Photoshop CS2

Please don't criticize me. I am using CS2 on a fast quad core PC that I built(Win 7 pro, Quad 3.4 I5,SSD, 16 gb ram)
I am amazed how well this old software performs. It accepts the latest plugins (Nik collection, PTLens). I know it doesn't handle RAW, but I have other software that does, convert to TIFF, then use CS2.
Before you try to get me to upgrade...I also use Elements 2018, 2013 and GIMP on my PC, Aperture , Affinity and GIMP on my MAC.
Anyone else using this old workhorse???? By the way it is now free.

Why would anyone criticize you? Use what works, for you.

I have a friend using Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 3.6 for his D7000. He has no interest in upgrading. Why? This is all he needs.

Seriously? This is UHH. A reason is not necessary.

As they say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I'm using CS6, and I'll keep using that till it doesn't work any longer. It's a good sign that CS2 still works.
As for free, that's debatable. People have followed the steps to download it, but were never able to actually get the program, myself included. I mailed my copy of CS2 to a member here, but it never arrived, and the post office wasn't able to locate it.

I wasn’t thinking. Please replace “would” with “should”😉

It sure handles raw images, but it does not support recent updates!

IMO most photographers don't need to pay for the latest PS CC because all of the feature that they really need to lean and use where in CS5 & 6. But you will strike problems running older Adobe software if you try to upgrade your Mac to anything newer than 10.9.
