Ok, so for some reason the ctrl keys and arrow keys will not work when I'm in photoshop. They work outside of photoshop, but I cant use them at all in photoshop. I looked around the preferences and options, but nada! Anybody know how to fix this??

have you got caps lock on?
- cucumbrrr0
I've tried it with caps lock on and off, but nothing seems to change.

Did you pirate your copy? This is a very common mis-feature of some of the pirated versions floating about..... buy it... it pays for itself in a month of work
- cucumbrrr0
Yea, it is pirated... But you're right I shold just buy it. I even have some extra cash this month, so I think I'll go out this evening and pick it up.

screw buying it. just burn a copy off someone who has it.
- cucumbrrr0
If you've got the cash, then why not?

wtf get some pride in your f'n career decision. Carpenters don't go to home depot and steal their saws, they earn them the same f'n way you should earn yours mate. Take out a loan, save some money, sell your body, whatever....

Or just erase it and re-install it. It used to work right?
- atomica0
Bleah, and this is why we're thought so lowly of.
- Soler0
carpenters have been known to rip people off who dont know any better. i dont think any designers can get away with that. I own my software now, but when you're young sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to get started
- atomica0
LOL and that thing is schooling, where you get academic copies for a very worthwhile rate....
- scarabin0
you think adobe makes their money by selling to individuals like yourself?
they make bank by selling to huge institutions like schools and studios.
if a hammer cost 900 fucking dollars, and they made the paltry sum designers do, you better believe they'd be stealing them from home depot.

scarabin has a point.
adobe's student copies are wack you can't even upgrade to the pro ones later
- scarabin0
pride has nothing to do with it. it's what you're able to afford at the moment.
if you need pirated software to launch your career and thus life, you're a wanker if you don't take the step to do it.
the adobe corp. can kiss my ass.
- atomica0
A hammer is equivalent to a pack of pencils or a cheap mouse mate..... a plasma welder does about the work photoshop does and it took me a while to come to the same realization.... but it's worth it. And yes, I know where they make their money but, they also lose when thousands of kids are running around saying their graphic designers charging 50 dollars a logo and pirating their software driving down the income of designers and the security of software developers jobs....
- scarabin0
so you're saying he should purchase a copy brecause you're afraid he's going to take your job?
ha ha.
- atomica0
Wanker. To start any business you should have overhead, and that means getting a loan and doing what it takes to get the money to afford your facilities..... that being software in our case.
- Soler0
yeah, heard that argument a million times. If a business is willing to take a wack ass 50 dollar no-experience lame designer logo than thats just job security. they'll have to do it right eventually to be succesful and have learned their lesson the next time
- Soler0
doesnt sound like the cat owns a business
and if you get audited at work you're screwed so yeah you got to buy it. but at home.....
- scarabin0
who says he's trying to start a company?
he could be a student trying to follow his dreams or get through school. or simply an artist.
if you're a company, yeah. buy a copy.
