perhaps that's because you are a colorado cunt who can't read?

Good farking luck cracking newer photoshop versions. Obviously it can be done but fuck...that, not nearly as easy as some other programs.

GIMP does look cool. Photoshop just seems to be the standard though.

You want it because it's the standard? Fuck photoshop, if you are not doing any graphic design manipulation crap then buy Lightroom 4 and use Gimp2 for any of your manipulation needs. If all you are doing is editing photos and standard workflow stuff then go with LR. The only thing I don't like is the cloning stamp, but it's easy to do in Gimp so no biggie.

Um, yeah, just use Lightroom. Please. I need more job security.

Here is what you are looking for:

Glad you found a sale. I have just been buying older versions for pretty cheap. I am not at my office and can't remember the supplier but I bought older versions of PS, AI and inDesign for less than $100 each.

LOL... You're kidding me right?

I know right? A quick search on Wikipedia showed me the latest version which was then popped into my favorite Swedish connection, took under a minute to get the latest and greatest.

Few questions sort of come up here...

1.) The standard for what? Ahhh a photo editing program, the standard!
2.) Craigslist? Really? $100? Software? Some guy? A lot of those should never been in the same sentence which is why I fragmented all of them into there own parts.
3.) You basically helped commit an even worse crime. You've knowingly bought into the black market. At least with torrents as long as you aren't benefiting from a monetary stand point you're ok from an ethical point of view

The ignorance level in this thread, I would think people were trolling

this is an interesting stance, will you represent yourself or seek counsel?

so, for $300 on craigslist you are buying yourself immunity?

I've got a brand new (in shrink wrap) copy of CS5 I'll sell for $200.

The Mrs got it at an Adobe conference, so it's definitely legit.

Jesus christ there must be a lot saddle sores on some guys in this thread.

no, you still have to wear a condom and hope for the best.

I'll mail a perfectly legit copy of CS6 for $150. Don't worry about the manuals and the Memorex DVD the installer comes on or the txt file with serial number. Just install and make sure you aren't connect to the Internet while the installer runs...

Rshea already posted the best suggestion. Go to his link and download the trial. It's a fully functioning new version of PS. If you like it, and can't swing the enormous cost, they now offer a subscription based account, which allows you to pay per month at a surprisingly reasonable cost. If it's for work, that's obviously tax-deductible, and if you're a contractor, you can most likely expense that cost. I use PS sometimes for work, and have decided to go that route. Especially good for me since I don't use it enough to justify the total cost of buying it outright. Nice to have a legit, virus/spyware-free, easy to install version!
