CS4 Upgrade and Previous Versions of Photoshop

As a long-time Photoshop user, I have upgraded my versions of Photoshop over the years and currently have the CS4 Photoshop Upgrade loaded on my computer.  I have an older computer with limited hard drive space and am running out of room.  Is it necessary to keep all the previous versions of Photoshop on my computer's hard drive in order for the already-loaded on my computer CS4 Photoshop Upgrade to run?  In other words, can I remove the earlier versions (like Photoshop 4, Photoshop 6 Upgrade, Photoshop 7 Upgrade, and CS2 Photoshop Upgrade) and still have CS4 Photoshop Upgrade run ok?  I'm trying to clean up hard drive space and would like to make space by deleting the previous versions, but I don't want to mess up my CS4 Photoshop Upgrade if that program somehow ties into components from the previous upgrades.
Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Thanks for the response.  I currently have CS4 Photoshop Upgrade version already on my computer.  In addition to that, I also have on it Photoshop 4.0, Photoshop 5.5, Photoshop 6.0 Upgrade version, Photoshop 7.0 Upgrade version, and CS2 Photoshop Upgrade.  What I need to know is can I remove the earlier versions of Photoshop or will it negatively affect the operation of CS4 Photoshop Upgrade (since it's not the full version and only an upgrade of the upgrades installed earlier)?  (The only full version of Photoshop I have is Photoshop 4.0 -- everything after that was upgrade versions.)

    Only newer versions of ACR are.  All other bloat is not.
    I have all Photoshop versions of Photoshop from v.5.0.x through Photoshop 13.0.6 on my Macs.
    I find myself working in CS4 for most of my Photoshop editing, using CS6 13.0.6 only for the ACR to PSD conversion and whatever editing can be done in ACR.  Both versions run simultaneously on my desktop Mac Pro all the time.
    By all means do download the trial version.  I've been able to discard a whole bunch of upgrades that way in Illustrator, InDesign and Acrobat, as well as avoid buying Lightroom and all other Adobe applications.
    Adobe's trial versions are a wonderful feature and a much appreciated, rare courtesy by Adobe.

  • Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with CS3 and CS6 and get the same problem. Doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

    Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with both CS3 and CS6 on 10.8.2 and get the same problem. This doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

    this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
    tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
    just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

    The title implies "importing photos & videos from previous versions" and only deals with "Organizer".  It does not mention if regular "JPG" or other formats need to change.   It does not discuss if images have been moved from one location to another folder or directory.  It does not discuss any issues of previous versions or backward compatability of formats.

    One thing is for sure, and that is if the only page i visit is the Google homepage (not logged in) or this site (mozilla forum), the problem does not occur, ever. I can't make it happen.
    If i visit yahoo.com (not logged in) (or ighome.com, logged in), as examples, it happens every time.

  • Uninstalling previous versions of Photoshop and Lightroom

    I would like to uninstall previous versions of Photoshop and Lightroom in order to free up space.  What is the proper procedure for doing so?  Is it recommended to do?
    Mark Steele

    Is it recommended to do?
    It's not recommended nor is it not recomemnded. It's entirely your own decision. As Curt said, there are certain side effects, in addition to file associations also shared components possibly breaking down (PDF libraries), so if it's not that critical, leave them in place. otehrwise you may have to reinstall CS6 after you have removed the other versions.

  • How do I get my photos from a previous version of Photoshop Elements (6) into Photoshop Elements 12?

    How do I get my photos from a previous version of Photoshop Elements (6) into Photoshop Elements 12? Do I restore from a backup?  I have over 12,000 pics ( a good portion with multiple versions) and don't want to lose captions and metadata. Thank you in advance for your help.

    If this is on the same computer just install PSE 12. It should find your old catalog and upgrade it to PSE 12. If for some reason it doesn't, then go to file>manage catalogs, find your old catalog and tell PSE 12 to convert it.
    If this is a new computer, then yes, full backup and restore.

  • Disinstall previous versions of Photoshop Elements?

    Starting with Photoshop Elements 8 I always upgraded the software to now PE 11 (following the instructions, I never disinstalled the previous versions). When running, the program (both, organizer and editor) is incredibely slow. Looking at the computer task manager, I notice that all previous versions of Photoshop Elements are still running (starting from the version 8) - in fact, i never disinstalled them. Question 1: is it normal? how can I prevent this? Question 2: if I now disinstall the versions 8-10, do I lose any data from version 11? (e.g. catalog) Thanks.

    My guess is that what you are seeing in the task manager is the downloader for all versions. That should not explain any slowing down. Try going into the previous versions and disabling the automatic start of the downloader. Only the most recent downloader task should remain.
    Two reasons may explain the sluggishness : try disabling all autoanalyzing features in the Organizer - and using the 'optimize' option in the catalog manager. That may require some time, be patient.

  • Download previous version of photoshop?

    So the automatic update for Photoshop to CC 2014 disables my plug-ins as they're not compliant with Adobe's changes. OK, fine, though some notice would have been appreciated. Where can I download from the cloud and reinstall the previous version of Photoshop while developers scramble to get their plug ins compliant with the new version?

    Did you deinstall Photoshop CC 14.x?  The upgrade process doesn't do that - it should still be available to you.

  • FAQ: How do I restore a previous version of Photoshop Express?

    How do I restore a previous version of Photoshop Express?
    Case 1: You have updated Photoshop Express on your phone, but iTunes on your computer has the old version
    1. First, go to iTunes on your computer. In the "Apps" section, look for the Photoshop Express icon.
    2. Right click on the icon and go to "Get Info"
    3. Ensure that the version number reflects 2.7.2, if not, then proceed to Case 2.
    4. Next, delete Photoshop Express from your phone or tablet.
    5. Connect your device, then in iTunes, go to the device>"Apps" page.
    6. Scroll to find Photoshop Express and click "Install", then click sync.
    7. If you have made previous in-app purchases, open Photoshop Express and go to settings>Restore Purchases and enter your iTunes credentials
    Case 2: You have already updated Photoshop Express on your computer
    When iTunes updates an app on your computer, it automatically moves the old version to the trash. To retrieve it and install on your device, follow these steps
    1. Go to your trash and look for a file named something like "Photoshop Express 2.7.2.ipa" (depending on which version you had previously)
    1A. If you have already emptied your trash you may be able to find this in a machine backup.
    2. Move this file to your desktop to make it easy to find.
    3. Go to iTunes, and in the Library section select "Apps".
    4. Look for the Photoshop Express icon, right click and select "Delete".
    5. Now, take the version you moved from the trash and drag it into iTunes.
    6. Connect your device, then in iTunes, go to the device>"Apps" page.
    7. Scroll to find Photoshop Express and click "Install", then click sync.
    8. If you have made previous in-app purchases, open Photoshop Express and go to settings>Restore Purchases and enter your iTunes credentials

    iTunes only keeps one normal backup per iOS device. As you've found out, its an incremental backup in that only data that has changed is actually backed up or overwritten. You can view available backups under iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Any backups listed that are time/date stamped are backups from restore points. These backups are not overwritten. Do you maintain a backup of your computer data? If so, you might be able to retrieve a prior iPhone backup from your computer backup.

  • Can I reinstall previous version of photoshop without uninstalling new version?

    Can I reinstall previous version of photoshop without uninstalling new version?

    I have opened the CC PS CS6 and used the oil paint filter on a photo - no problem. I then opened the new CC Photoshop 2014 and edited a photo - no problem. When I downloaded the CS6 it did give me an additional CS6 Bridge. So far so good, but I will post if I encounter problems.

  • Difference between FCE 3.5 and previous version

    I was considering upgrading to FCE 3.5 from FCE 3.1. I don't have an Intel-mac and was wondering if there was much of a change in features between the new and previous version that warrants the purchase.
    As best I can tell, the difference seems to be more LiveType fonts/templates. But are there new features in FCE 3.5, beyond that? Marketing docs and chats with Genius Bar folks isn't clearing it up. For instance, the box says RT rendering but didn't the past version FCE HD 3 have that?
    I'm defiitely biased to buy, but don't want to buy a version because it's just univeral, when i'm not running a non-Intel mac. Is there a grid somewhere that charts the differences between the two version.

    Tom, could you clarify something about the new RT playback?
    With 3.0 you have to stop and change the picture quality from one of three presets - High, Medium and Low. (On the Low setting more effects can be played back instantly).
    Does the Dynamic RT just automatically jump around these three settings (choosing the best one) or is there an infinitely variable transition between the High and Low settings?
    Furthermore, can it choose a setting lower than the Low one (in 3.0) in order to show more effects instantaneously?
    In short, if I updated, would I be able to get more effects playing back than I can on my present equipment when it is in the Low setting? Or does Dynamic RT just switch automatically through the same 3 settings but give no extra playback performance?
    Ian.
    PS. Sorry for being so long-winded!

    Where is the download link for premiere elements 10 and previous versions?
    Also the search program doesn't find previous version downloads.
    Chat is completely busy and won't let me in.
    And I am not paying $39 for what is an Adobe issue.
    FAIL!
    Anyone know where I might find it?

    What I've always found strange though is that the downloads themselves come from Adobe's servers. Just seems weird that Adobe themselves won't provide the links!

  • Difference between SAP-CRM 2007 UI and previous version UI.

    hi,
    anyone knows the differences difference between SAP-CRM 2007 UI and previous version UI.
    anykind of links or files are helpful.
    regards.
    raman.

    Hi,
    actually quite a late response and I think all the rather technically focuses comments have already been given, incl. the link to a really good slide deck, that explains all the technical architecture details on what exactly we did.
    From an end user perspective some other statements on what we did:
    (1) From an information architecture and visualization perspective we acted based on feedback from our customers in the last years, which led to some restructuring of the screen, e.g. moving the navigation bar from the top area of the screen (horizontal) to the left hand side --> sounds simple but users tend to have problem seeing thing at the top of the screen. We also decided to arrange the information for e.g. an account or an opportunity not in a tab oriented format. Again usability tests in CRM had shown that users often find it hard to see and understand that tabs contain additional information. We now show the details in assignment blocks below the header information in a scrollable format. Vertical scrolling is a behavior of a screen that most users know from their internet experience. Those are just two exampels of what we did in this area
    (2) We also have put a large focus on well known web behaviors, like drag & drop and personalization in general, knowing that on the one hand side, no matter what standard UI we deliver, users tend to adapt it exactly based on their needs and wishes. So you will find really easy to understand personalization options everywhere in the new CRM Web Client UI. To achieve this we used lots of web 2.0 techologies that enable especially these easy interactive capabilitites.
    (3) Finally, and this relates directly to the arguments mentioned in (2) we focused as well on really easy UI configuration. Again, in every customer project user interface changes are made, to adapt the SAP default to the customers needs. here we invested a lot to make the 60-80% most common UI changes done in projects as easy as possible, that even non-technical people can generally do it (like Power users).
    Hope this clarifies some arguments what from the users point of view has been done and what the advantages are.
    When you follow the same link as mentioned by Nadine above, you can also find a presentation UI Concept, which explains all the details rather from a users perspective.
    Best regards and enjoy the new UI ..and every feedback is very much welcome, only with your feedback we can improve the solution even more.
    Ingo
