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! :)

I have a Mac but I don't have any editing software. I would love, love, love to learn Photoshop! What a great giveaway - thank you!
Haha! Who doesn't NEED cs5? I NEED it for content aware, for sure! The other features would be a nice bonus! ;) Thanks for the cool giveaway offer!
I love my mac and would love to have CS5! I am working with a relatively limited photo editing program, so this would be awesome!!
I'm still using Photoshop Elements, but have begun to really LIKE Raw Processing and full Photoshop capabilities. Am taking a University Photo class. Mac CS5 would be great!
AMAZING giveaway!!!!! I have a Mac and NEED this!
Wow...Adobe Photoshop CS5! I am a budding photographer with a passion for capturing stories with my camera. I just finished taking a class to help me shoot in full manual mode and am finding my pictures getting better every day. I now have been looking into photoshop for editing my photos so that I can take them from great pictures to works of art! Thank you so much for the chance to win the latest version of photoshop!
Yes, I have a Mac. And yes, I have an old version of Photoshop. As in old. I just spent 14 minutes waiting for a photo to crop instead of 14 seconds. I need CS5! I'm going crazy!
Just attempting to dream big and turn my passion for photography into a business. I have just bought my first mac (previous pc user) and my budget has only extended as far as Aperture for editing, so this would be a huge improvement.
Whaouh ..that is a great giveways.. I am new at photoshop just had Element. I have the trial of photoshop CS5 but was so expensive that I coudl'nt buy it :( Would love to win it !!:))
Yes I have a Mac and yes I need CS5! As I learn more and more about how to use photoshop I am realizing the limitations with PSE. Having PSE has been great but I would love having the additional features available in CS5.
I need this so much because i spent sooo much money purchasing my MAC i have no money leftover for awesome software. Please let me win! :)
I have no editing for my photos yet, so it will be great to finally get this program, learn it & help me make better photos!
The only thing holding my back from buying a MAC is buying the software I'll need
A giveaway like this could come in handy.
Thanks!
My free trial just expired & I'm desparate for the full version. I am currently editing the photos from my first photoshoot with clients and would love to continue to edit in Photoshop and not have to go back to Elements.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Oh, this would be a perfect addition to my new office! I just remodeled a closet sized space in my basement for an office and the only thing I still need for my photography business is Photoshop. I would be so happy to win this!
I was a PC for years until a year ago, I realized that if I wanted to compete in this field I needed to put on my "big girl panties" and get a MAC!! I'm currently using PS4 (borrowed copy). A new Epiphanie bag and CS5 would make this small town girl feel like she was living the big city dream!
This would be awesome! I've only got PSE 8 and have been wanting to upgrade. Awesome giveaway!
I have been using Photoshop Elements for years now and would love upgrade to the bigger, better real version! Would love to win this!
What a great give away! I would love this software. I used Photoshop at an old job, and it was so much more powerful than Elements. I sure would love to have some of that power again as I look to grow a business with my photography. Thanks for this chance.
I currently only have Elements on my MacBook Pro, and it deserves so much more! I would be THRILLED to win this!!!
I am a photographer switched to a Mac about a year ago and NEED CS5! I've been saving my money and waiting...and this would be so much better. Pretty please?
Just stumbled across your website, what a great product! Would love a copy of CS5 to help take my photos up a gear. Great competition!
I would love to take my photography to the next level and Photoshop CS5 would help me do that. I have been leaning how to do the work with the camera but there is always a photo you know you could make even better in the computer!
I so need this! I have CS3 - still great... but no CS5. I've been working CS5 at my work and when I get home... something is missing :) PLUS my CS3 won't open my RAW files :/ oh gees!
Wow, this would be SO awesome! As a newcomer to the photography industry, I am overwhelmed by the amount of products that I know I need to truly develop myself and my brand. My husband got me a Mac for Christmas, and my dad had Photoshop Elements, but that does not even come close to comparing with Photoshop. This would be so amazing to win! Thank you for the opportunity!
I would love to surprise my wife with this! I recently bought her a Mac, and have really been encouraging her in her photography, but we can't afford Photoshop right now. I would love to win it so I could surprise her!
I totally want this! I am about to invest in some new photography equipment to take beautiful dance photos that “unite spirit and movement” (the subtitle of my blog Joy in Motion). Pretty please, pick me! :P
OOOH, I would love to win this! Thanks for the chance. All of my digital scrapbooking friends have CS5 and I'm stuck with CS3 still! I love CS5 for the ability to open things and SEE them all!
Thanks!
Yes!! I have a MAC and am doing the Photoshop Trial now. I've realized that when it is over so is my learning process with Photoshop for a while! I just can't afford it at this time! Thank you for the chance to possibly be able to continue learning and enjoying it! <3
Would love to win this software! Thanks for the chance!
My daughter has been begging for this! What a great surprise to give her to help towards her dream of becoming a photographer! Thank you for the opportunity!
Oh my gosh! This would be amazing! I've been scimping and saving desperately to buy CS5 for my Mac but I'm not quite there yet and would much MUCH rather spend that money on a new lens, or perhaps an epiphanie bag (?!). I've been asked to do my future sister-in-laws engagement portraits and having CS5 would make it much much better and much much more fun!
wow! thank you! i would love a copy of this to help me take my business in the next level. I have an older version of PS and having this latest version would just help me with my workflow so much. im crossing my fingers, toes and eyes. how cool would it be to win this :)
I've had Adobe Photoshop CS3 for years and use it all the time - CS5 looks AMAZING!
I would love to win this! I have Photoshop Elements, but would love to explore this software.
OMG To win this would be AMAZING! I just recently upgraded to a 5D...and when shooting in RAW, my CR2 files are no longer compatible with ACR on my version of PS3. I would do backflips if I won this!!! But please...don't make that the contingency, haha : )
Oh wow what an opportunity. Yes I have a MAC, the most fabulous platform every and I NEED CS5. I dabble in photography and blog my trips and since I shoot in RAW, I use photoshop ALL the time. Thanks for the opportunity! Good luck to whoever wins!
I need it desperatly because I am a stay at home mom to 3 beautiful children and shoot for a living and was blessed a few weeks ago with someone giving her their mac that they didnt use. BUT I dont have photoshop for it:( i use photo shop elements on a laptop. I have this candy in front of me so I head macs are amazing , but cant use it for photography til I can afford photoshop..
Thank you for doing this for whomever reveives it:)
I would absolutely love this! I'm still using CS3 on my beloved 2 1/2 year old Mac Book Pro. I can't express how thankful I would be to have the upgrade! I've been a photographer for about 12 years now, 7 years of that in the Navy as a military photographer. Now I'm a family and wedding photographer, and I am so in love with my job and the amazing people it allows me to meet.
Thanks, have a great day!
I would incredibly grateful to win this CS5 for Mac. I am ready to upgrade what I have!! YAY!!
My husband just bought me a MAC because my PC croaked and my software is now not compatible! What's a beginning photographer to do with such a small budget? This would be awesome! Thanks for the chance!
I can't tell you how much I need this for my Mac. I've been trying to take my photography to the next level, and sell more photos, but I'm pretty broke and can't afford to buy of copy of Photoshop. Winning this would make world of difference to me ... I'd love it and be forever grateful. Thanks for offering this fantastic giveaway.
Hope I'm not too late... it's not past midnight on the west coast! I would love to win this!
Have used Photoshop at work for years and years. LOVE it! Always something new to learn! I could really use this at home for my Mac laptop!
I would love to be able to use Photoshop CS5 - thank you so much for giving this away.
I'm entering to hopefully win this for my wife...she deserves it:)
Currently using Photoshop CS3 on MAC so would dearly love this!
My son-in-law, who is a photographer, says I need this so I would be jazzed to win it and tell him that I (finally!) have it. I have two Macs.
Just saw this and I need it badly enough to enter late!
I will not believe this until I see the Photoshop CS5 showing up in my menu bar as a wish come thru because I saw a falling star yesterday night.
I need this! And I have a Mac, and I have SO many creative ideas that can only come to life with Photoshop! Was seriously thinking about purchasing my own copy, then I found your give-away! I'll wait to see what happens--fingers crossed :)
