I recently got the adobe photoshop cs4 extended. But have no idea how to use it. I just got it for the fun of it.
I saw a cs3 version and saw that I could do many cool things with it and that was how I decided to get the cs4 version thinking it would have cooler things available.
I want to know if things like for example: eye or hair color changing are also available in cs4 version or what is the difference?
Can some one help me?

Photoshop is a very complex program - not for beginners. It is very powerful, but the powerful tools are NOT "easy to use". In order to learn how to use these advanced features of Photoshop you should take a course, or buy a tutorial book or DVD.

There are very few differences between CS3 and CS4, and for a novice user these differences are probably unimportant. You can read about the new features here (http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshopextended/features/?view=topnew). If you can return the CS4 and get CS3 (at a significant cost savings) and put the savings towards books, videos, classes, etc. you will be MUCH further ahead.

I have to wonder here. Photoshop CS4 Extended goes for almost $1000. This is not something someone gets "just for the fun of it". Photoshop is a serious tool for graphics designers.

So I'm wondering is this is a legal copy.

If you go to a site like deviantart, or something, you can get tutorials on what subject you want to produce.

Sure... If you spent that much money on professional software that's beyond you, see about getting a refund and visit a site with a lot of legal free graphics downloads like this one (http://www.hsinlin.com/software/graphics.html). Let us know which one you pick and someone will be glad to help you out. :)

Ha I got CS4 Web Premium for the fun of it. Hello vingogly I am not too far from you. I got it for fun never using it and wanting to learn something new. On a side note I see mgtz83 came here to get help with the program he bought and all the responses he got did not help with the question he asked. I guess the same question he asked I have but sorry as I don't see people on this site willing to actually help. :(
