Photoshop question?
Okay. So I've been using GIMP for about two years now and generally as long as I have high quality photos to work with and with a lot of practice I'm fairly satisfied with the outcome of most everything I make. I never try to make anything terribly fancy with it but I feel like if I had the tools I could do a lot more graphic wise.

So I looked into getting Photoshop a while back and I just checked again tonight and it says that CS4 is $700 unless you're upgrading, where it's $200.

So, my question is, for all those using Photoshop did you really pay $700 for it? If not, how did you get your hands on it?

I guess this could go for PSP too, althought that's only listed as $60 on their wesbite, would users of that program recommend it as comparable to Photoshop?

	I got a student edition of Photoshop with my laptop when I was in grad school many, many, many moons ago. I update every other edition (I'm current right now but will not update to CS5, just wait for CS6) because that's how long update pricing lasts these days. I shudder to think how much I've spent on PS over the years, but yes, mine is legal. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm tempted to ask school if they give it to graphics kids, I may just have to switch majors if I can get my hands on it! (Reply to this) (Parent)
