Hey,

I installed Adobe Photoshop 7.0 trial version a month ago. My trial version expired and I need to use Photoshop 7.0 badly. Is there any way I can reset the 30 days trial period. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Or are there any other free alternatives to Photoshop 7.0. I know there is GIMP and I have installed it using X11 but it is not powerfull enough for my needs.

thanks you very much.

you could always try asking here

If it's that urgent, and you don't have the money for a copy, you could fresh reinstall the whole system (not archive install) - voila new 30 day trial.

Getting rid of all adobe prefs and support files and reinstalling the trial will probably work.

If you don't want to (or can't afford) the full version you should consider purchasing a scanner that comes with Photoshop Elements bundled as it is usually cheaper than buying Elements by itself.

Having said that I am no Photoshop expert so I don't know what features are missing from elements.

Sorry, "reseting" software is not allowed here in MacNN.
