Do you mean using 320mb of RAM? I'm sure it's a very resource intensive program...though I don't have it myself.

This is very strange. Photoshop CS3 must use ~ 55-60 Mb RAM on startup.

Are your friend have a legal copy?

CS versions of Photoshop do use a lot of resources. CS is not necessary. If you look at Boxxi for example, he still uses Photoshop 5 and produces exceptional work with that. I use Photoshop 7 but have five and six also. New versions of photoshop have Bridging stuff and photosharing stuff and go adobe...blah...blah...all unnecessary stuff in my view. All I need an application like that to do is edit or build an image. PSP8 is the app I use most....fills my needs more than adequately and is not a resource hog.
