I use Photoshop 7 right now, and Adobe 6 (full)
I am looking to "get with the times" and upgrade to newer versions.
I am also looking for a vector based program, I have Corel Draw / PhotoPaint 8 Which works well, but i see many new features in the CorelCX3 version.
The prices are a bit high for these, around $600 for photoshop, and $500 for Corel CX3
I put in my numbers for Corel and Adobe for the upgrade, but they aren't "new enough" to qualify.
My question is:
Do you guys that know everything about anything (and be right) have input on going to a middle version of the software?
Like corel 10, or whatever is between Photo 7 and CS
I have been told those are sold cheaply (the Suites are what i am looking for), and I don't know where to look for them and not get ripped off.
I think the software I have doesn't work because I bought it "used", so it was registered to somebody else.
I would prefer legal channels, I guess they are taking away your computers and houses if you have a invalid copy.
Advice/Input/Alterntives?
