Help finding a good Photoshop

#1 Post by Twilight »

Okay, well i do a lot of photography and I like fixing them up in Photoshop. Well, al I have is an old PS 2.0 and, well you cant get really far. I have a lot of job opportunities but I cant take them, because I can never get my photos to look well. So i need advice on a good not so exspensive PS thats not too hard to use. I've downloaded trial version of CS2 and, it looks like you can do a lot with it but it's so $$/

So, can anyone help me? :hug:

If you can, try ebay, you can probably get a copy of CS2 for about 200 dollars, which is pretty good for CS2.

You can also try Amazon's used copies.

Craig's List might also turn up results (i don't know where you live, so I can't check your area)

If you're a student, you can try Academic Superstore or Sprysoft for Photoshop. I know if you meet the requirements, you can get $1000 off of the Adobe Creative Suite, which is an awesome deal.

I've used Academic Superstore before.

Ooh, good idea. So which kind of photoshop would I get if I want to doctor photos, make sets and stuff like that?

And is Paint Shop Pro Photo XI any good?

If all you're after is editing photos, get some cheap.

Photoshop is mainly used for texturing models, or advanced web design.
