Hi guys, Could someone help me out. I am soon to finish college and as a student I can get Adobe products at a hugely reduced priced. I was wondering as I only require photoshop, in design and illustrator is the new CS5 version worth buying in consideration of all the problems with flash, and apple and adobes current arguments. Also can anyone name any other similar software that would be just as good and would run on the latest 2010 MBP. Thanks.
Wait for CS5 and try the trial. IMO CS5 will be worth it as it'll be 64-bit and can use more than 3GB of RAM
That's great thanks my student discount at the moment is well worth the purchase. Was just a bit concerned with the whole apple and adobe flash situation at the moment.
Well, CS5 was made before the biggest fuss about Flash and in the end, Adobe only cares about money and if I recall correctly, 50% of sold Creative Suites are for Mac. Wait for it, it's only like a month away and if you don't like it, get CS4
Thanks for the reminder. I can no finally make use of that intelligent filling system with my shots of stuffed animals in front of whatever it that is hidden behind them. And now those sci-fi shows with footage being visible behind objects or persons have a physically sound explanation.
Conten-aware FILL sucks. Before After Hmm, still time to give it back to them. I hate uploading big files. But seriously, it seems to be faster a small bit than CS4 on the same machine. And I haven't dabbled yet.
Hi If you buy the educational version of adobe software it isn't meant for commercial use (paid work). Check the license you get with it. Hence why it is so much cheaper.
Sorry done some digging into it. It is ok to use for commercial use. http://www.adobe.com/uk/education/students/studentteacheredition/faq.html
Well, and you can't upgrade to CS6 at a reduced price. Generally I don't buy these versions because their hidden limitations suck big time.
