Adobe Photoshop CS2 download for free

[Gnome Nomad]

A friend mentioned this. Perhaps of interest to people who're interested
in a very capable tool that has possibly some limited usage in making
panoramas.

For PowerPC Mac or Windows 2000 and XP.

There's been some discussion about whether this is legal or not. One
Adobe employee says it's only for existing customers. But there's
nothing on that page to say so.

I've discussed this in my diary at
http://www.lemis.com/grog/diary-jan2013.php#D-20130109-003648
Comments welcome.

I'm sure it's legal. Why else would they offer it?

I see no context for the page, so I don't know what they intend. But let's face it, it's CS2 which is so long in the tooth it's nearly dead.

And on the Mac, it's PPC only. (Hard to remember, but I think I had it working on my intel MBP for a time, but I'm pretty sure it was DOA by Snow Leopard. Although I did a lot of good work on it, CS2 wasn't even that great when it was new (at least on the Mac.) It had a number of persistent bugs. CS 2 is from the time when Adobe was not just dragging their feet on Mac software, they were positively hostile toward the Mac. 

People with an old computer can download CS2 and get hooked. Then when they upgrade their computer, Adobe can get their taste   ;-)  Seriously though, if you have a computer that runs it, it's pretty good software.

Well that makes sense. Tempts me build a Windows computer!

Yes, but unfortunately incorrect. The pages didn't get "pulled", they
were temporarily unavailable, possibly because of load issues. The
page is still there, and there's still nothing to say that you can't
download it for free.

Runs Photoshop CS2 runs very nicely under WINE on Linux. Illustrator
doesn't. Haven't heard about the rest.
