Now, I’m a big fan of Open Source software, rather than of supporting the big software corporations. That means that I usually promote the Gimp 2.8 image editing package over the expensive Adobe Photoshop bloatware. However, my credentials as a tight fisted photographer would be damaged if I didn’t pass over the following information. Adobe have decided to close their activation servers for an old version of Photoshop – CS2. How I understand it, this version is at the moment effectively freeware (NOT open source). Ok, so CS2 might seem a bit out dated, but that can mean that it’s faster on older hardware. So, if you want a legal Adobe Photoshop, to try alongside Gimp 2.8, then you can at the time of this blog, find it by following the following link:

Thanks to my Bro for passing it on to me.
I’ve been trying to get into Gimp but I’m stuck with all the Photoshop shortcuts in my head. I’ll give this a go, thanks!
Good luck, I’ve downloaded a copy onto a Windows PC, and it appears to work ok, but funny thing is, I’ve gone native with Gimp. I can’t see myself migrating back to Photoshop. Still, it’s nice to have a free copy.
