I have resisted installing hooky software on it, therefore I have yet to choose which image manipulating software to buy.
Elements is not bad, but I get the feeling I might splash out and buy Photoshop. I have used it for so many years now, everything else feels a little alien.
At least I qualify for the educational price, which is only a fraction of the full commercial price.

to be in perfect working order.
Besides, people shouldn't feel so guilty about cracked software. For instance, apple released their latest version of Logic without a dongle... which previously had never been cracked, now you only need a serial and it was understandably cracked the day after release!
Why?
IMHO its because they recognise that they will lose a small percentage of sales in the short run, but gain loads more in the long run... ala flash, reason, PHOTOSHOP, etc.
In video game business model terms this is called "free to play", where they release the actual product for free with the knowledge that a small percentage, of a now large user base, will buy it and/or any peripherals.
Anyway, I'm pissed... you may ignore everything i said with my blessings.

but this laptop will be used professionally, making me more concerned about running anything dodgy.
Not that I use photoshop for anything professional, but I would rather everything on this machine was squeaky clean just in case.
