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?

Ok...
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Wacom+-+Bamboo+Craft+Pen+and+Tablet+-+Silver/9468989.p?id=1218110423193&skuId=9468989&st=wacom%20tablet&cp=1&lp=6

This is pretty cool, you get a table,Photoshop Elements, and Corel Painter Essentials. Now these are the cheaper versions of the software and as such don't have all the fancy tools that the full version or CS versions have. Does it really matter? Depends on what you are looking to do. Really I've only noticed the selection tools are a bit more educated and make smoother lines. That and I think you can do more 3D rendering (well do it in general as opposed to not in the cheaper versions). Beyond those two things, I've never noticed much difference. I'm pretty advanced when it comes to Photoshop but I'm also no expert.

To get the free version depends on your computer. If it's a Mac then there is something called cereals which you can basically get any mac software for. Be warned that the one major virus for the Mac was attached to CS5 this way.

There is a site... http://www.serials.ws/index.php .... that lists key gens. Most work. The only downside to the site (to some people at least) is all the side porn ads.

There is also a website ...http://thepiratebay.org/... that has a lot of stuff on it. Look around, love it.

Your journal is Bad Ass so if you need any help just PM me or something.
