text: Photoshop is one of the top photo editing software programs you can get.  Very few people really need the main photoshop software unless they are editing pictures for a living.  It is made by Adobe which has a lower end product that you can buy for a lot less that will do a lot of the same type of stuff.  If you absolutely need this software you then hopefully you are a student or work at a university.  If so then you can get a discount from them that will make it less than half that price.  Beyond that you should try ebay as people often sell it there for less.
