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.

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.

Photoshop? Not Photoshop Elements or something else?

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

That is why I made the switch. It sucks sometimes, but what can you do.

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.

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.
