Hello everyone

 

 

I was surprised when I knew the price of this program. I am student in the UK and I do not know if there is any specific shop in London which sells software?

 

 

Please tell me if you know anything about that.

Hi there,

You can pick up an old version of photoshop on ebay.

Or there might be a student version that is free/heavily discounted.

Or you could use a free, open source alternative like the Gimp.

I don't use photoshop myself. What do you need it for? You don't have to use Photoshop.

Like the caped crusader said...

 

There are many free or low cost alternatives to Photoshop - check out http://www.snapfiles.com/

It is expensive because it is bloody good. If you can't afford it then use GIMP or another free alternative.

I haven't use the GIMP before. Is it good program?

 

Thanks...

For the price, extrememly good.

Or for a very good online alternative, you could try out A.viary.

For the price, extrememly good.

Extremely good, regardless of the price. I use only GIMP for all my graphics work. It does everything I want it to (except design the layout for me )

Is it OK for web graphics?

Yes, any image editor that can save .jpg, .gif and .png files will be fine

lmao obviously other than paint. xD

The sooner you get Photoshop the better. Student discounts are your friend.

Is there any point in getting Photoshop Elements for Web Design?

Photoshop isn't the be all and end all. At the end of the day, it's a very expensive piece of software with *huge* capabilities. If you're only going to use a small portion of that functionality, you're probably best saving your money and going for something more realistic.

 

GIMP is free and perfectly fine for what it sounds like you'll be doing.

 

Don't feel that you need to use Photoshop "because everyone else is". Having a piece of expensive software isn't going to automatically make you a great designer.

My personal thought would be to save up your money and purchase Photoshop.

I agree with everyone here.

 

I use Photoshop. I've noticed that some web design jobs require you to use photoshop. (I noticed that when I saw a web design job at Blizzard) (and no I don't play WoW, it was just out of interest)
