Get your free copy of Photoshop this Christmas as well as Illustrator directly from Adobe! Here’s a nice Christmas present for you, a friend or loved one. Right now you can get a free, legitimate copy of Photoshop and the rest of the Creative Suite 2, right now, direct from Adobe. No catch – yes, maybe this version is a little old but it does the job and was cutting edge just a few short years ago…… . Apparently Adobe’s tired of keeping the activation servers running to support legitimate installs of the 10-year-old CS2, so it’s decided to just give it away. This is a great program is you are mostly focused on quick image editing. On the link page, Adobe provides this serial number to use … 1130-1414-7569-4457-6613-5551. Photoshop CS2 will still do all the basic things, just not the new fancy smart ‘content aware‘ stuff. This is a GREAT FREEBIE —> so get over to Adobe.com and get downloading.
Update: It looks like the Mac version is actually for Power PC devices, so you’ll need Mac OS X v.10.2.8–v.10.3.8 or Rosetta to get it working.
