I'm about to buy an iMac and am looking to put an old version of photoshop on it. How far back would be compatible EG Photoshop CS2?

Old version of photoshop compatible with new iMac?

Well,
If you are a NOT regular and expert Photoshop user, the you really do not need full Photoshop.
As has been stated you can use Photoshop Elements OR Pixelmator, then use LemkeSoft's Graphic Converter to do CMYK conversion.
Graphic Converter is not that expensive an app to add to your arsenal of Mac graphic/art tools.
These two graphics apps are still cheaper together than either an upgrade version of Photoshop CS3 OR much, MUCH cheaper than a full version of Photoshop.

Also, what type of digital art do you do? Do you work more with images or are you a digital painter?
You could look at Painter 5 Essentials or full version of Painter which is my painting app of choice which is a lot cheaper than newer versions of full Photoshop and has CMYK support and, also, has the ability to integrate images into its application and has layers, also.
It's pricey, but it is still cheaper than full versions of Photoshop.
You can look at these, as well and give yourself some other options.

  • I have an old version of Photoshop CS2 which I purchased in discs and want to install on my new computer but don't have the  discs can I copy it from my old laptop?

    Is there anyway to install my old version of Photoshop CS2 onto my new mac without the discs?

    Adobe took down their old Activation servers so you can not activate installing CS2 from your CD.  Adobe made available a new download of CS2 that uses their new Activation servers for activation their old CS2 customers can download and install.

  • About to Buy The iMac (Stop Me?)

    I am about to buy the iMac, possibly today. I was wondering a couple of things.
    -Should I wait for 10.5 to come pre-installed on them?
    -How are they, work wise, look wise, function wise (for the owners)?

    *Hi CA..., Welcome* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
    *Francine Schweider* a |||| bar poster in these forums has what I think is an excellent thought.
    "I plan to buy my next computer before Leopard comes out. Why? Because generally new Mac computers will not run any system older than the one they ship with, I want to be able to use the fully mature Tiger system, rather than having to rely entirely on Leopard. Who knows whether the software I own will be fully compatible with Leopard? Or how long it will take for developers (think Adobe) to update if there are incompatibilities with Leopard. Or even just how stable and reliable and all like that Leopard will be.

  • Can I buy an iMac and pay in dollars and send it to Belguim?

    I will buy an iMac and pay in dollars.
    Can i send this imac (paid in dollars) to belguim with the apple store?
    Please answer ;)

    …not to mention VAT at 19% which will be charged on the final price, including customs duties.
    Cheaper overall to buy in Belgium.
    If you want a US keyboard, you can order it from the online Apple store in Europe.

  • I have two computers - iMac and PC.  What is the EARLIEST version of Acrobat I can run on each system.  I am running 10.9.2 on iMac and Windows 8 on PC.  Thanks.

    Adobe currently supports Acrobat X and Acrobat XI for Mac and Windows platforms. More details about base system requirements can be found here: Tech specs | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and the changes to these requirements with the product updates can be found here : Overview — Acrobat and Adobe Reader Release Notes. So the earliest version would be Acrobat X and the Latest would be Acrobat XI.
    Please let us know if that answers your query.

  • I have a different Apple id on my PowerBook from that on my iMac and iPad. Photo Stream does not connect to my Powerbook. How do I change the Apple id in iCloud on my PowerBook? Will this link all 3 machines to PhotoStream?

    You can't simply change the details.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

    I have just purchased a new iMac and have uninstalled cs6 from my old iMac. Do I just install CS6 as normal or do I need a new code. My licence is for one user

    Yes, just install as you normally would using the serial number you originally used.
    You did not have to uninstall on the old machine - with your single user license you are allowed to have two activated installations.  So feel free to reinstall it if those are the only two machine you plan to have it on and you'd like to have a backup installation.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    I migrated everything from my Snow Leopard iMac to my new Lion iMac and now when I launch anything in CS5 like Photoshop the Adobe Manager pops up and wants my serial numbers or to start a trial version. I don't have my CS5 serial numbers but wouldn't they migrate over with everything else?

    but wouldn't they migrate over with everything else?

    I took away my backup disk with me so just took it from there excellent. I am back home at present working on my imac. When I go to use my macbook air on these projects (when away on boat) is it easiest to simply copy the Project and Events folders in total from my imac onto the other machine and do the same upon my return in reverse? I don't use icloud

  • Just bought an iMac and it does not recognise my existing HP printer which is wifi - how do i connect it to my imac

    just bought an iMac and it does not recognise my existing HP printer which is wifi - how do i connect it to my imac

    It should recognize it if they are both on the same Wifi network. Have you signed into the Wireless network on your iMac?
    Also, you must go into the Printer and log the printer into the wireless network. If the printer was working wirelessly before, this may have already been done.
    If that does not help, tell us the model of the HP Printer.

  • My browsers (safari and chrome) continue to open an old version of a website. Even though I've cleared my browser history and cache.  Please help!  what else can I do.

    My browsers (safari and Chrome) continue to open an old version of a website - even though I've cleared my browser history and cache.  It's essential I see the newly launched site - rather than the old ones.  It's strange it's happening in both browsers. 
    Please help!

    You, or someone using your computer, hacked the system to redirect certain URL's. The file modified is /etc/hosts.
    The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below. Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    Back up all data. This is a simple procedure, but if you don't follow the instructions exactly, you could be left with an unbootable system. In that case, you'll have to restore from a backup or reinstall OS X.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    open -a TextEdit /etc/hosts
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1                              localhost
    255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
    ::1                                        localhost
    fe80::1%lo0                    localhost
    Below that, you'll see some other lines. There should be nothing above the first line "##". If you have any doubt about that, STOP and ask for guidance. Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom of the document. Scroll bars are hidden by default until you actually start scrolling, so you may not realize that you’re not seeing the whole document.
    If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
    sudo sed -i~ '11,$d' /etc/hosts
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Quit Terminal.
    That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

    I'm not a Mac user so can't speak specifically about using Time Machine but if it is possible to get to an earlier version of the Lightroom Catalog then I would try that, yes.  Backups are another way of doing this.  Just make sure you make a copy of your current Catalog before replacing it with another one.

Meanwhile, I'm down to 13 days till it stops working due to not being activated.
