I currently use Photoshop 7 and now would

like to upgrade to a better version. Can I upgrade directly to CS2? I am wanting to upgrade from PS7 and want to know if I can upgrade straight to CS2 with the upgrade package. i.e. CS2 will upgrade from PS7.

Might be better to go straight for CS3.

Unsure, seeing as CS3 has just been released, and they'd probably want the money for that (ie. more) from you. Worth sending them an email, or you often see software products on ebay which purport to have full licenses which you can transfer to your machine. I would be careful with that route though.

Yeap. You can upgrade from 7, CS, or CS2.

By the way, check to see what the student version costs, both CS3 and the creative suite, before you upgrade. Might be cheaper.

Make sure of your OS if you're on a mac PS 7 runs on OS 9 or X, PS 8,9 (CS 1,2) runs on OS X with regular or intel. PS 10 or (CS 3) is optimized for the intel processor. If you don't have the intel processor you might find a better or sale price on CS 2. Also you can upgrade to the CS suite standard or premium from, I think, any legal version of photoshop that isn't part of a package (like a free version you get with a scanner, we had one that we couldn't upgrade). If it's Windows, don't know.
