Take your bloody computer to Fortune Tower and have someone install copy Adobe Creative Suite. You're making this much harder than it needs to be.

yes but this is MO for a scampy thread, do you recall him spending 3 years asking TV and TD which computer he should buy?

Cool! I remembered how I got mine working last time. I downloaded this crack:

Adobe CS3 Design Suite Premium Crack for Leopard

From this page:

The Pirate Bay - The world's largest BitTorrent tracker

and when you've downloaded the 15mb torrent, open it up, and it gives you a box with a 'Drop Zone'.

Then just drag and drop the icon for Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash.....whatever....form you applications foulder into that box and wait 30sec's and hey presto any of those programs will now open up fine with no need for a serial and no 30 day trial period.

This is info for anyone else trying to do it as I'v already let Scampy know.

Which is why he deserves to not receive any attention - three years??

WTF, did his parents ignore the bugger fok all while growing up? Should be a lesson to all about what to avoid doing, unless you want to be worse parents...

No need to flatten the .psd file. Simply do a save as JPEG or other desired format and PS will create file name xxxxcopy.jpg.

You know this, and I know that -- but since Dummy here has decided to flatten the file ('merge layers') and since he has a history of ZERO listening to more constructive and simpler solutions, I didn't even bother ... He's probably dead set on only using 'flatten image / merge layers'.

What was the problem with his in the end?

Scampy.

So you'll be just fine.

^ People stealing softwares just deserve to get trojans and virii.

^^ Wasn't downloading PS from PB, only downloading a keygen. I've run a check, and I'm clean.

Agreed.... so far it seems to be working... :-)

DaffyDuck - shut it, I've sent you a green so.

Wallalai - why should I pay for it?

^ Photoshop is not free, the company had to pay developpers, and other investments to write the software. Understand ?

Or should I explain in french ?

Gimp is a GPL software and free for use and you can even rewrite it to your needs if you like.

... albeit considering the mess Adobe is lately making of their general 'support' for the Mac, I am seriously questioning if they are even worth paying $1 for Photoshop.

They just released newly discovered compatibility problems with Photoshop and Snow Leopard -- things like the Open and Save dialogs crash it.

I guess a company like Adobe hasn't had access to the beta testing problem, or that testing Mac compatibility hasn't really been on their list of priorities....

It's maybe a mess (Don't know myself as I don't use it) that's not the point. It's not free.
If someone cannot afford to buy it he should look for semething cheaper or even free.
If I want to ride a sports bike when I can only afford a Honda Wave, am I allowed to steal a CBR ? Little bit carricatural but it's the same for me.

Oh no, I agree with your argument -- it's just my point being, that if a company charges money for something, they should at least deliver a product that works. Adobe clearly doesn't, which is why I use Pixelmator, instead of Photoshop, for example.

I am sure the folks at MS would be intrigued to hear of your revolutionary business ideas

^^
I think I'm too far out in left field for them.

ROTFLOL!

this guy seems pretty good at ps.

Okay, a member kindly PM'd me some serial numbers, three sets - a while back, and that kept me going for a while but now they're all invalid.

Basically, I can use PS4 but I need a new serial number each time I open it.

Just tried to download another serial number but it's asking me to become a member and log in and all that stupid shit, I need another solution.

You may as well try that patch thing I gave you for ps3 now then.

I have a serial number for you Scampy, will cost you 2 large Paulaner in Cowboy

You can't just enter a valid licence number, you have to stop PS4 from "phoning home" as well.
You do that by editing your hosts file so that urls used for licence check points back to your own computer, ie the line will be busy whenever PS4 tries to phone home.

Without that patch you'll need umpteens of licence number unless you remember to disconnect the computer from the internet each time you run PS4..

Wrong - you need an Enterprise activation serial number -- it bypasses the activation 'call home' and just works. He was offered one on page one of the thread - 'nuff said.
