I just dived right in and decided to purchase a subscription to Adobe Photoshop CC, which is the CS6 equivalent through their Creative Cloud Service. It is the exact same as Photoshop CS6 but subscription based. I can't afford the $600-$1000 price on the CS6 buyout but this is $20 a month and I can afford that for now. In 4 years it will have paid for a copy of CS6 but this way I am also getting all updates to the software. It works for me. I will definitely practice some digital art between commissions for a recharge. Speaking of which, I should have another one posted in the next day or so. I will make that shipping journal tonight after dinner. Thanks all!
