you can try limewire but you need to
have like a virus sweeper or something like
that to protect your computer. but
its pretty complicated. &i just settled with 7
cause i got it from a friend i borrowed his cd. haha

I don't think we're suppose to talk about this on this forum!

My advice is get it from a friend or buy it yourself, it's way safer.

^buying it is WAAAY to expensive. lmfao.
but yeah, it is safer. haha

yaahhh...too expensive
i understand dhat but i need it badly
ima wait for some advice but thanks

Warez is not allowed here, but I can give you some freeware links.

http://www.gimp.net
http://www.getpaint.net/
http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/ (older versions are free, or at least used to be)
http://photofiltre.free.fr/frames_en.htm
http://www.vicman.net/vcwphoto/index.htm

And a web based version: http://www.splashup.com

its like $600 dollars when i tried to buy it
thank god for torrent
but be careful if you decide to do so!

^that torrent thing is pretty confusing though.
lmfao. my friend has been explaining it to me.
but im like wtf?

I'm surprised this hasn't been closed yet.

^why? because we arent allowed to discuss this topic?

We aren't allowed to talk about obtaining it illegally or something like that.

Torrenting 101. I am thisclose to getting this post edited but w/e:

1) Download a BitTorrent client like uTorrent.
2) Download your desired torrent file (in this case, Photoshop. You can search for torrents at various places that I'm probably not allowed to mention? Ask around yourself).
3) Open the torrent file you downloaded in #2 in the BitTorrent client from #1. It should start downloading right away.

Also, we're not allowed to talk about getting Photoshop for free because this is a design-oriented forum, and it's only in our best interest to support the best photo editing software out there.

On the other hand, it's absurd to make an amateur Photoshopper to spend like $600 on one program.

ohh, i see. so we cant talk about limewire.
cause i have a bunch of questions about that. lmfao

&also gigi, can you get a virus from doing that?
or it just depends what you download in #2 right??

It was just a choice, not like I told her to buy it lol.

Or just use Gimp, it's not as awesome as PS but it's still very good.

im still confused
but ill check to see

You're not supposed to ask these kinds of questions here, but in addition to the freeware links XTC provided, you can try http://www.splashup.com. Everyone, please cease the discussion of illegal obtaining methods. Thanks.

ok
then close dha forum
thanks for dha help everyone

IFOUNDTHATSITE,DAMNIT!
kiding.
i use it. constantly. especially for screenshots when i don't wanna use photoshop.
</ramble unrelated to topic>

You're pretty safe if you download something with a lot of seeds, or with good comments and lots of thank you's. I've never downloaded a virus from a torrent, ever.

Maybe you pointed CB members to it, but I found out about it through my friend when she Facebooked me. :p
