Exactly that kind of talk had made me putting off getting Photoshop to work on
my digital files. I am currently using a lowly 166MHz Pentium with 40MB of RAM.
It is true that you need to refresh the memory by restarting the computer every
once in a while, but I have found it doable with my humble setup.
Adobe recommends at least 32Mb of RAM for 5.0 which I have. I know Photoshop is
expensive, which is another reason why I have put it off. Students and teachers
can buy one at an academic discount. Go to your campus bookstore and find out
how much it would cost you. If I remember correctly, it was less than $300.
I bought mine as a scanner bundle. Since I have a lot of Ilfochrome prints I
would like to digitize, I reasoned that I could use a flatbed scanner. An
upgrade from 4.0 to 5.0 was free.
