CS5 upgrade from CS4 - plugins question

Hi -
can anyone refer me to a list of steps to move all of my plugins from CS4 to CS5 as part of the upgrade?
My plugins are:
Anthropics portrait pro 10
Image Trends - Fisheye hemi, pearly whites and shine-off
Nik Software - NIk sharpener, color efex, silver efex
onONE - mask pro 4
picture code - noise ninja
Power Retouche
Photo Frame 4
PhotoTools Pro 2.6
I don't really want to run both versions of photoshop... I've done that in the past and never once went back to the old once I upgraded... but open to advice there, too.
thanks,
tom

You used to be able to transfer them to the new version without reinstalling... is that not possible any longer????…
Read my previous post again:
You can only use those plug-ins in CS5 that have been upgraded by their particular software developer to run in 64 bits.
CS4 and earlier versions of Photoshop were 32-bit Carbon applications.  CS5 is Cocoa and runs in Snow Leopard in 64 bits.  You will need to get the updated 64-bit versions of your plug-ins from each of their developers.
Otherwise you'll need to run CS5 in 32 bits, with a corresponding loss in performance and any other consequences of running in 32 bits.

  • Upgrade from CS4 to CS5.5. did not go smoothly, now stuck at CS5 - how do I fix the installation?

    Hi There,
    I had a lot of issues upgrading from CS4 (Adobe Application Manager crashing, installer not opnening etc) but managed to get the installer to run by using the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to remove all traces of CS4.
    However, when the installer finished, it stated there were errors and now the installers won't run - nor can I run updates from the CS apps that did install.
    I've normally never had any issues upgrading, so am not sure why I had so many issues and the best way forward from here - Hoping I don't have to remove all the CS5 apps, use the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool again and start from the begining.
    I'm trying to install Master Collection CS5.5 on Mac OS 10.7.2
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Cheers
    Ben

    Have had to hang up as I was calling the US using a New Zealand Mobile while in Portugal (long story) - and the 11 minute wait time would've cost the same amount as the CS5.5 upgrade!
    I had to call the US because:
    The New Zealand support number listed on the Adobe site doesn't work
    New Zealand is not listed as a country Adobe suppoprt will call back from the "Schedule a callback" page
    What a joke.
    I used the Adobe Support Adviser app to analyze the install error log and it provided me with a very helpful link to a support page that states "You can ignore this error and launch the products you were installing."
    Unfortunately, nothing was installed.
    I need to do work while a long way from home and can't use/install any CS5 apps - does anyone know how to install CS5 in Lion?
    Cheers

  • MAC UPGRADE FROM CS4 STANDARD TO CS5 STANDARD OR EXTENDED

    Hello,
    I'm interested to find out how to MAC UPGRADE FROM CS4 STANDARD TO CS5 STANDARD OR EXTENDED. Its my intention to buy the upgrade not thru
    download, but purchasing the dvd's needed eventually used if necessary.
    Thank you

    No, forget it. Adobe only sells current versions. How would you even be able to buy a used upgrade that is tied to someone else's previous version? Makes no sense at all and is clearly a breach of the EULA - whoever may sell you this "upgrade" would have to include all his previous versions leading up to that point, making it a completely independent full license that has no relation whatsoever to your CS4. And you would still have to run the license transfer drill.

  • Keyboard shortcuts CS5 differ from CS4.

    Hello all,
    Im used to work on a mac, but in my new job i have to use both the PC and MAC. Now im used to CS4 and i just migrated to CS5. Now most shortcuts im used to dont work, wich is a real pain. I completely rely on them for i sometimes dont even know where to find them in the menus.
    Any advice?
    Thanks

    I have begun working in a school, helping students with shop illu and indy. They gave me a Dell, it will have to do. The students work on dell pc's or brand new macs, or on there own laptops. Most problems are solved, so i will remap the functions that need fixing. I would like to reply in the thread but im at home now and although im signed in, i cant respond, can only report abuse. I shall wander over to the photoshop section and ask there about my other questions.
    Thanks again all, for the quick response.

    Subject: Keyboard shortcuts CS5 differ from CS4.
    What brand of Laptop?
    This certainly does sound like the mapping problem I mentioned. You can fix all the shorcuts that use the enter key by making a new set and adding the numpad enter as a second option, but that isn't going to help with other shortcuts that use numpad keys (though the only ones that likely would affect are style shortcuts, for which the numlock must be on -- others you can use the regular keys for those functions and just change the habits you may have developed about the numpad keys).
    I'm not sure what's going on in Photoshop. You should probably ask over there if anyone knows of similar issues related to keyboard mappings. And just maybe you should try a different brand of laptop...

  • Upgrade from CS4 Extended Education to CS6

    Two questions here. I purchased the educational version of CS4 Extended back when I was in school. No longer in school, I wish to upgrade to CS6 non-educational. First question: Can I upgrade using my educational licence to a non-educational one? Second question: Can I upgrade from CS4 Extended to CS6 Standard? I have no need of the extras with Extended.
    Thanks.

    Yes and yes. refer to the buying guide on the product pages.

  • Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012?

    Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012?  I have not found the option to do so.

    My family owns and operates a non-franchise entertainment facility (miniature golf, laser tag, arcade, pizza, parties...).  I have a design background, so among the many things I do here I'm also able to create marketing materials and an online presence in-house which would be too expensive for us to outsource.  Over a five year period, that's given us a software cost of right at $1 per day since our CS3 license ran around $1800.  Our customers are the public, and the package we try to push for walk-in traffic costs $50 for four people.  In exchange, they get unlimited mini golf, a game of laser tag, and a large pizza.  Not a bad deal.  If we were to earn $1800 from that group of four every five years, assuming they spent $50 each visit, that'd bring them here close to two times every three months.  For our type of business in a city of 118,000 tight-fisted Germans, that's about right.
    What, are you trying make me feel GUILTY about being upset that Adobe's new strategy negatively affects my livelihood?
    As far as Adobe's policy change announcement goes, I have no idea how it was announced.  I DO know I was not sent an email notification, though they have my email address and record that I'm a CS3 owner.  Presumably it was announced somewhere on Adobe's website, and further disseminated through various digital and print trade publications.  I respect Adobe's right to not reverse its decision.  If our business decided to put a sign on the front doors (since we don't have contact info for all of our past customers) saying we'd closed that night at 5 PM instead of 11 PM as usual, we aren't obligated to let in latecomers.  But I'd also recognize their right to be mad at us for wasting their travel time.  What I WOULDN'T do is tell them it's THEIR fault for not being proactive and calling ahead to confirm the expectation that our hours are still the same as they've been for the last decade.  NOR would I be surprised if we didn't get their $50 that month.  These Germans tend to hold grudges.

  • Upgrade from CS4 to CS5 question

    Does anyone know whether PS CS4 purchased in North America can be upgraded with CS5 upgrade purchased in Europe ? Does not plan to come back to US anytime soon and would rather find any potential problems out before spending 200 euros on the upgrade...
    Thanks in advance...

    Already tried with no answer. Will try calling local distributor here tomorrow.
    Btw - question to support are re-directed based on a location in AdobeID - my question on a different issue a while ago was refused to be answered because PS was purchased in US and my question was sent to European support - I was provided with US phone numbers...

  • Upgrading from CS4 Design Standard to CS5.5 Design Standard

    Hopefully a simple question. I am currently running CS4 Design Standard and wish to upgrade to CS5.5 Design Standard. My version of CS4 itself was an upgrade from the full installation version software of CS2 (I managed to skip the CS3 stage using a previous Adobe upgrade deal). Am I right in thinking that although the CS4 was an upgrade package it is now my 'standard platform' so to speak, and therefore I can use upgrade software again to take me up to CS5.5? I have the serial number for the CS4 software.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    That is correct. Make sure you get the right upgrade…there are several.

  • Question about CS5 Upgrade from CS3

    Hi everyone,
    I have Adobe CS3 and want to upgrade to CS5.  I noticed Staples are selling the CS5 upgrade version for a decent price.
    But it doesn't state if it's for CS4 or CS3/CS2.  I contacted them, but they said they are both the same.... but I don't know if I can believe them.
    Is the upgrade version for CS4 and CS3/CS2 the same thing in retail outlets? (i.e. you can enter in a CS4, CS3, and CS2 serial number for the same disc or is there separate products for each previous version - i.e. CS4 upgrade is different than a CS3 upgrade?)
    I noticed when you buy it from the Adobe Store or even other sites like Newegg, they are marked as 'CS4 Upgrade' and 'CS3/CS2 Upgrade'... but on Staples its only 'Upgrade' and they told me it 'probably works for CS3 as well'.
    Link to product on Staples site:  http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=&webid=885931&affixedcode=WWhttp://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?webid=885938&CatIds=&AffixedCode=WW
    Your help is greatly appeciated!
    Thanks!
    J

    The upgrades are different in that they require different serial numbers for the upgrade. I don't believe you can use the CS 4 upgrade if you only have CS3. Call Customer Service to get an official response.

  • Upgrading from CS4 to CS5 Prod Premium

    Please excuse me if this has been discussed (although I only found one short thread relating to my question).
    I have received my upgrade version of CS5.5 (DVD version).
    I am currently running CS4.2.1 Do I have to deactivate my current version before I attempt the upgrade?
    My installation history started with Prem Pro CS4 then I upgraded to CS4 Prod Premium for the whole suite. My experience of upgrading at that time was stressed!!
    I had to go to online support and enter my Prem Pro serial number in with my Prod Premium serial number which produced a THIRD number - oh, the long winded nature of it all.... Meanwhile 24 hours later!
    So, is it now quite simple? But do I have to deactivate my current and operational version first?

    Absolutely amazing!
    Wow!! I must say my installation experience of CS5.5 was nothing like CS4. It took just 45 minutes - no hassle and once I entered my Adobe ID it didn't even ask for the old serial numbers.
    And now the best part. No more red line renders on my HDV timeline which was a real pain as I couldn't even play the timeline after I made adjustments. Now I get a playable yellow bar. This is going to save me hours of edit/render time.
    What a difference...
    And to Harm - yes, I don't regret.
    Happy Happy Happy

  • Third Party Plug-Ins have disappeared on upgrade from CS4 to CS5

    Hello Folks,
    I have recently upgraded from PS CS4 to CS5 and now, on looking through the Plug-Ins available fromthe Menu - Help - About Plug-In --, I see that my 3rd Party Plug-Ins (NOT the Plug-Ins which had previously been installed automatically by CS4 and are now no longer installed by CS5 as a matter of course), such as Akvis / Bokeh / Imagenomic and many others, are no longer shown.
    Has anyone else out there experienced the same problem due to this upgrade? If so, I would be grateful if someone could advise as to whether there is some solution readily available OR, is it a case of having to re-install the 3rd Party Plug-Ins one by one??
    This did not happen when I upgraded from CS3 to CS4 - all my 3rd Party Plug-Ins made that transition quite successfully.
    For information purposes, I am running Windows 7 Ultimate on a 32 bit system mode.
    Thank You,
    Geeborg.

    Yes it did.  You just don't remember having to deal with it.
    Photoshop does not ever install in the same folder as a prior version.  Thus CS5 will not see the plug-ins that have been installed in or under the Adobe Photoshop CS4\plug-ins folder.
    Thus you will need to install your plug-ins again, pointing them at the CS5 area.  Some (as mentioned above) may need to be upgraded.

  • Upgrading from CS4 to CS5.5 as student?

    Hi
    I have Creative Suite design premium for PC (CS4) and I want to upgrade it to CS5.5. I am a student as a graphic designer, but I can't find anything about buying upgrades as a student, only full products?
    How do I do this?

    That may depend on how long you plan remaining a student and whether you are ever going to upgrade again, I guess.... Yes, of course, in your situation the price difference wouldn't be that big, but otherwise there is no problem anywhere here - CS5.5 installs independently from CS4 and even student licenses may be used for the occasional commercial work...

  • How can I upgrade from CS4 to CS5/CS6?

    Hi, I really need to upgrade my Adobe suite from CS4 to CS5 or higher. From reading in this forum you are unable to do it, but those posts were from 2012. Wondering if this is still current and if anyone can help me? Do I need to buy the entire suite again from scratch? Surely not?
    I have a student version by the way.
    Thanks!

    You cannot upgrade from Photoshop CS4.  Those days are long past.
    While you can buy a full license for (the now outdated) Photoshop CS6, your most cost effective alternative may be to consider the Creative Cloud "Photographer's Bundle" subscription...

  • Upgrade from CS4 to CS5--what functions in CS4 do I lose?

    By grading from CS5 to CS4, what functions will I lose in CS4? I see that the "upgrade" button is greyed out in CS4. Anything else?

    Just to be clear (and I don't think I was originally)...the upgrade is from CS4 to CS5. I see that CS4 is still available and operating. I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't become "dead" after upgrading to CS5.
    Thanks for all the information and responses.
