For those 10D users and others, you can use the copy of Photoshop Elements that came with the camera to take advantage of the offer.

It says Microtek and Microtek scanner?

Just to test it... Using the serial # of Photoshop Elements that came with my camera, I'm able to add Photoshop CS to my shopping cart and proceed to checkout. (I did stop there though since I already have it).

You can enter anything for the serial # or nothing at all.
Either they screwed up (serial # never checked) or they'll check it once they actually process the order. |

I've heard the same thing as PS Elements came with my camera as well. I'm still kicking around trying it, before they realize an $89 program is allowing us to upgrade to a $650 program.

Any pros & con to switching to CS from PS 7?

The thing with CS is that you can get the upgrade, but the install program searches for a registered version of Photoshop 6 on up, before it will install. I made this mistake, but was able to get PS 6 for about $150 off ebay, then upgrade.
The Elements upgrade probably does the same thing (for $300).

You hit the nail right on the head. Picking up a used copy of a previous version is by far the most cost effective way to go. Just make sure your version is full or academic and not LE, trial, or bogus.
Also, if you screwed up and bought 7.0 between September 29, 2003, and December 28, 2003 today is the last day to get the free update to CS. |

All you had to do was call Adobe. You can upgrade as far back as 1.0.7 as long as you are the registered owner. Adobe support will walk you through upgrading from those early versions.
EDIT: Oops.. just re-read your post. Sounds like you didn't have PS at all before purchasing the CS upgrade. Please disregard my comments.

The "purchase old and upgrade" path is something I've posted a couple times before, it is a great way to go but not without risk. It is how I bought version 7 (bought v 4.0 for $70 and upgraded for $149)You do need the version you purchase to meet the following conditions:
- Previously unregistered*
- NOT an educational version
- NOT an OEM version
- NOT "LE"
* An alternative is to buy a previously-registered version and have the owner transfer it to you. I would not go this path, sisnce there is no way to verify the previous owner destroyed their copy prior to selling it to you.
For $300, if you can upgrade Elements to CS, it's much lower risk than the above route and not much more expensive. I've seen reports on DPReview forums that they'll take almost anything in the serial number field for this offer, but cannot substantiate that there won't be problems later.

| Has anyone yet tried and been successful with upgrading to CS from Elements? |
