Beer tokens on offer...

I downloaded cs5.5 master edition when I got my mac, it has everything

 

[Mr_Ben]

Look on the adobe website and don't be so cheap

That or get the new version of elements, 9 I think it's on now, has most things full PS has for waaaay less than the full version.

 

[Courtney]

Yeah I would recommend the adobe site, you never know what your downloading otherwise..

Where? From a torrent site?

Haaa! :lol: I know I'm being cheap but......

I've already got photoshop on my iMac, had it for years, borrowed the CD's off a mate back at Uni, he's since lost the CD's.
I'm off to work out to Australia in October for 3 months so I'm buying a laptop to use out there.

I've got a photo editing website (www.fotoflatter.co.uk if you're interested) which I run from my iMac. So I plan to use a laptop for work out there but also to edit any photo orders I get.
So I really don't fancy splashing out £600 for some software that I'll only need for 3 months and especially after I've just forked out a bag for a new laptop....

Why not look at the GIMP. I use it all the time. It's great, very powerful and free!

No, I learnt the mistake from using torrent sites when we got a court order for illegally file sharing... Ooops!

Thanks mate. I've got that and it doesn't quite hold a torch to photoshop.

So you run a photo editing business, yet haven't previously and won't pay for the software your using / want to use :roll:

I bet you expect your clients to pay for your work, much like the Adobe developers expect users to pay for their work

I wouldn't really call it a business, more like a hobby. Only been doing it for a year or so and have barley made £100 form it! :lol:
I got my copy of photoshop about 5 years ago when I was doing photography at Uni from a mate. You couldn't really expect me to pay £600 when I was a student could you? I've been happily using that up until now when I just need it on another computer for 3 months when I'm out of the country. Not too much to ask is it?

 

[singlespeed]

As a student, you wouldn't have paid the full price anyway. Students get a huge discount on Adobe products, including CS... Well, the ones who actualy pay for it do

I suppose if your hobby takes off into a profitable business, you would refund Adobe for their borrowed software. Ok, I guess not

 

[weebob]

Choice is a beautiful thing and out of choice breeds consequence.

One way you are legal, get support from the developers if you have problems etc etc, but your pocket is £400/£500 lighter.

The other way you are breaking the law, get no support, will burn in hell, all your first born will be ginger, but you will have the £400/£500 still in your pocket.


Choice is yours, and its not for me to care about which route you take completely up to you.

 

[Mr_Ben]

Actually Adobe is having a sale and it's under £400 now and elements is much improved over recent versions, I don't run 9 I've got 8 on my MacBook

Dammit! Didn't know that at the time. Then again I probably would have done the same :lol:

I know where you're coming from mate. It's not very decent of me to pinch it but I'm not a very decent person :lol:

If fotoflatter was a big fat cash cow then I'd go down all the proper routes to buying sofware and feel good about it. But...considering the average order cost a client £5, I'd have to save up for a long time to afford it.

Off topic, if it's being run as a business, you could write off the expence against any profit, likewise the laptop

Although, your prices are rather cheap for the restoration fixes, which can quite easily consume time at an alarming rate to do a decent job where a simple clone isn't enough
