Hey guys, I was looking at buying the Quixel suite, I was surprised at how cheap it was for students, for Photoshop.. the complete opposite. Is there any way to get Photoshop cheaply or for free (legally)? I don't have £10-20 spend on Photoshop every month :/ Thanks in advance :)
There are good free alternatives to photoshop, look them up. I found this site about cheap Photoshop, dunno how helpful it is http://johnlamansky.com/tech/buy-cheap-adobe-photoshop/
I recommend looking into Substance Designer/Painter/bitmap2material (all on steam), which doesnt require photoshop. For a photoshop replacement, depending on what you do, I generally plug Krita.org (which is free).

In reality, 10 dollars a month for an extremely amazing program is awesome. Learning photoshop and…
Unfortunately, $10-20 a month is about as good as it gets. As a student you can go with the normal $10/month for Photoshop and Lightroom or you can get the full suite for $20. (That's US pricing, UK is £7.47/15.88.) Here's all the student pricing they offer: https://creative.adobe.com/plans?plan=edu for US and…
I would say don't worry so much about the Quixel suite right now. You should get good at texturing by hand without using any software other than your image editor before jumping onto the Substance or Quixel trains. The Substance packages and the Quixel Suite are amazing pieces of software, but they definitely hinder your…
