Photoshop died. It said there was some sort of error that was unrecoverable. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, didn't work. So I had a back up version of CS, and installed it. It was working fine until today when it did the same thing. So now I can't make graphics. I guess I can go back to using PSP, it's better than nothing, but gah.. I want Photoshop :(.
Ugh...that really has to stink! I'm sorry it happened...
I'm still figuring out how to make graphics, lol...I can't even import a brush right :(
That stinks. :o Can't you complain to the company and some how get it back, didn't you have to buy it?
Nope.. *cough*downloaded..*cough* :oQuote:

Maybe you could just go swipe one off of Walmart's shelves next time instead of downloading it, and maybe it would work better for you. :mad: Stealing is stealing :rolleyes:
I agree. I would never do that.Quote:

Oh, so somebody else's wrong makes it right for you??? Wow!!! So if I murder someone, then you can also murder someone and it would be ok. Because after all *I* did it first. That way of thinking is just so wrong. What happened to personal responsibility??
Yes, downloading software is just as illegal as downloading music without paying for it. I download music from ITunes, I get their free downloads, and sometimes pay 99 cents for a song I really want. THAT is legal. I wouldn't download music from the "filesharing" services as, not only is it illegal, it is also a good way to get lots of viruses (if you're on a PC - I use a Mac).
"I don't see it for sale around here" is no excuse for someone who uses the Internet. Amazon.com, adobe.com, the aforementioned eBay - there are many places online where you could order Photoshop, or Photoshop Elements.
Yes, Photoshop is expensive. It is a powerful, professional-level application. Photoshop Elements is a very limited version, which is why it costs less.
That wasn't what I was saying. But I know other people who download it, so I did, too. It's a mistake, and it's my fault, and I'm getting what I deserved for it.Quote:

Someone else came along and said "oh, what a great photo!" and they simply clicked "copy" and pasted it to their own computer. Then they entered it into a contest and won thousand bucks. Thats YOUR photo. They got it FREE from the internet and justified stealing YOUR work by saying it didn't matter because it was easily obtained. Wouldn't you feel they stole your property? Wouldn't you feel they had no right and should have paid for the image, especially since they were taking it for the purpose of entering a contest or using it to show others as their won work? You took Photoshop not to just enjoy photo editing in your own privacy, but to make images that you now share with the world.
Why is Photoshop $1,000? to offset the cost of people who steal their program. The people who pay for it have the pay the price for those that steal it. Adobe is really starting to crack down on people who put the software up for downloading purposes and those that download it. I have Photoshop -- legally obtained from a client who bought it for his company and he gave me a copy since I am a designer and would do an occasional job for him. I never use it because I no longer do work for him... in fact a few weeks ago I contemplated taking it off my computer to free up some memory. Ironic, huh?
Why I needed it was because PSP didn't really fit my expectations, and Photoshop did. So I downloaded it. I legally own PSP though, got it for a gift for good grades. But I've learned my lesson, and I'm saving up my money to get Photoshop Elements.Quote:
