I recently purchased CS6 and Lightroom 5. Would it be an unwise decision to join CC for Photographers?

I am not sure how long CS6 will be supported and updated. Are all updates and new versions included in CC?
thanks

CS6 is over 2 years old, CC is updated as often as new features are released... only you can decide if you need any of the new features in Photoshop
You should ask about Photoshop in Photoshop General Discussion

  • I have just purchased the new Canon 7D II.  I am using CS6 and Lightroom 5.0, neither of which can open the RAW files although I see from the list of supported cameras that the 7D II is covered.  I have updated both CS6 and LR so that is not the problem.

    It has been indicated that both of those cameras will be supported in the final release of Camera Raw 8.7. But there is no announced release date. There never is. I assume it will be before December 31. But that is only my guess based on the fact that the release candidate expires then.

  • Using Mac Mini with Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom

    Hi
    I use Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4 mainly as I am a photographer. It involves both programmes live and some huge PSD files kicking around. I would be interested in hearing from any one who does similar on a high end mac mini. I am thinking of getting the high end new i7 with 16g and an SSD.
    Any good ?

    While it will not deliver 'blazing fast' performance, it has tested OK with Photoshop CS6 MGE recently and it has faired decently well in some benchmark reports. Since the OP insisted Mac Mini, I think he can go for it. Also, since his work demands more 'Photo-specific' editing, I guess he should be good. Not much 3D I assume!
    Here are some references:

    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html - HD4000 has been tested with CS6 by Adobe
    And I haven't heard of a 'reported failure' per se yet.

  • Camera Raw CC and CS6 and Lightroom 5 Support for Canon SX60 Canon 7D Mark II

    I have just bought my wife Canon SX60 and loaded pictures into Bridge and saw that Camera Raw does not recognize Canon SX60 CR2s. I checked the supported cameras and saw SX60 is not in the list. I will be purchasing a Canon 7D Mark II on Tuesday and see that it is also not supported. I saw in a forum post that the 7D is not in the current Camera 8.7 but will be part of the Camera Raw 8.7 "production release". I currently have Photoshop CC, Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5 will both cameras be supported in the next "production version" of Camera Raw and Lightroom 5 and when is it scheduled for release (I saw some thoughts that it would be by the end of year but was hopefully we can get a more definitive date).
    Thanks

  • Do I need a 64 bit processor on my Mac Pro to run CS6 and Lightroom 4?

    I would like to install Adobe CS6 and Lightroom 4 on my 2008 Mac Pro but may not have the right processor to run it.  I know I will have to upgrade my OS X 10.5.8 to at least OS X 10.6.8.  The system requirements specify a Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support.  I have a Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor.  Does this mean my Mac will not run this software at all or slowly at best?  Will I only be able to use this software if I buy a new computer?
    Here is what I have now:
    Hardware Overview:
      Model Name:          Mac Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacPro3,1
      Processor Name:          Quad-Core Intel Xeon
      Processor Speed:          2.8 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          2
      Total Number Of Cores:          8
      L2 Cache (per processor):          12 MB
      Memory:          6 GB
      Bus Speed:          1.6 GHz
      Boot ROM Version:          MP31.006C.B05
      SMC Version (system):          1.25f4
      Serial Number (system):         
      Hardware UUID:          A120CDBF-0CB3-56FA-9AF2-16F2938C5F0D
    System Software Overview:
      System Version:          Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L30)
      Kernel Version:          Darwin 9.8.0

      Boot Mode:          Normal

    Please see the tech specs for LR 4 : http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom/tech-specs.html
    LR 4 and CS 6 applications will not run on 10.5.8, you need atleast 10.6.8 to run these applications.

  • Pls help. My Camera Raw, CS6 and Lightroom won't read the NEF files from D610.

    I recently upgraded to Nikon D610 and the NEF files were not readable from my old version of Camera Raw, CS6 and Lightroom. So downloaded the recommended upgrades and I now have Camera Raw 8.4.0.199; Lightroom 5.3; CS6 13.01. But still did not read my D610 NEF's. Please help. Thanks.

    oh wait, i got it. Just in case for those who will have the same scenario. I downloaded the NEF files from my D610 using the old ViewNX 2.1 software and that was the cause of incompatibility. So i upgraded my ViewNX to 2.9 and downloaded my images again. And it worked this time.

  • Reinstalling photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4

    Hi,
    Here is my situation- I use/own CS6 and lightroom 4. 
    I have installation cd's (I'm a long time user so they are upgrades from previous versions) however, I am on an extended vacation with my laptop which is my second system.
    My laptop crashed so I had to rebuild it and I don't have my CD's. Where can I download CS6 and Lightroom 4 so I can activate it.
    I have an adobe account so I have proof of purchase and have documented serial keys.Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
    I may suffer severe withdraw if I can't process my photos before I get home.

    if you follow all 7 steps, you can dl trials here:  http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html and http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-lightroom-4-is-out.html
    and activate with your serial numbers.
    if you have a dl problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  typically, a failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem.

  • My PC crashed with both CS6 and Lightroom 4. .

    My PC crashed with both CS6 and Lightroom 4. . .I purchased a Mac Pro.  Can I download the Mac versions of both programs and use my currenct serial numbers?

    You can with Lightroom, but not (as far as I know) with Photoshop. You ought to get in touch with Adobe's customer service people and see if you can "sidegrade" to Mac for a relatively small fee.

  • Moving CS6 and Lightroom 4 to new computer

    Is there a way to install upgrade versions of Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4 onto a newly purchased computer without having to reinstall all previous versions. I have been upgrading Photoshop since CS3 and Lightroom since Lightroom 2. What a pain if I have to reinstall all of that.

    That's how I do it every time. The upgrades include the full code so they'll install the full software.
    Launch the PS CS6 and LR4 upgrade installers, enter your upgrade serial number.
    When the installer cannot find a qualifying earlier version on your hard drive it will ask for the serial number from an earlier version.
    Enter your earlier version serial even if it's an upgrade serial number - for PS CS6 that'll be CS3 or CS4 or CS5. For LR it'll be any earlier version serial number.
    The installation will then complete.

  • CS6 and Lightroom 4 Need compare of plans

    I currently have CS6 and Lightroom 4. Please compare the plans for the single app for $9.99 and the complete plan for CS6 for $19.99. Which is right for my situation?

    LloydGold1, If you are talking about your upgrade options, then i will suggest to get the full CC membeship as Lightroom 5 is only available when you purchase full CC membership. Its not available as a single app subscription.

  • Need recommendation on new monitor for CS6 and lightroom 5 -

    I would like to upgrade my monitor for photo editing using CS6 and lightroom 5.  I have spent a lot of time reviewing several monitors and just as confused as when I started.  I am looking for a monitor in the $500 to $900 range but want to make an intelligent decision.  HELP!
    JAG-EVV

    If you have a subscription there should be no problem.  You should be able to install on two machines. If you try to activate a third machine I believe the activation server will deactivate all your activations.  Then activate the current machine. You can then re-activate one of you other machines.
    If you have a perpetual licence and have two activation you will need Adobe Customer Support to assist you.

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck

  • Deactivation . Crash hard drive. New computer. Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5.7

    I have both desktop and laptop. Photoshop cs6 and Lightroom 5.7 installed on both. My desktop hard drive crashed and I can't deactivate both Photoshop cs6 and Lightroom 5.7 on the desktop. I believe I have 2 activations on both Photoshop and Lightroom. I need to deactivate both Photoshop and Lightroom to reinstall on new Desktop. I do not want to deactivate on the laptop. Remember the old desktop hard drive crash before deactivating. Help.
