Is Photoshop CS5 compatible with Windows 8?

My computer died and I have to buy a new one which will probably come with Windows 8. Is Photoshop CS5 compatible with Windows 8? I can't seem to find a straight answer.

It is not officially supported as the OS was not available with CS5 was written.  It will work on it however.
From what I have read Win 8 is a step down from Win 7 from a purely operational view.  It also has an annoying problem with the screen blinking with many of the video cards.  So see if you really like the features of Win8 before committing.  Win7 should still be available but you would have to make it a special request.

  • Is Dreamweaver cs5 compatible with Windows 8

    Not Dreamweaver cs5.5, but cs5. Is it fully compatible with Windows 8?  It works with Windows 7.

    I think it would make good sense.  I hesitate to buy their products because I feel I am going to be left high and dry when the next operating system comes out.  Every time my PC fails or is retired it is a guessing game as to what still works.  Since software is so expensive, I find I am buying less and less – too risky.  I simply do without and do not expand my IT horizons.  It is a lot cheaper for the parent company to try it out and give a report than for every single user to take the plunge and potentially drown.  The customers can only find out by installing the product.  If it doesn’t work then there is the task of getting it off.  Generally the software does not come off completely and the residue can cause complications.  The companies could test until it stops working and then say that from this point back you will have to buy a new one.  It sure would build consumer confidence and end a lot of aggravation.

  • Photoshop CS5 compatibility with windows 7 and windows 8

    Hello,
    I do not understand the technical side of computers - I just use them for my work as a photographer
    I have Photoshop CS5 32 bit installed on my PC with Vista home premium. I am buying a new PC with 64 bit Windows 7 installed, and it also has the option to upgrade for free to Windows 8 pro.
    Will my CS5 work on windows 7 and if I take the free upgrade will it work on Windows 8 pro?
    Does it matter that CS5 is 32 bit and the new PC will be 64 bit?
    I don't want to get the free upgrade if it means my CS5 won't work on it, as I am happy wioth CS5 and do not need to upgrade to CS6 yet.
    Many thanks
    Tog Porter

    Photoshop CS5 is a 32/64 bit application, so when you install it on your new system it will install both 32 and 64 bit versions by default.  This will give you compatibility with your 32 bit plug-ins, as well as 64 bit capability to edit large documents.
    You may want to avoid the upgrade to Windows 8 at this time.  It's still immature and the drivers (e.g., for ATI video cards) leave something to be desired.  Plus, in general Windows 8 doesn't offer any compelling new features over Windows 7 (and actually removes some very useful one) - unless you really want the silly full-screen Metro/Modern games they offer at their new App Store.
    If you DO decide to install the Windows 8 upgrade, I recommend you take whatever steps are necessary to install the new system as a full, virgin installation, rather than trying to upgrade the Windows 7 system you already have installed - and by this I mean you should NOT take the "keep programs and settings" upgrade, but do a Custom installation and install Windows 8 as though on a blank disk.  Operating systems installed as upgrades to prior versions virtually never work right.
    In any case, after having run Photoshop on Windows 7 for a while, you'll want to DEactivate your Adobe software before making the transition (you can do this through the Help menu), then reactivate it after you're up on the new system.  This keeps control of your activation/licensing in your hand.
    I strongly suggest you read up on Windows 8 before deciding to upgrade.  You'll find a lot of experts agree that it's not an improvement over Windows 7, which is hard to imagine because all prior versions - even Vista - have been improvements over their predecessors.

  • Is Photoshop CS3 compatible with Windows 8

    I am planing to get a new computer with windows 8 and I am currently using Photoshop CS3 in a windows XP computer.  Do I need to get the upgrade to CS6 or can I get an update for CS3 to work on Windows 8?

    PS CS3 is not supported on Win 8. So, its best to upgrade to PS CS6 and use it flawlessly with Win 8.
