Adobe Photoshop CS5 Give-away!
Wednesday, March 30, 2011 at 9:46AM 
Adobe gave us a copy of Photoshop CS5 Extended for MAC. We thought it would be fun to give it away. Do you have a MAC? Do you need this? Tell us why in the comments before midnight Thursday, the 31st. The winner will be chosen at random and announced on April Fools Day. But we swear, this is not a joke. Good luck! :)

Oh. My. Gosh. I sooo need this. My PC recently died and now I have a Mac. Needless to say, ALL my editing software is for the PC. It will take me a while to re-buy it all for the Mac. This would be great!!!
Wow, would this be on time for me or what?! Photoshop is my main program along with Lightroom. I have been a fan for a long time and I desperately need to upgrade my software. This would be right on time and so awesome!
WOW !!! thanks for the giveaway.. I would love to have something better to edit my photos
I only have Elements right now and would love to upgrade to some serious software!!
Yes! I would love this - I have always wanted to learn PS and what a great opportunity to do so.
Oh my! I need this because I just discovered actions and now the Elements that I bought a couple of years ago is just not functional enough. I wan take my shots to the next level. :)
Oh my goodness I need this so bad!. I'm a mommy that's also going to school for photography and alot of my school work is done in cs5. It would be such a blessing and a time saver if I had this program and home.
i am switching from a pc to a mac... once you get a mac, you never go back!!!
I currently work from home for a small print shop doing some graphic design work. If I ever quit my job, I will lose my CS4 since it's theirs... Might as well just upgrade now and not have to stress about it later.
Of course I need this!! I'm getting ready to buy my very first Mac (Macbook Pro) in the next couple weeks. I'm currently using PSE8 on my PC, but would LOVE to upgrade when I get my laptop! Pick me, pick me!
Awesome! I have CS3 right now, but would be so excited to upgrade!!
I take a gazillion pictures & have recentlly purchased my first MAC.
I miss my Photoshop from my PC.
Would love to have Photoshop for MAC!
Oh, I could SO use this! I love photography (portrait, nature, food), and I need something new to learn to make my photos better!
EEee! how totally great of you to do this! My new mac book pro is so lonely without CS5 on it, I think it would come to life and hug me if I won!
I'm a new photography business owner, and while I use Lightroom 3 extensively and know it inside and out, I've been having to make do with Photoshop Elements for those extra touchups until I have the cash to pay for CS5. Would LOVE to win a free copy! =)
(And I *love* your bags, too! =))

Have a Mac and don't do any photo editing whatsoever. Would be fun to see the possibilities! Thanks for an awesome giveaway!
What a wicked give away! I need CS5 because I'm using the version my husband has on his computer and it's not working out so well. He needs his computer for his work and I need it for mine ... which means that one of us is usually unproductive! Booo to that!
Wow - this would be fantastic to win! I just completed a Photoshop class and am always looking to become more proficient as I work to grow my little photography business. This would be an asset to my bank account, for sure. :-)
Holy smokes!!!! I just decided to switch to a MAC from my PC and was wondering how I was going to be able to afford to the Photoshop and lightroom again! It would be such a blessing if I could win this! You have no idea.
I'm rocking out Photoshop 7.0. My computer hates it. It needs a makeover. And apparently you've got the means to make it's dream come true!
(Thanks for the chance!)
I have a MAC. I need this because I don't have it.
I would love a copy of CS5 for Mac as I'm going to purchase one in the next few months and have an amazing Canon that I'm starting to take all sorts of dance pictures with...it would be so helpful to have some great editing software to "help" the images when I mess them up :) I also can't wait to purchase my new epiphanie bag--but that is coming with the tax return. I have four lenses and realized at a comp this weekend that I was poorly equipped to carry all of my camera stuff around easily. It shouldn't be a struggle to juggle lenses and a body b/c it takes the fun out of shooting.
I'm about to graduate and will no longer have school access to photoshop. Hopefully I'll win so my post grad photography doesn't suffer!
I'm turning my passion of photography into a profession and the next must have on my list is Adobe Photoshop CS5! Please make my April Fools day dream come true! ;)
I would LOVE to have this. I just put it on my to-do list to really learn photoshop so I can start adding better elements to my blog, and lo, and behold, here's a contest to win the software! I love my Mac and my Mac will love this freebie!
I need Photoshop CS5 because it's too expensive for me..!
I'm a student..a poor student!
Please, help me :P
I would so love an upgrade to CS5 for my Mac!
oh yeah I do!!! yay
Oh how I would *love* to win this! I've been making due with CS3 for years now, an upgrade is much needed. Pretty please! :)
Oh My Goodness I need this!! This is the answer to my prayers!! I am trying to go back to school for photography and my classes require this software and and have been saving my pennies to buy it!! I sure hope I win!!
I have a MAC, that I LOVE!! Except I don't have Photoshop for it. I have an old PC with CS3 but like I said it's old and may be on deaths door soon. I greatly need photoshop for my MAC since I am dead broke and my Hubby's unemployed right now....Please please :)
I am branching into Graphic Design. Although I'm taking the courses, I don't have the program at home. It's going to be hard to manage photos and make them web ready and print ready without a master program to accomplish the task when I turn pro myself.
I have an older Mac, but I just bought a camera and am trying to start my own photography business. Having good editing software would make things so much easier :))
I WOULD LOVE IT!!!!!!!! I just got my MAC and i need it soooo bad for my business! i just moved to a new area so this would really help with my production!!!!!!! Thanks for an awesome giveaway!
Nice giveaway!! Well, I'm old school on CS2 still and my computer is about to die, so this would be awesome to win for a new computer!!!
I would LOVE to win this. I currently use Lightroom and would love to be able to do a little more with my photos. This would be fantastic. Great giveaway!
I am a Mac girl all the way!!! Cuz once you go Mac you never go back!!! I have been dying to upgrade from CS4 since it came out... It does some pretty cool things!! Thanks for the chance! Happy hump day!!
i am currently trying to start my own photography business so this would be the BIGGEST gift ever!!!!!!!! i also have a teensy, tiny love (actually its huge) for design and creating beautiful graphics and we all know that photoshop is rockstar for graphic design.
thanks for this amazing offer
When we engage in what we are naturally suited to do, our work takes on the quality of play and it is play that stimulates creativity. But in order to execute my creativity to it's fullest I must have the equipment and software to do so. I would love to have a copy of CS5 for my brand new mac. I recently switch to Mac from PC and am still trying to rebuild my software library.
I would LOVE a copy of CS! I just started my photography journey and am a student, which means money isn't always abundant! This gift would help bring my photos to the next level. I would be thrilled to win!
I would love to win this for my SIL. She has a MAC and I know would LOVE having CS5.
You guys are awesome. Have I said that lately? We need photoshop like every other start-up photography team needs it: to elevate our pictures, to take away people's pimples in a way that lightroom can't do, to completely abuse textures just because it's fun. :)
Yah, Love this giveaway and its coming at the perfect time! I recently got a Mac for my birthday and I am running out of time on my trial of CS5. If I can get my hands on a copy before it runs out that would be amazing since my back up would be CS..1 I guess you would call it?! haha Pretty much CS-cant-do-anything is what it SHOULD be called. =/
I sooo need this! I've been working with Photoshop Elements 9, and it is a great program, but there is so much I cant do in it! I would love to be able to use a lot of the features that this program has, it would speed up my workflow tons!
YES!! I need this so I can finally upgrade from measly old Elements.
I have an older version of Photoshop and fear that my laptop is dieing. It would be great to have a new version, and a disk for it (can't find the old one) esp. in case it does crap out.
I just bought a new camera and next on the list is PHOTOSHOP! Im so excited for this opportunity! Thanks!
I would LOVE to win the copy of CS5 for Mac. I have CS4 and Lightroom 3 and I know I'm not getting the full functionality of the pair.
I would to have CS5 to be able to do more in depth editing.
my husband has a mac and actually NEEDS this for his job! we've been trying to figure out how we could possibly afford a copy for his computer...
