Free, and after making the comparison with PS, it still sits unused on my computer. GIMP does a reasonable job for those who deny the functionality of CS5/6, or those who insist of "free". You do get what you pay for. After making the basic comparison and saying that they are both capable of editing and adjusting image files, there is no contest. CS3/4/5/6 are all far superior to GIMP. ....but GIMP is "free". -- Regards, Savageduck |

That's rather meaningless, though, without considering something like how many hours a New Zealander would have to work at minimum wage to earn NZD $1,000 compared to how many hours an American would have to work at minimum wage to earn USD $801. The minimum wage aspect is useful only to establish some means of comparing earning power and cost of product. Obviously, minimum wage earners are not the prime buyers of Photoshop. I think there might be NZ customs and import duty to be considered. However one would think there would be local distributers who could import at wholesale from the US, to sell with a lower retail penalty for the NZ purchaser. -- Regards, Savageduck |

US and Canada (except Quebec for reasons that escape me). Sorry this is so late - just opened my mail; That's nuthin! I got an offer for CS 6 for $300! I already have elements 10 - don't like it... Thinking of going for CS6... (need to trade in E10 for the deal.) That's a good deal if you need CS6. I have CS5 and no complaints. I think you'll like Bridge which is included. What don't you like about E10? I was studying CS5 for quite a while, and learned quite a bit about editing using LAB mode and all the other fancy bits, so now when I go to use E9 or E10 (I have both of those) I find I can't do what I want. For example, instead of an Fx menu for layer styles, there are just a few icons to pick for factory set bevels and shadows and things... far less control than I'd like! Actually, no control, just pick something... it's software for neophytes and there p&s cameras, not really serious stuff. I'm finally starting to take some decent photos and enhance them with ACR and CS and want to go farther! I've been using lots of different software, usually Micrographx until they went out of business, and I bought Elements 2 and then 4. I bought a used PC with CS3 in it, but it had a problem and didn't work well. (probably why he sold it!) This year I began studying CS5 on a family members machine, and liked it so much I bought Elements 10 on sale, but discovered it is very limiting. Then I bought a new Dell top-of-the-line computer (have had it a month now) and it came with Elements 9... So I have lots of stuff to think about! I really should get CS6 and put it on the Dell I guess... but it's not on the net... everything has to be connected today! (I have no help file in E10 because of the lack of connection.) |

The same way people do with Apple? - Yeah, right. It's all strictly controlled. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

The retail price quoted in NZ is quoted in AU$ at AU$1186 which is US$1270. So there is some sinister profiteering in the "Land of OZ"? I note that Adobe will sell from their web site, and will deliver via download 1.1 GB CS6 for the US price of $699. If you want a hard copy there is this note: "What are Asia Pacific and Brazil shipping times and costs? Shipping time is 3-5 days, and shipping costs are calculated automatically when you place your order.Â*You can view your total shipping charge at the time you place your order. • Australia: Shipping is A$25. Â* • Brazil: Shipping is US$25. • Other countries:Â*The total weight of all items, shipping method selected, and destination of the order determines the shipping cost. Note: If you live in South Africa, New Zealand, Hong Kong, or Brazil, the carrier (FedEx or UPS) charges you for any required taxes. The carrier then pays them to the appropriate authorities. This tax doesn't appear on your order during the checkout process.Â*" -- Regards, Savageduck |

CS6 is US$ 699 or AU$ 675.44 So, if that is the quote for standard CS6, there is something rotten in the "Land of Oz". -- Regards, Savageduck |
