Question

Photoshop CS2/3/4/5/6

Hi, am looking to see if I can Purchase and download an older version of Photoshop CS of any kind anywhere on this Adobe site? I cannot find this option anywhere.

I understand that Adobe have now launched the Creative Cloud but I simply cannot afford this annual payment . I can afford a one off payment for the relevant software,  and would prefer to buy the software and licence key in one payment and I want to do it officially (as I am also aware that there is a lot of pirated software on the web).

Any advice gratefully received, thanks.

    The monthly cost of the latest version of Photoshop (and future updates) plus Lightroom is only £8.57 a month (UK), which to most seems good value. If that's too much you can buy Adobe Photoshop Elements for a one off payment of around £60 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adobe-Photoshop-Elements-15-Mac/dp/B01JG8782Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1478613659&sr=8-3&keywords…

    I am wanting just the Photoshop software, I do creative drawing and find it great for that. I do not do photo editing. I have considered Coreldraw but I know others who only use Photoshop.

    Lightroom and Photoshop | Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plan is the low monthly plan that includes Lightroom. I hope the link explains what you will be paying in UKP.

    Although the payments can be monthly, it is a year long contract obligation.

    What is "it" you want to buy from Adobe?

    If you want software for illustration, the industry standard application is probably Digital Art & Drawing Software - Corel Painter 2017 (not CorelDraw).

    Thanks for your response,  I didn't realise I could get Photoshop for £8.57 per month. I had heard that the cloud was £200 annually so it is a bit cheaper than I was initially thinking.  I just require the Photoshop part itself, so that I can draw on and manipulate layers to build up picturesque artwork using my wacom drawing tablet. I have used Photoshop in the past and it was great for being creative.... basically blank canvas computer generated artwork.... Feel the need to flex my creative muscles once again but just unsure where to empty my wallet.

    JJMack has given you the correct answer to your question.

    I would advise you however, to consider carefully the cost of buying CS6 which is an old version and will not be updated to keep up with bugs or operating system updates, against  the monthly/annual Photography package which you gives you all the updates for Photoshop CC, Camera RAW, Lightroom CC and Bridge for several years for the price of a perpetual CS6 licence.
