I simply don't need that powerful software. But I know people who do use and who get it for free through keygen hacks and I think it is wrong. I think a price closer to $100 is more fair than the $300 they ask for now. Personally I have never paid for Photoshop. I simply don’t need that powerful software.

Its a bit to much and that is why so many people copy the app from the internet! I don’t think that they should charge such fees for upgrading the software!

All it really is, is an excuse to charge the consumer several hundred more dollars for basically the same thing. Right now photoshop cs3 is like what, 500 bucks? Meh. I'll stick to my older Photoshop. I’d hold off as much as possible on upgrades. All it really is, is an excuse to charge the consumer several hundred more dollars for basically the same thing.

I would probably not spend any money on it unless it was a significant upgrade. Most of the upgrades to me just don't offer enough usable new functionality, but then again the program is so versatile that there isn't much more you can add that I can use... I'd say $50 at most unless it is just a huge upgrade... of course most people i know don't even pay for photoshop! hmm… I would probably not spend any money on it unless it was a significant upgrade.

As a high school photo instructor my kids snicker at the cost of buying PS, because they don't. Thanks for the link to the Gimp vids, as a photoshop instructor I want to be familiar with other popular photo editing programs. There's also Picasa - which is great just to organize your image files, if you used it for nothing else. Paint.net is one I recently installed - just to see what it offers, seemed OK. Nothing to write home about though. PS continues to be the industry standard for image editing. Perhaps one factor that's not considered when thinking about the cost of adobe software & that's the money adobe spends on development. As for a reasonably priced alternative to PS, buy Elements. It has nearly everything that the full version of PS. What doesn't it have? I'm still trying to figure that out. And for most editing needs, its got everything you'll want.

I could not stomach any other 'photo editor' out there.. so even if Adobe charged $400 or even $500 for an upgrade, I would bite and get it. The vast array of functionality and tools available makes PS such an attractive app.. And with rumors swirling around about having possibly CS4 making use of your video card (thus Photoshop running MUCH faster) and with the rumor of Photoshop being rebuilt from the ground up to be more robust and efficient makes it all the more worthwhile (but of course, these are at this point rumors). But even as is, I don't think there is a mre powerful, fully featured app like PS out there.. Sure there are alternative that offer more 'bang for your buck', but I for one could not do without PS. So yeah, $400 or so seems quite reasonable to me. Cheers, NRG I think Photoshop is priced about right, personally.
