    Hi, I was wondering what is the best place to buy Photoshop CS4 for Mac (price wise and such)? I don't need the entire CS4 Suite just photoshop and I am current college student so I get the discount. I was checking on Amazon last night and I can get the student edition for about $200, I could of swore I saw it for $150 a while back....

    Also at the $200 level I was considering dropping down to Photoshop Elements but have grown up on the full version and am timid to drop to PSE...

    Thoughts? Suggestions?

    Did you check your school's bookstore? They may have special licensing for Adobe products. For instance, I bought the Adobe Design Standard CS4 (Photoshop, Acrobat, Illustrator, In Design) for $209+tax with student/faculty discount.

    Yeah, I did. They have Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium for Mac for $370 which includes InDesign CS4, Photoshop CS4 Extended, Illustrator CS4, Flash CS4 Professional, Dreamweaver CS4, Fireworks CS4, Acrobat 9 Pro, Adobe Bridge CS4, Adobe Device Central CS4 and Version Cue CS4. It is a great deal if you need all of those programs but I am just interested in Photoshop....

    That's the Premium as you mentioned. How about the "Standard"? It doesn't cost much for than Photoshop itself and you get full Acrobat with it.
