CS5 to CS6 workspaces migration

I tried to copy my workspaces from CS5 to CS6 by copying the workspace into  the Users/Neil/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS6 Settings/en_US/Workspaces folder. However, when I open AI CS6, the new workspaces are not listed. Is there another way to copy the workspaces?

Thanks for the information. It is no big deal to create them again, but I just thought I would ask.
I actually did blackline the XML file for one of my workspaces against the CS6 default, but it was quickly apparent that any hacking there was well beyond my meager skill.
Cheers.

  • CS5 to CS6 Extension migration question

    Okay, I'll admit I've been asleep for the last four months, I guess. I installed CS5 and have been using it since June on my Mac. I also installed CS6 and (so I believed) set it up identically to CS5.  This morning I went to set up a new site and on a base page I wanted to insert a few paragrapsh of Lorem Ipsum so  I clicked "Insert" and looked for David Powers' "Lorem and More" in the menu. Here's what I saw.
    Normally ( and in my CS5) it's at the bottom of the menu. So I checked my Commands menu.
    NONE of my KaosWeaver tools are there either. Now here's where it gets confusing. I opened extension Manager and here's what I see:
    So I guess what I don't get is, if I've installed all these extensiuons and EM (CS6) shows them as installed, AND enabled... where are they, and why can't I access them?

    Major league Duh!!!!
    I have a folder with all of my extensions in it. Inside are two subfolders - mxp and zxp. I installed everything from the zxp folder to EM CS6 ( or so I was certain). I uninstalled everything and reinstalled from the zxps, and eureka!!! My extensions are working in CS6 again. I could swear I installed the right ones the first time, because I went to the trouble of converting all of the mxps to zxp beforehand, and then installed right from there.

  • Migrating settings, actions, plug-ins etc. from CS5 to CS6 (Creative Cloud)

    Hi,
    I wondered if someone could help me with the transition from CS5 to CS6 (Creative Cloud). I'm on a Mac with Mountain Lion.
    I would like to migrate as many settings (i.e. workspaces where relevant), personal Photoshop actions, plug-ins (i.e. Type DNA, FontShop [Photoshop], Scriptographer [Illustrator] and Blurb Template Creator [InDesign]) as possible from CS5 to CS6. What is the easiest and smoothest way to do this?
    Some settings, actions and plug-ins might not work with CS6, I don't know. I can't find where my Photoshop actions are archived atm.
    Can I import extensions from Adobe Extension Manager CS5 to Adobe Extension Manager CS6?
    Should I uninstall all CS5 apps? I'd like to keep InDesign CS5 for backwards compatibility at least.
    Does Audition completely replace Soundbooth? What about Flash Catalyst, Device Central and OnLocation?
    Edit: I have already installed all the Creative Cloud applications btw. But I haven't uninstalled any CS5 apps yet.
    Thanks,
    Eivind

    Hi Elvind,
    I would suggest keeping both CS5 and CS6 versions on the system until you are fully transitioned, longer if you want. When you launch Photoshop CS6 it will ask you if you want to import settings from the prior version. Third party plug-ins may or may not be compatible between versions so you might need to check with the manufacturer to find out. You would most likely need to reinstall any third party plug-ins that integrate into existing Adobe product installations though.
    I found this document for Photoshop CS6
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preset-migration-photoshop-cs6.htm l
    For the PS actions, I normally open the actions panel, highlight the actions set (folder) I wanted to migrate, from the flyout menu of the panel choose the option to save the set, this creates the .atm file. There is another option for importing actions in the same menu.
    I can't speak to migrating in relation to the other products. I would recommend posting in the respective product forums.

  • 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
    jools

    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.

  • CS6 Workspace won't open correctly.

    I recently upgraded from CS5 to CS6 on my PC and now every time I launch CS6 and open any project, all the panels in the workspace just open on top of each other in the middle of the screen. None of the presets seem to work either. Has anyone experienced this? CS5 is still installed as well. Could this be the reason? Thanks for any solutions or suggestions. Mike.

    Try Reset Workspace.

  • How do I switch plugins from CS5 to CS6?

    How do i switch plugins from CS5 to CS6?

    Welcome to the forum Steven,
    Do you have specific ones you wish to migrate?
    I think with CS6 I believe the underlying architecture for plugins was changed, so you may wish to check with the makers to see if they have CS6 compatible update versions available.
    I think some had to be re-written under the new framework to be compatible under CS6.

  • Long-time Elements user who had planned for CS4, CS5 or CS6 on disk

    As a long-time Elements user who had planned to purchase Photoshop CS4, CS5 or CS6 right before the Cloud changed everything, why can't I get the cloud subscription for $9.99? This makes me want to just buy an older disk on EBay or elsewhere.

    why can't I get the cloud subscription for $9.99?
    Are you trying to subscribe to the Photoshop Photography Program (PS+LR)?
    That deal is available to anyone, regardless of whether you've purchased Adobe software in the past or not.
    What is preventing you from subscribing?

  • Cs5 or cs6 , can i use 2 monitors?

    Hi
    i'm under windows 7 and sometime xp
    i have 2 monitors
    can i use them with photoshop cs5 or cs6?
    for example have the image in the bigger monitor or camera raw in the bigger monitor
    and the tools in the smaller?
    or viveversa?
    thanks
    cheers

    Speaking of viewing a 'Vast expanse of horizon', reminds me of some of the Gamer's monitor setups I've seen on sites Tom's hardware. Six 30 inch Ultrasharps lined up side by side in portrait orientation.
      In fact I have just had a quick look round, and there some insane monitor ‘solutions’ out there!
    48 inch 2880 x 900 pixels from Alienware.
    Flight sim anyone?
    What amazes me is that software companies are actually investing serious money into coding games that make full use of OTT screen realestate, which suggests that there are enough people using such setups to make it worth their while.

    I can't get into the installation menu. The third CD does work correctly, i'm not sure about the second CD. Is it possible that the CD is broken? Like maybe there is one file missing or something I don't know.

  • Will Adobe develop a patch for pixelated CS6 workspace on retina display?

    Will Adobe develop a patch for pixelated CS6 workspace on retina display?

    You can believe what you like, but it won't change the truth.
    CS6 is a Cocoa application, and Retina support requires Carbon (or the other way around, I'm a Windows user). It's not a matter of adding a few lines of code to make the change, it required rewriting the entire program from the ground up.

    If you didn't have the opportunity to deactivate the installations then you should contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations for all the serial numbers involved.
    Chat support - For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...
    Make sure you are logged in to the Adobe site, have cookies enabled, clear your cookie cache.  If it continues to fail try using a different browser.

  • 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?
