I see a lot of free downloads for photoshop on the net,has anybody tried these are they the real photoshop or are they all plug ins?

You can download a trial version of Photoshop at download.com at http://www.download.com/Adobe-Photoshop/3000-2192_4-10401295.html?tag=lst-0-3

Good luck, it is hard to use it if you aren't into photoshop (like me) :D

Thanks will check it out, I'm sure Sophia will help me. Olly where are you right now in Prague?

I don't believe you could download Photoshop,but only the trial version,after the end of the trial you have to pay.
I have never downloaded a trial version,because i have a dial up and it would be needed 3 days to download a 329mb file.
Photoshop is very good and of course much more better than picasa.Think that the limitations of 30-day trial,that they give you,is not enough for everyone to learn photoshop,so if you are interesting in post process,better to buy it than to download a trial version.
With your connection,how fast you could downloaded a 329mb file?

Colleen I downloaded a trail version, but the trial version doesn't give you access to the help files, so I couldn't figure out how to use it. :( I think you would have problems with it. LOL If you have lots of time to play with it, by all means try it out. :) I would pick 30 days when you are not going to be busy.

You can download anything off the internet :p Just have to get the right download programme.

Doing it will be dodgy though :rolleyes: The full version is a big file and it will take ages with slow internet.

Another option would be Photoshop Elements. It has a lot of the same features(not all) of Photoshop which will allow you to do a lot of things with your photos but only costs about $100, which is a lot cheaper than the full version of Photoshop.

Thanks guys for all the info. I think my sons girlfriend has it if not I think I may look into buying it.
