    How to get photoshop for less than 600 bucks?

    Ideas? Hacks? Mom jokes?
    Drive slow, homie.

    1) steal it
    2) make friends with a student and get an educational discount
    3) buy a used copy
    in increasing order of legality

    All the torrents look iffy. And they have huge pages of instructions, which seem to only sometimes work, and half i searched people said were virused. Have a proven recomendation?

    Craigslist in Denver. You'll probably find someone down here selling a copy for cheap.

    Or just pay $30/month or $199 a year for a subscription to it.

    Thanks ben. Already found a great deal. For some reason I didn't think to check craigslist.

    the earlier versions have super simple patches.. so if you don't care about the newer additions then it's great. still rocking CS2 and for what I use it for, it's just as good as the latest

    No worries dude - there's a guy on CL down here that sells tons of software for cheap, could be legit or it could be an easy way to lose money. We're hoping to get up to CB this summer finally - I'll give you a shout for sure if it happens.

    Probably the same pirated software they sell in Asian markets for cheap. No telling what other spyware is bundled with it, but no doubt they're honest software pirates and would never add something to capture your credit card numbers and bank log-in.

    If you need to ask this in 2012, you deserve to get busted buying pirated software from some dude on Craigslist that did what you could do in less than an hour if you weren't a fucking idiot.

    Another vote for open-source GIMP. Free, legal, good. Not great, but great for the price.

    I don't recall asking for pirated software.

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

    And you think that nice fella on craigslist is selling you a copy he hasn't already installed or downloaded himself?

    I used to work at a video store. We'd open the boxes, take the tapes out and put in plastic boxes and reseal the originals back in plastic. I was 15 years old, it isn't rocket science. Why would someone buy software, never use it and sell it to you for cheap? It's either stolen or not-legit. The ONLY way I could see this being legit is if he was a student, got it at the student rate and selling it to you for more than he paid.

    So again, you're not very smart about this stuff.

    Maybe. Got some good advice here with the exception of the normal douchebags.
