Most programs provide keyloggers and very detailed instructions on installing in a easy to follow txt file. I've never had a problem with registering when properly following the instructions provided with a torrent. Use fake names and you're good to go.
ATTENTION EVERYONE: This is the internet version of justifying not wearing a condom. Sure... "pulling out" may work for a while. Keep it up... see how long it takes to run into a problem.
You don't think Adobe has ways of catching up to fake serial numbers?
Have you ever used a pirated version of Windows XP that worked great until it came time to install Service Pack 1?
You don't think Adobe logs verified serial numbers and licenses?
Do you think different names matter when your IP address is the same?
Do you think there aren't "pirated" versions of Photoshop with "Generated Serial #s" actually posted on torrent sites by Adobe?
Good to go? If you say so...
ETA:
I've installed GIMP on many computers for friends and have used it with almost equal effectiveness as Photoshop. The only reason I don't say "with equal effectiveness" is due to experience with one over the other. With enough use, I'm sure both would yield the same quality results.
My advice: If you can't afford Photoshop, get GIMP.

I never would have guessed.
I was actually never on the Creative side of things.

I was an account executive for DMDA when I lived in Dallas. I gave it up after growing tired of working for Miles Drentel and the rest of the highly wound up staff.

I was actually in Fort Worth when I had the run of things. Dallas was/is too much of a shark tank. I did do some work for Lazzaro when I was in between working for people/people working for me...
My favorite part of the job was selling something that didn't actually exist yet...that, if done correctly, would set them back 10% of their previous year's profits. That's a helluva thing. Fortunately for everyone involved, I was good at my job (and my Creative guys were even better at theirs).
I gave it up when I realized that having my own business still meant looking at the same walls every day and wasn't making me happy.

Yep...I definitely know what you're saying there. The owner of the agency I worked for had a saying he preached to us all the time..."A confused client will always mean opportunity for us."
Yeah, he was a pillar of society.

I think that kinda puts a negative spin on what I said... I didn't seek to take advantage of a [potential] client's "confusion" for profit. I wanted them to clearly understand that you have to spend money to make money and enjoyed the unwavering faith they had in a rock-solid concept that was completely physically intangible at the point of sale...

I preferred to preach along the lines of "It's not VALUE, but rather the PERCEPTION of value that people will buy."

No, I wasn't trying to imply you were doing that. I place you at a level far above a sleezy thing like that. It's just that this character who owned the company encouraged us on a regular basis to keep the clients confused to his and only his advantage. I couldn't stomach it anymore and left the agency to observe, from a safe distance, as he eventually lost his company. Actually, his agency crashed for him faster than I thought it would. The clients got smart and left him.
You're absolutely correct about spending money to make money. A lot of people have great difficulty understanding that.

After reading all of this I felt pretty guilty so I deleted Photoshop off my computer and installed GIMP. But I do have a legal copy of it on my work computer.

In the long run - feeling guilty is far better than being being found guilty.
Going from Photoshop to GIMP is like trading in your BMW for a Volvo... One's a little more "trendy" or "cool"...a status symbol of sorts. The other has all the bells and whistles on a very different-looking dashboard... A quality "means to an end" for sure... just harder to toot yer own horn about...

Must be a sport in Texas. The guys that you & Catahoula worked for sound like they are students of Billy Sol Estes, a Texas legend (for all the wrong reasons) who at 86 is still living in Granbury, Texas . He was a miracle worker . He not only sold things that didn't exist , he grew them , he harvested them , received subsidies for them , used them for collateral and so on. Google him ....maybe he was the one y'all actually worked for.........

Photoshop Elements gives you all the tools you need to do type of graphic manipulation you see on here and it's only around $70 or $80 dollars...if you don't feel like being a criminal.

I downloaded gimp, and (with some advice from some of you guys) watched the you tube tutorials. You can really do a ton with gimp. For someone like me, that just wanted to learn basic photo editing, Gimp has been great.
