ouguitarman Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Adobe gives CS2 out for free. The video shows how to use those features in that version to get what you need for graphics on your cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrajag Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Strictly speaking it's not free. It was made available to allow existing CS2 licence holders to keep using it after the licence server was switched off. However, that won't stop me from giving it a go if I can ever find enough time to devote to it! Not sure if it works with 64 bit Win7 and up? I've not watched the video yet as I'm at work, but I take it there's no pen tool in CS2? That's sort of a mandatory requirement around these parts as I understand it.

billpa Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I've not watched the video yet as I'm at work, but I take it there's no pen tool in CS2? CS2 has the pen tool. The pen tool has been around since version 2 which was like 15 years ago. Boy do I feel old now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
