Additional copy of Photoshop CS6
Hi I bought Photoshop CS6 12 months ago for my desktop and now want a copy on my macbook air. How do I do this. I know i can have two copies and not use them at the same time etc.
Yes thanks but I don't use the subscription I just own CS 6. I won't be moving to subscription anytime soon

Purchased Retail copy of Photoshop CS6 but I have no Disc Drive.
I purchased a retail copy of Photoshop CS6 but I have no Disc Drive. Is there a way for me to install it from the Adobe site, then activate it with my Serial Number from the retail? I've already opened the box.
All links working fine here. I just downloaded Photoshop CS6 to my laptop.
If all else fails, try

What's the problem with Photoshop CS6? I only have this problem since i've updated my software.Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum, where you'll get more specialized help.
To help others help you, please reply and provide some additional details: Which operating system and software version are you using? If possible, include a screenshot of your problem. -
Can i install a copy of photoshop cs6 on my laptop
This year I downloaded Photoshop CS6 for my desktop and now want to add a copy to my laptop. Please tell me how to do this. Thanks.
Just install it the same way you did for the desktop. If you need to download the installation files, they can be found thru the following page.

Can't download purchased copy of photoshop cs6
I purchased Photoshop CS6 upgrade this evening and got the emailed receipt with the new serial number. When I went to download the new upgrade, there was nothing in my account order history for me to download.
If I signin to my account directly from www.adobe.com, there is no history of previous purchases nor my current purchase.
What now?That's odd. Did you go into the "My Orders" section of your account?
Perhaps you can try actually going into your Adobe account and registering the serial number you received.
Other than that, you can just go ahead and download the trial version and input your serial number there. -
I HAVE A MAC AND I PURCHASED A COPY OF PHOTOSHOP CS6 AND CANNOT FIND THE SERIAL NUMBER.
I PURCHASED A DVD OF PHOTOSHOP CS6 EXTENDED. THERE IS A STICKER ON THE BACK OF THE CARTON THAT BEGINS WITH: DVS/A. WHEN I ATTEMPT TO REGISTER THE PRODUCT, I ASSUMED THAT THIS IS THE SERIAL NUMBER BUT THE REGISTRATION APPLICATION DOES NOT ACCEPT ANY ALPHA CHARACTERS. IF THIS IS NOT THE SERIAL NUMBER, WHERE IS IT?
The serial number is a 24 digit number, on a card included inside the dvd case.
If not, see this:

How can I transfer or copy my Photoshop CS6 plug ins, actions and automate apps to Photoshop CC?
I just "upgraded" from Photoshop CS6 to Photoshop CC.
How do I get all my apps, plug ins, actions, automate apps, brushes, etc. from Photoshop CS6 onto/into the proper folders in Photoshop CC so I can use them in CC?
My OS is Mac OSX 10.7.5.
Thanks. VMS2Thanks, Chris.
By "apps", I meant things appearing under Automate, like Perfect Resize, Photomate, etc. All I know to call them is apps, since it sounds stupid to me to call them "automates". I should know, but I don't remember the nomenclature for them.
I guess I have to find the software producer names and go to their tech help, do I not?
Thanks. VMS2 -
The title pretty much says it all. I've downloaded and installed Adobe Photoshop CS6 and have entered the serial number I was provided at the time of purchase but am receiving an error message that reads "The serial number you entered is invalid. Please try again. If the problem persists, contact Customer Support."
Ugh. Y'know what? Nevermind. Turns out that I'd actually purchase Photoshop CS5. I'm marking this issue as resolved.
-
I have tried everything! getting frustrated
The installation files for CS6 and older versions can be found at Other downloads.
If you have migrated/copied/transferred your applications from one computer to another then it could cause any serial number entered to be seen as invalid. I would recommend using the uninstaller appropriate for your operating system and then reinstalling. -
Photoshop CS6 Layer via Copy Question
Hi,
I've noticed that when a selection is Layer via Copyed in Photoshop CS6, it appears brighter and slightly more saturated in color than the original selection it came from. Currently I manually make lighting and color adjustments to match it back to the original, but is there a way to prevent this altogether? There are no masks or adjustment layers or any other tools being used when this happens -- just a simple Layer via Copy.
I'm not sure if there is a setting that will help cut out that time consuming manual step of retouching to match the original selection, but any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!There shouldn't be any difference if it's just layer via copy in the same document.
What operating system are you using?
Is photoshop cs6 up to date?

Photoshop CS6 won't launch and when it does it's really slow...help?
Hi,
So my copy of Photoshop CS6 sometimes won't launch and when it does manage to launch fully, it's really slow. I mean ridiculously slow. The only times when I can get it to run even remotely quick is if I shut down my computer, and then restart it and then start up Photoshop CS6 as the first program. Even then it slows down after a while. (And I only have a firefox browser open usually, never more than a couple of tabs at once, so it's not a bandwidth issue)
Here are my comp specs:
Samsung
Processor:
AMD A6-3420M APU with
Radeon (Tm) HD graphics 1.50 ghz
Installed Memory (RAM) - 4.00 (3.48 usable)
64 Bit operating System running on Windows 7 home premium, service pack 1
I also did just recently install the new update Adobe had for Photoshop, so that's up to date.
It's getting really frustrating! I have another program I'm using in the meantime (Paint tool Sai), but I'd really like to use Photoshop CS6.....
Any help would be greatly appreciated!Make sure you updated the drivers from AMD's website, not Microsoft.
Make sure you are running the 64 bit version of Photoshop, not 32 bit.
Disable all third party plugins, and try disabling system utilities (we've seen font managers, antivirus, disk backup software, etc. cause slowdowns due to bugs in those utilities). -
Unable to start Photoshop CS6 - could not open a scratch file because the file is locked (Windows)
When I first installed Adobe Photoshop CS6 I was unable to run Photoshop or Bridge CS6. Photoshop would give me an error about "could not open a scratch file because the file is locked. If I ran either of these programs as an administrator they would run without issue, this led me to believe that there was a permission issue somewhere. After some digging I found out the both Bridge and Photoshop try to create a temp file (similiar to Photoshop Temp2777223910092) on the c:\ drive of the computer. In my case the user that I was logged in with did not have access to write to the root of the C:\ drive. Note that you run the program as the administrator and change the scratch disk location as that changes the preference for the administrator user and not the user that you are currently logged in as.
To get around this issue I first had to give the user that I was logged on with write permissions to the root of the C:\ drive. Next try and run Photoshop, you will get an error another error about the scratch disk and about and invalid or missing setting file. To correct this you need to have run Photoshop as an administrator, next you can go to Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings and copy Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs and/or Adobe Photoshop X64 CS6 Prefs to Users\<your logged in username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings.
Photoshop and bridge should now start up with no issues.
I hope that this can help others out there as this caused me a great deal of frustration when upgrading to CS6.station_two wrote:
OK, here comes the explanation of what the scratch disk does and why it's optimal to have it on a physically separate internal drive (not partition!) other than your boot drive
I probably shouldn't say anything since it could complicate this thread, but the rules of thumb can be different under special circumstances when SSD is involved.
IF you have a LOT of empty space on your SSD-based system drive, then Photoshop can actually work great with it's scratch setting pointed at the system drive. This is because a) SSD transfers are much faster than spinning hard drives and b) there's no seek time, so simultaneous transfers to/from scratch and swap files aren't devastating to performance, and you can see a net gain because of the increased I/O throughput over what's possible using a separate spinning drive for scratch.
But if you don't have a huge amount of free space (hundreds of GB) on the system SSD, it's definitely better to use a separate drive, as station_two has said.
Also, up to about a year or so ago, you had to try to severely limit write activity to your SSD drive, since you could actually wear them out by repeated high data write activity. That's pretty much a non-issue now with the advent of things like the SandForce in-drive controller that does wear-leveling inside the drive. Modern drives will last 10 years or more in normal typical use, without special consideration.
As it turns out, making a RAID array of SSDs is a great way to boost performance across the board, have bunches of free space, and ensure even the heaviest usage doesn't shorten the drive life. I have done so, creating a 2 TB system drive C: made from 4 SSDs and Photoshop's swap file (and pretty much everything else) pointed to C:. This system flies, and I can barely tell when Photoshop and/or Windows "goes virtual" and starts using its scratch/swap files heavily. I don't even notice Photoshop auto-saves.
Sorry for the SSD diversion.
Back on topic:
Pretty much everyone who's successfully using a computer - Mac and PC users alike - comes to realize after a while that the task of integrating things on their computers and making everything work falls on THEM, not the developers of applications like Adobe. Some applications pose unique challenges, but to think you can just throw up your hands and try to make it someone else's problem when something goes wrong simply isn't a viable strategy. Maybe that's how things should be, but it's not how it is.
For those of you struggling to get Photoshop to run properly, bear in mind that it's on you to get things working. It works for most folks. It could be a configuration or setup choice you've made that may need revisiting, or some kind of restorative activity that you need to do, or even something very minor like clearing your Photoshop preferences, but it may well take your learning new things and doing things you didn't think you'd have to do to get back to where you can edit photos. It's no one's problem but your own.
So let us here on the forum help you - when we say to do something, try it. We're not here to jerk you around; we're users just like you who have already found the ways to make things work, and we'd like to help you do the same.

Photoshop cs6.app won't run on this type of Mac
I have been running Photoshop CS5 Extended on my Mac for some time without any problems. I have just purchased a copy of Photoshop CS6 Extended, it seems to have installed correctly, but when I try to run it, I get the following message:
"You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop cs6.app because it is not supported on this type of Mac"
I am trying to run the application on an Apple MacBook running OS X v10.6.8, it has an Intel 2Ghz Core Duo processor, 1Gb memory.
Does anyone know if this is a fault with the application or if it is just not compatible with my Mac as it is suggesting. Is there anything I can do to get it to run other than buying a new Mac?Hello!
The core duo is a 32bits processor. Photoshop CS6 is 64bits only on a Mac, so you need at least a Core2Duo processor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core
Do post the contents of help>system info...from CS5. (remove your serial)
It is always good to test the trial before purchasing something.
Do contact Customer Service ASAP! -
Photoshop CS6 Installer failed to initialise?
I have just bought a student copy of Photoshop CS6 Extended, and whenever I try to install it I get the message - ' Installer failed to initialise'.
I am running OSX Mountain Lion, on a 2012 Macbook Air. I have tried installing on a new user, as well as using the Adobe Support Advisor (No Problems detected) - I have also tried using the 'Creative Suite Cleaner Tool' to remove any old things. It still doesn't work. I don't have any other Adobe Programs currently installed.
I couldn't find any helpful advice in the other forum posts so I made my own.I have the same issue. Also running mountain lion.
this is the PDApp.log
i have tried changing permissions as seen from another post but nothing seems to be working.

I have Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium (Teacher and Student Edition). I've purchased the upgrade to Adobe Photoshop CS6 - Trying to install, and it says the Adobe CS6 is valid - but only provides 'photoshop' options for entering my old serial number, rather than the adobe creative suite. How do I move past this so I can download it on my computer. I don't want to upgrade to Adobe Creative Suite 6 - as I do not need all the programs, just photoshop. From looking online, I read forums that said this was possible. Please advise
I don't want to upgrade to Adobe Creative Suite 6 - as I do not need all the programs, just photoshop.
Unfortunately that option is not possible.
You cannot upgrade a Creative Suite to a standalone product.
Creative Suites can only be upgrades to other Creative Suites.
You'll need to return Photoshop CS6 upgrade since you cannot use it.
Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order
Some options:
Buy a Creative Suite upgrade, or
Buy a full new copy of Photoshop CS6, or
Join the Cloud
