Hi all,

My daughter wants to learn how to use Photoshop and to use it so she can make desktop backgrounds, forum signatures etc, with themes from her favorite games and books/movies.
I am almost sure that I have to get her Students&Teachers 9.99USD licence but I do no know what kind of prof she will need that she is student, so I do not want to start paying before I am sure that it will be useful for her. So what is procedure and how she can confirm that she is primary school student?

    Support said that all she have to do is to use her school email to register account on Adobe site and that is good enough to prove that she is student. So .edu email address is enough.

    They also confirmed that Personal Photography and Student Photography licences are same.

    At thirteen a lot is going on in their lives. Each youngster is different.  If you are not sure your daughter is ready to make the time and effort commitment that the steep learning curve of Photoshop demands, you may want to consider first purchasing Photoshop Elements and allowing her to earn professional Photoshop when she demonstrates the qualities I mentioned. Photoshop Elements is capable of producing the material you mentioned and what she learns is easily transferable into the professional version of the software.

    So you can do this kind of editing in PS Elements?

    Save yourself the trouble and money (not to say the frustration of having to rent software for your daughter) when Krita is all your daughter would need. Everything in that video can be easily done in Krita, and the painting tools are actually arguably superior compared to the ones in Photoshop.

    The best thing about Krita: open source and free. And very powerful. More than enough for your daughter to learn the ropes, and produce high-quality work. And risk-free. Many digital artists use Krita nowadays.

    Good tutorials online on Youtube, etc.

    PS don't bother with PS Elements, in my opinion. Too limited.

    You don't need the student version. The Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan is the same price.

    Ronald, do you realize that the Student Teacher subscription is a full one and includes _all_ the CC apps?

    I double checked and it look like Individual Photography and Student Photograpy, both for 9.99 USD are same. It is 19.99USD (special offer) for students that have full bundle.

    This may help

    To qualify for a student discount, you must be at least 13 years of age and enrolled in one of the following:

    • University or college — accredited public or private university or college (including community, junior, or vocational college) that grants degrees requiring not less than the equivalent of two years of full-time study*
    • Primary or secondary school — accredited public or private primary or secondary school providing full-time instruction*
    • Homeschool — defined by state homeschooling regulations
    • Report card
    • Transcript
    • Tuition bill or statement
    • Current membership ID to a homeschool association (for example, the Home School Legal Defense Association)
    • Dated proof of purchase of curriculum for the current academic school year

    *Accredited schools are those that are approved by an association recognized by the U.S. Department of Education/State Board of Education or the Canadian/Provincial Ministries of Education and that teach students as their primary focus. In the U.S., such associations include: Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Northwest Association of Accredited Schools.

    † Documents dated within the last six months are considered current.
