Looking to upgrade to CS5 from CS3

HI everyone! I'm looking to upgrade to CS5 from CS3 Master Collection. Is there an easy way of doing this? I have zero interest in anything cloud related or CS6. thanks so much in advance!

As said by Brett already, you can no longer get CS5 or below from Adobe.
If by any chance, you make your mind to get CS6, Here is where you can get it. Creative Suite 6
Cheers!

  • Epson r1900 Prints too dark after upgrading to cs5 from cs3

    Ok this one has got me stumped.  While still in photoshop CS3 my epson r1900 was printing photo's just fine.  After upgrading cs3 to Photoshop cs5  it now prints everything too blue.  Nothing else has changed. My monitor is still calibrated, my printer paper profiles are still the same, the only change was upgrading to cs5.  To me it looks all the world like ICM is being applied twice (in photoshop and the printer) but in photoshop I have selected "photoshop manages colors" just like I did in cs3, and in the print dialog box for the printer, I have selected no ICM again just like I did in CS3.  But now the prints come out with a, to my eye, dark blue tint.  Very very frusterating.  I have deleted the color prefs file and let that recreate, but that did not help either.  I am out of tricks.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Patrick

    There were a lot of reports of "double profiling" with Epson printers when Photoshop CS5 was first released.  I believe many people were seeing magenta-looking prints at that time.
    Unfortunately, I don't think there was ever a resolution or even a good workaround...  I recall at least one person bought a new printer to be able to continue to work.
    Of course, double check to see whether Epson has released any updated printer drivers.
    As I don't have an Epson myself, I can only suggest that you'll want to experiment with your settings to see if you can find a way to disable color management in the printer driver, so that only Photoshop does it - or disable color-management in Photoshop so that only the printer driver will do it.

  • Upgrade to CS5 from CS3

    I am trying to install CS5 upgrade on a new PC. I have a licensed copy of CS3 with the serial number. When I install CS5, it asked me for the serial number which I put it. It then asks me for the CS3 number which I also put it but it will not accept it. Can you help so I can use CS5. Thank you

  • I just upgraded to CS5 from CS3, the ftp worked for me in CS3, but not in CS5

    I believe the settings are the same but when I transfer a file up to the site, it appears to get truncated. The web page appears blank, and when I use the browser to view source there is barely 1 line of html.
    When I transfer the same file using Windows Explorer logged into the ftp site, the file transfers and the web page displays properly. What did I miss in the new confuration?

    Windows explorer?  Really?  Plenty of other FTP solutions out there.
    Anyways, there is a new setting in CS5 but it should be disabled if the site was defined back in CS3.  Manage your site and edit the FTP server information.  There is an arrow for More Options and the new option is for FTP Performance Optimization.  Try disabling that and see if you are able to transfer files again.  If it is not, you should click on Site->Advanced->FTP Log and consult with your host the result of the log.

  • Upgrade product CS5 from CS3 to run on Mac -serial number not accepted

    Please can you help me

  • I just upgraded to CS5 from Dreamweaver 8 - where are my sites?

    I just upgraded to CS5 from Dreamweaver 8. I am running Mac OS 10.5.8. I was expecting that when I launched CS5 for the first time it would find whatever files it need from my Dreamweaver 8 and my sites would be available in CS5. However, I don't see any of my sites that I manage regularly in Dreamweaver 8. How do I import them in?
    Thanks.

    Beacuse of the upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7.3 my Dreamweaver 8 (unexpectedly) stopped working altogether so I had to upgrade to CS5.5
    (which, functionally, I didn't even want to do (yet)).
    Although it was an upgrade, it didn't take my site settings from v8.
    How can I get them now, as Dreamweaver 8 stopped working!?
    Please advice as there are settings in there that clients have entered themselves and are not tracked anywhere else.
    Ansd is there a way to get CS5.5 to actually work with our html5 / css3 sites as it shows them all garbled?
    I hoped this would at least solve this issue, but it sure hasn't :-(
    Kind regards

  • Trying to Upgrade to CS4 from CS3 Extended

    I am trying to upgrade to CS4 from CS3 Extended.  The Adobe web page states to call Adobe support for this upgrade.  I call them before I attempt the upgrade to ask what I should do.  They tell me to intall it and call back.  I get to the serial screen and call back, they tell me to fully install it in trial mode, then call back.  I do this and call back, but notice it installed CS4 Extended, not CS4.  They tell me they can't help me because I purchased only CS4.  That is all I want is CS4, so I uninstall CS4 extended and try again.  Again the install(from disk) installs CS4 Extended(At least that is what the title page says).
    Do I need to uninstall CS3 Extended before I install the CS4 Trial version?
    Thanks for any help,
    bdriscoll

    Mylenium,
    Thanks for the reply.  You are correct and the next support person understood that and got it fixed.
    thanks again for your reply,

  • Upgrade to Photoshop CS5 from CS3/CS2/6.0

    I purchased Adobe Photoshop 6.0, then upgraded to CS2, then CS3.
    Can I upgrade to CS5?
    If so, can I install the trial and later activate it once I have the key?
    Since the key is an upgrade key, what is it going to ask for to verify the fact that the CS3 version (which was an upgrade) was based on a full retail version?
    The reason for all these questions is that I'm going to be upgrading from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit. I'd like to just install Photoshop CS5 and try it out, then order the upgrade to complete the install later. I'm concerned about an upgrade not being appropriate (1) and a need to install Photoshop CS3 completely and then run the update to CS5. If I have to do that, I may just install CS3 after my Windows upgrade.
    Thanks in advance for your responses. While I did see some questions about upgrading, I missed this exact scenario if it was previously posted.

    The upgrade process is really quite straightforward these days - even on a new box which has never previously had Adobe software installed.
    Upgrades are as good as full versions once installed. When installing upgrades, all that matters is that you have a serial number to an earlier qualifying version handy - Adobe has given up tracing this all the way back to your full version which could be up to 20 years ago. Upgrade serial numbers can only be verified by serial numbers up to 3 versions back anyway so Photoshop CS does not qualify for a CS5 upgrade.
    There's no need to install older versions on a new computer before installing the CS5 upgrade version. It's actually the full code on the disk regardless of whether you purchased a full version or an upgrade - the serial number tells the installer if you've bought an upgrade or full version license.
    When you enter your upgrade serial number for CS5, the installer will ask you to enter an earlier qualifying serial number (full or upgrade does not matter). I've successfully completed this exact scenario myself several times.
    The only caveat to the above is that there is a world of difference in licensing terms (and serial numbers) between a suite and a standalone version. If you install a CS5 suite trial then want to keep just the Photoshop component (and enter its serial number), you'll have to uninstall the entire suite first then install the upgrade version of standalone Photoshop CS5. Then enter your CS5 serial number then verify by entering your CS3 serial number.

  • Can I upgrade to CS5 from CS4 if CS4 is not on my computer?

    I downloaded CS4 from the internet and ran it on my computer until the computer crashed and I had to install a new hard drive. I now have CS4 on a backup disk ONLY, and it won't install from the disk for some reason. I get this error message:
    UI mode: Full GUI
    terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
      what():  Invalid path passed to FileSystemPath constructor.
    If I upgrade to CS5, does CS4 have to be on my new hard drive to do so? I DO have the registration number for my copy of CS4. I don't want to pay the full price for CS5 when I can pay for the upgrade only.
    Thanks!

    If you downloaded the CS4 product, then you can still access the download files from your Adobe account. Log in to your account and look under My Orders. (If you weren't able to deactivate the previous installation, you'll need assistance from a support agent before you can reinstall the CS4 software.)
    However, you don't need CS4 installed in order to install the upgrade. You do, however, need the CS4 serial number.

  • DW CS4 "cannot make connection to host" (since upgrade to CS4 from CS3)

    Recently updated from CS3 to CS4. (I had previously upgraded to OS 10.5, and everything was fine in CS3 under 10.5.)
    Everything looked OK in CS4 (I saw files in DW, but I did not try to connect to any hosts) so I wiped CS3.
    Later I noticed that the login and password for hosts had all been erased.
    When I put them in, they stay.
    BUT every single remote host gives me:
    "cannot make connection to host"
    Logging in using a numerical IP address instead of domain name does not help.
    Logging in with an FTP client (e.g. Fetch) works, though.
    Can anyone help me with this...??
    Mac under OS 10.5.7

    Wow. This is really painful. Has anyone tried to use Adobe technical/customer support lately?!  Bloody awful.
    I am on hold on my fifth call, right now.
    Four times I phoned in and had to explain everything all over again.
    Three times a representative said they would "escalate" the issue (which apparently means "trash-heap" it), and then call me back.
    Never did I get one call back.
    Before calling in I tried for two weeks to puzzle this out on my own.
    Now work is backing up and I STILL cannot use my copy of Dreamweaver.
    WTF, Adobe??

  • Procedure to upgrade to CS4 from CS3 without retaining CS3

    I am running 10.5.5 on a MacBook Pro. I now have Photoshop CS3 on the MBP. My Photoshop CS4 upgrade DVD just showed up in the mail, and I can't wait to use it.
    I would like to install CS4, retain the preferences and presets from CS3 (Photoshop, Bridge, Camera Raw), and get rid of CS3 from my hard drive.
    I was unable to find directions on the DVD, Adobe's site, or the forum. I found references to the importance of uninstalling CS3 first before installing CS4 (installing CS4 first and then uninstalling CS3 supposedly would remove some support files required by CS4 and require the reinstallation of CS4).
    But if I were to uninstall CS3 before installing CS4, how would the CS4 installer be able to find evidence of CS3 on my MBP, which I presume would be required for the upgrade to work? And, how would I be able to retain my preferences and presets from the Photoshop, Bridge, and Camera Raw in CS3?
    I realize from reading some of the posts here that some people prefer to have both CS3 and CS4 on their computers, and others want to only have CS4. I am in the latter camp.
    Thank you in advance for your help. I appreciate any advice or suggestions.

    I can't edit that but I will report what happen.
    It now appears I either logged in as a different user , did an archival reinstall of my system before install the CS programs or the installer will only allow you a one time install and you have either install everything or you have to install all the CS3 programs you intend with that one install.
    That would mean I have uninstall the one of the programs of CS3 I have installed and reinstall that and photoshop CS3 at the same time.
    Though CS4 install is much more robust there should be a way to install the last version as well. Eventually there will be no disk or even a download but there has to be a formula and reasonable policy for uses who need to use the current as well as the older version of Adobe software.
    However no matter how or why this eventually manifest itself it does and I think it should not.

  • Free upgrade to CS4 from CS3.3?

    Hi,
    I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium and am thinking about upgrading to CS4 when it comes out.
    However I have noticed some sites advertising Free upgrade to CS4 if you purchase the upgrade to CS3.3. Is this free upgrade to CS4 valid if I upgrade from CS3 to CS3.3 now? As I read somewhere it is only valid if you are upgrading from an earlier version?
    Or, if I upgraded from CS3 design premium to CS3.3 master collection, would that allow me to get the free upgrade to CS 4 Master Collection?
    Thanks,
    Nellie

    Dear Bob,
    I have a difficulty to understand what you are writing.
    First you write that the release of Acrobat 9 would be a red flag... I guess you mean that if Adobe extend a suite with additional software this means that another Suite is close? I understood it to be a intermediate release in order to keep customers happy until a new release was ready, but that period would be long and therefore the intermediate release was necessary. As of today I understand that you and Adobe have a better consensus in this matter.
    Why did we not need CS3 for 17 months? Well if you read my posts you would have noticed that we have had Design Premium CS3 since release but things change in the world and with a new employee needing Master Collection to correspond to new prospect customer demand we had to purchase a new seat. However, to find out upon opening the box that CS4 is launched and that our new customer was going for that release, whereas we had paid full price for an obselete software, thereby loosing customer(not yet though, lets hope Adobe and we come to a agreement), unless we pay another 1k doesn't make us happy.
    If we had got the info that CS4 was close we wouldn't have purchased CS3.3 since we then would have the possibilty to discuss the matter with our prospect customer and both could have waited for CS4 release. Meanwhile we could have handled shortterm stuff with our CS3 Design P.
    How to handle this in the future. Well either we all users have to continue our search on internet and on forums to find out what the rumour is...
    ... or Adobe put progress reports on their official website about next release planned in x months. I write planned since I understand that writing software usually takes more time than planned, but at least it should not come to a situation where a release is launched earlier than the rumour in forums etc.
    Any other suggestions to Adobe how to handle releases?

  • Upgrade to CS5 from CS4 Performance issues

    This was originally posted in the Creative Suites section.  Bob Levine suggested I try a specific program forum to get better attention.  It has been a present performance problem for me with Premier Pro and Photoshop so I shall try here.
    I have been using CS4 for several months on a new i7 quad 64bit PC with 4 x 1TB HDs and 12GB RAM.  When I use Photoshop or P.Pro, the performance is fast for several operations but slows down as I progress to a snail pace.  At times, I have rebooted the PC to get up to speed again.  I do not know if this is a problem with the CS4 32 bit program working on a 64 bit machine, even with Photoshop.  Perhaps I am clicking too fast.  If I install the source file on a separate drive to the C drive and send the output file to a third drive, performance improves as expected.  Perhaps timing within/between drives and the 32 bit program may be a problem on a 64 bit PC.  I have ordered an upgrade to CS5 hoping that a 64 bit program will provide better performance on the 64 bit PC.  Naturally the PC performance is expected to be faster, but will the performance that slows down to a snail pace improve?

    Thank you all for your information.
    I am beginning to imagine that because of the increased speed in dealing with data, an i7 quad 64 bit PC has a challenging time to switch and route the stream of data to the various processing and temporary/permanent storage locations.  It could be that dealing with 32 bit data for the demands of video editing compounds the problem.  I may have one or several slower components in the new PC.  In anycase, I am hoping that dealing directly with 64 bits will improve the performance.  If this does not and without further suggestions from the forum, I will have the performance of the PC components thoroughly tested for compliance to the required speed specifications.

  • Looking to upgrade to Leopard from Panther; any thoughts?

    Hello to all, this is my second post, so please bear with me if it sounds silly:
    I have a late 2004 iMac Power PCG5, 20inch display, 1.8GHz, 2GB RAM, running Panther 10.3.9.
    I am looking to possibly buy a few iPhones for the wife and I and I know that system requirements are 10.4.1 or higher. Since I cannot get Tiger anymore, I need to buy Leopard.
    My computer runs smoothly, no problems, I have always kept up on software updates. Heck, we have only used like 30GB of the 160GB hard drive!
    My question(s)- has anyone experienced any problems doing this kind of jump from Panther to Leopard? Known issues? I really appreciate any and all input.... I would rather not have to buy a new computer just to simply get Leopard 10.5.
    I just would like to hear some reassurances or downsides before I spend $129 for Leopard.
    Thanks in advance,

    Drumfreak 68
    2nd post for me as well.I just installed leopard on my imac.I had the same type of concerns as you.My wife is a part time college teacher,very important I have no issues with upgrading OS. I spent 6 months reading these forums.I've learned so much.
    I upgraded to Leopard from tiger in the following manner.Every thing I did I read on these forums.
    I purchased 2 external hd. The first is a 1 TB with the plan to use as a time machine disk after transition.The 2nd was a 320g that I partioned in half.I cloned my internal hd to both external hds,using superduper {fantastic program for 27$] I installed Leopard on the 2nd partition of the 320 gig hd.I booted from and ran computer from both external tiger volumnes for about a week.I booted the computer from the Leopard partition of the 320 Ex. Hd.I ran the computer from the leopard partition for the same time frame.I ran every app, that I could think of that my family uses . I had no issues at all.When I was happy with everything,I then used superduper to clone my external leopard to my internal.I will keep my tiger clone until i am confident that I have all the files moved.

  • Just upgraded to PS CS5 from CS3 and LR will not recognize CS5 as external editor

    I just upgraded from PS CS3 to CS5 then uninstalled CS3.  LR 2.7 is not recognizing PS (CS5) as the default external editor and I don't get the "edit as smart object in PS", "Open as layers in Photoshop", etc… options  when I right-click an image and select "edit in" as they are now greyed out.  I've tried to repair LR and reinstall but nothing makes it recognize PS CS5 as the default external editor.  Any ideas?  Thx in advance.

    I ended up reinstalling CS5 and that solved the problem with one exception.  It is now the default external editor and I have the option to export to PS as a smart object - However, I do not have the options to export to PS in layers or export to PS as Photomerge or Export to PS as HDR.  I did have these options with CS3.
