop. I’m considering
purchasing Photoshop and the book/CD “Photoshop for Astrophotographers” to get
started. It appears that some of the older versions of Photoshop would
work well. “Photoshop for Astrophotographers” lists version 5 in its
description.
I’ve checked
the availability of older versions on Ebay and Amazon. I’ve never
purchased used software before and I want to ensure I don’t purchase a program
that is in copywrite violation. Is there anything I should look for to
ensure I purchase an appropriate item?
Or does the
current Photoshop CS have additional features that make it the selection of
choice for astrophotography image editing?
Thank you and
best regards.
Mike
