Hello

I am planning on purchasing Adobe Photoshop CS4 Standard.

I was searching for discounts and i found this site

Just found this site
https://www.softwaremedia.com/product/5707.html

the price is around $320 for Full Version.

Is this a legit site to purchase from ?

Are there any trustworthy sites selling software at discounted rates?

bdg, I wouldn't trust ebay for just about anything. I've heard lots of horror stories from buyers. I know someone who bought the CS1 on ebay back in 2004 and although it appeared to be legit when he tried to register it - he found out he couldn't because it was a version that had limited tools and no Adobe service. With these kinds of versions, if anything is wrong with it or if you don't understand something ADOBE will not help.
It was advertised on ebay as a "full pro version" and my friend couldn't get his money back (I don't remember why)

If you are a college student in Calif. you can buy the CS4 for a fraction of the cost. I got the CS4 premium version (there's other versions too) for $310 last January. It has multiple programs - Photoshop Extended, Acrobat Pro, Flash, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, InDesign, Illustrator, etc. all are full versions of the software.

just checked it - the price is the same - here's the link: http://www.journeyed.com/dept/Brands/Adobe/284060

You have to prove you're a student!


If you don't live in Calif. I'll bet there are other states who sell to their students at discounted rates. If you're not a student try googling "Adobe cs4 coupons".

I did and found this site: http://www.digitaleditor.com/adobe, I saw a link that lets you try the whole CS4 for a 30 trial period.


Ibn: I see you already purchased one on ebay. Make sure you can return it if you don't like it. I hope it works out for you.

Thanks.

I did knew the risk involved but i needed a full version rather than a student version.

Anyhow, im waiting for my parcel to arrive within a few days.

I did check out the feedback on the seller, he was listed as the Top Seller on ebay with 99% positive feedback. I even contacted a few of those buyers who had purchased the same version as mine.

And they verified that the product was good and they satisfied with the company.

If you buy a wacom tablet, you get 50% off Photoshop.

That's like getting a free tablet and some cash back.

too bad I didn't know this. I bought Photoshop directly from Adobe at full price.

If it's any cheaper (other than the wacom offer) then it's a pirated copy.

If you are a student you qualify for a big, big student discount.

That sounds good. BTW the site where I got mine is not an academic version - it's a student site but it was a full design premium edition of CS4. There are several versions now - but Adobe doesn't make the academic versions anymore. They are now broken up into the type of products you need for what your work is. Standard is for print, Studio is for picture production, Premium is for web, print & animation. The Master edition has it all but for some reason that escapes me, I didn't like it. I chose the premium because it had the PS Extended too.

Nice.!

Was going to get a Wacom this xmas but I might just wait until the summer so that I can get both CS5 and the wacom tablet. I'm on CS3 right now.


I've bought CS1 from ebay at a bargain price. The seller had great feedback so I was confident.

Those are the prices Adobe says you will pay if you purchase thru one of their authorized education resellers. (I got my CS4 design premium for $310 - even less than the price quoted there!)

It said nothing about the programs being "academic versions".


Maybe I should've been more detailed in my answer but I assumed IBN would know what I was referring to - which were the "academic versions" that Adobe used to sell to schools. Those programs had restricted usage and less features than the full commercial versions which are now sold to all education resellers.


Correct me if I'm blind but did you see anything from the link you provided that said the programs were "Academic Versions"? cause I didn't.

Now I would have expected the bold words to give it away
www.adobe.com/education/purchasing/education_pricing.html

Or this piece of text from the page in question
Quote:

Educators, students, and educational institutions can purchase Adobe products at discounted prices by ordering through the Adobe Education Store or an Adobe Authorized Education Reseller. Institutions may want to take advantage of Adobe volume licensing, including highly affordable site licenses for K–12.

Whats with all the fighting.

Anway, I had purchased it from the ebay seller and it was in good condition arrived in a box. The DVD was inside a blue DVD casing along with Photoshop Ext dvd and Total Training CS4 Suite DVD.

I will take a snapshot of the DVD box and post it here.

I installed it and the key worked just fine. I even updated the photoshop from 11.0 to 11.0.1 without any problems.

Everything seems to be normal

im quite happy with the purchase.

P.S. I am not a student

Not fighting It's a discussion

Great you got a fully licensed legit version then.

Now all we need to is convince the file stealing sharing community that buying genuine is much better, as you get the support and bug fixes.
