During the semester we will be working with the Adobe Creative Suite, which includes Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Acrobat. If you want to work at home and do not care to sign up for the Adobe Creative Cloud, you may be able to work on your Photoshop assignments using either Gimp or Pixelmator. Gimp is a free PS imitator and works with either Mac or PC. Pixemator is Mac only, and runs $29.95. Both programs export to Photoshop. While neither is as feature-laden as Photoshop, either should suffice for the work we will be doing in GRM23. If, however, you can swing the monthly fee for the Creative Suite, that will be preferable, giving you access to all the software we will use during the course of the semester.
