Alot of internet shit is expensive and is alot of money to drop on it (photoshop) If they want more people to buy, maybe they should consider lowering some of their prices.

Photoshop isn't made for regular consumers - it's made for professionals who use it for work.

Just as much as I used £40+ screwdrivers for work because they're designed for the purpose. These days I happily use cheapo £5 ones because I don't need to worry about them surviving the abuse.

Pointless bitching about something you don't need, and certainly wouldn't buy.

Much the same as Microsoft Office 2010 Professional, for $999 NZD?
