[LargeFormat] Photoshop

[Vince Dobson]

Thanks Paul.  I didn't read wrong, so these must have fallen off a truck -
but don't know how because the guy has a web site with everything listed.  I
bought QuickBooks Premier edition for the same bargain and it works fine and
I still get my tax tables ok.

I have 3 gig memory running on a 333mhz bus or something like that.  My best
friend builds my machines for me.  He just built a super machine for himself
that is more powerful that anything available now - I'm jealous an might get
him to build me one also.  I don't know enough to even explain what he did
but do know he has a huge fan with pipes to pump the air to various chips
for cooling.

CS2 for $80????????

I don't think so. Someone is lying to you, or you didn't read it properly.

The lowest upgrade prices around are in the neighbourhood of $250 or so, and
that is from a previous version of Photoshop (the FULL version, not LE). The
best price I have seen for an upgrade from LE is $299, and that was offered
in conjunction with Wacom and Adobe for people who had purchased a Wacom
tablet with a software bundle.

Also, CS2 needs about 384mb of ram to run properly (that is what Adobe
recommends as minimum), add that to your operating system (if you are using
XP, that is another 150-180mb), so you need an absolute minimum of 512mb
just to get your computer up to speed. You are talking about scans from
large format negs . . . they are HUGE . . . add another 512mb, preferably
1gb of memory to your system, otherwise forget the whole thing . . . you
will die of old age waiting for virtual memory to pass bits and pieces back
and forth.

good luck
