Student Editions...?

What is the difference between normal software and the student editions? For instance, it's obvious to tell what is missing with Microsoft Office in the student version, as there is only like 4 programs...





But what about image editing suites and things like that? Like... Adobe Photoshop Student? What is different? It's like £400 cheaper, so does that mean there is hardly anything good about it compared to the normal one for £500?





I really need programs like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and Corel Paint Shop Pro... But I really dont have like over £1000 for these software packages... so how do the student versions measure up to the normal ones? Are there loads of features missing etc?





Anyway, thank you!

Student Editions...?
Usualy it means that there are a few features missing, but are mainly contributed to student discounts. here is a list for student eligibility.

Reply:The student edition works exactly as the normal edition with all its features but BUT the only thing that is restricted is IS the rights that are granted to you with that i.e, you cannot use the product to produce anything that would be used for commercial purposes.


Thats it. Report It

Reply:I think it's exactly the same, but only available to people who meet the criteria.





Look here:

Make sure you fill the criteria before you buy.





Meanwhile, try the GIMP as described above. I can't be doing with it, so I use Photoshop, but you might have better luck than me.
Reply:I recommand you to use Google Picasa to manage and edit your pictures.





Picasa is software that helps you instantly find, edit and share all the pictures on your PC. Every time you open Picasa, it automatically locates all your pictures (even ones you forgot you had) and sorts them into visual albums organized by date with folder names you will recognize. You can drag and drop to arrange your albums and make labels to create new groups. Picasa makes sure your pictures are always organized.





Picasa also makes advanced editing simple by putting one-click fixes and powerful effects at your fingertips. And Picasa makes it a snap to share your pictures ¨C you can email, print photos at home, make gift CDs, instantly share via Hello™, and even post pictures on your own blog.





free download in here, just have a try:

Good Luck, Best Wishes!
Reply:Office Standard S%26amp;E is exactly the same as Office Standard - the difference is the licence - it is a lot cheaper than the normal one, is good for 3 PCs at one time, but (strictly speaking|) you do have to meet certain criteria - I reckon I meet them as my daughter is doing a counselling course at the moment! I suspect that the thinking here is to "get them young" - if you've used Word, Excel, etc. for your college work, you won't want to use anything else at work or at home.





The full version of Photoshop is an industry standard fully featured image editing program. For beginners to serious amateurs to small business use, the "cut down" Elements version has everything you could want plus everything else you need but don't know about yet, a much simpler interface, much better help and a much smaller pricetag.
Reply:Go to the websites of the products you want to know about and do a comparison. There you will be able to see the differences
Reply:There is not going to be as many features in the student edition, but do you really need the brand name programs anyway? You can get free open source programs with the same features. I use both of these programs.





For Microsoft Office, try OpenOffice.org


and for Photoshop, try The GIMP.
Reply:i dont know the exact differences, but I know that the power point options are the same. my husband is a junior accountant and had to purchase the proffesional. he is a frugal man, so if the student version would have worked, trust me, he would have used it and saved the money.

I have used this ever since (in accordance with the license terms) and have yet to find any limitation at all.
