A couple of good ones there, Moses... :-0
Now, here's one I heard about that you'd be mad to pass up. I nearly did, because I figured it
was too good to be true, and that the gent concerned was 'geeing me up'. Well, I went to the
site for a look-see, and Lo and behold, it
was true.
So, I pounced!
Adobe CS2 Available for Free, and it's LEGAL!!!!
Apparently, so the story goes, their registration/update server died, and rather than fix it, they
simply shut it down and discontinued all support. But, incredibly, the software itself is still on
their website, and is available for FREE, LEGAL DOWNLOAD by anyone who wants it. The whole
CS2 suite is available for those who wish, or individual components like Photo-Shop can be d/l'ed
separately.
From the Adobe website: -[color=#ff6600]Adobe has disabled the activation server for CS2 products,
including Acrobat 7, because of a technical issue. These products were released more than seven
years ago, do not run on many modern operating systems, and are no longer supported. Adobe
strongly advises against running unsupported and outdated software. The serial numbers below
should only be used by customers who legitimately purchased CS2 or Acrobat 7 and need
to maintain their current use of these products.[/color=#ff6600]
It runs just fine on Windows 8 64-bit, without needing Compatibility Mode, so you Win 7 users
shouldn't have a problem
I'd actually been using an older version (Photo-Shop 6) since 2001, but only for the odd bit of
photo-editing, but had never tried to actually create anything with it. But since getting this, I've
been teaching myself how to create my own 'sigs', Farce-book cover photos etc. it really is fun
and I've learned a hell of a lot in the few weeks I've had it.
Here's the link: -
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.htmlAnd here's a screen-shot of my PS, with some of my work loaded. It's funny now, but three weeks
ago, I couldn't have done these, or even known where to start.... Yes, there's a sig for OzPolitics
there, but you have to have a post-count of 10,000 to be allowed to use one. Most forums it's 100
or less.
Seriously, though, you'd have to be mad to pass up such a great score. 110% recommend!!
