I have Photoshop 6, upgrade CS2, upgrade CS5, can I uninstall CS2?

I originally bought Photoshop 6, upgraded to CS2, and upgraded that to CS5. I don't ever use CS2 and I don't see any reason to keep it. My question is, will uninstalling CS2 adversely affect Photoshop 6 or CS5 in any way? I am wondering if CS2 has to be there for CS5 to run, or if uninstalling CS2 will change or uninstall any Photoshop 6 or CS5 settings.

On Windows, at least, uninstalling one version of Photoshop has been said to goof up file association settings (I can't say because I still have all the versions installed, myself). 
If that happens to you, check back here; I'm pretty sure there are posts that can be turned up with a search that will describe how to straighten that out.

  • I have Photoshop 5.0 Limited Edition.  Can I upgrade this to a more current version for free? If so, how?

    Hi
    I have loaded photoshop version 5 onto my computer in order to view a psd file, but the file is from a more up to date version and contains incompatible material.  Can I update the version 5 copy I have to a more current version so the file would work?
    Would this just be a question of downloading something online or would I have to pay to upgrade?
    I did try to look at the adobe upgrade section but it all seemed meant for more current versions than mine
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Are you being serious?
    What you can do is avail yourself of the free 30 day trial period of a more current version, though.

    Apparently it's related to the Firefox plug in.
    This isn't exactly a solution but more of a way to avoid opening PDFs with Firefox's plug in.
    1. Highlight "Tools" from the Menu Bar in the top left of the screen (or click "Options" if using the Firefox Compact Menu)
    2. Select to "Options
    3. Select "Applications"
    4. Look for "Adobe Acrobat Document" under Content Type and to the right under Action select "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the using Adobe Acrobat in Firefox
    5. Open a test PDF. It should open in it's own window now.
    Again, not a complete solution but something that'll at least let you scroll with PDFs open.

    It is not compatible with Windows 7.  Advice could include telling you to purchase the latest version.  The other option would be to buy an old computer that is capable of running it.

  • Upgraded to CS5, can we uninstall CS4?

    Hello, just installed CS5 upgrade and assumed it would replace CS4 on our system.  It appears to have installed as a completely new program and left the original CS4 installation in place.
    Q. Can we uninstall the CS4 version to reclaim some HDD space?  CS5 seems to be working fine?
    The screen shot belows shows the programs listed on the 'start' menu.
    edit: We received the upgrade disk from Adobe as we had purchased CS4 after CS5 was announced for release.  Both program disks have different serial numbers.

    Update for others who may read this....
    There is one "ill-effect" that we have since discovered which relates to LR3.
    We installed LR3 after CS5 and later removed the previous installation of CS4.  This action removes a key in the registry which makes the "Edit in Photoshop" option greyed out on the menu bar.
    The solution was eventually found here:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401629.html
    We chose to have a go at the registry edit, but apparently re-installing CS5 will replace the key also, (this option may be tedious for those who have installed lots of plug-ins?).

  • ITunes/Quicktime 7.3 upgrade error - can't uninstall previous version..?

    While trying to install the new version of iTunes and Quicktime, I get an error while installing:
    I checked the folder, and the iTunes.msi file is definitely there.
    When I quit the installer, it said to try the Tools > Download Only option in the apple update software. I did it, and opened the iTunes.msi file, and got the same error.
    I also tried uninstalling iTunes from Add/Remove Programs, but the same box in the picture above pops up.
    Any suggestions?
    iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation   Windows XP   Service Pack 2. Custom built PC. MB: Chaintech 7VJL APOJEE. Chipset: VIA KT333

    With those ones try the following procedure:
    first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
    next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:

    now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

    Hi didi66,
    Are you able to post a screenshot of this issues, if you can I'd be more than happy to help.
    To take a screenshot:
         Hold the Home button and press the Sleep button at the same time.
         Your screen will flash white and then a screenshot will be added to the Photos app
    Upload a screenshot and I'll see what I can do.

  • I have photoshop CS2 on a mac 10.6.8 OS. I want to upgrade to Yosemite OS (10.10). Will photoshop work on the new OS? Is there an upgrade available if needed?        toshop keep working? Can I reload it  if needed?

    I have photoshop CS2 on a mac 10.6.8 OS. I want to upgrade to Yosemite OS (10.10). Will photoshop work on the new OS? Is there an upgrade available if needed?    Can I reload it  if needed?

    Photoshop was the last version compiled for the PPC cpu, not Intel. 10.6.8 kept it going with the Rosetta emulator, gone since 10.7.
    So, no CS2 won't work under 10.10
    CS6 (permanent license) or Lightroom and Photoshop | Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plan is the way to go.

  • I currently have Photoshop CS5 standard, and want to updgrade to CS5 Extended to get the 3D capabilities.  Is this possible, I don't see any CS5 upgrades available?

    I currently have Photoshop CS5 standard, and want to upgrade to CS5 Extended to get the 3D capabilities.  Is this possible, I don't see any CS5 upgrades available?  I tried to download a new trial version as well, but my current operating system will not support it, so I'd like to stick w/ a version of CS5 that will allow me to work in 3D.  What are my options?

    You can upgrade to CS6 extended for $400

  • I have Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. Am trying to install Photoshop CS4 upgrade. It will not accept any of the serial numbers from my Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. The upgrade is for Photoshop CS 4 only

      Need help installing Photoshop CS4 upgrade. I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection installed on my computer. When trying to install Photoshop CS 4 upgrade. I am ask for serial number of Photoshop CW, CS2, & CS3 I put in the serial number from my Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. None of which are accepted. What do I need to do to accomplish upgrade?

    When you purchase a Creative Suite collection, you can't run an upgrade on an individual product within the Suite. You have to upgrade the entire collection.
    You could purchase a copy of Photoshop CS6, or a subscription to Photoshop which can be as little as $9.99 with the Photography plan to the Creative Suite.
    Adobe no longer sells upgrades to CS3 or CS4.
