Cheapest legal place to buy Photoshop CS5 in UK

Hi all,
I want to buy Photoshop CS5, and I am in the UK.
Does anyone know what the cheapest legal shop or on line store is in the UK.
Amazon UK is £ 546-00 which is a lot cheaper than via the Adobe site which is £ 657-00!
All I want is a serial number as I have the trial on my PC
Thanks for any info
Ben

Since prices can change during the year even with the same re-seller, you would have to be very lucky to find someone who just researched your question. I suspect that you would be hard pressed to find a cheaper legal offering than the one by Amazon UK. However you might want to check authorized re-sellers you find on the Adobe site http://adobedealreg.force.com/PartnerSearch?lang=uk

How do I determine if my file system is case-sensitive before I buy Photoshop CS5?

How do I determine if my file system is case-sensitive before I buy Photoshop CS5? I currently have Mac OSX 10.5.8 with an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and 4GB of Memory.. Adobe says the following requirements are needed..
2GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with qualified hardware-accelerated OpenGL graphics card, 16-bit color, and 256MB of VRAM
Some GPU-accelerated features require graphics support for Shader Model 3.0 and OpenGL 2.0
I don't know if I have a "hardware-accelerated OpenGL graphics card" or "256MB or VRAM".. I've never heard of "VRAM" before and the last bullet points is just as confusing. The last thing I want to do is buy this program and discover my Mac Book is just a tad bit to old for it, I've already done that once with a video game.

Disk Utility highlighting the drive or partition & clicking the blue Info icon may report it, but since I don't have Case Sensitive I can't tell for sure.
A simple test would be to save a small txt doc as...
test
Then save to the place same as...
TEST
If both show on the Disk, then it is, if it asks to replace test with TEST then it isn't.

Buying Photoshop CS5 for mac and being able to use it?

I'm a Photography student and I need to get Photoshop, though I can only just about afford around £300. I don't want to rent it through Creative Cloud because not only will it cost me far too much after the amount of time I need it for is up, but I will no longer have it when my course is finished, which seems a shame since I'll not be able to use my education there after. Anyway, I've been looking into buying CS5 for mac as a Student/Teacher version, which is in my price range and has all of the ideal tools I need and then some.
My main worry is, I don't know how it works. Will Adobe still accept the license number for an old version, or will they turn it down in the hope that I'll turn to take on their Creative Cloud malarkey? I've found a seemingly good deal on Amazon, though the occasional review describes that Adobe aren't accepting their serial numbers. Saying that, the majority of reviews say that it installs fine with little hassle, so I'm not too sure on how it would treat me. I'm in England, incase that would affect anything. Any clues anyone?

You can do almost anything in Photoshop Elements that you can do in Photoshop. There are many third party plugins, some free, that will add functionality both to Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. I use both Photoshop CS5.5 and Photoshop Elements 5, 9, and 11 on various computers. Expert Mode in Photoshop Elements is most like Photoshop.
Why don't you download the trial of Photoshop Elements 13 and decide for yourself:

Cheapest/best place to buy new DC In Board?

Does anyone have a recommendation of a good, reliable, low-cost, FAST place to buy a DC in board? I found one on powerbooktech.com for only $22 but have read quite a few reviews online that say they are less than reliable and slow to ship. I need this part, like, yesterday.

No, Apple doesn't sell any parts to end users that it doesn't classify as "user-replaceable" parts. In addition to the vendors mentioned by BGreg, try these others:

If I buy Photoshop (Cs5), is Bridge included in it? And what about Lightroom?

I'm not new to using Photoshop, Bridge or Lightroom (version CS3) however the original installation of these programs when I had them was not done by me (my pc crashed) so I am not sure which products have to be bought on the site. i.e do i have to buy each program separately? and are there specific versions for Mac?

Yes, there are separate versions and licenses for Macintosh and for Windows of Photoshop. Lightroom includes versions and licenses for both Macintosh and for Windows.
Yes, Photoshop includes Bridge. As a matter of fact, Bridge began as nothing more than Photoshop's image browser.
Lightroom is a completely separate application. It's totally optional and, if you decide you want it, you do have to buy it separately.

FAQ: If I buy Photoshop CS5 now, will I get a free upgrade when Photoshop CS6 comes out?

The following document explains:
Upgrade policy after new product announcement
Because Adobe hasn't officially announced official CS6 pricing and availability dates yet, your best bet is to wait until there is an official announcement on pricing and availability.

The upgrade policy for CS6 was posted yesterday:
Complimentary upgrades for CS6 products
If you purchased Creative Suite 5.5 or a Creative Suite 5.5 component on or after March 26, 2012, you qualify to receive a complimentary upgrade to the equivalent Creative Suite 6 product at no additional cost when it becomes available.
See link above for for comprehensive Adobe upgrade info or the link below for CS6 specific details.

Photoshop CS5 Screen Resolution

<START OF RANT>
Having recently decided to upgrade all my design software, I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I was (and still am) to find that after spending £231.12 GBP on buying Photoshop CS5 (upgrade from CS2) I'm unable to "Save As" and access some other features on my Acer Ferrari One due to the minimum screen resolution requirement. And before you start preaching that I should have checked, blah, blah, blah, and that it's my own fault then I only have 2 words for you: F*** O**!!! Why am I reacting like this? Simples, both Photoshop CS2 and Dreamweaver CS5 (for a mere £219.95 GBP) work fine on the very same netbook without any problems!!!
Having spent hours upon hours browsing the tinternet (a.k.a. world wide web) and finding countless of people in the same boat as me making futile attempts to get Photoshop CS5 to work on a smaller screen resolution (the most common being 1024x600), it seems that short of changing the screen it will not work properly.
Allow me therefore to put the following questions to the developers/coders of Photoshop CS5:
1. Why do Photoshop CS2 and Dreamweaver CS5 work on the same netbook without fail yet Photoshop CS5 won't (unable to "Save As", can't see full screen of the "Save for Web" screen, etc.)?! WHY??? And please don't start with the lame excuse that they are different programs for different purposes because at the end of the day it's the same company. You don't buy a Mercedes C-Class and a Mercedes S-Class to find that the steering works on 1 but not the other, do you?!
2. Are your heads so far up your place where the sun don't shine that you have forgotten about the fact that people FIRST pick a PC/Mac/Laptop/Notebook/Netbook and ONLY THEN PICK SOFTWARE?
3. Do you want people to keep buying your software?
If the answer to question 3 (above) is YES, then PULL YOUR FINGERS OUT, get your act together and do something about these issues, pronto. Else, rest assured you will lose custom to the competition (e.g Corel) - even loyalists like myself (who started & stuck with Photoshop since 1997 - that's 14 YEARS OF LOYALTY should one be incapable of doing the math). In this day & age any company would be wise not to make mistakes which could cost it market share - Adobe is making that mistake with Photoshop right now!!!
</END OF RANT!!!>

<Start of Reply>
Why are trying to get Photoshop work on a display that is smaller then the programs was designed for. Adobe publishes screen requirements. Next you'll want it to run on a iPod Nano so you can have it on hand all the time.
<Just keep on RANTING if it make you feel GOOD>
CS2 Works the Problem is all YOU
So same to you and you foul mouth.
Why blame Adobe Why not your net book maker fot not allowing you to set a resolution more then the display has. I have worked on machines the could the just scroll the display over the larger image that way you can see the whole image. CS5 would work on a machine like that. Of course I want it always at hand!!! Do you even live in this world?! Have you noticed for example that phones have better cameras than the best camera available en masse 5 years ago let alone longer e.g. 10 years ago? Note how small it is!!!
Of course I want to edit my pictures using the program of my choice and 14 years ago I did make that choice choosing PS, hence the decision to purchase the Acer Ferrari One - CS2 works like a charm.
As to the point that I'm problematic, please read my post carefully before making statements that make you come across as foolish.

1. Serious ps users make sure their hardware meets their program's system requirements.
2. If you decide to buy you bigger Mercedes and it won't fit into your garage anymore, I'd say that's your own fault.
3. ALL software evolves, if you insist on using your old hardware, stick with the programs that were built to run on your old gear.
1. OLD Hardware?! Please do your homework before replying. The Acer Ferrari One was released beginning of last year and is a top of the range netbook - more powerful than any netbook out there and any laptop that is over 2 years old. FACT! Even some of the new laptops benchmarked could not out-do this little beast. FACT!
2. Unless one is buying a Mercedes Van or Truck it will fit in the garage (even the ML320 fits) - CS2 fits and so do other Adobe CS3 & CS4 products. So why not the PS CS5 - its no a Van or Truck. In fact it's more comparable to an S-Class.
3. Hardware also evolves - it's getting smaller and more powerful. I could run PS on the water-cooled, Phenom X4 & NVidia GeForce 9800 GX2 powered stationary PC connected to a 32" LCD by HDMI, running Linux Mint 10 x64/Windows 7 x64 (dual boot) with MacOS X running virtually by use of VMWare on both. Instead I choose to be mobile editing my pics as soon as I have taken them (patience is not always a virtue)! As humans we also need to evolve and judging by most of the replies so far it's not looking good for human evolution (albeit some replies do make valid & intelligent arguments and are as such well received).

It would of course be better to maintain decorum, though, even while ranting. But does a rant really demand a sharp response? Rise above it and just don't say anything if you really have nothing to add.
To Julian: You should return the software for a refund ASAP before you're stuck with it for good.

You are right: I do mean to offend Adobe and hope they are offended!!! However, do accept my apologies for losing composure (and my manners along with it). Unfortunately, in this day and age it seems to be the only way to reach the audience of those who can assist with problem resolution of this kind. That is of course unless the very same decide to provide the PS CS5 source code which would enable me to address the issue at hand without the need to contact Adobe or rant.
Marian Driscoll wrote:
Not speaking for Adobe, I would expect that they want intelligent people to keep buying their software. They also make Photoshop Elements for someone like you. Photoshop is a professional image editing application used by professionals. Professionals do not pick up a cheap low-power netbook to do their image editing. Casting the concept of 'professional' aside, Adobe expects buyers to be literate to notice the system requirements prior to paying large sums.
If all that you are doing is web design, you should be using GIMP, which is free, requires much less resources, and is better suited for preparing web images (PNG8 with alpha anyone?).
RE: rants... GIGO
In fact, it would be better for you not to speak at all considering your assumptious and pompous nature. Adobe will pay attention to this post as long as it attracts traffic (you can find a simple explanation of the term 'traffic' in this context using this link). As to your ideology of the professional image editor, it is of little interest here and beside the point. Thus, please refrain from participating any further in this discussion while not in a capacity to speak on behalf of Adobe or offer anything other than remarkable insights into what one should or should not use for image editing.
If I have not replied to anyone, please accept my apologies - I will find the time to do so another day but I wouldn't want miss Love Never Dies at the Adelphi now would I.
Good night and good luck

Unable to use place command in photoshop

I am unable to use the place command in photoshop cs5.5 since upgrading to mavericks. The window pops open briefly then shuts immediately. Photoshop hangs as it is still awaiting the action to complets. The same behavior exists when attempting to add attachments to emails. Any idea what may be causing this? This only began to occur after the upgrade to mavericks.

If should work. If I read this correctly your last driver is a year old. Visit ATI site and download latest.

Photoshop CS5 *serious* printing issue

Dear Adobe Programmers,
we recently buy Photoshop CS5 standalone for Windows. We installed the software on Windows XP with Service Pack 3.
We are a copy center so we need to produce an huge amount of prints every day. After the installation I tried to print a page, the printer doesn't start, and I ask myself "oh well... why?". Ok, after the first try I try a second time and this time the print comes out correctly. I then open another file, launch 5 copy to the printer.. and surprise! Only 1 print comes out. So I reopen the Print dialog, i set 4 copies and... surprise! It print 5 copies. And so on, if I launch a print it print the previously setted number of copy instead of the actually inserted.
Then I found a workaround. Open the print dialog, set the number of copies needed, then hit CLOSE on the dialog windows, open it another time and send the print... this way it print the correct number of copies.
I have a past as programmer and I think your programmers made a mistake with the variable scope of the number of copies, in fact, it seems that the number is passed to the variable once the dialog is closed instead of real-time change to the value.
I read another thread where your programmers were blabbing about Microsoft problem or drivers problem. Well we can exclude both since the other programs print the needed amount of print requested, and the drivers are from differents brands and different type of printers, we actually have 2 Konica Minolta 500, 1 Konica Minolta 253C, 1 Epson Stylus Pro 9880, 1 Xerox 6030, and you want to make us CUSTOMER believe that the problem is a third part one? Don't make us laugh please. This problem is out since at least June as I can read from the previous post, and no patches have been dispatched to solve this. Please check your software better before you release to the market.
Also I wonder why in the hell you have removed the Automate->Pdf Presentation function... also it is written in some pages that this is available as plugin (I checked before I buy PS CS5) but, surprise again, there isn't any Automate->Pdf Presentation plugin available.
I'm looking forward for a very early reply. This is why I dislike closed source program, because with Open Source Program this stupid problem would have been fixed in a couple of day.
Best regards.

I would think a business would have downloaded and tested the 30 day trial, before purchase, to ensure there would be no problems.
There is a posting in here that states that the xerox print driver package has a old driver error in it and to only down load the stand alone printer drivers. That fixed one issue for someone with a xerox printer.

Photoshop cs5 says "Place" is unavailable when I try to batch process from bridge, does anyone know what's going on?

I am trying to batch process my watermark from bridge. I have a saved action in photoshop cs5 and have used it for a while and all of the sudden it says "place" is unavailable. I have reset bridge and photshop and restarted the computer. Do actions get corrupt?

That is a very common error message actions produce when for some reason the document current state does not support the command or feature used in the action step that gets the error. With our seeing a screen capture of the error message and being able to see the document window, the layers palette and the actions palette Its not possible to tell you why the actions is getting that error message. Most likely its because of the document current state. For example place is not valid for a bitmap mode document.

There is no solution other than having the device cleared by the former owner. If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

Can I still buy photoshop cs6 from the adobe website, or do I have to find it somewhere else, and what would be the best place to get it?

Im looking to get adobe Photoshop cs6, but with Adobe pushing the Creative Cloud, can I even get the program from the website? If not, where would be the best place to buy it?

As John says, they don't make it easy to find. CS6 is now almost 3 versions back with no more updates being rolled out for it.
As an alternative to purchase, you might want to consider the Photography Plan which includes PS CC and LightRoom for $9.99 per month. At least, that way you'll be eligible for updates as soon as they become available.

Photoshop CS5 "Drag&Drop Place" feature disable?

Photoshop CS5 now allows you to Drag and Drop files into your currently open document and place them as a "Smart" layer. This is quite a nifty feature, and I use it all the time for indesign, but i have grown so use to having Drag and Drop in photoshop simply open the dropped document, that i just cant shake the habit, and am constantly placing files that i simply wanted to open. Now Drag and Drop to open still works if you don't have any documents open or if you drag and drop over the menu bar area, but it's slightly less convenient.
I'd really like to just disable the Drag and Drop to Place, feature, but it would be nice if only placed a dropped file if you were holding down the control or alt key, otherwise it would just open it as normal.

Hi Nick,
I understand your issue, I got the same when upgraded to PS CS5 too, now I just got used to drag the files around the PS UI.
One thing (nor sure if you already know) is that you don't have to drag the file exactly in the menubar to open it instead of place,
you can drag anywhere in the UI that not inside a open doc tab, I drag mine into my layers panel, or any pter panel that is open
at the moment.
Regards,
Dan
