Hey all, i keep hearing about photochop this and that, and im just wondering if getting photoshop is really worth the 649, price tag that i see on their website. Im trying to make a design for my car, and as far as i know, the best digital editing software that can doit, is said program...hmm, just lookin for opinions and thoughts, and maybe a better ot cheaper program.....anywho, thanks

If you want to buy it, you could go to any University and buy it from their computer store. You should be able to purchase one in "educational price". Hopfully they don't check your student ID.

there are cheaper programs like Paint shop pro
my computer came with a watered down version of photoshop called photoshop elements.
I wouldnt buy the $600 version unless you are a professional and will make a profit off it.

hmm, but is paint shop pro anygood.................dont wanna buy it just because its cheap..........

you can get adobe photoshop elements much cheaper i think, I have both photoshop and premere elements but I was able to get em free somehow. and no its not worth that price tag unless your gana use it like crazy, I do web dev and stuff so I use it plenty.

I was gonna post some SOMEHOWS but soemthing stop me.

I used to have Photoshop 7.0, which I got from work. Now I have the full version of Photoshop CS2 v.9

I paid $0 for it

there are ways

From what I know Photoshop and Paintshop Pro both will allow you to achieve the same results. It's really up to you to give which company a try.

Though, I've been using Photoshop daily since version 3. I'm sooooo used to how it works it's really hard for me to let go of it and spend time to learn Paintshop Pro.
