I have heard that you can install photoshop... hmm... 3 or so times? On different PC's... kind of like when you buy a Antivirus thing. Get together with 3 people, or however many it allows, and split up the price. Photoshop, really is, worth all the money. It's just a steep price. I give you credit for wanting the legit stuff. Good luck in your field!

And once you buy it, you have it forever.



It can also be illigal in a way, that if you use it to edit your pictures, then sell your pictures... that doesn't look good either.

if u can't afford photoshop for your job then it's not worth it. if gimp will suffice for your job then use it. if gimp isn't good enough dl photoshop or buy it. it's easy.

If Adobe charge 100 bucks instead a thousand for Photoshop I would definitely buy it...

I am amazed by how self-righteous some people are especially in the photography forums. I am sure most people have broken the law once or twice in their life and the politicians who make the laws and law enforcement officers are no exception the difference between them and the criminals is that they never got caught. Also everyone I know including people I know in this forum has downloaded files through torrent sites so I guess they are all a bunch of thieves...

Gimp = opensource and powerfull
Ufraw, for editing .Raw images

i only use those both programs an i am happy with them
get them from sourceforge.com
