I need it for college but I don't feel it's right if I just go ahead and download it. Is there any sites that sell it cheap? The cheapest I found was for 300 quid and that was with student discount -_-
Honestly just warez it if its too much money for something you aint going to make money off, ive been using photoshop & illustrator since before they were made by adobe the last 10 years or so they've become a horrid company, theres been 2 versions we bought and never used because now days adobe wont patch a bug but instead fix it in the next versionwhich ofc you have to pay for the pleasure of)
Infact we dont always update to the new versions unless i find out from others it works fine cos we just cant trust they will fix it.
Problem is that they are the industrial standard but i wish someone would come along and knock them off like they did to quark xpress(who took years to release a OS X version of their £1000+ P.O.S.)

I doubt they care if you pay for it or not, it's not like they get their money from the students needing it for colleges, it comes from selling to all the companies >:
Adobe has special pricing for students. Design Standard includes Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign & Acrobat for 300$. The only problem is you can use them only for educational purposes.
I have tried many alternative programs, and it's amazing just how bad everything out there is.
Anyone who recommends the gimp is a chump. It's shit. It COULD be good, but in it's current form it's just a huge unusable mess. You can't even try work on it because it uses so many different languages and packages that it's not possible.
Someone (Canonical maybe) needs to take control over the development and seriously streamline it.
I picked up a bundle with photoshop, illustrator, flash, indesign and what have you for just under £300 with a student discount- so that much for just photoshop seems a tad steep!
That's silly. You won't be using it for commercial purposes, right? If the software can help you with your education, you can always pay the company back later, when the education lands you a solid job. Trust me, that bloated monster of a company won't mind. :p
