If you are making any money from the use of Photoshop then you have no excuse for not paying for it. If you use it without paying then you are dishonest and a thief. At least have the fortitude to admit it to yourself if no-one else. I know cognitive dissonance is a b*tch but claiming the US government kills innocent people therefore I can steal other people's hard work while complaining if they misuse my photos doesn't make a lot of sense.
Before anyone complains about the cost of the software they should consider that the barriers to entry in this industry are actually very low. At least we don't have to set up a factory or re mortgage our homes to produce our goods or get our businesses up and running.

Just got a new catalog from Academic Superstore. Adobe is offering crazy prices for college students (about $200 each less than the usual academic pricing) right now on the entire CS packages:

Adobe CS4 Design Premium - $398.95 (MSRP $1799.00)

Adobe CS4 Web Premium - $348.95 (MSRP $1699.00)

Adobe CS4 Design Standard - $298.95 (MSRP $1399.00)

You can take a couple classes at the community college with the money you'll save!

I heard CS5 is coming out in the new year so they want everyone to buy now and upgrade again in the spring.

I bought a new Intuos and it has a PS coupon for $249. I don't need PS, I can live with what I have - I need the whole suite.

I am taking a correspondence course, wonder if that qualifies for student pricing.

The standard academic licensing is pretty broad and includes all levels of school from elementary through college, and as a parent of a child in school, and of course teachers. This particular promo only applies to college students, which they define as at least a 2 year degreed program.

Not sure if that would fall under the regular academic guidelines. The Adobe site would probably be the best place to check.

Interesting a person who bragged to us that he had a pirated version of photoshop is now claiming to have purchased it. In fact he asked us for a copy of the full suite. I told him no.

Just a note about the Student Editions -

I do some work with Adobe - you can get the Student Editions of Creative Suite 4 for up to 80% off, as long as you're a student an accredited university. You can find all the eligibility requirements at newbielink:http://studenteditions.adobe.com [nonactive].

The Student Editions have all the features and functionalities of the full version of Creative Suite 4. Another benefit to not pirating - with the Student Editions, you're eligible to upgrade to the full commercial version after you graduate, for just the price of the upgrade.

Any questions, let me know!
