cs5?

All versions are good. Personally I'm on CS4. I had CS3 and liked it a little better.

like Cromo said all versions are good

 

I'm currently using CS5

I am using Cs3 at the moment, I haven't seen any great need to upgrade as it does exactly what I need

Like what has been said, they are all good. Personally if you are going to spend the money you should go for CS4 because you could grab a good bargain since CS5 is out. CS5 doesn't have much more functionality than CS4.

CS5 is really good.If you have a proper knowledge of CS5.

cs5

CS4 and CS5.

 

I have CS4 on laptop and CS5 on Desktop

 

They are both good, CS5 has a few new features which are pretty cool!

Dreamweaver

 

Well I'll say what I always say Photoshop is over used. I love it but for photo-shopping.

 

Web design for me happens in the browser.

I would always say that if you are using Adobe Dreamweaver as your web editor use the same version/cs package as the version of dreamweaver e.g. dreamweaver CS4 and PhotoShop CS4, as sometimes colour matches, shapes etc dont exactly match up with previous or foward versions. I found this out after using PhotoShop CS3 with Dreamweaver CS4!

 

but as features go CS3 upwards and i'd say CS3 is easiest to use. but its up to you

CS3 - CS5

I dont get why people say CS3 is better... CS5 is exactly the same, it looks smarter and gives you more features

I do a lot of print design as well as web design and use InDesign for most of this. It's much quicker to create various layout options and you can easily update content and not have to worry about so many layers as you do in photoshop. As WBC said:

 

Well I'll say what I always say Photoshop is over used. I love it but for photo-shopping.

 

And I use illustrator for graphics that go into my designs.

 

I know a lot of designers use Photoshop for designing, but why, what are the advantages?conven

Ignore that "conven", don't know where it came from

CS4

CS4 seems better. I am not much familiar with CS5 until now.

earlier i used cs3 but these days i m using cs5 , so far i can say you can do more in cs5 and you can go in deep i hope you understand what i m trying to say
