FYI: Adobe is giving away Photoshop CS2

eriqjaffe · 01-07-2013, 11:46 AM

Actually, it's all of their CS2 products!

link redacted

It's a few versions old, but it works great - heck, it's what I use for my jerseys.
You just need a (free) Adobe account.

edit: There is a lot of confusion as to whether Adobe intended this for public use or just for existing users, so I'm removing the link until Adobe says something one way or the other.

Wow! This could be huge for this community. Thanks for sharing.

The site is temporarily down. We must have flooded the server!

Fyrestorm3 · 01-07-2013, 01:41 PM

Oh thank god, I can finally stop using Photoshop 7. I mean, it works and all, but the CS series is SO much better. I just don't have the insane amounts of money to shell out for it.

Can always get any adobe program free

just saying

I have found paint.net very usable for jerseys. There is an addon that let's you open files from other programs.

It appears the landing page for CS2 is down, but if you go to the SlickDeals site and scroll down, you can find links (and key codes) for each individual program. Adobe Creative Suite CS2 Standard (PC or Mac Digital Download) Free (Adobe Account Required) - Adobe Deals, Coupons and Promos

Ya this looks to be DOA

eriqjaffe · 01-07-2013, 03:39 PM

I'm not sure if it's really DOA or if they're just overwhelmed.

We have to pause this service for system maintenance. We're sorry for the inconvenience to everyone for assistance. As soon as maintenance work is finished, so we have to be able to start preparing the service, we ask that you please wait for a while.

Just be aware that PhotoShop CS2 cannot open, work with, or convert Paint Shop Pro files.

If it makes you feel any better, I actually have Photoshop 6 installed on my PC (though truthfully, I never use it).

Adobe Are NOT Giving Photoshop Away Afterall…

Earlier today we brought word that Adobe’s CS2 suite of apps were, rather suddenly, free to download and install. It now transpires that we were misinformed.

Thundercrack · 01-07-2013, 10:12 PM

Download Adobe Creative Suite 2, Including Photoshop and Illustrator, for Free

Yep, it sure is working now.

eriqjaffe · 01-08-2013, 10:40 AM

A statement from Adobe says that the links are for existing owners who need to reinstall.

Update on CS2 and Acrobat 7 Activation Servers (Adobe Featured Blogs)

Mods, it might be best if you lock/delete this thread.

Ky55Marine · 01-08-2013, 10:42 AM

Adobe is actually getting rid of the CS2 Suite license server so there is nothing wrong with DL'ing it
