I am looking for either an oline coupon code or printable coupon for the Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0....I know, it probably doesn't exist, but it is worth a try.

I would be interested in any B & M store coupons that do not exclude software, also.

TIA :hiya:

I took a look and didn't find anything for this week. It does go on sale occasionally though.

What do you need to do with it? Do you need that software specifically? Are you interested in trying a "free" solution?

Just so you know...

Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 is also out now:

http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelwin/

don't know what other places are selling 5.0 for but I got an email from Amazon the other day that they're selling it for 99.00 but taking preorders for 85.00

Thanks Scott...I just took a Digital Scrapbooking course (well, actually, a few of them) and this is the program they used....I kind of figured there wouldn't be any kind of coupon, but I thought it was worth a try...I did receive a free trial download, but that will expire shortly...I guess it just bothers me paying full price for anything:)

as far as the "free" solution....if it's free, it's for me!...so sure, I am game...

If you are just interested in photo editing and such, try Paint.Net

http://www.getpaint.net

It is actually very powerful for a free editor.

You can also do quite a bit with Google free image manager/editor program:

If you can hold off on the Elements program, it often goes on sale for $30-$50 AR. I will see what else I can find for it though. Also, do you have any competing software right now? Sometimes that is required to get the best deal.

The best I found so far is about $70 shipped for PSE 4.0.

There is also a $20 upgrade rebate if you can show that you own one of the following:


Adobe Photoshop Elements
Adobe Photoshop Album
Adobe Photoshop LE
Adobe PhotoDeluxe
Mcrosoft Digital Image Pro or Suite
Microsoft Picture It!
Jasc Paint Shop Pro, Studio, or Photo Album
Ulead Photo Impact
Roxio PhotoSuite
Magix Digital Photo Maker or PhotoStory


You need a photocopy of the original CD or page from the owners manual.

Thanks Scott...The $70.00 sounds like a good deal...I really can't ask for more then that...if you tell me where I can get it, I will go buy it...

...and I do have Jasc PSP 9, so the rebarte makes it a really good deal...

In the meantime, I will download those other programs and check them out also...

Oh, and Brynn...I left out my thank you up there when I first posted...so thank you;)

Here is the PriceGrabber search that I did to find the low price:

WOW!

Thanks so much, Scott! I downloaded the Paint.net last night and played with it for a while....I really can't believe this is a free download...I have PSP 9 and I can honestly say that this is comparible to that and also a lot easier to use..from what I saw so far, the tutorials are in simple form and not too confusing...

I appreciate your help...

Purplus.com has PSE 4 for $41 and it comes with a cheap digicam. Just the CD, though - no manual. Might be able to sell the camera and recoup much of the cost.

For the digital scrapbooking, the Paint Shop Pro 9 yoiu have should be more than sufficient, as well as the Paint program that Scott recommended. I do the scrapbooking as well as numerous other web design with Paint Shop Pro and everything comes out really nice. Also you can use a lot of the same filters that the Adobe program uses, and many of those are free! If you would like any suggestions for any types of filters that are fun to use, just let me know:) .

I have to agree that the program Scott recommended is a very nice program, especially since it is a free program! I know several people that use it and turn out some very nice things with it!

`Also costco has 5.0 for 79.99 (they also have 4.0 for 79 which I don't get.. why would you buy 4.0 when 5.0 is the same price?)
