    [size=1.25em]YES you heard right, no BS, "Totally FREE" [/size]
    • Mac OS X v.10.2.8–v.10.3.8. PowerPC® G4 or G5 processor
    • Microsoft® Windows® 2000/Windows XP. Intel® Pentium® III or 4 processor
    [size=1.25em]Adobe Photoshop CS2 w/ Serial Number from none other than Adobe themselves [/size] [​IMG]
    • [size=1.25em]LINK: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html[/size]
    • [size=1.25em]DON'T FORGET to COPY down teh Serial Number[/size]
    • [size=1.25em]S/I number is posted on right  hand side of the table[/size]
    • However this version of CS2 does NOT require software 'Activation'
    • Apparently Adobe have shut-down their Activation Servers for their older software hence the reason for this download
    [size=1.25em]Also available:[/size] Are number of other Adobe applications ... pick your poison

    [size=1.25em]Note: [/size]The LINK might NOT be available in the near future or the URL maybe down due to high traffic overload
    ... Wasn't working for me yesterday but today it worked fine!?! I have installed the download and it setup and loaded without issue

    [size=1.25em]Should also point out:[/size] CS2 is an 8 year OLD application which was expensively GREAT back then, but today, NOT so much ...
    ... Last but no less important is the fact you will get NO Software Support from Adobe as CS2 has been discontinued!

    [size=1.25em]But if your looking for a CHEAP and powerful Photo-editor this might be ALL you need[/size]

    [size=1.25em]Putting the FREE back into the NET, enjoy[/size]

    Actually, somebody at Adobe made a big mistake. It was never intended to be free, but was accidentally released for free. According to a clarification by Adobe, courtesy of OMG! Ubuntu!

    Yup that's the story I read but from a different source ... http://www.diyphotography.net/download-adobe-cs2-for-free
    ... It was said the download servers were shut down soon after the story broke but I found them alive ...

    And Yes Yoda I have downloaded and installed CS2 and it works great, It's a keeper as I'm finding it very useful ...

    If anyone finds the LINK alive these are the available downloads for both Mac and Win
    • Photoshop CS2
    • Illustrator CS2
    • Premier Pro 2.0
    • InDesign CS2
    • Auditions 3.0

    CS2 is the version of the applications, which program(s) did you install?  Did you get the suite?

    Whoops, Do'h, I installed Photoshop CS2 [​IMG]
    ... I thought about downloading the 'suite' but it was quite a large download, besides Photoshop would be the only one I would have actually used

    EDIT: The best thing about owning Photoshop now is I can following along with allot of the great Photoshop Tutorials, w00t [​IMG]
    ... No more trying to translate them into Paintshop Pro

    You might consider getting the suite, or at least getting Illustrator and Premier.

    I have to agree, Photoshop rocks.  The only thing wrong with it is that it runs on Windows.  ;)

    CS2 is (conveniently) the only version that gets a gold rating for running via Wine.  8)

    I have it installed via Wine and it works as expected.

    Nope. Never really had much need for video editing. Although I am interested in LightWorks for Linux. LightWorks is an extremely powerful non-linear video editor that has been used to produce lots of professional Hollywood movies. A public alpha release is available now (as of today, actually!). But, now that I have a that nifty new Canon DSLR I might be shooting some video...

    Funny you mentioned the Lightworks Alpha.  It's still a closed Alpha and I tried to get in today but missed the window by 18 minutes.  The public Beta is expected to be opened before the end of the first quarter 2013.

    Wow. Pretty soon somebody is going to port this source code over to iOS and people will be using Photoshop 1.0 to post photos of their lunch online...  ::)

    Maybe they will port DOS 3.2 to IOS also.  Then you could run, uh, a command line.
