Hey everyone. Recently, my computer crashed and all my programs were lost. I really wanted to start my website back up but it became too much because I wanted the latest version of photoshop. I had photoshop 6 or something. I also had dreamweaver but I would like to have the later versions of that too.

Well I could just re-download the old versions of both on this comp but I would LOVE to have the later versions of either program. It costs so much money and that, I don't have at the moment. So does anyone have a later version of photoshop or the dreamweaver series that I could download? I tried the trial copies but it was such a tease. I would love it so much if anyone could help me. OH! By the way, I have both a mac and pc. I would prefer a pc version but I wouldn't mind a mac version.

As for other types of programs, I wouldn't mind trying anything new! I heard a lot of good stuff about paint shop pro. I never used that before. Any program would be sufficient because at the moment, I have nothing. :( But anyways, that's about it.


Thanks!!

Photoshop wasn't created to be a free program, and Createblog doesn't support piracy. I'm sure you could find it if you looked hard enough. But GIMP is a free image program.

the only way you're legally getting anything is by free, then. PSP and PS are not free programs. but as stated above, GIMP is free.
and why need dreamweaver when you can just be a Notebook user? :]

definetely go gimp!

because its free! does a lot of the same things as photoshop. converting photoshop tutorials to gimp completely sucks though cause everything has a different name. well not everything but lots of things. if you know photoshop already though you get a little frustrated at first but it turns out fine in the end.. same thing happened with me, my comp with adobe crashed. its tragic, been there, done that. i feel for ya lol

Hey now, I like dreamweaver. XD

Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of options for freeware in this case. Have you tried using Gimp before?

I know you prefer PC, but since I'm a mac user and you said you at least own a mac, I wanted to mention that the mac is great for photo editing and there's a lot of really great software out there.

First of all, I can start with GIMPshop - it's a GIMP hack that basically puts the photoshop interface on top of it. You can try it out on both platforms:

Just to give you more options, there is also Seashore for the mac - it may not be as full-featured as you would like, but it's worth trying:

And if you want to give something a try that costs a little bit of money, just do a search on google for mac image editors. A lot of people really like the Pixel editor - it's about $60, but compare that to $200+.
