How do I upgrade photoshop cs4 to cs5?

I currently have photoshop cs4. I would like to upgrade to cs5 (or cs6) in order to use a particular plug in. How does one do it? I cannot find a source where I can get a download.
Thanks for helping.
Vijay

The problem is that CS5 is not sold anymore, so you cannot get it from Adobe. At the rate Photoshop is counterfeited and hacked, you take your chances with Ebay and Craigslist. Even if someone sold you their copy, chances are they already upgraded on it and that would block you from CS6.
I can only recommend the Photography Plan, or you could talk to Adobe sales and see if they would allow you to upgrade to CS6 if you buy it from them.
Another idea is the Photography Plan. Latest Photoshop for $10 monthly.

  • 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    While you can buy a full license for (the now outdated) Photoshop CS6, your most cost effective alternative may be to consider the Creative Cloud "Photographer's Bundle" subscription...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 Photoshope CS4 to CS5

    Hi!
    We have Creative Suites CS4 installed on our PC and we need to upgrade to Photoshop CS5. Is it possible to upgrade only Photoshop or... we have to buy an upgrade for the entire Creative Suites ?
    Thanks !
    Christian

    Creative Suite 5 is no longer available from Adobe.  Please see the buying guide for Photoshop CS6 at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/buying-guide-upgrades.html.  It would be necessary for you to purchase an upgrade to a suite.

  • Upgraded Photoshop CS4 to CS5, but...

    After upgrading the program, is it okay to remove CS4 or should I leave it in my computer?

    Okay, thanks.
    But, I do have one more problem. I installed the upgrade CS5 and no new program shows in my computer . When I go to the Add/Remove Program list of programs in my computer, the new CS5 shows, along with the CS4, but as I said, It doesn't show on my desktop or in my start menu guide. Do I just need to restart my computer?

    If you do not own a license for CS5 there is not much you can do to get it thru Adobe.  They only sell current versions of their software (CS6 or Creative Cloud).  You would need to find a third party vendor and take your chances with them.
    If you do own a CS5 license you can download the software thru the following page and use your serial number to activate:

  • How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing.

    How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing. I went through the process of clicking through the how to's and the troubleshooting and came to the conclusion that I need to install the adobe drive 5 but I can not complete the installation. I may be incorrect on this so I need immediate assistance as I have poster and ad deadlines. I also tried disabling the gatekeeper and solution 3 on the troubleshooting of slow saving on photoshop.
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Thank you!

    Are you attempting to save the file to a network location instead of your local hard drive? If so, this is probably why you are encountering an issue and why Adobe Drive would be the solution. As we've documented, it is a bad idea to open from or save directly to a network source: Networks, removable media | Photoshop | CS4 and later. Drive can help you get around this by setting up an Adobe supported virtual connection to the network. Thus, if installing Adobe Drive is the solution you need and your need help with installing Drive, please post to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
    If you are not saving to a network location, then Adobe Drive is not going to be the answer. Then we'll need to know more about the file you are saving.

    I have Photoshop CS4 and CS5 installed, CS4 also in x64 version.
    Also Acrobat Pro.
    I'd like to uninstall all Photoshop stuff only, i.e. not Acrobat.
    Before proceeding: will the uninstall also remove all the 'other' Photoshop matters?
    Bridge, Device Central etc.etc.
    Thanks!

  • Can I merge Photoshop CS6 with extended into Photoshop CS4 or CS5 will work together ?

    Can I merge Photoshop CS6 with extended into Photoshop CS4 or CS5 will work together ?

    Versions of Photoshop have different installation trees and user preferences.  You do not merge Photoshop versions. Each version is independent.  When you install newer versions of Photoshop the are options to migrate your presets and Preferences. You can start and use any version installed on your machine.  For the most part newer version of Photoshop are backwards compatible with older versions of Photoshop. However some changes  Adobe make to Photoshop change user interfaces and and the way Photoshop performs some functions these changes break some user actions, scripts and user work-flows.  In fact all the version you listed CS4, CS5 and CS6 have comparability issues.  In that respect Photoshop CC is not any better it has compatibility issues.  
    Newer versions of Photoshop have new functions and updated old function.  Older versions can not handle everything save by newer versions of Photoshop. If you save PSD and PSB files with the maximum compatibility option checked. Older version should be able to open you layer document with layers that look like what was saved though some layer may be altered and may even be a different layer kind then was saved. If you need to support older versions of Photoshop always use the maximum compatibility option.

  • 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

  • Photoshop cs4 and cs5 and after effects 7.0

    Hello my name is mel
    My question ! I'm working with photoshop cs4 and after effects 7.0 building a web page and this going to be my first page . I got the header in and the footer also,
    the main body is going to be this avi file. after effect project that I want to run when the page opens. I want to slice up and send to DW for coding . my question is how do you slice this page up and transport it to DW.cs5 and do you have to code the avi in html and css to run when the page is open. Because as now when you run the avi in photoshop nothing elese on the page works , just the avi runs when you turn off the avi then every thing is back normal .to run the avi you have go to the video part of psd and click on the start button . any idea or any suggestion how to proceded would help
    thanks

    we were told in design school to use ps to design your site   then transport to DW to code??
    Maybe I misunderstood you.... You do the graphics in PS, that's of course what everyone does and then you code in DW, but by all means, you do not operate on the atrocious code Save for Web would spit out from PS. Trying to fix it is more trouble than starting with a blank page in DW and inserting the background and otehr images manually. And you definitely misunderstand "animation" vs. "video" After Effects is just a means to turn animation into video just as Flash is a means of creating dynamically rendered animation or interactive content. Both have their uses, but without knowing what kind of animation or video you actually need to produce, this is going nowhere. It may turn out that all you need is an animated GIF, after all... Furthermore your AE 7 is dated and does not output good H.264 or FLV directly compared to more recent versions, so this opens up yet anotehr can of worms when it comes to producing good quality web video at small file sizes... In any case, you still require a lot of reading. Too complex a topic for which nobody can provide a tippy-toe tutorial and without understanding even some basic concepts, the most beautifully designed PS grafik will end up being nothing more than a useless lump of pixels on a web server...

  • ACR extremely slow after upgrade from CS4 to CS5

    After upgrading Photoshop and Bridge from 4.0 to 5.0 I can no longer edit photos in ACR (plugin v 6.3) because it now takes impractically long to refresh the image after most changes. For example, on the Basic pane if I change a setting such as Exposure, Brightness, etc. with a slider it takes about 5 seconds before I see the change to the image. Since CS4 is still on my computer if I load CS4 Bridge, open the same image in Camera Raw (plugin v 5.5) the same operation refreshes the image in about a half second. If I can't solve this problem I'll have to abandon CS5 and go back to CS4, which would be a shame. Any ideas?  Thank you!

    You shouldn't be running version 5.5  of the Camera Raw plug-in in CS4 either.  Update to ACR 5.7 ASAP.
    One should ALWAYS run the LATEST release of ACR for your version of Photoshop, no exceptions.  Each new release brings unheralded, unannounced and sometimes even unacknowledged bug fixes and improvements, beyond support for newer cameras.
    Staying with an older version just because your camera is already supported by it is a very<euphemism>unwise</euphemism> decision.
