I understand the cost and many people don't want to pay it but please this is why the work is priced at what it is priced so even though you are starting out factor what software costs into your billing structure so that a) you can afford the upgrades as they come b) not kill the market by dropping your prices so low that it causes internal breakdown ! c) you create a sustainable job that doesn't go bankrupt due to using hacked or "student software bundles" Sat, 06 Jun 2009 20:39:40 GMT http://GOphotoshop.tribe.net/thread/3f9cfae3-df79-4070-8e4f-0ab480d2aa20#afd5b2f5-7aa7-4413-acf1-102d6ff9961e Byron 2009-06-06T20:39:40Z http://GOphotoshop.tribe.net/thread/3f9cfae3-df79-4070-8e4f-0ab480d2aa20#50311385-6461-474c-9a66-9a8299c78581 Student rates, much more affordable. http://www.studica.com/ Also, if you work for a non-profit, and qualify: http://www.techsoup.org Tue, 02 Jun 2009 18:01:16 GMT http://GOphotoshop.tribe.net/thread/3f9cfae3-df79-4070-8e4f-0ab480d2aa20#50311385-6461-474c-9a66-9a8299c78581 Soooz: biker/priestess 2009-06-02T18:01:16Z http://GOphotoshop.tribe.net/thread/3f9cfae3-df79-4070-8e4f-0ab480d2aa20#a05506bf-35b5-4fb9-b688-b1c223a8e314 ebay works.

Check the Adobe site for all the info. The first link here brings you to their educational info, the second link is the page describing who/what, etc they will give discounts to. You can buy direct from Adobe, or you can do a search on google for "academic software pricing" or something like that and you'll get tons of hits. The pricing seems to be the same, and for Photoshop it's $299. http://www.adobe.com/education/ http://www.adobe.com/education/purchasing/qualify.html Best wishes with it, Marc aka UCPhotog Sat, 11 Apr 2009 14:57:22 GMT http://GOphotoshop.tribe.net/thread/3f9cfae3-df79-4070-8e4f-0ab480d2aa20#ed6914b0-10aa-4439-8113-23f1b0f3ecf3 UCPhotog 2009-04-11T14:57:22Z http://GOphotoshop.tribe.net/thread/3f9cfae3-df79-4070-8e4f-0ab480d2aa20#759a98c5-2a43-4923-8ac1-e511d4ed93be How can I get Photoshop mac for the student price? I plan of taking a class in Photoshop, but I am not sure I can get it at a student price. Also, my step-daughter loves photography and would have fun using Photoshop on my computer, but I am not sure since she is still in High School. Yicks, $700.00 is a lotta money! What do you think and how can I get it cheaper?
