We all use Photoshop to create those "breathe taking" layouts everyone sees on Xanga. One day, I was planning on purchasing Adobe Photoshop CS thinking the price wouldn't pass $200. Well, when I visited the Adobe website, the price read $650 +!!! That was WAY beyond my budget. Sadly, I didn't purchased it so I got JASC PSP for only $200. How many of you guys actullay went and purchased the ACTUAL Adobe Photoshop program? Not the "bootleg" version, I mean the real $650+ version. Is it too expensive? Or does the price reflects the quality and features of the program?

$600 for it is actually not as expensive as you think. Most graphic design programs are way into the 1,000s and some even more (Maxon Cinema 4D - $700, and the studio bundle being $2995). Software isnt cheap to make and therefore not cheap to buy. You pay for what you get and you get one of the premier design programs there are. Although you are paying a little more the name thats how business is done. The name means everything and that raises the price. I personally get my copies for free because my grandpa is a graphic designer and he gets graphic programs from his firm all the time, but when he was just starting up he had to buy everything. This being the early age of computer before all the warez bull.
