Photoshop cs5 (extended)?

Gnomer

Hi their,

I was just wondering from peoples previous experiences, what the cheapest way of getting adobe photoshop for, because it looks extremely pricey...

All feedback appreciated, thanks

The cheapest way is if you are a student and apply for a student version, and if not then apply to to even an evening course and that will usually allow you to get accreditation to get the software at the student price. The are also versions of CS4 on Ebay that you can upgrade cheaper than buying the new version but you have to be very careful as if you don't get a legit copy you could loose your money.

In the meanwhile look at gimp on sourceforge and sumopaint online.

hope that helps

Save, save, save; that's what I did haha

I've heard a lot of great things about cheaper products recently though, especially Pixelmator

Be very careful with discounted software, and always search for reviews on the site before buying. Adobe are pretty controlling about who they supply and I know people who have been burnt by trying to pick up a real bargain. I am not saying that link is a scam but I would certain have a look at the link below and do more searches about the supplier.

old_kipper, are you restricted in any areas on the trial? i.e. you can't save or use certain tools?

Be careful, search for reviews regarding that site. For example: Is this website legit?
