I am a student and can get the cheaper one but i was wondering are the the same product or is cheaper one missing some features??

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Could some PS experts tell me :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank You :D

I dunno what site you've been looking at, but the full version is only $600..

points to my evil looking location

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i know its US$600

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

im talking in NZ$ Sorry for the confusion :wink:

The upgrade from PS7 is $200-300 if you have it, otherwise, yeah it's $600.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

$1336 is a lot of money for PS, it must come with some others. Definately go with the $600 one though.

i dont have any adobe software atm :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DSE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thats where i would buy from :wink: only place in my area that stocks it :?

BUMP!! :shock:

*cough*Download it*cough*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Haha, just kidding ;). I'd go for the much cheaper one.

*cough*Download it*cough*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Im not like u :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Haha, just kidding ;). I'd go for the much cheaper one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i was leaning that way too..... but does it have all da features?? im not a image program expert :roll: :wink:

I think that they're the same things. Lot's of places like [bleep] Smiths, and Noel Leeming sell stuff cheaper to people with student ID's to make life easier. They even sell stuff like firewalls cheaper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So if you do go down to get it, DON'T forget your student ID like I always do ;).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I'm sure over 50% of people that have PS have downloaded it illegally...

i got it free, full version and everything :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

go for the most expensive one, its better :lol:

The student version has all the same features as the main version. The contention is that when you have a student version you do not use it to make money ie pro business.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have owned both the student and full versions at various times and would not have been able to tell the difference aside from the info on the box type thing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I suggest you also look at ebay, they sell the student version there usually about 50 bucks cheaper in the box than you can buy at your local store or from an online college book store (careful though not to get ripped off by someone just selling a copy).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IDPUP :)

Or if youre looking for a basic but functional freeware program then use The Gimp, a freeware graphics program that I use :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.....(mainly because I can't afford photoshop)

If your having trouble affording CS (yes, its quite 'overpriced'), Photoshop 7 will work fine. Its a lot cheaper, though i don't know where you can find it (ebay? :lol:), and still has most of the tools. The main features it lacks are the customizable hotkeys and the sub-sets, as well as a few other things in CS but not 7.

Just download it, even my graphics teacher tells us to download stuff, he gives us all software on CD's for free :P

ya i know half of NZ is a sad illiegal downloaders and im not talking just about music :x Ya im getting a student ID card in about a week i got my last program from there without one they never asked for one :roll: well maybe the 1st word of the stores name is what works there :wink: Off to school cya

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BTW i have to order this program in they dont stock it . And Led i looked on noel lemmings, harvey norman and dses sites only dse stocks it if u find me wrong i would be interested to know :wink:

Adobe has recently released Photoshop Elements 3.0 for Mac and PC. It is described as a hobbyist version of CS, and it's only a hundred dollars. I'd go for that if you aren't looking for illegal copy, or just go to Limewire and download.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope this helps! (I have the full version, so I can't comment on Elements, but I hear it is quite good and full of features).

at home i use elements 2.0 which i purchased for just 55$ usd. It isn't bad, although it doesn't have a lot of the text features and brush abilities. If you're budget is low though, i'd highly recommend it (so much cheaper!!!)
