yes, I would have had to return it as unusable to the seller if adobe
didnt offer free upgrade to ps CS2
or buy PS CS3 instead.

Ok, good reasons to get it again, but it did prove to be dicey after
all, did it not? You couldn't activate it so you can't use it.

the reason I bought PS CS (1) was I was very familair with it, I had been
using it for years
and it met all my needs so it wasnt dicey.

A moot point now I suppose, but rather than buying a dicey old copy of
CS off eBay you could have bought a brand-new copy of PS Elements 13
for not much more than $70 (assuming shopping around / waiting for a
sale). PS CS is quite ancient (eleven years) and PSE 13 would likely
be quite a bit more powerful and useful. (Although I see that CS did
support 16 bits in some operations.)

I get by fine ( quite nicely actually) with older versions of PS, so
when
my hard drive crashed without backup recently
I purchased a sealed copy of photoshop CS off ebay for $70. It
registered
and runs fine on win8 but I had trouble activating the
software past its 30 day trail period. To make a long story short, I
found
out the adobe is giving away photoshop CS2
at there website with a registration number and it needs no activation.
yippie! Why buy PS when you can get a good working
version from 2005 free forever? JCO

Quoting Ed Keeney <[email protected]>:
I currently use and older version of Photoshop Elements (v5) to
post-process my images. It works and I've been happy with it.
I currently don't use the Organizer that is paired with the
application. My organization is all in my head (I separate images by
month/year). I don't have any tagging, so if I wanted to find an
image of my father-in-law, I would need to know which image I want and
then approximate the year and date.
I was thinking about moving to the Adobe Cloud offering for
photographers, $10/month and I get PS and Lightroom.
Should I just continue to use the standalone PSE product and get
myself into its Organizer product.
Since I don't upgrade too often (version 13 is the latest PSE), I'm
not sure its worth the $120/year for the full PS and Lightroom over
the $79 one time cost for PSE or a switch to the standalone Lightroom.
Thoughts?
I opted for the Adobe Cloud for photographers subscription and I'm quite
happy with it although I rarely use the Lightroom component. I was
never
going to be able to justify buying CS6 outright but the Cloud model is a
affordable way to get the latest version of Photoshop.
Previously I'd been using a hand-me-down version of CS3 and, if I'm
honest, there's not a lot more that CC offers that I can't do in CS3.
So, if
Adobe increases the monthly subscription excessively I'd undoubtedly
just go
back to the earlier version even if that would involve an extra step in
post
processing to convert raw images to a CS3 readable format.
As for organisation, I don't use Bridge CC either. I've been using
Studioline Photo Classic for years for image organisation and I'm more
than
happy with it.
