Promo codes and possible discounts exist and can be found in places like subscriptions to Photoshop User magazine. Rarely do they amount to much savings. shannon
Aaron, As Shannon mentioned, they do run promo’s from time to time. Also, some of the professional organizations get a pretty good discount but they are tightly controlled. Adobe pulled the discount for the NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals) due to gross misuse by some members.
The main reason that I wanted to respond: You may want to wait on the upgrade, CS4 has some issues and bogs down more than CS3, I would wait and see if the upgrade fixes that. Also, if you are on a Mac, you will not get to take advantage of the 64 bit and even the 32 bit has issues.
My bit count matters less in my business, but I saw an illustration of a new function in CS4 that will eventually make the upgrade worth the headaches and cost. The Photomerge > Vignette Removal and Geometric Distortion Correction is going to have far reaching ramifications – well beyond anything in recent Photoshop versions. For example, imagine what that can do for macro photography of flies! Could one finally create digital images that surpass Ansel Adams’ for front-to-back sharpness? It boggles my mind. shannon
