But at times this kind of tool can be VERY handy. Now, everyone has opportunity to get a free version of Photoshop CS2 (and all of the other CS2 products!)<\/p>\n<p>Even if you&#8217;re not a user of picture editing software, learning the basics of Photoshop can come in very handy at times. I would certainly promote this now free software to any serious photographer (if you do not own a version already).<br \/>\n<BR><br \/>\n<strong>Where to get it and where to run it<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can download all version (plus keys) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adobe.com\/downloads\/cs2_downloads\/index.html\" title=\"Download Adobe CS2 software\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a>. There are both Windows and Mac versions available for most titles.<\/p>\n<p>Mac users beware: This is pre-x86 software, so it runs on Power PC CPUs only, so you need either an older mac with such a CPU, or you need to run it from Mac OS X v.10.2.8 \u2013 v.10.3.8 (or use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/asia\/rosetta\/\" title=\"Rosetta\" target=\"_blank\">Rosetta<\/a>) to get it working.  <\/p>\n<p>For Windows users: The software needs at least Windows 2000 \/ Windows XP with at least a Pentium III CPU. So you should all be fine I guess \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n<p>One final thing: You need to have or create an Adobe account in order to use the software. A small price to pay \ud83d\ude42  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even though the CS2 suite is older software, it is still a great tool for doing the basics!
