so last night it was suggest to me to come over yonder and ask you lovely people for a little bit of help. i just got a new laptop with the lovely, impossible windows 8 and nothing is compatible with it. and by 'nothing' i mean, psp and photoshop. now, i was very lucky because my last laptop came with psp x2 and i had to switch from using photoshop to psp. this time i wasn't as lucky and could only download the 30 day trial of psp x6 and now it's long gone and i'm currently on a 30 day trial of photoshop cs6, which is terrifying and confusing to me. i'm one of those people who NEED to make my own icons because it helps me get into my character more (i'm weird) so the idea of losing this privilege is kind of sad.

my question is, does anyone have psp x6 (or x5, as long as it's 64 bit and windows 8 compatible), or a full crack of photoshop cs6 (or cs5, i'm guessing)? i know there's someone SOMEWHERE that's been able to do it, i just can't find that person and i'm at the point where i'm considering just BUYING psp. halp?!
