I've been using Paint Tool SAI for a year now and although I absolutely adore it, I also wanted to look into getting Adobe Photoshop for my digital art. However I've come across a few problems that I need help with. Two things really...
1. Is there a specific Adobe Photoshop that is good for digital art? I've seen a lot of digital artists use Photoshop but when I went to go buy it there seemed to be several different kinds of Photoshop.
2. Is Adobe Photoshop a monthly/yearly payment or a one-time payment?
(Any sort of information is helpful! ^^ )

New Decade!
A new year calls for a new journal entry!
2019, much like the year before, was a crazy one for me. I say that in the best way possible though. I've met a lot of new and great people this year who have largely shaped who I am today. I've grown a lot as a person and for that I am incredibly proud. I have more confidence in myself and what I do than I ever had before. Which only makes me more excited for this coming year!
One of my biggest accomplishments regarding my artwork has been the progress I've made on a web comic I'm working on. Though it is no where near done; it's been a lot of fun creating concept ideas for it and the characters mo
New Year!
It's been a while since my last journal entry but I figured I could do a little one to start off the new year!
2018 was an absolutely insane year for me, incredibly busy, long hiatus, and thus my art was minimal. So unfortunately I probably won't be doing a 2018 summary of art like I have in previous years, only because I don't think I have enough art to plug into all the months. Nevertheless the art I have accomplished this year I think has been some of my best! Not to mention I started working on this huge project and I mean I have genuinely worked on it. (Not like all the other 'big projects' I claimed to have 'started on' but really I wo
Greetings!
~Hello~
I am back from my incredibly long hiatus! I haven't really gotten to draw during that 2 month period so I won't have anything to post for a while. It's been absolutely crazy but I'm ecstatic to be back! Even if I have 14,000 messages on DeviantArt to sort through. XD I've got a lot of drawings planned and I can't wait to put them into action!
Break
My first journal in a long time and probably going to be among the shortest. Basically I'm going on a Hiatus for a while so I'll be absent from DeviantArt. I look forward to coming back though and eager to create more art! Until next time,
~SweetDreams

1. I have CS2 on this laptop and used CS3 a lot in the past, but I lost the program when that computer died a couple years ago. CS2 now is a bit of a downgrade but I don't find that it's missing anything major-- I'd say that's the absolute minimum if you have to go PS. But I have SAI and PS2 here and I use SAI for the majority of my work. I think it's better for colouring and the lines are cleaner. The two edges PS has are more advanced colour editing options (SAI NEEDS more than HueSatBri and Contrast, plz and thx!) and the Liquefy filter. Also way more layer modes, but I hardly ever use those anymore. Photoshop is now just my tool for fixing proportions in sketches and doing any post-processing. So I would disagree with the other two and say go CS2 or CS3. (But I've never tried anything above CS5, the trial download for Cloud was hell on my connection and CS6 I just haven't bothered with.)
3. The versions I have were one-time payment. In retrospect, not sure they were entirely worth it, especially since there's pixlr.com/editor/ for everything but Liquefy.
Whatever you decide to go with, I'd strongly suggest choosing a version that will let you do a trial. If you don't love it after a month, don't buy it.
