Can I run Photoshop CS6 Extended on an early 2009 iMac?

I'm running my early 2009 24" iMac on OS X Lion 10.7.5. It has a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 8 GB RAM, which all fit the requirements specified by Adobe. The display uses NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 512MB. Adobe lists an "OpenGL 2.0-capable system" as a requirement, but I can't tell if this iMac's GPU qualifies. Does anyone have experience running PS CS6 on a similarly configured machine?

You can install directly - you can actually no longer download Mavericks anyway. Make sure you have sufficient RAM (at least 4GB) and hard drive space.
You won't be able to run some older software like Office 2004 so check third-party applications before you upgrade. And make sure you have a backup, preferably using Time Machine.

  • How can I use Photoshop CS6 Extended for windows on an iMac?

    I had an HP computer but it broke. I have an iMac now and my questions is if there is a way I can change my product to be able to use it in my new computer. maybe I need to pay a difference or something like that... Help!!! 

    You need to call Adobe and have them transfer your license to a Mac version.  With the current subscription plan, you can use it on either Win or Mac.

  • Soda can design in Photoshop CS6 Extended problem

    Hello,
    I just did my design for a fake soda can in Photoshop CS6 Extended, which I was hoping to use as a 3D image later in my artwork. I measured a real soda can carefully, so I'm sure the size and the orientation of the image is right.  But when I try to go to 3D panel/Meshes/Soda to transfer my design to the soda can preset, it comes out less than half the size & oriented 90 degrees off. I tried to find ways to adjust it but it did not work at all. When I tried to apply the same design to a plain cylinder it came out OK. I tried to look online for the info how I could adjust the size and proportion of the image I would like to use in my 3D projects- but there no good information available.
    So- how can I  accurately adjust the size and the direction of the image/layer taken from a 2D Photoshop layer to 3D in PsCS6 Extended? Please help!
    Thanks,
    Maya

    Seems to me, if you follow what Steve said in that other thread, you're expected to rotate your design canvas 90 degrees CW before creating the mesh from the soda can preset.

  • I can't find Photoshop CS6 Extended on the adobe download manager, only the ordinary photoshop cs6.

    When i admit the trial download link of Photoshop CS6 extended on the website i'm reverted to the adobe download manager which doesn't have the extended version, only tghe normal one.
    And how about x64 versions? does the normal installation pack includes both platforms?

    All trials of PS are the Extended version. Only when you buy the product will the serial number determine Standard or Extended. Yes, it contains both 64bit and 32bit versions.

    I'm familar with PCs, this is my first Mac.  I guess the biggest problem i have is I'm familiar with iOS system and terminology.  ive tried to change the file name and creatinga file to install as well as changing folders to read and write, but what is the parent file????
    Does Adobe have tech support agents that i can grant remote access so they can fix this for me on the backend? I've had Norton do this for me on a PC, money is not an issue.

  • I'm trying to see if I can download Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Student and Teachers Edition to a Surface Microsoft Surface product, I have a RT Surface but if I can't do it with that one I will purchase another in the future

    The reason for purchasing the surface was so I could use photoshop away from my desktop but I'm not sure how many computers I can install the version I've got more than just on my desktop. And if I can't does anyone know if I can install the new photoshop (the one that's paid monthly)on the RT surface?

    Forget about it on an RT you need a Surface Pro that runs Real windows applications. When you get that Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links – Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools

  • Can I run Photoshop CS6 on a Hardrive?

    I am in college and share a computer, photoshop, with my roommate. This summer my roommate and her computer are leaving. Is it possible to load Photoshop onto an external hardrive so that I can use different computers? I know that some programs will work like this but some programs will not work like this.

    my intial guess is no. The installation must be linked to your own specific operating system. For example if you copy the photoshop installation folders from her c:drive onto an external drive, then plug that external drive into your computer, I think there's 0% chance that will work. Someone might know better, though..

  • Photoshop CS6 Extended Slow Load ("Measuring Memory...")

    Hi guys!
    Sorry English is not my native language.
    I am run Photoshop CS6 Extended 64-bit (from design premium) on Windows 7, 64-bit with 8GB RAM.
    When I first start PS, it looks like it freeze on the text "Measuring Memory". If I wait for about 30 seconds, it will eventually load and everything works fine. No issues with Save for Web or anything.
    I have read the other threads on this and tried all of these solutions:
    Checked my ram in memtest (15 passes, no error)
    Trash preferences and open again
    Un-install and re-install (tried twice)
    Updated PS to latest with Adobe Update
    Reboot machine
    This happen when I first run Windows, so lack of RAM is not the issue. I have no printers, other hard drive, or remote network drive attached to machine. Scratched disk is set to the boot disk (C:\)
    If it help, Illustrator CS6 and InDesign CS6 load normally.
    Do you have any suggestions to fix this? Thank you!
    Richard Montouchet

    Congratulations on having such a huge amount of memory that it takes 30 seconds to measure it all!    Just kidding - sorry.
    You've done all the things a reasonable person would do...  Some other things I might suggest are:
    1.  Check to ensure your display driver is up to date - go to the web site of the maker of your video card, not Microsoft. 
    2.  Try disabling the Use Graphics Processor setting in Edit - Preferences - Performance, and restart Photoshop.
    3.  Remove any 3rd party plug-ins (reinstall won't remove plug-ins, so I thought I'd mention it).
    4.  Check to see if you have the same behavior with the 32 bit Photoshop as the 64 bit Photoshop.
