yepeee…at last proud owner(going to be) of photoshop CS4
Posted by Prashant - 16/12/09 at 01:12:10 pmPhotoshop CS4 is downright one of the best software for image editing and in some days I will be a proud owner of a licensed copy of not just the Photoshop CS4 but the entire web premium suite and that too at a throw away 
All this thanks to a fellow trekker who works in Adobe. They get employee discounts and was kind enough to purchase one license for me. Like the saying “There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch” goes this throwaway price comes with a caveat and that is I cannot use any of the web premium suite products for commercial use. But then its not that much of a handicap because I don’t think I have the necessary skills to make serious money with photography and Photoshop. So it will always be for personal use.
So the next obvious question is why the hell would I want to pay a non zero price when you have Gimp? Make no mistake about it Gimp is one hell of a image editor and if that is not good enough its FREE. Well I myself dont have convincing answer for that, but I guess its because;
- Its GNU
- Its slow compared to photoshop
- I can afford photoshop (the discounted one)
I don’t know how the upgrades system would work for the personal license. Next version sounds really interesting.
