Is cc photoshop the same as cs6 ps?

No
CS6 programs are 2+ years old and no longer receiving upgrades, but you may buy once as a perpetual license Creative Suite 6
CC (now CC 2014) programs are the current versions with new features, available for a monthly rental fee (stop paying, the programs stop working)

Photoshop CC Shape Layer Gradients Not the Same as CS6

I'm demo-ing Photoshop CC, and I came across an unexpected behavior when opening a CS6 PSD.
I have a shape layer that is composed of closed curves which use the path operation "Intersect Shape Areas." In CS6, I added a layer style with a tight gradient that is vertically positioned to show a certain part of the gradient, and the gradient seems to be confined to only the visible intersection of the paths.
In CC, however, the gradient seems to be applied to the entire region of the paths, and not just the intersection - as if there were no path operation performed. Here's an image to show what I mean:
The only way I could reproduce the desired effect in CC was to merge the shape components. But, I'd rather be able to keep the shapes editable at a boolean level.
Is there some setting that I'm missing?

I don't want to just start a new thread with the same topic so thought I would tag onto this one.
The behaviour described by K_SEREBY is something which I am also experiencing, and for me is a bit of a deal breaker. For files opened in CC which were created in an earlier version gradient fills/ styles on shape layers do not appear the same.
The only way to have them appear the same is to do as K_SEREBY says and "merge shape components", which is a completely destructive way of working.
It isn't something which is consistent either across Layer Styles, gradients behave as described, whereas inner glow, inner shadow and stroke for example all work as they did before, taking into account shape interaction.
Having said that using the stroke feature of vectors available on the top bar again works differently as shown in the below image. On the left the result of 3 interacting vector shapes with a vector stroke - no stroke visible. On the right the same shape with the same stroke effect but after merge shape components has been done - vector stroke visible.
It's all very confusing and not very pleasant to use, is there a work around? The video linked doesn't shed any light on the problem at hand, only highlighting something else which doesn't even show up for me when a shape is selected i.e. Live Vector Properties, but that is another story.

Does the serial number stay the same for CS6 downloads on seperate computers?

I am going to download my CS6 onto a second computer (redeem by second download) and I was just curious if my serial number will be the same since its the same product or if I need to redeem another one. How do I go about doing that?

You can only redeem once to get your serial number.
That same serial number is good to license and activate the software for use on a maximum of two computers at the same time.

Is the academic version of Adobe Photoshop the same as the regular version?

I'm a college student and I really want Adobe Photoshop. I'd much rather pay $300 for the academic version than pay $1000. But is the academic version the same as the regular version?

I just browsed the Adobe forums to see what information was being given there, since CS3 has just come out. It appears that the policy I remember (I upgraded from the academic versions of Photoshop 3 and After Effects 3.1, so it's been a while) is still in effect.
Basically, a qualifying student can either purchase a new academic product, or purchase the commercial upgrade. There are no academic "upgrades", per se.
It may actually be cheaper for a student to re-purchase the full academic copy than to purchase the commercial upgrade. Someone who no longer qualifies as a student needs to purchase the commercial upgrade, of course.

Is Bridge CC the same as CS6?

Hi Guys
I'm trialling CC and installing CC files and see that Bridge is there. Is it the same version as CS6, which I'm currently running or is it a new version?
Regards,
Graham

Every new version of a Suite (or in this case CC) Bridge has also a new version that corresponds with the different suite apps using start up scripts etc.
Normally I would say that not much has changed because bridge has changed much since CS4 except different cache format and minor improvements.
However this time Adobe Management in all its wisdom has decided that Bridge needed support for HDPPI screen which is realized. This at the cost of the Adobe Output Module, the export panel and the synchronized windows option.
Maybe they where thinking as an artist, "Less is more" I really don't know. Fact is that there are several threads of angry people (me amongst them…).
So chose your pick :-0

Auto-updates disabled in CS6 non-cloud the same way as in CS5/CC?

Hi,
is this procedure to deactivate auto-updates http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/disable-auto-updates-application-manager.html the same for CS6, non-cloud?
thanks.

yes it is. (and adobe's policy is to ignore non-cloud questions because this is the cloud forum, but there is no non-cloud forum, and the single program forums won't answer that kind of thing either. I did pay for this application.)

All screendumps are the same color in PS, but from Internet browser

Hi,
I know this has come up a thousand times before, and I thought I finally got the basics covered. I've been reading up on several webpages explaining all this, but it's confusing me even more as I think it should work.
Try to follow me on this:
I recently upgraded my pc, added a nice HP LP2475w monitor to the mix, and bought a ColorSpider for calibration.
This all works fine and the calibrated profile is loaded every time I start up my Vista pc. You can see the colors slightly shifting as the profile becomes active.
I work with the basic sRGB ICE61966-2.1 profile in PS CS4, but what I noticed is that any screendump, from any app is fine when pasted into PS.
But colors from any screendump from a internet browser, for instance a bright orange in the browser (IE8/FF3.5) becomes a dull brownish-orange in PS.
So,
The first confusing thing is that opening the saved .psd file in -say- XNView will show the 'original' colors from the browser.
The second strange thing is that the saved .psd file will show exactly the same colors in Bridge as in PS.
The annoying thing is that I cannot sample accurate colors from a screengrab dumped in PS, unless I change the color profile of the file to 'monitor color' (Spider profile).
But changing color profiles away from the sRGB one is bad as all webpages state.
Also, what is -again- confusing, if I save the file with "Save for Web & Devices" the colors 'pop right back' with the preview set to "Monitor Color". Even without the "convert to sRGB" checkbox checked.
Somewhere in this copy/pasting/saving there's some oddball CM going on that I just don't understand for screendumps from the browser.
I hope all this makes sense to someone, as it isn't for me and it's driving me nuts right now as I cannot use anything from screendumps out of an internet browser.
cheers for any directions in this,
rob

Thanks for the additional information. I still have more questions than answers, however, except to say that the behaviors you see are almost certainly the expected consequences of comparing managed and unmanaged color apps. I am not clear what you are comapring to what, and what your final output wants to be compared to and where (web, other PS users, print,..). Firefox 3.5 can be color managed, but it is not simply on or off. You have to specify if it is on for all rendered images or only tagged images and you also have to choose your rendering intent. Finally, you should make sure that FF is finding your monitor profile and if it is not to specify its path explicitly. This is especially important in your case since your new monitor is considered (by some) wide gamut, meaning larger departure from typical monitors (sRGB- like).
Here is a statement from your original post that I do not understand:
"but what I noticed is that any screendump, from any app is fine when pasted into PS. But colors from any screendump from a internet browser, for instance a bright orange in the browser (IE8/FF3.5) becomes a dull brownish-orange in PS."
This seems to be a separate problem unless I am missing something - I could use another coffee today.
If a screedump from any app is fine, then saying the screen dump from one app (your browser) is not fine, is inconsistent. A screendump should be simply a set of numbers, not a file and it will be considered and untagged image and any such image should render in Photoshop the same whether it came from a spreadsheet app or from some website you are viewing with your browser. That is, any differences between the original image on the screen and how it looks in Photoshop should be independent of the app from which the screenshot came.
I know you have a real workflow issue, though I am not sure exactly what you want. Probably need two coffees !

How do I tell photoshop to stop opening the same document every time I start Photoshop CS6?

Hi all,
Each and every time I start up Photoshop CS6 (running the latest version I think....13.0.1 x64) on my Mac Running 10.7.5
the same document opens up. As if it thinks it crashed and needs to recover it. Im a member of Creative Cloud in case that matters.
I have saved the document and closed it properly and yet - it returns every time I start up the program. Can anyone help?
Its not a killer issue but extremely annoying.
thank you.
-wendy-

Yeah - literally can't find anything remotely similar. If anyone knows where I might find the thread to a fix I'd be mightly helpful.
Haven't a clue how to word to it any differently to try to find the answer.

Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with CS3 and CS6 and get the same problem. Doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with both CS3 and CS6 on 10.8.2 and get the same problem. This doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

Photoshop CC and CS6 on the same computer ...

I'm sorry, if this question was already asked on the forum.
I have CS6 extended already installed ... I want to open a trial CC account. Can I use the trial version of Photoshop CC with the CS6 at the same time on a single computer?
And, a second question, there is only one version of CC, isn't there? I mean, there is no standard or extended version for CC, there is only one CC?

It's probably best to refer to Photoshop by version as well, as in:
Photoshop CS6 13.0 - perpetually licensed software.
Photoshop CS6 13.1 - today's creative-cloud subscription software.
Photoshop CC 14.0 - the creative cloud subscription software that will be released in a week, and which is NOT Photoshop CS7. Honest.

You can't delete the All On My Mac as it is an automatic group to display all of the contacts that are stored "On My Mac." You can delete all of the contacts that are in the ON MY MAC section by selecting All ON My Mac and then selecting all contacts. Press delete and approve the deletion. Then, select each group under ON My Mac and delete those individually.
Then, Make sure iCloud is set as the default account in the General Address Book Preferences.

CS6 Photoshop: One newly-created PSD filewon't print because the print dialog box won't appear altho the file properties appear to be the same as other files that do print.

CS6 Photoshop: One newly-created PSD file won't print because the print dialog box won't appear after selecting File > Print. Then "Print" becomes grayed out. The file properties such as permissions, are the same as other PSD files that do print. This file also cannot be converted to Adobe PDF, which is not offered as choice under "Save as", whereas other can be. I've exited, reopened Photoshop, restarted computer, checked out other CS6 PSD files which do print, nothing changes. The 52 MB file has been flattened. OS is Windows 7. Thanks for any suggestions.

Sounds like the printer driver is having some problems.
Try holding the space bar down when you select Print (which makes the print dialog NOT load previously used settings).
