CS5 to CS6 PHOTOSHOP

Hi.
I work with CS5 Photoshop more than any other software within Adobe's suite. Just wondering if I can purchase an upgrade from CS5 to CS6. At the moment all I can find is purchasing the CS6 for the full price.
Thanks

  • Warning CS4 CS5 and CS6 Photoshop Action Users

    Adobe introduce the Adjustment Panel in CS4 and included two option that you should NEVER CHANGE from their default setting.  For if either or both are change from their default settings some actions that add adjustment layers will fail to work properly. They may or may not produce error pop-ups.
    I have been trying to get this fixed for a couple of years now.  The other day I received an e-mail from an Adobe programmer informing me that he had been assigned the task to fix the problems I've been having.  He included information he was considering.  It was clear he did not fully understand the problems and that keeping one of the options would make it impossible to maintain compatibility with previous versions of Photoshop.  I wrote two e-mails explaining the problems and a third detailing what the problems I saw with what was proposing.  He wrote back the all he wanted to do was to work on part of the problem not the whole problem. I wrote a fourth note but Adobe is back is stealth mode.
    The two options in the Adjustment Panel fly-out menu are:
    "Add Layer Mask by Default" checked by default.  This is how Photoshop always worked prior to CS4 there was never an option not to add one so nothing was ever recorded whether or not a layer mask was to be added they always were.  Changing this will make Photoshop not backward compatible.
    "Clip to Layer" not checked by default.  There has always been an option to clip adjustment layers to the previous layer. So when the option is used the action recorder records the option "With Clipping Mask" in the make adjustment layer step.  When the Adjustment Layer is not clipped the option "with Clipping Mask" is not recorded. In the past these recordings played back correctly and still do if the Adjustment Panel fly-out option "Clip to Layer" is not checked.  However if Adjustment Panel option is checked even though is was nit when the action was recorded for the option "With Clipping Mas" is not recorded Photoshop clips the layer because of the Adjustment Panel current Option setting. That could be fixed. The current option setting has no meaning in this context in fact the Adjustment panel may not have even been used to recode the Make Adjustment Layer step.
    Here is a link to a simple action recorded in CS6. It opens a new default size document add an Levels Adjustment Layer deletes the layer mask and then clips the adjustment layer to the previous layer.  The Action will play correctly in all versions of Photoshop prior to cs4.  It will fail in CS4, CS5 and CS6 if either or both of the Adjustments Panel fly-out options are changed from their default setting.  http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/CS6AdjLayer.atn

    Generally, you would have got the option to remove the old versions.  However, you can uninstall the old versions but you should do it from Windows Add/Remove modules in the Control Panel so that it doesn't remove the common files from your machine.
    If you are not constrained by disk space then the best thing is to leave the old programs on the system until you are familiar with the new features of the upgraded program.
    I have renmoved the old programs from my Windows 7 because I wasn't using them.  These days I use "Corel Paintshop Pro X5" and "Corel Draw Graphics Suite X6".
    Photoshop is for something I need to test for my colleagues who are not familiar with certain features in Corel so I tell them how to do it in PS CS6.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there an upgrade path from CS5 to CS6?

    Just purchased a D810 and need to upgrade CS5 to CS6 (and Camera Raw).  Is there such an upgrade path?  I can't locate much about this on the websites.

    Hi Bill,
    There is an upgrade path from CS5 to CS6 Photoshop.
    Refer to below link.

  • CS5 & CS6 (Photoshop and Bridge) file association fix ?

    My Win7 SP1 system is now runnging smoothly with Bridge CS5 properly invoking Photoshop PS5 and Bridge CS6 invoking Photoshop PS6.  Simply changing the File type associations in Bridge CS5 did not seem to work.  This was "solved" at 3AM last night while sipping a glass of Scotch - therefore it would be interesting if others would confirm my sleepy discovery:
    1. CS6 assigns all standard graphics files to be associated with CS6 and thus causes Bridge CS5 to invoke Photoshop PS6.  The objective is to have Bridge CS5 invoke PS5 at least for chosen file types.  Ensure neither CS5 nor CS6 is invoked.
    2. In the Win7 Start Menu search box, type "file association".
    3. Select the "Change the file type associated with a file extension".  This starts a window titled "Associate a file type or protocol with a specific program".
    4. All of the graphic files are assocated with CS6.   For those files you want to associate with Photoshop PS 5, click on the choses file extension (e.g. .cr2, .nef, .psd, etc) and click on the "Change Program" to associate the extension to Adobe Photoshop CS5.  (note.  this step seems to be a necessary operation since, when I simply modified the Bridge 5 file type associations, Bridge 5 did not honour the change).
    5. Start Bridge CS5. Choose "Edit -> Preferences -> File Type Associations".
    6. For each file type you wish opened in CS5, change the association from CS6: choose the "Browse" option and locate the CS5 version of Photoshop.exe".  This is probably in Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)/Photoshop.exe.  I happen to choose .cr2, nef, and .psd.  Click on OK to complete the association.
    At this point, you can invoke Bridge 5 and it will properly invoke PS 5.  If you invoke Bridge 6, it will invoke PS6.  If you use file manager to invoke one of your selected file extension types, it will start Bridge PS 5. Other graphic files will start PS 6.
    If you wish, you can go back and reassociate the chosen types to CS 6 - but your Bridge 5 will still invoke PS5 for your chosen extensions since the Bridge-assigned file associations takes priority over the windows default programme.

    Great summary!  I will amend the association FAQ

  • Photoshop CS5 and CS6 does not start. Windows 7

    I am using Photoshop CS5 as well as CS6, 64-bit on Windows 7. Since the last few days, I noticed that Photoshop would take a very long time to start (earlier it used to start within few seconds). Today, I found that both the Photoshop versions do not start at all. Nothing happens when I click the short-cut on the Task Bar. Neither do they start through the Start Menu. Why does this happen and what is the solution?

    Have you tried using the task manager to see if Photoshop is hung and look at your windows reliability history to see if Photoshop CS5 an CS6 are crashing?

  • Can you export a SWF in photoshop CS5 or CS6?

    I have a client that has provided me SWF files that swear were exported from Photoshop, I know that this could be done in earlier versions. if so then how can this be done in CS5 or CS6. I have access to both.

    To my knowledge, the ability to export as .swf was removed after CS3. Do you know what version of Photoshop your client was using?

  • Open Photoshop CS5 and CS6

    I can't open Photoshop CS5 and CS6 versions simultaneously. When I launch CS6, and then CS5, it takes me to CS6, and vice versa.
    Is it possible to keep open the two versions? With Indesign I can do it.

    As far as I know that is normal behavior:  only one instance of Photoshop at a time.   Forum members have reported running two versions of Photoshop simultaneously using virtual machines on their computer (which emulate separate computers).

  • Photoshop CS5 to CS6 possible ?

    Hi All
    I have Photoshop CS5 and Im looking to upgrade to CS6 is this possible and any idea's how and how much ?
    I'd love to migrate to the cloud but unfortunately living in a rural place with limited broadband services makes this pretty much impossible ... and hard to find 'traditional' software to buy these days !
    thanks

    Yes Adobe still markets CS6 and you can upgrade from CS5 to CS6 $200 for standard $400 for extended.  However the Adobe Web site is designed to  push a $50 a mounth subscription on you. So when you got to the correct page Creative Suite 6 to upgrade to CS6 you need to click Buy then ignore the pushed subscription default use the pull-down menu to change full to upgrade then use its select button not the default subscription push select button. View the screen capture in a new tab or window this site scale images poorly. In a new tab or window you can scale the image full size.

  • Want to download photoshop cs5 to cs6 mac upgrade

    HELP, is cs6 photoshop for mac upgrade from cs5 still available?

    To Camelia and Ned,
    Don't know who you are or who you're with, sorry to have caused trouble. But, the problem is with Adobe. Either they offer an upgrade or they don't. It is very convoluted and frustrating on the website, they owe users more!!!!!! I followed THEIR links to this forum and posted my question. I would think that if you are with Adobe at least you would provide a link rather than angry criticism.

  • To Install LR on a second cp do I need to download LR3 then LR5 or can I go right to LR5 also Photoshop cs5 to cs6 extended and Indesign.These are allready purchase in my Personal Manager History?

    Hi Kenton,
    Adding to what James mentioned, this stands true for both Lightroom and Photoshop. In other words, you don't need to necessarily install the previous versions but while installing the latest versions, in this case Lightroom 5 & PS CS6, you will need the serial keys for previous versions as well along with the current ones.

  • ATI Radeon 7000 series and Photoshop CS5 and CS6

    Interesting to note, Running windows 7 64bit I have bought a new graphics card, it is an ATI Radeon HD7900 bought to run Photoshop CS5 and 6 unfortunately the graphics card is not displayed in the photoshop prefrences, I checked the list of cards supported by Adobe and the Radeon 7000 series was listed.....I rang Adobe who states that the HD7000 is not supported, so until (if ever ) it is I cannot use the full functionality of Photoshop CS5 extended. I'm not sure if all the Radeon HD cards are supported or not, but maybe check before you invest in a new card.

    The Radeon 7000 series cards should work fine with both CS5 and CS6, but as Steve noted there is a problem with the current drivers for the card.  Until the 12.7 driver is released next month, I'd suggest using the following driver:
    http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst126beta.aspx
    Use the control panel on your system to completely uninstall your current driver before installing the 12.6 beta driver.  Please let us know if the beta driver resolves the issues you're seeing.
    Thanks,

  • ¿Abrir Photoshop CS5 y CS6 a la vez?

    Pues eso, teniendo instalada las dos versiones de Photoshop citadas en el título, CS5 y CS6, ¿hay alguna forma de abrir y mantener abiertos 'dos Photoshop' a la vez? Porque, por ejemplo, cuando tengo abierto Photoshop CS5 y abro la versión CS6, me lleva a la que tengo abierta (CS5).
    Saludos y gracias por adelantado.

    Una cosa es una respuesta con fundamento, como la de Federico Platón, y otra muy distinta la que tú realizaste; que ni es respuesta ni es ná; no pretendas compararla, por favor.
    Además, no sé qué pretendes respondiendo con ese tono, si hacerte el gracioso, el listillo, o (lo que creo) el infantil. Este es un foro de ayuda, al igual que el hilo en el que estoy escribiendo, y si no se puede aportar nada, se pasa a otro y punto. Esto es así.
    Claro que como en casi todos los sitios web de este estilo, en los que se 'recomensa' por primeras respuestas (independientemente de su calidad) y por tener mayor cantidad de respuestas (todo para conseguir un 'status' virtual) pues irremediablemente eso da paso a respuestas pobres y carentes de sentido, como se puede ver, por ejemplo, en Yahoo Respuestas. No siempre las formas de incentivar la ayuda son buenas, pero bueno, es una reflexión que no sé si viene al caso.
    Un saludo.
    (Ah, desde el día 12, la pregunta está solucionada.)
