Download PhotoShop 5.0.
This is a demo version of PhotoShop 5. I haven't seen this one, but I did run the demo of PS4. It was a fully operational copy of the program, perfect for students and people who aren't sure if this is the program they really need. The difference is, you can't save your work. (But of course Screen Capture still works.)

If you are already running the licensed version, DO NOT install the demo. I've heard more than a few people say they had to reinstall their licensed versions after loading the demos. Apparently Adobe demos install some kind of guard that knocks out your licensed product.
