Do you own your copy of Photoshop? - GoFuckYourself.com

V_RocKs · 02-08-2006, 07:10 PM

Did you buy it or "obtain it" in another manner?

Harmon · 02-08-2006, 07:11 PM

I didn't even know that PS was a pay program

StickyGreen · 02-08-2006, 07:12 PM

gotta plead the fifth on this one... :X

V_RocKs · 02-08-2006, 07:14 PM

I think the Adobe people have their heads up their asses...

If they would drop the price to $99 they would sell 4000% more licenses... and be making 10 times the money they do now... Ditto for the plugins people...

Tom_PM · 02-08-2006, 07:15 PM

Yep I do. Version 7 and paid right on the adobe site too, so it was like $600 or something. Tax writeoff at least.

When I first got onto the computer my brother who was a graphic designer hooked me up... So I literally didn't know it wasn't shareware for about 1 year... then when I saw the price I about died laughing... No wonder no one buys it!

BTW, this little piece of text is why I am puting up the poll... I am thinking about tax writeoffs...

I figure since I bought hundred dollar scripts like Smart Thumbs and TM3, I should probably support the mainstream companies and get a tax write off too.

mikeyddddd · 02-08-2006, 07:19 PM

Paid in full.

The Truth Hurts · 02-08-2006, 07:20 PM

Spunky · 02-08-2006, 07:33 PM

Nope..was given to me..still haven't quite figured it out yet

not at all.

Furious_Male · 02-08-2006, 07:54 PM

Yes I own it.

Sly · 02-08-2006, 07:56 PM

I don't use it but everything else I have is paid for. For non-designers, Paint Shop Pro is only $100 and works great.

Sly · 02-08-2006, 07:57 PM

And I don't think dropping the price to $100 would do Adobe any good. It isn't as if every Bob and Tom use PS. Its a specialty product and needs a higher price tag because of its smaller market.

Basic_man · 02-08-2006, 07:59 PM

Yeah, my version is 100% legit

You have a decent post count... I assume you have been around a while and pay attention...

So, what do you do?

V_RocKs · 02-08-2006, 08:05 PM

Wow.. This poll is way closer than I ever thought it would be.... So buying Photoshop.. hmm... Upgrades are $170... Looks like a decent deal...

Thanks for making my mind up for me...

WTF would I do without GFY?

The Truth Hurts · 02-08-2006, 08:05 PM
