 If this is a serious question....
It's Paint Shop Pro... you can get an eval version at www.jasc.com

If you choose to buy it tho, be prepped to shell out a bit... Though there's always ways around it...  

What? I didn't say anything I shouldn't

I thought it was like $80-100 bucks.  Thats NOTHING for a piece of imaging software.  Photoshop retail is over $1000 typically and academically priced versions are between $350-$450 (all in Cdn dollars ).

I'm talking about grammar as well.

ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS?!?! Gawd, I thought it was "only" $650-$800. Someone tell me why ANY imaging software would be worth a thousand bucks.

$1000 Canadian dude. That's like $450 US.

[Woolie Wool]

That's still a huge amount of money for software.

[Knight Templar]

Thus, the evil online black market.

Mmmm, that's good piracy

No no no...Canadian dollar is back to 72 cents US the last I checked.  You're dollar is falling and ours is going back up...why, because our economy...despite the Mad Cow scare (one cow had it), SARS, West Nile Virus, and so on...is still doing ok

Thats probably about $700-800 US (based on the price point that stores will sell down there).

[Knight Templar]

meh. I still hang on to the good ol' days. Like last summer, when it was $.48 canadian to a $1 US.

[color=66ff00]I remember my friend once handed me a CDR with Maya on it. I stared at him for a minute after he told me what was on the disk and then asked him did he know how much that one CDR was worth...

I'm leaning toward Photoshop: Elements because I saw in one review that it is basically PS without some of the high $$$ features that only mainstream pros use with any frequency.  It's available at my local Wal-Mart for like $60-70 usd.

Buy used. Buy old. There's nothing on Photoshop 7 that you need unless you're a pro. 5.5 might be the earliest at which you get the really cool features, but it's pretty damn good even before then. And the price drops dramatically with old software.

Photoshop is Industry standard stuff you have to understand, which means professional graphics designers use it. Hence, Adopbe can charge pretty much whatever they want, people will still pay it (These designers are there target audience after all). Plus if they buy it, come tax time it can be written off as a work related purchase.

It's akin to a farmer buying a half million dollar tractor, or a brickie spending a couple of hundred dollars on a new cement mixer.

http://www.ulead.com/pi/runme.htm <---Ulead PhotoImpact. It's dirt cheap for imaging software and has most of the features of Photoshop. Okay, so it can't put differently-colored borders around each letter of your text or do layers, but it can do about everything else--even lens flares, if you like torturing yourself and everyone who looks at your images (I hate lens flares).

PSP 7 is my Image editor of choice, it's cheaper, easier to learn, runs all of PS's plugins and has 90% of its features. I was just explaining why it's so expensive, not supporting the proggy
