photoshop and other software

I'm dying to get my hands on some Photoshop. I used to have a burned copy, but when I redid my computer, it went with it. Now I'm looking at purchasing CS5, but hello pricey. The Photoshop Element software is much cheaper, but I'm not sure if it's going to give me the same results I want.

I know how to use layers and format pictures and such, so the CS5 wouldn't go wasted. Any ideas?

Re: photoshop and other software

  • I have cracked copy of CS3 after my laptop died and ate my last copy (given to me by my web designer BIL) - it's easily found as a bit torrent if you're not adverse to pirating.

    Get the Totally Rad Actions and Lab to go with it. I have the trial versions of each and they're awesome.

  • I tried getting my hands on a cracked CS5, but the code got messed up at the very end. I was so sad.

    My thought is to go with CS5 rather than just Elements so I can use the different downloadable actions and such. Not sure if Elements supports all that.

  • If you know anyone that's in college or a student you can get them to buy the educational version it's essentially the same as the regular just cheaper.

  • I work at a college, so the difference between Photoshop Elements and CS5 is about $100

    Just trying to figure out if it's worth it to get the professional fancy dancy CS5 or not.

  • I use Slickdeals.net and they often times have deals for the student edition for very cheap. Amazon.com often has is for 300ish. This deal for 150 I just searched would have been amazing.

  • yeah. that's the deal i'm thinking on right now. then the photoshop elements is only $50

    I think I should just go for CS5 and not have to worry about what i'm missing out on, but i'm worried it won't be user friendly enough for my day to day use. Although, I use picnik for most of that stuff.
