Hey everyone,
Ok I know this may sound dumb, but I was wondering if Photoshop was a software program that you have to buy somewhere, for example CompUSA, Best Buy, ect. ect., or if it is downloadable from the net. I see some of the work that people do on here and its something I want to get into and try. If anyone can give me some information on this I would deeply appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

 

it is a program that you buy. it is around...$500? i think.. it's pretty pricy to be somethin u get to 'try out'. tho there's always illegal downloads...

 

Ok, so where can I get it? Any computer store like CompUSA or Best Buy maybe?

 

buy online, but try going to compusa and best buy

 

Order it online. Much cheaper. Also, for the $400-500 it will cost you, you might as well spend $800 and get the entire Adobe Creative Suite package that includes Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and I believe GoLive as well.

Some online stores make it available for download immediately after you purchase it as well. Hope you have broadband internet speeds...

 

if you want a slightly cheaper solution, try adobe elements 2.0, its a cut-down version of photoshop, and it is more than enough for the beginner to average user...
been using photoshop since version 3... and now its at 8..

 

buy the educational version if you can, it will be much cheaper.
