Hoping someone would be able to put this sequence into one frame, so there would be 6 riders with the same background. The dust cloud can stay or go, it's up to you! Thanks, my ride report has zero riding pics until someone can give me a hand with this. I don't have PhotoShop yet, but I did tie my camera to a tree to get this sequence today.

I don't need a uber pro job, just if you feel like throwing together a cool little sequence, it would be fun to see the end result! Thanks!

Buy the student version if you dont plan on selling your work. Or get it bootleged. I use it at my school, and its a pain because I don't get that much time in and its hard to learn the program.

Student version is dirt cheap. I think you can get the complete cs2 suite for $99 or something insane. Definately worth it. As far as I know, selling work has nothing to do with it. The only pre-requ is that you are a student.

WOW $99 for a computer program?! Jeez. Thank God the iBook came with almost everything already on it!

So, if I find a friend with a disc, do I need any special activation codes to start it up? I had Adobe photoshop 4.0 on my old computer back in the states, and if I remember correctly, it needed some fancy code that Adobe would give you after you called them.

I'm pretty afraid of downloading a virus. Aren't torrents the only way to download shiznit?

I think first I need to figure out how to get 2500 songs down from 9.6 gigs. That doesn't seem normal. Might be a good idea to buy an external hard drive, huh?

Are you serious? $99 is almost free. Photoshop is an $800 program.

Thanks for the tip off, Transcend. When I go back to school in the fall full-time I'll be taking advantage of that :thumb:

Photoshop is every bit as integral to a good photographer's process as a camera body or lens.

i think it's more than $99...i had my dad (ex college professor) look into getting an educational copy of CS2 and the price he told me was $300.

btw, chicodude, the keygen hack will get you a serial number but not an activation number.

SS, I've used GIMP. It's good, but it doesn't really compare to CS2.

It does when you compare the prices. :D

I wouldn't argue with someone who is talking about doing professional stuff (although I'm sure there are pros using GIMP), but if someone wants full image manipulation capabilities at low cost, GIMP's the ticket.

Interesting. When i got my package awhile ago I coulda sworn it was way cheaper. Different universities will have it at different prices though, i know that for sure.
Click to expand...
Universities may have it for other prices, but see my link in the post above - that's standard educational pricing directly from Adobe.

If a university sells it for a different price, they must be getting another kind of discount, bulk discount pricing or something.

The Canadian peso devaluation? Isn't the CAD worth like $10 USD by now?

G-dub for life!

Lots of torrents have the keygens that can do both the serial and the activation number.

AHH, I didn't even know they did educational discounts directly. Adobe has PS alone listed at $300 at your link. That's insane for a student price.

I am with Transcend on this... a few months back I was shopping for some software for our school computers, and I looked at gradeware.com and thier price was super cheap!!! it has gone up since then, I think it was around $149 for the cs package... now its $389 for the CS2 bundle! still a deal, but I wish it was only $99

You can also talk to your IT guys and ask if they have the program available for the department. I know that I can get SciFinder Scholar (like a $40,000 program w/licenses), Acrobat, PS, Premiere, MathCAD, and a ton more for free for free through the department. They usually purchase enough licenses to cover everyone in the department, including students.

Huh? What does that have to do with student pricing?
Click to expand...
i figure if they sell X copies, but don't sell Y copies due to people getting illicit copies, then they can make up some of that profit deficit by charging a higher amount initially on the units they do sell. just a guess; i really know nothing about pricing decisions.

I honestly doubt it. They sell PS for $800 normally. The student idea is to simply get students hooked on adobe products while they are learning so that as design professionals, they just gravitate to adobe during the rest of their careers. (I guess with PS this really isn't an issue. Nothing compares.)

I'm 90% sure CalPoly will give away hella computer programs. Won't be in America until this summer, but that sounds better than spending $300 on a program I'll get bored with in 20 minutes, or 5 sequences.
