Did you pay for Photoshop?
Im just curious about this coz Ive used Photoshop for years & so have alot of my friends. As far as I know it costs a bundle but I dont even know anyone who paid for it. I just did a search & its all over Kazaa too so I guess Im hardly the only one. So did you pay?
Thanks for your time. |
i got mine free with my printer I think. or something like that - anyhow I got a free one.
|
<-- going straight to hell :)
however, i WOULD, and i WILL when i can afford it. :D |
I don't even have PhotoShop, I use Micrografx and Picture Publisher. (It's all kind of old but works well)
|
Making funny pictures isn't worth the 200 or so dollars they want to charge you. Even so, I paid, with the laughter of a child, the most precious gift anyone could give!
|
Before I didn't, but I'm saving up to buy it for school though.
|
First, I didn't vote in the poll because I don't have Photoshop.
Photoshop would be nice to have since it is the "standard" for those types of programs. But the reality is that I don't have enough use for it to even justify getting it for free. I did get my wife Photoshop Elements for Christmas to handle the pictures she takes with her Digital Camera. But that still isn't really Photoshop. Note: Since the option was added to say that I "don't have Photoshop", I added my vote. |
if it's software piracy alone that condemns my eternal soul, I'll be surprised.
|
Have Photoshop and image maker from Adobe...Split the cost of about $700.00 with three othe users...Better than any Dark room you ever had!

What printer that's a killer deal. Phaenx man if it was $200 alot more people would buy it I bet, no, it costs $600. As for myself, yeah I have a beta copy of 7, hell it just expired so if I want to use it I have to roll back my clock. But I almost never use it and just fuck around with filters, as for resizing I can just use iPhoto or GraphicConverter (both free to me). But being a broke ass college student who will never make any money off PS work I feal no guilt. |
I didn't realize you had to purchase it.;)
|
|
I use photoimpression 4...came free with my 'puter.
|
I have it. didn't pay. Won't pay.
Actually, I don't have a legit program on my PC. :lol: |
There is a free version that comes with certain systems/printers. I think it is Photoshop LE. LE = Limited Edition.
Thats how I got my version. It is crippled, so if you really want to enjoy the full whatever of photoshop, you do not want the LE version. |
I had to buy Photoshop, running a business with pirated software is not a very good situition to be in.
|
I don't run a business of any kind, so I didn't purchase it. I do have some tight connections with several release groups. I haven't used any P2P program since Napster.
|
i dont have it in the first place.
i DID have it, and i didnt pay for that copy. i use paint shop pro and i didnt pay for it. |
got ps elements free with my wacom tablet
|
Didn't pay for it...but if I could afford it I would buy it....I like adobe products......
|
I have the 'free' copy in zip on cd... but haven't installed it or used it on my computer... does that mean i am doing something illegal?
|
Lesse, $700, of free? Free sounds like the better deal to me. I can't afford $700 and even if I could I wouldn't dish it out for a program that I very rarely use.
|
I'll happily pay for any software I use in a business situation. I've got no moral issues with pirating for personal use though - in fact if I like the program I often suggest at work that we buy it! :)
|
Have it for free, don't really use it (too much time to learn it).
I paid for the computer and the cable internet access, I can't afford any more. |
I use photoshop 7
HECK NO I DIDN'T PAY FOR THAT! ...i'm slooowly trying to move to the gimp so I'll feel less guilty. ps: i use photoshop like every day |
I bought it back around version 2 and paid for upgrades through version 5. Still use version 5 though and doubt I'll upgrade it any more (not enough bang for the buck).
|
Job buys me pretty much all the software I need - I simply have to ask for it. I even have Maya 5 Ulimited because of the job. Guess it kinda helps that my boss is in charge of licensing and software purchases where I work.
|
same as sixate,only short and bald
|
Ebay! I've seen it for about 75$ a few times. It's probably someone selling their retail copy while they keep the backup but I still don't feel as guilty about it that way :) The only problem is that it might take a while to get a good deal on it.
|
Intellectual property feeds my children
and puts a roof over our heads. You better damn well believe I've paid for every piece of software I use. |

I had an illigal copy (still have technically but it is not installed). Right now I am about 100% above board on software. I bought a thing from www.serif.com caled Photoplus. The best way to describe it is that it is like a 1 rev back of Photoshop. It has EVERYTHING that photoshop 6 has which is really nice. It is very powerful, and the interface is identical. You can get a free trial from www.download.com that is older, but after you DL it, sometimes they will contact you (make sure you register it) to offer you a full version for only $9.95!!!!!! That is what I got at least. |
nope. i dont have the money to pay for every piece of software i use recreationally. if i was to use it professionally, i would definitely pay for it. actually, when i graduated college i bought it, autocad, and 3dmax for about $500 total. they give real good deals to students and i was toying with the idea of getting into computer generated architectural representations (i have a degree in architecture) and thought it would be worth having. i kept upgrading PS until win95 came out and when they charged me $100 to upgrade to a version that supposed would work and didnt and then offered a X.1 that would work for an additional $100, i said 'cya'.
|
Work bought it for me but I did buy Premiere with my own money. Bought are worth the price of admission. I believe Adobe has a really good educational discount. To those still in school you may want to ask at the school bookstore.
|
No I did not. I do have morals, but they're not worth $ 500 :)
|
I'm getting frequent flyer milage to hell ;)
|
I paid a $100 to someone on eBay for a number of Adobe products. They said they were licensed. Well, they weren't. The dude was busted and Adobe sent me an email saying the products weren't legit but have fun (<- my words, not theirs).
However, I have a legit copy of Photoshop 4 that I could upgrade for $150. I probably will when I get my laptop. |
what's this thing called paying? ;)
|
I don't have it, for what little image work I do the GIMP works just fine.
|
If it was 50.00 I would pay. For what it costs I would never buy it. I do have it though.
|
GraphicConverter for me. I only resize shit to post on message boards for the most part.
