Do you use the 32bit or 64bit version of Photoshop CS4 for Windows? | ||||
I only use the 64bit version all of the time and I rather avoid 32bit plugins than using the 32bit version of Photoshop CS4. | 19% | |||
I mainly use the 64bit version, but I feel forced to switch to the 32bit version in order to use 32bit plugins. | 11% | |||
I mainly use the 64bit version and do not mind using the 32bit version of Photoshop in order to use some plugins. | 3% | |||
I mainly use the regular 32bit version, although I would be able to use the 64bit version of Photoshop CS4. | 11% | |||
I only use the regular 32bit version of Photoshop CS4, because I do not have the 64bit version of Windows Vista or XP. | 32% | |||
I use an older version of Photoshop. | 24% | |||
