CS6 beta uninstall issues.

I'm running OS 10.6.8 SL on my mac and have enjoyed using CS6 beta but I'm receiving mulitiple error messages upon trying to uninstall. There are apparently some missing or corrupt files per the error messages. The error messages suggested using the creative suite cleaner tool or contacting support. It appears the cleaner tool suggested is for CS5 only. Any suggestions so I don't have to drag all the files into the trash? I realize that could mess up my system for any future adobe installs but I need to get this beta version off quickly before I purchase. Thanks in advance.

Ideally, folks could look at this as all they'd need:

Improper Photoshop CS6 beta uninstall prevents Photoshop CS6 release version install

I installed Photoshop CS6 beta on my Mac, OS 10.6.8. Once I purchased and went to install CS6, the installer informed me to uninstall the beta version of Photoshop, but didn't say how, or that there was a catch. I went and uninstalled Photoshop CS6 beta bny dragging it to the trash. OOPS! - now the release version won't install, and I can't find anyhting on the Adobe website other than private messages from Adobe employees to specific users with the same problem as to how to rectify the issue.
Aside from venting my frustration at a situation I (and others have found ourselves in that could have been prevented by a little better planning and installer design, I'd really appreciate help in rectifying this state of affairs. It looks from other Forum posts like there is a tool or procedure that cvan be used to make the install work. Thanks in advance -

Look for, download and run the CSClean Script from the Adobe site.

CS6 Beta Uninstall difficulties

Hi all, I have read all the associated forum posts and still have no answer.
My Photoshop CS6 BETA has updated and so I need to uninstall it before proceeding.
It is not listed in my add remove programs and I can not see it with my CCleaner either.
If I go to the directory there is no set up file nor uninstall file anywhere.
Please help.
I am using Windows 7 and Photoshop Beta version 13.0.0.0
Thank you

If it is not in the uninstall directory you will probalby have to use the Adobe Script Cleaner to remove it.

Dreamweaver CS4 having issues after installing PS CS6 Beta

Hi All,
I'm having issues with Dreamweaver CS4 after installing Photoshop CS6 Beta. I'm getting the follwing erros when trying to open any html file (see attached image).
Once I click OK, the file will open, also now; any copy and paste commands will not work. Anyone else experiencing any problems with other apps after installing this beta version?
Any help and feedback is much appreciated, thanks!

Re :Re: Dreamweaver CS4 having issues after installing PS CS6 Beta
Just a thought ...
This may help!
Uninstall the Beta Version of Photoshop CS6 now and then restart your computer and see if that works.
Open the CS4 programs and see if that fixed the problem and it is all working as it should again.
It is worth a try!
All the best.

FAQ: What are the known issues so far in Photoshop CS6 Beta

APPLICATION COEXISTENCE
Lightroom 4 Beta + Photoshop CS6 beta -- Editing the same video file simultanously in both applications may result in an error, crash, or blank (transparent) frames. You might see this Photoshop error: "Could not complete the Render Video command because of a problem with Adobe Media Encoder".
This will only be an issue with Lightroom 4 beta and Photoshop CS6 beta on the same system, editing the same video. The released versions will not have this issue.
Workaround: Upgrade to LR Release version (even if it's just the trial), or don't open the same file in both apps at the same time.
CS5 Help fails to launch after install of CS6
Workaround: Launch the stand alone "Adobe Help" application or reinstall CS5
CROP
Crop action shows wrong crop box.Playing an action with a crop step that has dialogs turned on results in a crop box that covers the entire canvas instead of the expected area.
Workaround: Ensure that the Crop Tool is selected before running the action or disable dialogs for the action.
FILTERS
(32bit OS only) Initial "Merge to HDR Pro" image display and result is black until settings are changed
Workaround: It will remain black until droplist in the "mode" line is selected, changed and activated, then action appears to be normal.
Bokeh color is different from preview after render at certain zoom levels on particular image patterns
Workaround: View image at 100%
Lighting effects bump map generates artifacts if an alpha channel bump map is used. The resulting preview and final image is artifacted across the gradiated areas of the alpha channel.
Workaround: Do not use a gradiated alpha channel as a bump map
Liquify will perform the filter and save to just part of the photo if you click cancel while it is "finishing processing" a large file.
LAYERS
If a vector layer has a center-aligned stroke combined with an inside-aligned layer style stroke, then that vector layer's stroke may not display correctly -- part of the vector layer stroke will disappear as the layer is moved around the image.
Workaround: Use the "Path Selection Tool" to move your vector around -- alternatively, Change the stroke alignment or remove underlying layers.
Dragging a selection box while layer filters are applied stops marquee selection from following cursor movement
Workaround: Even though the graphic of the selection marquee stops, the selection still happens. OR Turn off layer filtering before targeting the layers using a selection box
TYPE
Editing text attributes in the Character panel when the layer is locked can result in a crash
Workaround: Unlock your text layer prior to attribute adjustments in the Character panel
Setting the menu type>font>preview size to "huge" after opening a saved file caused photoshop to crash
Workaround: Uncheck Background save in Photoshop CS6
Style by example or definition not working as expected:
If any attribute in the Paragraph Panel is set and you create a new Paragraph Style, the new style is based on the default and the override is not cleared.
DRAWING AND PAINTING
Paint is offset with Grip Pen- if you select the Soft Low Density Airbrush Preset with Grip Pen paint with swicth facing right with a high tilt towards you the cursor shows the spray should be going up, but it sprays down.
3-D
Creating a video timeline and rendering video from two 3D layers may not include ground plane reflections
Workaround: Use mesh for ground plane instead of 3D engines construct, or duplicate the file and remove the keyframes
Creating a New background texture after changing lighting presets results in crash
Workaround: Create the New background texture prior to adjusting lighting presets
Unable to create a constraint on extruded object with Pillow Inflate setting applied. Further actions may result in Photoshop instability or crash.
Photoshop may crash when trying to align/distribute constraints from selections of two 3-D extruded objects
Photoshop may not always save a texture when you paint directly onto the 3d object using Paint on Target Texture setting.
Photoshop may crash when selecting a different panel filter after the focus has been on 2 fields in the environment flyout with IBL map present
Photoshop may crash after embedding a 3D layer into a layer group, creating a new 3d object in the group, and then closing the document.
When changing the color of the lines or points in the 3D scene cross section from the Properties panel, side b color overwrites the color in side A.
Program Error when adjusting fill value in Layers panel while in Lighting Effects workspace.
Workaround:You will have to use opacity slider instead of fill slider to pull back the lighting effect
PLUGINS
DUPLICATE PLUGINS CAUSE ISSUES ON MAC:
If you install duplicate plugins or point the additional plugins folder preferences to a duplicate set of plugins (such as, to an older version of Photoshop), then it is possible for odd Photoshop behavior, such as an inappropriate file extension to appear when saving files.
(example: while performing a "save as" to JPEG file type, the file format appears to change to .dcm)
In this case, there may be a duplicate "file formats" plugin that's populating the Save As file types list with duplicates of the same options.
If there are duplicate file format plugins installed, the Mac OS will remove the duplicates from the list, but you may still see the odd saving behavior.
Solution:
Remove the duplicate plugins.
If you are not sure if you have this issue, but are seeing odd behavior, you can check for duplicates by looking through the plugins listed in the Help > System Info dialog.
Bridge
Unable to Copy and Paste in File info in Bridge
Workaround: Typing info in Manually works, or copy and paste work in Photoshop's File Info dialog
Install
Adobe Setup Utility may quit, or error during install. You may see error: "Exit Code: 15"
Workaround: Create a folder named 'Templates' at "<Windows drive>:\Users\<current user login id>\AppData\Roaming\Micorsoft\Windows\"
Message saying trial of PS CS6 beta expired,Content coming soon, stay tuned.
Workaround: re-launch photoshop CS6 beta. This issue should not happen anymore

1. You can get full support for your camera by upgrading to Lightroom 4. But personally, I would wait for Lightroom 5 since it will be released shortly, probably within the next month. Lightroom 5 will work with Photoshop CS5. The only difference is that Lightroom will need to create a TIF or PSD file that contains all the changes you have made in Lightroom. That's not a big deal, in my opinion. That file has to be created at some point anyway whenever you use Photoshop.
2. Yes, Lightroom 4 will pass images back and forth between it and Photoshop.
3. The upgrade would not break Lightroom 3. It would essentially work the same as it does with your current setup.
4. If you purchase CS6 it is my understanding you will be allowed to use it indefinitely. This is not true of the Creative Cloud version. Support and updating for additional cameras will cease for CS6. Adobe has announced that they will make Camera Raw 8.1 so that it can be usable with CS6 as far as reading Lightroom adjustments. But any new controls will not be accessible.
5. So far, Adobe has indicated that they have no plans to making Lightroom a subscription-only offering.
You are asking your questions as though you are addressing Adobe directly. This is a User-to-user forum. I don't work for nor do I speak for Adobe. I am only giving you the information as I understand it. It seems to me that upgrading to Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5 is a "safe" choice. None of us, not even Adobe, really knows what the future will bring. Technology changes so quickly anymore that everything we are doing right now could be obsolete in a matter of a very short period of time. As Adobe changes their marketing strategies I think it will probably motivate some people to look elsewhere. I have Photoshop CS6 and I'm going to upgrade to Lightroom 5. Then I will have to wait and see what develops after that. At any rate, I have tools that I can use for the foreseeable future. If I have to change at some point then I will do so.

CS6 beta not showing in Win7 "Programs & Features"; Can't uninstall

Trying to uninstall PS CS6 beta - but it is not showing in Programs and Features. Have scanned the Registry and there ARE references to PS CS 6 there...
Is there any way to 'unhide' it or other way to remove the program?

CS6 Beta issues

On Win 7 x64:
I can no longer open anything from bridge or windows explorer into Photoshop CS5. That is crazy that the beta takes over my editing preferreces automaticaly w/o asking. How do I get them back?
Even though I have changed my scratch disk not to be my OS disk, I must run CS6 as administrator in order for it to run. So if you open anything from CS6 bridge into CS6 PS, it has issues with file protection for the the scratch files and I cannot do anything.
Where is the little image view PCT drop down box that is at the top of CS5 so that you can quickly set the image view to 100% or whatever? Why doesn't my mouse scoll wheel change the image viewing percent like it does in CS5? I cannot zoom in and out easily with CS6, this is a HUGE time slowdown. The default darkness is not good. I know that I can change that. But for photo editing, who would ever want that as a default? It should be a neutral gray.

I've got my scroll wheel working, so that is good! But how do I get the image size quick dropdown to appear. This is helpful for going to 100% easily.
See attached.
As far as Bridge goes, if I "Run As Administrator", it will run. If I do not, it bombs out right at startup. But why? I have the cache location pointing to a folder that any user can write to. This is crazy that I have to run as admin to run the program. Where is it trying write to that it does not have permission to?
Next, why does it take so much longer to open the same exact .psd file in CS6-beta as it does in CS5 (win7x64)? It takes 107 seconds to up a 38MB file in CS6 after the program is started. And I can get the same .psd file opened in CS5, including the time that it takes to start Photoshop, start my 3rd party apps such as all of my NIK programs, and open the file in like 11 seconds. I have 400-1000 MB files that I often use as book pages which include smart objects. I have not tried any of these large files yet. But if a 37MB file takes 107 seconds to load, I can see the larger files being a real nightmare.

CS6 beta slow refresh issue.

Hi all!
I'm finding the CS6 beta really rather slow in some ways. I have a picture with an original image layer, a greyscale layer on top of that and some adjustment layers on top of that. If I turn on an off the visibility of any of those upper layers in the layers palette the display refreshes in horizontal lines, chunk ***** chunk across the screen. Takes about two seconds to totally refresh. CS5.5 is instant. Are others seeing this issue? Some things seem much faster but this is a big enough irritation to maybe be a deal breaker in terms of upgrading. Is this something that is unique to me of are others seeing this too?

If the Catalyst package agrees to install it will work with your card. It will tell you if your card is not supported. I think the latest drivers support all Radeon HD 4000 series cards.
Your card is old enough and slow enough that you might want to consider upgrading to something modern to best be able to run state of the art grahics editing software.

I manually uninstalled Photoshop CS6 Beta, and now Photoshop CS6 won't install.

Before I read the FAQ on how to properly uninstall the Photoshop CS6 Beta, I uninstalled it manually (by dragging it into the Trash on Mac OS X), and now when installing the CS6 Master Collection, Photoshop appears with an [!] that says "a conflicting or prerelease version of Photoshop CS6 is present on this computer. This must be removed before the installation can continue." I've tried deleting every file I can find with "Photoshop" in it, but to no prevail. What can I do?

Uninstalling, then re-installing the CS6 beta trial on the same Mac 

My inquiry is really simple:
Can anybody authoritatively confirm that it is possible to uninstall the CS6 beta trial, then re-install it on the same Mac and it will continue to work as when you first installed it, before the uninstall.
That's all. Forget about any other version of any other software being installed or not.
This was not possible with previous trial versions, as the trial would expire instantly upon uninstalling it.
I'm starting a new thread to get away from any confusion.
Thank you.

Thank you again, Pete, and my thanks also to those who replied in my other thread.
I did in fact uninstall the CS6 beta, installed Ps 12.1 ("CS5") upgrade without having a previous version installed, updated ACR to 6.6 then successfully re-installed the CS6 beta. Everything is working fine.

Photoshop CS6 Beta | Vector Shapes selection issue

Hi there,
The issue is related to selecting vector shapes. Below I'm describing the difference between Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS6 and showing the actual issue.
Photoshop CS5
Vector shape have color area and vector mask visible - http://screencast.com/t/hVB2H7ceqp
Selecting the later do not affect the visibility of the actual shape - http://screencast.com/t/YkmJlsLRNX
Selecting the vector mask gives us the visual representation that mask is selected - http://screencast.com/t/Iq4P9Qgp9
Photoshop CS6 beta
Vector shape have a single icon - http://screencast.com/t/ptBpMRYup
When select the layer the vector mask is automatic selected too - http://screencast.com/t/dm1WjibiTZ
The Problems
This is frustrating because it is hard to set layer styles properly, the additional "stroke" that comes from the selected layer mask visuals mess the things up.
Also the shortcut of coppying the vector mask is also different.
I fould a way that solves the problem partially - http://screencast.com/t/CSKcTX3n, but after you select the actual vector path and points, it turns on automatically, which is frustrating again.
Hey guys, you've done wonderful job with CS6 really. Congrats you are trying to incorporate real vector shapes in photoshop, but selection of the shapes in illustrator and photoshop just can't be the same.
Please can you find a way to select vector shapes without selecting the actual vector mask too, this was perfectly developed in Photoshop CS5.
Thanks!
Regards,
SK

Thanks for the fast reply. All sorted out

Ivan,
Here's the post with instructions on moving or copying a shape path to another layer:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/979293
As for the current selection behavior, thanks for the feedback. I can definitely see how that would be annoying, especially if you are used to the previous shape layer workflow. I can't promise any changes for this release, but I will pass it along to the rest of the team and we'll keep it in mind for future releases.
Also, just to clarify some of the terminology, the path associated with the shape layer is called a shape path. It is no longer a separate mask, although it has much of the same behavior as the old content fill + vector mask shape layers.
[quote]Layer selection should be just that. The layers.[/quote]
I totally understand what you're saying, but in CS6 the path is part of the layer. It's not really comparable to any other layer types.
Anyway, I'm not trying to dismiss your feedback or anything -- just trying to help explain what our thinking was behind the changes. Hopefully we'll be able to keep refining the behavior of the new features in the future.

How can I uninstall the CS6 beta when there is no entry in W7 Programs & Features?

I checked the FAQs and found general instructions which presume there is an entry in W7 Programs & Features. There is no entry in my system, and I found no Uninstall app in any Adobe CS6 folder.
Should I just run the Cleanup tool? Thanks...

How do I uninstall CS6 beta?

I used the CS6 Beta last year and now can't install Photoshop CS6. I thought I had uninstalled it but there must be something left over. This happened to me when Adobe had a public Beta for CS 4 as well
