Because I need to go shower and then head back to Whalen (the music building) to practice, since I haven't done so yet today (mostly because I accidentally left my trombone mouthpiece in my dorm room).
So I was thinking about purchasing Photoshop CS5 Extended. Because I miss photoshop. I miss doing digital art.
I have nothing against traditional art XD Just... using photoshop for comic editing and stuff like that is a lot easier than the programs I'm using at the moment. And its more tablet friendly.
However, if I like, want it for cheap ($200), I have to buy the student edition. I heard that if you buy the student edition, you can't upgrade it later in life... HOWEVER, I guess I don't really care. I use CS2 all the time back home, and never upgraded it. Mostly because I didn't want to...
See, I /just/ want photoshop. Since I'm not an art major (rather, a drawing major XD Music is an Art), I don't really need Flash or Illustrator or the other 500000000 programs that the Creative Suite comes with.
But like, I've used Illustrator in the past, and I think that if I were to like, do anything Graphic Design classes up here, I would need Flash/Illustrator and stuff like that... and if I end up doing that internship with Lego again over the summer... I might need them. I don't know.
The other option is to look into buying the full program of SketchBook (AutoDesk), but I'm not really liking it... and I never use it. Like, ever. I'm so used to Photoshop that Sketchbook is like... odd.
What are your opinions?
As I look outside, the clouds look really questionable, so I think I'm going to go shower now, in the case that we get hit by a thunderstorm. Again. Which I don't mind, but I don't want to be running outside in a storm again. Not that I'm afraid of lightning or thunder. I just don't like being outside when electricity is flying around.
Anyways, OFF TO THE SHOWERS.

you cant upgrade with student editions?
you can just get photoshop for $200, or get a suite with four or five programs (flash, illustrator, etc), for about $400. better deal, but then again it does depend if you'll use it more. you might not, but it might help you draw more and do new things
yeah, see, I won't use Dreamweaver or many of the other programs... I dunno. I'm still thinking about it. Thanks for your input =]
