Just photoshop and Illustrator

Hi
I was wondering if it is possible just to use download Photoshop and Illustrator on Creative cloud rather than the whole suite? The monthly fee is rather expesive for the whole suite and I am looking for something a little cheaper bearing in mind that I only use these two programmes.
Kind regards
Mike

There currently is not a two-application license for the Creative Cloud. I wouldn't expect Adobe to make something like this available any time soon.

Cancel the full plan and buy the photography package and a single subscription to illustrator

How to downgrade subscription to just Photoshop and Illustrator instead of Complete Cloud

Looking to downgrade my subscription, any help would be appreciated!

Check the cost of the plans for individual products versus the full package to see if it is worth it. You would be getting two individual product subscriptions which is not far from the cost of the full package.

Hi megan14,
Yes, you can purchase multiple single-app membership plans under a single Adobe ID, as long as they are for different applications.

I just bought Photoshop and Illustrator, but I think I have two Creative Cloud accounts as well?

I didn't mean to get two Cloud accounts and I need to figure out how to get the serial numbers for Photoshop and Illustrator so that I can use them. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I'm working on a couple of logos, so I could really use the help soon. Thanks!

Does your Cloud subscription show on your account page?

Why Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 are so slow on my MacBook Pro early 2011?

First of all sorry for my english
I recently installed Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 and they tend to lag even on just during normal work operations like zooming, opening a file, selecting a tool, browsing menus etc etc.
Cpu, Ram and Gpu usage are normal, I mean when I use these software there's at list 85% of free Cpu, 1GB of Ram still available, and 80% of free GPU. And I got 30GB left on my hardrive which is little but I believe is enough.
So I cannot believe this slow performance is due hardware limitations. There must be some driver issue or something else.
Anyone knows why CS6 is so slow?
Software version:
Photoshop CS6 13.0.1
Illustrator CS6 13.0.0
My Specs:
Os: Snow Leopard 10.6.8
Cpu: Intel Core i7 2.3 GHz
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 8 MB
4GB ram
AMD Radeon HD 6750M

My experience is that Photoshop can demand and use prodigious amounts of memory and disk space, much more than one might expect from the size of the files being worked on. While I don't have direct experience with CS6, my daughter uses CS4 on a Macbook Air with 4 GB memory and she had 100 GB free (on a 250 GB solid state drive). CS4 is less demanding than CS6, and in fact with the SSD, it runs pretty well, even with just 4 GB memory (the solid state drive is basically like memory, in fact, in some ways). However after running Photoshop on some projects for a while, we noticed she had only 60 GB free disk space. After restarting her Mac, she had 100 GB free again. Photoshop CS4 was using up 40 GB of disk space! And this was simply editting some (multiple) photos from a digital camera. Photoshop not only has its own memory management processes, but it also pages to disk and uses disk space as "scratch space" in its own fashion. I think that it is inadvisable to run Photoshop with less than 100 GB free disk space, and that's with CS4, not even CS6. And if you don't have a solid state drive, the throughput might slow down immensely unless you have a lot of memory (I think someone else pointed this out already).
Bottom line -- based on what I have seen with CS4, 4 GB memory is too low by at least a factor of x2 (16 GB memory would be even better), and I'd say a minimum of 100 GB free disk space is a must as well. I saw CS4 using more than 40 GB of "scratch disk space" and you are using CS6, which must use significantly more resources than CS4, and you indicate only 30 GB free space. That seems too low to me. I think other Adobe major software packages are similarly demanding, unlike any other software I have seen or used. For instance, I think you would have no trouble running MS-Office software (which is also known for using computer resources, but not anywhere as much as Adobe software).
One thing you can do is when you notice things slowing down, not only quit all other software except for CS6, but also in the Finder, under the Go menu, enter
/private/var
under Go To Folder ...
and then look in the folder called
vm
If you see swapfiles, add up the total space they are taking, and also the space taken by the sleepimage file. These are working to decrease the amount of free space you have and they can quickly grow to tens of GB when Photoshop and other Adobe softwares are running.
Since it sounds like you have now upgraded your RAM, that should help, but you may find that the swapfiles and sleepimage files are taking even more disk apce faster and I think 100 GB free space is needed to avoid further slowdowns.

Updating CC Photoshop and Illustrator on Mac stuck at 0%

I just installed Creative Cloud on a new Macbook Pro and was notified about Photoshop and Illustrator updates. I try update them and they just stay stuck at 0%. I've tried this a few different times on different days and wifi networks with the same result. Here are the screenshots.
It just stays like the second screenshot no matter how long I leave it there.
How can I update the software?

New laptop spec suggestions for Photoshop and Illustrator

Hi Everyone!
As I am sifting through the posts regarding laptops - I figured I'd post my own as my requirements are a little different. I am looking to buy a new windows laptop. I work with Photoshop and Illustrator and basic office programs like outlook, word and excel. I have CS2 but will upgrade with the new laptop purchase - so running CS5.5 (or better) Photoshop and Illustrator is required. I may or may not buy the whole Creative Suite as I only use these and Acrobat. I want to spend what is required to get the job done well - not more - but I don't want to be cheap either – my laptop needs to work well & not hamper my workflow. This will be my only computer. Being efficient is key. I use Adobe to do graphics for apparel: (embroideries, prints, logos, etc.) and small business (logos, print media, etc.). I work in actual size – so a lot of what I do is on a 20 x 30 art board. I do not work on videos – just print media and static artwork. Suggestions on the specs I will need and/or actual laptop models would be great. Thanks so much for your help - it is all so confusing!

Canceling CC and maintaining owned photoshop and illustrator

I signed up for CC almost two years ago for discount rate - despite owning software Photoshop, Bridge, Illustrator and Flash for years.
The CC is great but I don't use the other programs at all and find the raised price of $54.00 a month way too expensive. I only use Photoshop and Illustrator anyway.
I like to cancel plan and just maintain the software I owned before ( Photoshop and Illustrator). Will the cancellation screw up my the current versions of Photoshop and Illustrator on my computer?
Thanks

When you cancel the CC, the CC versions will stop working, the pre-owned products products can still be used.

How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom? When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut. I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom?
When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut. I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

I tend to select things from left to right and every time I am moving in a downward right diagonal motion during lasso selection I am missing a clear view and I am tending to have a more sloppy selection. All this does is slow me down since I need to go back and hit those areas again. The big arrowhead just get's in the way. The original lasso tool with the thin line and small active point at it's lower left was far better for me.
I don't like turning the cursors to precise because I like to see the active tool icon where my cursor is and as the icon changes as I hold modifier keys down. If I am forced to get comfortable with using pricise cursors I guess I will, but man, I've never had to do this in my 15 years of photoshop use...
I would absolutely LOVE to find a way to get the old lasso icon -- without the arrowhead above it.
Is there any chance this option could be inlcuded in cursor preferences? I'd give much thanks, Adobe.

Deleted the CS6 trial, but App Manager thinks I still have Photoshop and Illustrator installed.

I had previously installed, used, and then deleted the Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 trials. I recently subscribed to the Creative Cloud, but when I try to install Photoshop and Illustrator from the Adobe Application Manager, it just says they are "Up to Date," but I can't find them anywhere on the Mac or the Applications folder like they used to be.
Do I need to delete a file or folder somewhere else for the App Manager to realize I don't have them installed anymore?
Thank you for your help.
I am currently running OS X, 10.8.2, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 with 4GB RAM.

Run the Adobe Cleaner Tool then try downloading via the AAM again.

My anti-virus is flagging my Photoshop and Illustrator on start-up

Hello,
My anti-virus software (Kapersky) is flagging my Photoshop and Illustrator on start-up. It is saying it's similar to PDM Invader, a keystroke recording software. Is this something Adobe is doing to see how I'm using the programs, or has a virus somehow attached itself to the programs and I need to be worried about it?
Sincerely,
Ken

I just noticed this, too, though I've been getting it when I make my first menu selection, not exactly when it launches. Chances are it has something to do with how Adobe is implementing menus in those applications, given that they decided to ditch the standard user interface in favor of their own stylings. It doesn't seem to be happening in any of the other CS6 applications that I've tried so far (InDesign, Media Encoder, Dreamweaver). Might be because only these two are 64-bit? No, Premiere Pro is too and it didn't trigger that warning... must be something in that new ultra-dark look.
Kaspersky seems not to really be interfering too much with the programs and it is only on the first access to a menu (at least for me). Despite having about a dozen such messages in the log, it says "Threats: none".
To stop the warnings, from the Kaspersky Advanced Settings, Threats and Exclusions, Exclusions Settings..., Trusted applications tab, I set up an exclusion for these programs, selecting "Do not monitor application activity" and "Do not monitor child application activity" (though I don't know they have child applications).
This seems to have stopped the warnings for me. Hope it helps you. And perhaps because I'm allowing Kaspersky to send back data, it will eventually learn that Photoshop/Illustrator are okay.

How is compatibility with creative cloud products (Photoshop and Illustrator) with Macbook Pro? I am making a big purchase and would love some feedback

Hi Frederick,
You're spending a lot of money. I will add my 2¢ -- -- but you must, as I assume you know, fully research your options.
Environment:
Start with your workspace (inc. lighting) and your clothes.
Screen:
The iMac screens are lovely, but not, from what I hear, monitor-grade accurate. For critical color work, use NEC or Eizo monitors. I use NEC, with their SpectraView II software and an X-Rite ColorMunki photospectrometer. At the time, this was the least expensive color-calibrated workflow.
Printer:
Epson's are great, imho. I use a 3880 in my studio and rent a 9900 by the hour when needed. I have read of problems (iirc) with one of the printers in the 7000 line, however. The take-home lesson that I filed in my brain was, "If you're going to spend the money on the 7000 line, just get the 9000 line."
Aperture workflow:
Aperture is a fantastic workflow tool. Since you are adept with PS, you should set PS as your external editor. Use Apertures formidable tools for storing and organizing your Images, and its robust editing tools for either all your proofing, or all but your most demanding editing needs. That said, allow a good bit of time to get the feel of Aperture. It is not at all like Bridge. But your important choice is which RAW converter you want to use. There is, imho, no reason to use Aperture if you are going to use Adobe's (or anyone else's) RAW converter.
Good luck!

Photoshop and illustrator won't work in my macbook pro

i tried installing photoshop and illustrator and can't seem to open the applications. i keep getting messages to reinstall the applications. is anyone else having these problems or is it just me? i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. i was told that rosetta would help run these programs and they won't run.

I am using a MacPro, for 3 weeks now. I use CS1. When setting up the new computer it asked me if I wanted to copy data from another Mac. It was quick--did about 50 GB of data in under 2 hours--and I was able to instantly continue with my normal routine. It was WONDERFUL!
I've been using Illustrator a good bit since then and less so Photoshop. I've been having lots of crashes with Illustrator. It doesn't seem to play too well with Rosetta. But I know crashes are not uncommon for Illustrator on other operating systems and hardware. I was previously running CS1 on a G4 with 10.4.4 and had few problems with the programs. I've been reminded of the importance of frequent saving. I lost a file last week that was damaged beyond repair after the program crashed while the file was being saved.
Among applications that are legacy that I transferred to the new machine, Illustrator 10 and Photoshop 6 can both be opened on the machine, but I haven't done any test runs to see what happens. Illustrator kept trying to reopen files (using Open Recent File) with AI 10 instead of AI CS1, which was really strange, so I'm not using that feature. Much Classic/Carbon software I own will not run at all on the MacPro (QuarkXpress 5, Flash 5 included).
I think that Illustrator CS1 on the MacPro is more fitful. I use it with Panther on a G5 at work and it's relatively stable. I also did a software update yesterday that included a firmware update for the MacPro. I noticed things were much more stable on the machine last night, but it's too early to say that it partially or completely solved these operability problems.
I think we're just all on riding the new wave. There's bound to be some problems. Same thing happened when we all moved from OS 9 to OS 10, and with every interim upgrade some issues arise.
