Photoshop is expensive but there's a website called AcademicSuperstore that gives discounts up to 80% for students and teachers,
it makes it that much less of a hassle to get those epical Adobe programs
(I still had to save up for a year to get the programs I wanted but I'd say that's a great website for people who want to purchase programs, obviously it's only good if you're a student or teacher though D: )
