Photo shop CS3

[MartinM1]

Hi guys does anyone have a copy of photoshop cs3 they want to liberate. A keen photographer mate of mine is about to loose his job so is thinking of doing something buy himself.

Thanks in anticipation

Radical thinking I know but couldn't he just buy a copy?

Or more realistically, if he's just lost his job, why not buy a copy of Elements? 15% of the cost of CS3, but it still has a huge amount of functionality.

or use gimp- the freeware photoshop. can do pretty much most of the things photoshop can

I bought a full version of CS3 from Amazon for £400, I thought that was a bargain.

You dont think DOGSEY as he just lost his job money could possibly be a bit tight, just a thought.

I've been really wanting to like GIMP. But frankly it underlines why OpenSource is fundamentally st.

I work for a software company. If I was made redundant next week but really need a Porsche for a new company venture, I wouldnt think about taking one from the nearest dealer. It's not on

Sorry, thems the breaks

There's a trial available, a lo-cost option with Elements or freeware applications

ETA - someone on another thread recently said they bought a second owner copy of something. I dont understand how the licensing works but might be worth looking at

Surely anyone who does photography,even at hobby level , has some form of software manipulation ?

Indeed, as I say at least once a week on here for Canon users you cannot go far wrong than with DPP which ships with any of their cameras. OK no layers etc but if you get the shot right first time round and all that

Don't you think that a workman should pay for his tools rather than stealing them?

When it comes to CS3/4 pricing I can see the temptation but its the price and if you want to use it you should pay. Hypocritical of me considering for some time I used CS2 on a long term evaluation, but my defence at the time was no commercial use and learning.

If you must have features of CS4 but cannot afford it then either elements or Paintshop Pro are good tools or GIMP is a feature rich free version just with a horrible interface.

Pistonheads is not a forum for discussing/seeking pirated software - torrents are for that. But as a warning several friends of mine had their PC's mysteriously crash in a big way after they updated their hooky versions of Adobe products. Without proof to suggest that perhaps the manufacture actually did anything, just as MS did with XP, they are within their rights. Also if you do seek out hooky software how sure are you of the contents of the files you install. Keygens etc are renound for hiding trojans.

If your mate is any good as a photographer then surely they already have access to software.
