Do you own your copy of Photoshop?
 

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

:uhoh :uhoh :uhoh :uhoh :uhoh :uhoh

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

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

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...

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.

Paid in full.

yes....

:upsidedow

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

Mind if I ask what you do in this industry?

not at all.

:winkwink:

Yes I own it.

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.

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.

Yeah, my version is 100% legit :uhoh

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

So, what do you do?

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?

just another designer.... coming up on 10 years..
ugh.

Examples of your work?

I have 2 copies of photoshop.
2 photoshop 6's, and 1 CS and 1 CS2 upgrade. :)
Legal software is cool. I don't want to be ripped off..therefore, I will not rip anyone off.
