Sucks. That site is generally money, although they screwed up on another set of S/Ns this week so maybe its loosing its touch. Might want to go on a P2P network and see if you can creat a S/N generator for Adobe products or Adobe Photoshop CS in particular.

If you do graphics for a living, you should invest in your tools, not steal them.

Otherwise, Photoshop SE and PaintbrushPro are usually good enough for the rest of the world and relatively cheap.

True, but I'd have to guess that 90% of their customers are businesses. Hell, even the phone company gouges businesses.

If you want something that works pretty decent for free, go here:

http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/

It's an "obsolete" version of PhotoPlusthat doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Photoshop or the newest PhotoPlus, but it gives you a lot of capabilties for free.

If you can earn a decent living by using that hunk of plastic, then yes.

Idiot.

So that gives you the right to steal it? Nice.

Adobe Photoshop 8.0 CS
http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/mag ... shopCS.zip

Serial: 1045-1207-1122-2567-5785-5871

download working,151MB

JM,I've gone back to the store before when they've given me too much change.
I take nothing,EVER that doesn't belong to me.
but ya know,I'll grab somebody the latest version of Norton if it means it keeps their sysem up and running.
beats a $90 bill at the repair shop.
same way with adobe/macromedia products.
Pshop has been over the $600 range for years.
who in the hell is gonna pay that if they don't even know enough about it to use it?
I've gotten those apps for people years ago before they could afford it free.
well,now that they're successful in careers using that stuff,they can afford to buy it now and do.
but they never would have if it wasn't for a helping hand.
now don't get me wrong,I'm not saying it's legal,moral or even ethical.
however we all have our vices and if jagging the latest copy of Zone Alarm Pro is yours I don't have an issue with it.

If you guys want to discuss the ethics of stealing you should probably go to the Trots forum or something.

Maybe argue with drtard in their political forum.

I disagree ET.

Guys like you, me, DiT and AP have the knowledge and presence of mind to run a virus scan on anything we find for free. Most users will succumb to greed and download. Next thing they know, they are hosting a warez site on their machine.

Similarly, there are constant requests for specific types of files/programs. While finding "free" versions of the commercial applications, I think we can all agree that, at bare minimum, these are potentially virus riddled.

So, my suggestion is to make a list of the GNU/Freeware versions of all these requests. This will give people a "legit" version of the software they want, and keep this from becoming a "warez" magnet.

I'll start

Adobe Photoshop
Gimp
Moonlight 3
Free trial of PaintShop Pro

Norton Anti-Virus
Freeware AVG
I use the commercial version for servers - its great
AntiVir
Seen some good results. You have to manually update.
Avast
VCatch

Firewalls
Zone Alarm
Note - can be buggy.
Sygate
Outpost

Windows XP users can get a decent firewall for free by upgrading to
Service Pack 2.

The better solution for broad-band users is to get a router


Spyware Prevention/removal
Crap Cleaner
Designed to remove temp files and cookies. Not really a spyware
tool, but a good idea none the less.

Free 30 day trial of Spy Subtract
CoolWeb Shredder
AdAware
Spybot
Firefox Browser. Not using IE can be the best prevention.

Operating Systems
If you don't want to buy for a modern operating system, there are still options for you. However, you will have to make sure the applications you want to run will run on these. And the setups range from the simple to the downright confusing.
Debian Linux
Mandrake Linux
Redhat Linux
Slackware Linux
SUSE Linux
FreeBSD

Its a start. I'm sure others will want to add to it.

^^^ good links.

verbal, if you use stuff for a living then I'd highly recommend buying it and then registering it. If you get PShop 7 or later, they can nail your ass with phony reg #'s.

If you are using it for business purposes then you really aren't paying for it as it's a tax write off.

Then, I would suggest getting GIMP. Not only is it free for personal use, but it fits you, as well.

I purchased a cheap ass scanner for $100 and it came with PhotoShop. There's no way in hell I would pay any more for it since I use it for personal use. You might look into something like that...

I hated PhotoShop the first time I used it. NOT user-friendly! Just a few months ago, I created a family picture using clip art and photographs. I would erase the heads off the clip art, and attach a head from a photograph onto it. There are 12 people in the picture and each object had to be placed where I wanted it before I moved on to the next item. It was a major pain in the ass trying to get it put together because once I'd get about 10 or 11 family members on the picture, I'd run out of room and basically have to start all over. I had about 20 versions of the damn thing because I saved it after every addition to keep from starting from scratch.

I didn't have a manual for it and the only way I learned how to use it is by playing around with it.

I prefer Fireworks to Photoshop, myself. The GIMP is pretty cool, but I'll use that when I'm FORCED to, not before...

I guess the logical question is

Why?

Fireworks doesn't do nearly as good for photo editing as photoshop in my less then extensive experiance.
