I have Photoshop 5.0 LE. I don't know about 5.5, but, one major disadvantage I encountered in 5.0 is that it can't handle layer effects. When I open up a PSD for Eternal in Photoshop, it tells me that it can't do layer effects, and alot of the things in it look kinda weird, quite different from what it actually looks like. I don't know about color tables, I've never worked with them (I only learned about gradients yesterday).
: I'm looking into buying a copy (new or used) of Photoshop 5.5 for Mac off
: eBay. Predominantly, there are Photoshop 5.5 "LE" (Light
: Edition?) versions for sale, running around th $10.00US mark.
: Now, I've found that I can't forever rely on the help of Simon (from Team
: Sigma) to help me out when I run into a colortable issue.
: Recently, I've found that the bitmaps of two monsters displayed correctly
: within their given custom imported colortabley when in the editing app .In
: game, they look horrible. I'm thinking it's because I only have
: "GraphicConverter" to work with colortables - and it can not
: index colortables like the Marathon engines shape file likes.
: Question : Does Photoshop 5.5 LE for mac handle colortables well - Or is
: program a cripple when it comes to such matters? What are the shortfalls
: of the Light Edition of this Adobe software?
: Thanks everyone!
