Crunchdeals: Photoshop CS 3 for ~$300, no shadiness necessary

by Devin Coldewey on February 6, 2008

If you feel like getting a legal copy of Photoshop CS3, it’ll run you North of $650 normally. But those miserly geniuses over at Photography Bay have figured that you can get it for half that if you’re careful. It seems you can upgrade Photoshop Elements to CS3 for $300 directly from Adobe, and if you don’t have Elements, you can get it for $37 at Amazon. Total cost: $337 plus shipping, call it $350, a full three bills under retail for CS3. Hell of a deal.

Or you could just get it from an un-named Bittorrent source that rhymes with Shmirate Pay.

  I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about
  
  Really though… I use Paint.net for all my stuff, it’s free and probably enough for 90% of the people out there. I used it for that beautiful, beautiful graphic up there, for example.
  you can get it here, it’s a great program: http://www.getpaint.net/

    Thank you for that decipher, I was guessing that people couldn’t read text without a space but I wasn’t sure.
