| I'm a part-time student at a local college and I can buy PS CS in the book store for $350CND. Thus far, THAT'S the cheapest. If you're a student: check out the campus bookstore. |

I've passed this site on before. I have been buying software from them for years, and have never had any problems. I get original software, register it with the manufacturer (ie, Microsoft, Corel, Norton, etc), and get my support from the manufacturer.

...but that's for an Upgrade...and I don't think they mean an upgrade from Elements! |

If you're a student (or teacher), you can get all kinds of software at discounted prices. I have purchased from Academic Superstore with no problem.
The BEST deal is Adobe Creative Suite Premium (which includes PS CS, but also Illustrator, InDesign, and Acrobat) for just $371.95.
If you're interested in any kind of graphic design or drawing, you should go ahead and get the entire Creative Suite.
Anyway.... |

So is this the cheapest option? How much is it normally? Is it worth it? |
You don't have buy the over-priced "industry standard" to get Curves. Paint Shop Pro has had Curves since, at least, version 7. The current version is 9 and it sells for $119 full price. Download a trial version here Jasc products. Why not give it a try before shelling out the big bucks?
I'm just now getting started on learning PS Elements 2.0 and am surprised to find it doesn't have curves. |

I know...the only thing is, I really aim to eventually take photographs for a living and I think I'll be kicking myself if I don't begin to learn the industry standard...overpriced as it is.
...but maybe (and perhaps you veterans can correct me) if I just learn the fundamentals and concepts (curves, layers, channels, etc.) on the cheaper/free programs I can apply them to Photoshop when the time comes? |

i don't have any experience with the cheapy programs (I've been using photoshop since version 2.5), but i would say that you should just take the plunge and start learning. once you jump in, you can always buy the later upgrades cheap.
*shrug* i guess it's a lot easier for me to say that with an educational discount at hand. :D know any friendly students or teachers? ;) |

I think I'm still technically a student at the college down the street (I've been taking some purchasing courses), but I checked their website and it doesn't look like their store sells Photoshop. |

If you own a Canon camera that came with Photoshop Elements, you can buy the complete full version of Photoshop CS from Adobe for $299.
Details here |
Sweet, Eddy. Thanks for posting this. I didn't notice anything but is there a time limit on this offer and this is not an educational version, right?

As far as I know, to qualify for the educational discount, you simply need to have a child in the house in K-12 education. That's what I've read on the various web sites. My kids need a copy of Photoshop CS! |

Really ... mine's actually "used" Photoshop for almost 6 years now ... as a second-grader I have a lot of time to redeem that discount : ) |

Actually, to get the educational discount, you need to be either:
1. A student enrolled in K-12
2. A student enrolled at an institute of higher learning (university, college, community college, some trade schools.
3. A teacher, instructor or professor at one of the above.

I've mentioned it before, but in case you missed it:
//www.gradware.com/ProductDetailT.asp?ProductID=5707
I think it was $279US for students.
I've bought from them. They're legit *grin*
