Is PS CC an upgrade to CS6?

It's been 24 hours and I'm still wondering if Photoshop CC is an upgrade to PS CS6? Adobe is causing a great deal of confusion with how they are handling this announcement. Not clear at all.
I downloaded CC yesterday, along with Bridge CC, thinking I was updating the program. Now I'm left with two copies of each program (soon to have four, since I haven't done this yet on my Windows system). Would much prefer updating the programs, keeping preferences intact, etc. etc.
To add further to the confusion, I also use Lightroom. Why did Adobe release the new Lightroom 5 at almost the same time it announced the CC updates/upgrades/versions? AND, the say they place Lightroom on a seperate track from the rest of Creative Cloud. This is more complicated that I can keep track of.
Are you listening, Adobe?

Hi Sdweavernm,
Photoshop CC is a new version of Photoshop, if we would have continued the same naming convention it would have been Photoshop CS7.
You can uninstall the CS6 versions whenever you want to through the OS
Control Panel > Programs & Features (Windows 7)
Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers (Mac OS X)
I know we have this FAQ that might help with some of your Lightroom questions

Sorry for the confusion,

Hi,
just got an offer from a private Person, who owns a boxed Version of Photoshop CS4 (DVD) and an Upgrade from CS4 to CS6....he told me that he can transfer the current license to me... now there's one important question for me...
Is there any possibility to check his Adobe-ID (which he already told me) if it's the same adress, name,etc. as he told me...
or if there is an registered Version of PS CS4 owned by this Adobe-ID?
Just like to check if he's a real person or a fake...don't want to buy any stolen or illegal software...or beeing punked after paying the money...
Thank you very much for helping me! :-)

Old versions of Photoshop are not marketed by Adobe. Only CS5 can be upgraded to CS6. There are many scams on the web if you find a cheap copy of Photoshop out there its most likely a scam... Be careful.....

I want to upgrade to CS6 Production Premium suite from CS5.5. Can I use CS6 upgrade made for CS5, or do I have to use upgrade that specifically states for CS5.5.

PDF presets are lost after upgrade to CS6 and uninstallation CS4

Since upgrading to CS6 from CS4 and subsequently uninstalling CS4 (and CS3) - as advised by IT - I have lost the presets I had when I export to pdf from Illustrator & Indesign - the drop down menu options of PRESS QUALITY, HIGH QUALITY and SMALLEST FILE SIZE have gone.
I have a back up of CS4's settings but no idea which one I need and what to do with it in order to reinstate these options.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much

You simply would have to copy the presets into the folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Settings
I'd be careful, though. Overwriting default presets with an older version may cause compatibilty issues.

Upgrading to CS6 Design and Web Premium from CS4 Design Premium Install Failure

I am trying to upgrade to CS6 Design and Web Premium from CS4 Design Premium on Win 7 (32bit). I am nistalling from the DVD which was purchased from the Adobe Store. The box says it is for Upgrading from 4 or 3x. I am entering the CS6 serial number and it is able to validate it. When it goes into the Preparing to Install mode the status bar never changes and after what seems like a very long time the Installation failed message is displayed. I ran the Adobe Support advisor and followed the link to the page that tells you how to resolve the issues and chose to go into the registry and look for "In Progess". There was no "In Progress". I have the serial numbers for CS4 and CS6 so they should be valid given that both were purchased through the Adobe Store. I am very frustrated!!!!!!!!!
Installation Status:
Installation failed:
Adobe Advisor Results:
Regestry:

I downloaded and installed the Application manager and re-started the installation. This time it got to installiing the applications and after 3 hours it was only 55% completed and showing that it was installing Acrobat and had 2 hours to go. It seemed to be stuck so I cancelled the install.

Upgrading to CS6 returns: "This serial number is not for a qualifying product"

I have CS5 and have been using it for about 2 years. The Serial number for CS5 it is registered to my adobe id.
So i decided to upgrade to CS6 today. I then registered that to my adobe id as well.
When i open CS6 and enter my new serial number, it tells me:
Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer
Which is strange because CS5 is currently installed and running on this computer
So it then prompts me to select a previous product that I own and enter the serial number for that. So I select CS5 and enter the serial number for my CS5 license.
However, it then tells me: "This serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try another"
But it doesn't tell may any further details. I.e. Why is it not valid?
Can you help?
Thanks!

Brazzers234 is the serial number for CS5 also an upgrade? The upgrade process is looking for a full version serial number. You can determine what type of serial number is registered under your account at http://www.adobe.com/. For additional details please see Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
If you have verified that the CS5 serial number is a full version serial number or your previous full version serial number is still not accepted then please contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care to verify the validity of the previous version serial number.

I'm confused - does it still make sense to upgrade to CS6 now?

Hi,
I wanted to switch from Mac to Windows in the near future and therefore upgrade from CS5 to CS6 (because apparantly it's not possible to switch my CS5 license to another OS).
Cloud version is a no-go for me, one reason is because I don't like monthly fees, I want to buy things and own them.
Now, with the CC versions announced and the discontinuation of the Creative Suite, I am not sure it even makes sense to upgrade to CS6 anymore? Would I invest in a more or less dead product?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm really confused about this.

Ok. nevermind. I decided to buy a new Mac and to continue using CS5 as long as possible while looking for alternative software.

Can I still upgrade to CS6

I'm setting up a replacement laptop and want to upgrade to CS6

Again, what do you mean by "upgrade link on the Adobe site"?
Are you talking about the link to buy CS6 as an upgrade from CS5? CS4 is totally out of the upgrade loop.
Or are you referencing a link to download the CS6 trial version?
The former is available at the Adobe Store simply by following the steps to purchase CS6. After clicking on Buy and selecting your platform, Mac or Win, in the next step you have a chance to select Upgrade from a dropdown menu. Remember you have to have a legitimate copy of CS5 to upgrade to CS6. CS4 does not qualify.
The trial version is also available at the Adobe site, but that's the one you really have to drill down to. That's why I suggested Google, e.g.:
https://www.google.com/search?q=repair+psd+file&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en- US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=rcs#bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&channel=rcs&fp=74c7ae8e827 af690&q=download+photoshop+cs6+trial+version&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&safe=off
If you already had CS6 Photoshop 13.0.0 or even 13.0.4 for the Mac and wanted to update that, there is a direct download to the Photoshop CS6 13.0.5 update
http://download.cnet.com/Adobe-Photoshop-CS6/9241-2192_4-12694162.html?messageID=10871113
You can also use a FTP client (or your browser if it supports FTP) and download from the Adobe FTP server (ftp.adobe.com). The files are in /pub/adobe/cs6/downloads :
Windows (launch the .exe which will open the 7z file):
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/cs6/downloads/Photoshop_13_LS6.7z
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/cs6/downloads/Photoshop_13_LS6.exe
Mac :
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/cs6/downloads/Photoshop_13_LS6.dmg
Previous versions are also available in /pub/adobe/photoshop/win and /pub/adobe/photoshop/mac
These folders are public so you don't need any identifier to connect.

Free Upgrade to CS6 with Purchase of CS5.5

In case anyone is considering moving to CS5.5 now would be a good time.
Any CS5.5 purchase now gets a free upgrade to CS6 when it ships.
Bob

Why not just wait? Or is CS6 likely to cost more?
Pricing is not yet announced for CS6, but if you buy CS5.5 you get to use that while you wait for CS6, and you can take your time moving to CS6 until the first service update is released if you're one of those folks who likes to let other users find the bugs that got missed during testing. There's almost always a bug-fix update in the first 90 days or so.
Another reason not to wait is that if you do any work with other people, they are unlikely to all upgrade to CS6 at the same time.
Since new releases of InDesign cannot directly save old version files, you'll need to export files from CS6 to IDML and run the risk that the export might be imperfect -- if you need to work with other people.
But if you buy CS5.5 now (and get the free upgrade to CS6), then you'll have CS5.5 and you can use it if you need, to when working with others.
Also:
Are there system requirements listed for CS6? Currently have an iMac i7 running 10.6.8. Thanks for the notification on the upgrade!!!
I can't really imagine a processor as new as a Core i7 would not be supported. You should be fine.
Similarly, there's a huge installed base of Snow Leopard, so that should also be fine.

I have Creative Suite 5 Design Premium (teacher and student edition), how can i upgrade to cs6 and how much is it. I want to use it forAdobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium Digital Classroom Book ? I already bought the book thinking it was for Creative Suite 5 not 6 .I don't know where to get it any where else if anyone would be willing to help me out I would really Appreciate it alot. I would just return the book but Its past the return date. I bought the book at Barnes & Noble . I thought the Software would be included but I was wrong.
Thank you for any help you can give me ~

If you are eligible for a new copy of the Teacher and Student edition, that is the way to go. It is generally cheaper to get new teacher/student versions than upgrade to a commercial version. However, with the Creative Cloud now available, I do not know if the CS 6 teacher/student versions are still available.

If you are still eligible for S&T pricing, you simply buy a completely new discounted license of CS6.

Performance Problems PrPro CS5 - Upgrade to CS6?

Hi
we often notice massive performance problems with PrPro CS5 here.
e.g. last week we were shooting with a Sony NEX-VG10. (MediaInfo:)
Format: AVC
Format profile: [email protected]
Format settings, CABAC: Yes
Format settings, ReFrames: 2 frames
Format settings, GOP: M=2, N=13
Bit rate: 16.0 Mbps
Width: 1 920 pixels
Height: 1 080 pixels
Display aspect ratio: 16:9
Frame rate: 25 fps
After linking footage into PrPro plaback stutters.
PrPro is very often not responsive to the keyboard at all.
Sometimes PrPro needs some seconds before playback starts.
This way editing is a pain...
No fx in timeline, only one or two clips. Same behaviour if I play a clip in the source window.
Project and sequence settings are correct. Playback quality set to 1/4.
These problems occure in several projects with footage from different cameras.
PrPro works ok with this (PAL/SD-)footage for example - MediaInfo:
Format: DV
Commercial name: DVCPRO
Width: 720 pixels
Height: 576 pixels
Display aspect ratio: 16:9
About the computer:
Dell Precision WorkStation T5500
24 GB RAM
2 processors w/ 8 cores together: Intel Xeon CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz
System: 250 GB (SSD)
Media: 2 TB (this is one normal internal hard drive, no raid)
NVIDIA Quadro 4000 (driver version 297.03)
connected to internet (is a must in this company)
connected to intranet, server (is a must in this company, too)
optimized for performance
windows firewall active
AVIRA Porfessional
What would PrPro force to work with HD footage?
Add an RAID? internal/external?
Upgrade to CS6?
Edncode footage to another codec before linking it into PrPro? (which codec? encode with AME?)
Buy a new processor? (i7? which one?)
Buy any Hardware pieces?
TIA for your guidiance and best regards.

Take a look at the Dell T7400 currently at rank # 568, 'Base2008PT1' on Benchmark Results. It is somewhat similar to your own system, but has more memory, a better video card and some raid0 arrays. Nevertheless, it is around 3.4 times slower than a fast system. My guess is that your system is even slower.
The material you try to edit is very demanding and requires a beefy computer. Even though there is nothing wrong with the dual Xeon E5620's, their clock speed works against you (I have the same CPU's in a file server, but that is far less demanding than editing), as does the amount of memory in the system. You can be helped with more disks, but don't expect miraculous performance improvements. But all little things help.
The alternative is a complete new system, but that can be pricey. Even if you build it yourself, see Planning & Building a NLE system it can be costly. It gives you very fast performance as demonstrated on the Reflections page and you should not get such a system from Dell or HP, unless you have unlimited funds.

CS3 Pro upgrade to CS6 standard, both on same Mac

I have a 17in 2010 MacBook Pro w/ CS3 Pro version on it. I need to upgrade to CS6, standard and run them both on the computer temporarily. My specs are OS X 10.6.8; 2.8GHz Intel core 2 duo proc; Memory is 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3. Can I do this? If not what is recommended and or do you need other specs from me?

Whose got our answer?

Can I upgrade to CS6 from Lightroom 4.2 or Adobe Premier Elements?

Can I upgrade to CS6 from Lightroom 4.2 or Adobe Premier Elements . . . or both?

I know it's a bit late to respond, but wanted to tell you what I think of Adobe's support.
I have bought numerous Adobe products over the years and would have expected a bit more accommodation when wanting to upgrade. It was not that I'm unwilling to pay the princely sums you ask for your programs, but you could at least give loyal customers some consideration, say a 10% or 15% discount to "upgrade." Well, since you don't, won't, and will not even consider it, I will never purchase another Adobe product!
I know I'm only a very small drop in the bucket, but I do plan to tell my friends, and they'll probably tell their friends, and so it goes. You'll probably never even notice it, but I hope that you remember that you have got to treat your customers right and honorably, no matter how little they spend!

Free upgrade to CS6 query.

Hi
I hope you can make sense of this it was hard to put into words! It might be a silly question!
I have recently purchased CS5.5 Suite Standard. When the free upgrade to CS6 becomes available I understand that you have to enter your credit card details in to purchase/upgrade even though the amount will be £0. My question is do I have to enter the same credit card details as when I purchased CS5.5 for it to work and process the upgrade? Can I use another card? It is a big problem to get the card information from the CS5.5 purchase.
Regards
Matthew

That's just my problem. The Adobe account is under my name but the card that purchased the CS5.5 isn't. I want to use my card simply for the upgrade and I don't know if there is going to be some sort of security problem or conflict for using different cards one for CS5.5 and another for the upgrade to CS6? The card that was used for the CS5.5 purchase was a family members which I paid back in cash.
