new guy here

Posted: April 21, 2007 - 8:18am

I just recieved my first slr (nikon d100. I know its kinda old, but it was basically free. Anyways, I want to know what Photoshop I should get. I was told that Photoshop Elements 5.0 would be just fine for what I need at this point. Whats your thoughts. Also I have seen that the Elements 5.0 sells for about 80-100 dollars. I have found them on eBay for 39.00 shipped. They say they are the Full version. Is it safe to buy software on eBAy. Whats your thoughts. Thanks

Always the latest version. But you can get by with the latest version of Elements also.

I myself wouldn't trust software purchased on eBay. Especially not to save a few dollars.

If it looks too good to be true, it is too good to be true.

caveat emptor means buyer beware.
