SO i just got a macbook and iphoto is a joke. So i wanted to get photoshop, how much should i look to spend? and does anyone have one i can buy from them.

Also was thinking about final cut but its pretty expensive. And i dont have a good video camera so i dont really need it.

Any help +k

yes, its a free program.  i know a lot of people that use it. 

and on the subject of elements, don't get it.  its a super watered down basic version of photoshop.  it's shit.

Honestly why go through the hassle of using shitty free software when you can download the a trail of the real thing and find a serial code or crack online? With that said you should torrent Final Cut express if your just looking to edit every now and then but seriously look into torrents and cracks.

Use gimp, it's a great alternative to photoshop. And it has some places where it's better- for example, you have a list of actions you've done, and you can undo as far back as you can remember!

Unlimited undo's! in photoshop, you can only go one actin back (I think)

No your wrong. Seriously nothing is better than Photoshop for what it does. Thats why pretty much everyone in the graphic design industry uses it and pays hundreds of dollars for it. All the other programs are built off Photoshop. Just download the trial then torrent a crack or find a serial code its that easy and usually works for any other program out there.

If you have a mac google how to clear your adobe cache and then type the command in terminal and download it again. Not sure what to do if you have pc.

gimp is no where near as good as photoshop, why do you think its free and PS cost $600. really people its not hard unless your are a complete idiot with computers, my sister figured out how to get PS for free in 10 min. just download the trial of the adobe site, and while thats downloading google "adobe photoshop cs4 keygen mac", find a keygen for it, and when its done downloading and asks for the cd key just enter a key from the keygen you found.

you have to download a program called a keygen.(key generator) you click find key and it will find one for you to put into the trial version that you download off thier site. if that one doesnt work, go back to your keygen and dl a new one.

umm well just look around google or youtube. lots of youtube videos will tell you exactly where to go and what to do so you dont fuck up. but yea make sure you read up on the program if theres a comment section. if theres a virus the comment section will get flamed with bad comments saying virus or bad or something. id say check youtube before google because that has a good comment system and alot of people will have exactly what you are looking for
