@RH...
Anna is right about the "educational" version (well, you're right too...). The way Adobe words the EULA is if you purchase PS as a "student" your version is EXACTLY like the "full retail" version (the splash screen is diff, as you mentioned...). The difference is "how" you can use anything you create in PS!! Adobe wants you to "learn" the app so they'll cut some slack on price while you're a student (or teacher). But they want their cut when you move into the "professional" field. What happens is, after graduation, you are "supposed to" convert your license (most do this when upgrading to a newer version) from the "ed" to "full". Often it's just a different upgrade price. If you read the fine print in the "educational" versions EULA you'll see you are not allowed to make money off your PS work (that would make you a professional and not a student)

i'll try and find the copy but i think that's what she was talking about...
