Is that real? Bestbuy has PHotoshop 7 listed as $650. Then on the adobe site it says regularly for $499?? weird.... maybe it's not the "professional" version.
If you click on the normal photoshop 7 on the website, the listed price is $600. That is a SWEET deal if it's true, but i wonder if it's only for educational or some non-commercial use.

No restrictions. It was apparently a mistake, but Adobe are honoring it until tomorrow. Discussion here , but it seems from the people who called Adobe, it is legit, without any catches and the full, unrestricted version.
There was some discussion that it was only an upgrade option for Photoshop Elements owners. I guess you could check with Adobe if you are interested.

I'm gonna have to consider buying Photoshop... I have Photoshop Elements and that works very well for almost everything I need to do...
I would like to be able to do some duotoning and quadtoning. Elements does not have these features and i do not know how to do them manually... I guess I need to experiment some :)
Has anyone had trouble getting a purchase through?? I just tried to purchase it and got a "...sorry this service is unavailable due to technical difficulties... we are working to correct the problem..." .
Update: Adobe back online, purchase went through no problem. I spoke with customer service who told me that you had to have a "special code" that was received through direct mailings to "some" customers, but that appears NOT to be true, as I tried to buy anyway, and it worked.

Well, the worse case is taht you will need Adobe Elements for the "upgrade". But that would still save you money because elements are selling for about $80 on EBay and $380 versus $600 is still a good deal.

Install it no problem. FULL version. The box says "UPGRADE" but it's a full version installation. The CD key itself also doesn't say anything about an upgrade (which it usually does for upgrades).
Sweet. $300 :-) Congrats to those who took a chance.
Not to slight Photoshop (PS) but has anyone tried (PSP) Paint Shop Pro from Jasc Software? I have found that it supports almost every effect and plug-in that is created for PS. It also has some very useful tools for photo adjustments and supports pressure sensitive tablets as well. The best part is it's only $99 regular price. If there are any questions about the software let me know at ppritchett75074@yahoo.com
If one were so inclined one could find Photoshop 7.0 and Image Ready 7.0 floating around the net for free. I know someone who never pays for their software and has full versions of all the latest graphics’ suites at no cost. ;)
Until the day when he tries to sell his print and someone pointed him out to the authorities :)
If you like the software, you should buy it.

I use PSP, and am fairly well pleased with it. I have wondered about quality issues after it has been saved, but nothing major. I would strongly recommend it to someone on a limited budget, but wanting something for post processing.
