Also, if I may give Greg some sage advice, there are less complicated ways to get rid of your girlfriend. Surely she will leave you when she hears that you want to buy a $600 piece of software with the intention of improving her looks.
well thank you guys, i would be commiting suicide if i showed her this thread, but i have coppied some examples to show her. I see the humor am not the one with a low self esteme so this is funny, but she wont see the humor in this. thanks for your help, i hope the good examples will convince her. I can get CS3 on my own, but without her blessing, it may prove to be much more expensive then the sticker price, sitting be her side thru countless chick flicks, talking to her about mindless tv shows, etc etc.

Greg, if you marry the girl you are going to do all those anyway...
Here's the line to close the deal...
"Honey, if I get Photoshop I'll also need to get a big thick book to learn how to use it. Hey, I could read it at the Mall while you are shopping!"

Hey Mike,
You're a very brave man to let the forum loose on a picture of your girlfriend. Thanks for being a good sport - if I get time later I'll do a sensible version that you can actually show her. In the meantime here are a few lines that I often use to get the green-light from my wife:
"This is it, this is the one, it's the last piece in the puzzle, it's what I've ben waiting for all these years"
"If we get _________ we can start earning real money..."
"Everyone else is going to get a ________ if we don't we're ******... "
"It's a real pain, without ________ all this rest of this kit is junk"
"If I can buy _______ it will open up so many opportunities, you wait and see"
But the killer line, as everyone will know is:
"If you loved me, you'd let me by it"
If none of those strategies work you can still buy Photoshop Elements.
ok I'll bite, why do you need to convince your gf that you NEED Photoshop? If you show her the picture out of the camera, she may think that SHE needs Photoshop.
My wife thinks that anything for photography that costs over fifty cents is a waste of money, so I just don't ask. Seriously, women don't like to think that retouching is necessary to make them look attractive, except for a little completion smoothing
