Free Photoshop (1 Viewer)

[Mono]

Adobe has made Photoshop CS2 (current version is CS6) available for free download, plus the rest of the CS2 suite.

Is that legal?

Is that legal?

It's the Adobe site so I guess it must be. The recommended OS for it to run on is rather ancient now, so it won't be in demand so much. We had CS2 on a G4 Mac at work but had to upgrade to CS4 when we bought an Intel Mac Mini.

I just tried it, didn't work on Windows 7 laptop. I already know it won't work on my intel imac either. So unless you have a really old computer don't bother.........

This discussion is interesting.............it is technically 'illegal' if you don't have an original licence of CS2 to start with..............but Adobe give you a serial number anyway.

Yes, that is interesting. What a mess. Typical Adobe …

Just wish it had been CS3 or higher!

It does seem to be a bit of a mess... but then anyone who wants a illegal copy can with only a little more effort get an illegal copy of CS6.

I just downloaded it and it works fine with Windows 7.

I tried to download it but they are asking for a code, how did you get around that ? Thanks Dave

Click on the original link and the code (serial number) is in the right hand box.

I just downloaded it and it works fine with Windows 7.

When I tried to install it flashed up an error message saying it wouldn't work with the current installed version of Windows..................maybe because I have 64 bit?

Edited to add...........it works if you run it in compatibility mode as a Windows XP SP2 program.

Afraid I can't shed any light on your specific problem but it's certainly not the fact that you're running 64 bit as I am too.

Hi Graeme, I ran it in compatibility mode and it works fine now.

Now if only it can upgrade itself to CS4 or later..................

How big is the download for the CS2 photoshop? I am considering adding it to my travel laptop but not if the rest of my disk space disappears.

I think the answer lies here http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/magic/creativesuite/CS2_EOL/MLTI/CS2_install_Win.pdf

That gives the answer for the full suite. I found out (by clicking and then aborting) that the download of photoshop only (PhSp_CS2_English.exe) is 340 Mb, and there is a separate code given for that only.

thanks

And it installed seamlessly in the x86 folder on my Win7 laptop
