Do I need a version of Adobe Photoshop before I buy Photoshop Illustrator?

This might be a silly question but I can't seem to find a solid answer.
I already have Photoshop Elements 10, but I don't have a version of CS.
Do I need to buy a CS version before illustrator?

You should not need to buy any software as a precedent to purchasing any other software.  THere might be some add-on features that you might need a supporting version for, but Illustrator should stand on its own.

    i have switched from PC to Mac how do i use my windows version  of adobe photoshop CS3 on my MAC?

    rebel1568,
    All Photoshop versions through CS6 came with platform-specific licenses, either Windows or PC.  You could get a cross-grade of platform swap at a nominal cost but not for older versions, only for whatever Photoshop versions was current at the time.
    CS3 is totally out of the upgrade or cross-grade loop.  You'd have to buy a new license for CS6 Mac or subscribe to Photoshop CC, as Trevor points out.
    Curt Y is correct in that CS2 will not run on current Mac-Intel machines.  You would need a used Mac G5 or G4 with a PowerPC (IBM) CPU, which have been obsolete since mid 2006.
    Of course, you could run your Windows  on your Mac if you installed and ran BootCamp or Parallells.

  • I am running a TRIAL VERSION of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended and Bridge does not open.  Help?

    I am running a TRIAL VERSION of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended on MAC and Bridge does not open.  It did open when I first downloaded it - but now a black question mark is over the BR icon and it does not open up.  Any ideas from anyone? 

    Hi Steve -
    I just thought it was interesting and helpful to me to learn that the icon for Bridge does not appear anywhere.  Not in Application Folder.  Not in the Finders Directory Files.  I see your point - if I could locate that icon - I'd be set by dragging it onto my DOCK and launching it from there. 
    So - I'm assuming I need to uninstall CS6.   Please list all the steps for me to uninstall so that I don't miss any CS6 files. 
    When I search in FINDER for CS6 uninstall- I see two icons -  red adobe "UNINSTALL ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS6" (both files are identical)  Under KIND they both say Alias - with two different dates they were last opened (in November - few minutes apart).  Is that what I use to uninstall completely all the files related to PS CS6 Extended as well as Bridge? 
    Do I need to DEACTIVATE ANYTHING ANYWHERE? 
    DOES ANYTHING NEED TO GO INTO TRASH. 
    I just want to make sure 'everything' related to CS6 Extended is off my computer and out of all the files.  In the event i want to re-install - naturally I don't want to run into any conflicting 'issues'.
    Do you think if I reinstall I will run into this same problem again (BR not launching)?  Is there anything I can do to prevent it?  I note on the forums - going a few years back - that there have been a lot of issues related to this same problem - even in other versions of the Creative Suite.  Is Adobe doing anything to rectify this problem for us Photoshop CS Suite lovers or is all their focus just going into CC? 
    Thank you so much for trying to help me resolve this issue.  It is very frustrating to have an Adobe product that is not completely functional.  Especially when the Creative Suites are so expensive.  I appreciate all the time you've put into this issue.

  • I need to upgrade a adobe photoshop cs4 extended package brought through a company. Is this possible?

    I need to upgrade an adobe photoshop cs4 extended package brought through a company. Is this possible?

    It depends what you need to upgrade to.  You probably cannot upgrade CS4 to a newer Creative Suite because it is most often no longer in the upgrade path.  Usually CS5 is the minimum in the path, and the only upgrade that you could get is for CS6 since Adobe does not sell older versions.
    If you would like to join the Creative Cloud then you should be able to upgrade to the special introductory plan they have for Creative Suite owners.

  • 3 versions of Adobe Photoshop on my computer Adobe PS (64 bit) and Adobe PS CC 2014 and Adobe PS CC

    I'm new to all of this CC business.  Can anyone tell me why there are 3 versions of Adobe Photoshop on my computer Adobe PS (64 bit) and Adobe PS CC 2014 and Adobe PS CC. Thanks,

    They are different versions and provided to offer a maximum level of compatibility in case anyone uses plug-ins or peripherals that may not be compatible with the latest 2014 version. Feel free to remove unneeded/ unwanted stuff if you don't fall into that category. Otherwise just leave everything in place - uninstalling and potential reinstalls could make more of a mess than freeing up a gigabyte on your harddrive may be worth...

    CC 2014 should be the latest version.  You can uninstall any others if you choose to.
