# But surely more people
wouldn't acquire it if they didn't charge £500 for it?

# except me
because then I would be a hypocritic cnut to expect anyone to pay for the programs I help make. And certainly couldn't expect anyone like Nuts or Zoo to pay me for a picture I'd made using the software

# If I used it professionally I'd pay for it. But not for fucking about animating rainbow dinosaurs with.

# I tried using it once.
I found it far too confusing. paint.net does everything I need for nowt.

# Ps isn't that confusing. GIMP is worse I think.

# can't you do that with a free package?
perhaps if the people who didn't need to use Photoshop didn't pirate it then the price would come down for those of us who do. :(

# I have GIMP.
But that's terrible for animation in my experience.

# How so?
Surely you'd still have the same number of legitimate users.

# oh yeah :D
I guess its just my own jealousy of people who haven't paid for it using a newer version than I can afford!

# just an idea Toasty
get yourself a copy, make some pics - sell them and once you have made enough money, buy a licence.

:D

# I have a licensed copy of CS2
but I don't sell enough pics to afford the upgrade

# oh, now I've got to start it up
and I was happy working in Paint Shop Pro!

*edit - So it does, I guess because I never use CMYK its always been greyed out and my eyes have ignored it :D

# In my opinion, CS2 is the best one anyway.
But maybe that's just because I'm used to it.
I used CS3 for a while but didn't like it and I liked CS4 even less.
