What is the Cheapest way to get CS3?

Have you considered Photoshop Elements?

 

Photoshop Elements served me well for many years. I'm sure version 5 will be out for the Mac soon. Get That.

I'd stay away from the bootled software. Yes, it's cheap but I don't think it's right to buy it, just my opinion. I think PS is overpriced but PS Elements does most of the same thing at a fraction of the cost.

 

Elements is basically a consumer version of PS - worth checking out, read some reviews etc as it's very good value for money and just what you might be looking for...

 

What kind of camera do you have? Canon cameras come with a program called PhotoStitch (I think that's the name). It can stitch photos together. Doesn't do anything else, though. Not sure if it's considered freeware by Canon . . . perhaps a friend can hook you up if the license allows it. also, it works with any digital photos, not just canon ones.

 

I have Photoshop 7 on my Mac, is it possible for me to update straight to CS3?

 

A torrent file links to a file stored somewhere on the internet and makes the client download it. Not all torrents are illegal, such as OpenOffice and NeoOffice are both distributed this way...however, there is tons of dodgy stuff out there.

 

Great! And I have some Amazon vouchers knocking around as well

 

Is Elements 5 going to be a Universal app? I have Elements 4 running on my MacBook and it runs "ok".
