Photoshop C2C ?

Hello. How much does this software cost these days?

Not sure that the people on a Photography forum are best placed to answer that.
I certainly don't know any who use it.

What kind of photoshop do most people here use? just want to get a rough idea of prices. Cheers.

Photoshop CS3 was around 850E the last time I priced it in Ireland. If you can source it in the UK you might do better with the sterling exchange rate. AFAIK, however, Amazon will not deliver software to Ireland.

Photoshop Elements 6.0 is around 109E as is Paintshop Pro XI or whatever Corel is calling it lately both from PC World.

Sorry meant to say CS2 in first post. Probaly go for one of the cheaper PS for the moment.As im just about to buy my first DSLR. Cheers for replys.

One of my flickr friends living in England uses Elements & his stuff is brilliant. You don't need the expensive programs to get great results! PM me if you want a link to his stuff, I don't want to link it here without his permission!

If you've a new camera model and you plan to shoot raw, then you need CS3. Adobe don't produce updates to camera raw for CS2 any more. Just something you need to consider.

Other than that, I find Lightroom brilliant for processing my photos. Something to consider.

Also, most camera come with their own software for processing.

He's already said he's going with PSE 6.0 and I am pretty sure that they are fully up to date with RAW in that package.

OP I also use ACDSee Pro which has a handy enough editor if you're not going playing with layers. I think it's about 120 dollars so relatively cheap to download at the moment.

Cheers for all the info folks. Think ill go with elements to start off with.

Not really. A RAW converter comes with the camera package (Digital Photo Professional) and there are a few independent converters available for free (e.g. Raw Therapee). CS3 is nice to have but you don't need it.

You could also try the Gimp for free - differing opinions on it but then again its like asking an open question of is nikon or canon better? Is photoshop or gimp better? - well i don't know but i do know the gimp won't set you back €800 euros. I also think elements is probably a reasonable start down the post processing direction too.

Cheers.

http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/ free raw conversion - also as a plug in to the gimp (see above post). Supports canon, nikon, olympus, pentax, kodak, etc.. Also allows some manipulation if your needs are meagre.
