Photoshop

Question

Hello, not sure if I'm doing the right thing here, but my granddaughter learnt Photoshop at college when she was doing graphic design.
She is coming off benefits and now she wants to earn some money from what she has learned, but the cost of Photoshop is prohibitive.
Unfortunately, there are not enough funds available to pay monthly, especially with the increase of household bills. Of ocurse I try and help out, but my bank account is not so great anymore.

Is there a cut down version of Photoshop anywhere, or should I be looking on Ebay for used Discs maybe ?

I have both the full Photoshop CC and Photoshop Elements. For my purposes, I use Elements probably 90% of the time. If your granddaughter can make the one-time purchase of Elements, I suggest she downloads the 30 day free trial to see whether it works for her needs.

Elements is currently sold by Adobe for $99.99. But you can buy from other retailers for a cheaper price.

I should also add that, historically, Elements comes out with a new version around this time of year. So, your granddaughter should let the free trial play out before making a purchase decision. In the past, if you purchase from Adobe directly, there was a policy to give a free upgrade to a newer version if the purchase is made within a short period of the new version's release date. I don't know whether that policy is still in effect.
