Nope! Still around. And the new CS5 version has quite a few nice additions too, especially an instant keyer with swappable backgrounds (that's green screen removal).

There is absolutely no way you're going to get this tech for 55 bucks in 2010. I wouldn't be surprised if they jacked their usual price by a few hundred.

Yeah, I guess I don't get marketing. Given that we are talking software it seems like selling it to 1,000,000 people for $54.99 would be better than 10,000 people at $549.00

Thing is, everyone in the image editing industry is going to buy it, no matter the price. Charging a lot has worked for them for many years, and with this juggernaut of an upgrade, they can charge whatever they please. It's like being able to buy magic.

True, but you need to provide evidence of qualification before you get your serial number. From here:

Quote:

Required Proof of Eligibility: In order to install the Adobe Student Edition software, you (or the person you are buying the product for) must first obtain a serial number by submitting proof of eligibility to Adobe according to the instructions included with the product. The following is needed to provide evidence of eligibility:

Students:
Students must provide a photocopy of a valid, current student ID that includes the student’s name, date, and a photo. If the student does not have such an ID, he or she must instead provide a photocopy of a valid photo ID and one of the following items:

- Official, current non-photo student ID with name and date
- Official, current school transcript indicating name of school and student
- Official, current school tuition bill indicating name of school and student
- Official, current report card indicating name of school and student
- Other official dated proof of enrollment

And if you are an student under the age of 18 and you do not have a valid photo ID, you may provide an official letter from your school stating your name and your enrollment status.

Teachers, faculty, and staff:
Teachers, faculty, and staff must provide a photocopy of a valid, current school ID that includes their name, date, and a photo. If the educator does not have such an ID, he or she must instead provide a photocopy of a valid photo ID and one of the following items:

- Faculty or staff paycheck stub
- Official letter from the registrar of the educational institution

Note on validation:
It may take up to three business days to receive confirmation of your proof of eligibility and your serial number from Adobe. You may install your product in trial mode while awaiting receipt of your serial number from Adobe. You may use the product for up to 30 days in trial mode.

Restrictions on use:
Individuals may purchase only one license of any Adobe Student and Teacher Edition.

If you own a full existing version of Photoshop, you can upgrade to PS CS5 for $190.99 (same price for Mac). You need to own a CS2, CS3, or CS4 version to upgrade.

Since the full version goes for $660 (on Amazon - YMMV) and you can buy a full copy of PS CS2 on eBay for $200-$250 (I've seen as low as $150, but it is probably a tough find), if someone was truly Jonesing for a full version, it would be cheaper to buy CS2 on eBay and buy the upgrade for $200.
