Photoshop FREE!

Some are saying it wont work on newer systems. This is rubbish, it runs on Win 7 and on Win 8 with no problems, although I understand some MAC users can't run it

Link still works for me and I am running Photoshop CS2 right now on Win7 64 bit with no issues so far!

That is a direct link to their main server.  The download no longer works through other links.

The software runs fine on both WIN7 and WIN 8, I have tested both. Whatever, if you want this stuff then get it while you can.

You do not need to register and you do not need an ADOBE ID.

Yes, all the downloads there work, including the ACROBAT PRO  and the PREMIERE PRO.

I don't use any ADOBE software much as I run my machines on Linux, but the software is excellent. Even though the versions are not the newest they will be more than sufficient for most home users.

Link is still working fine;

so maybe they have decided to run with it as PR.

Thanks for the link Mike.  Downloaded CS which seems to be running fine on my Windows 7 laptop.

My pleasure.  It has run on every machine we have tried up to now. Probably far more than sufficient for the majority of home users who want to use this type of software. The main difficulty, as with all software of this type,  is learning how to use it.

[River Chatter]

Agreed!  I haven't used it much since the mid nineties, but even then just used it for basic graphics desktop publishing projects and photo editing.  Loads to learn.  I'm glad to have it available to me again.

A big thanks from me too Mike. re the "how to use it" any advice on good places to get a basic idea?

Downloading as much as I can, but it took two hours to get Photoshop! (which is running nicely).
Thanks for the heads-up Mike.
Though it will be years before I work out how to use it!
