Photoshop Version

This question was sent in by Elle:

Hi... I have Photoshop open and I'm starting with Chapter 1. I have Version 6.0 of the software in my PC, and I'm wondering if all the exercises will function ok? I think I'm behind in my upgrades because I didn't get very far learning it prior to now. Thanks.

And here is my reply:

The book concentrates on basics, so it should be fine with almost any version of Photoshop from 6.0 to the current version. In a few places in the book, mention is made of particular tools that are located in a different place in different versions. But generally, the tools and techniques apply to almost any version.
