Can I remove photoshop cs2 after I have upgraded from cs2 to cs5?

Can I remove Photoshop CS2 after I have upgraded from CS2 to CS5? I upgraded from CS2 to CS5 quite a while ago and I have never removed CS2. Will it affect CS5 to remove the old CS2 if it was an upgrade?

If I were you I would just delete the installed Adobe CS2 folder. Adobe CS2 uninstaller my remove settind CS5 made to your system after CS2. The CS2 uninstaller may try to restore settings to a point in time where there was no Photoshop installed on your system. If you do a CS un-install you may need to then Install CS5 on top of itself the update cs5 for the install will not have the updates you will be back at CS5 level .

Photoshop CS2 Education to CS4 Upgrade?

I have Photoshop CS2 Education edition. Would I be able to buy the Regular CS4 Upgrade without any problems?

"There's no such thing as an educational-price upgrade, but your education version qualifies for the regular upgrade. "
www.studica.com sells educational versions of software. The cost for an enrolled university student is equivalent to the commercial upgrade for PS CS4 - so there is no gain by a previous PS owner in purchasing an educational version - other than to have two independent versions of PS.

Photoshop CS2 buggy after OS upgrade

I recently upgraded to 10.5.6, and simple moves in photoshop are 'buggy'.
Undo, copy, paste, zoom won't work at times. Very frustrating. I've dumped the prefs and updated patches to Photoshop 10.0.1. Is this happening to anyone else? Any suggestions?

That's why Adobe does not support CS2 in Leopard. What you get is what you get.
CS2 is version 9

Photoshop CS2, Mac version, filter does not show

Hello,
I m compiling Dissolve sample plugin for photoshop CS series.
I succeed to compile CS3 and CS4 version since there is a xcode project.
I can see the plugin in the filter menu after I launch photoshop.
It works perfectly.
BUT, as for the CS2 version, I succeeded to compile it by changing CS4 sample project... But I could not get it to show in the filter menu.
The sample project is codewarrior based, so i cannot use it.
I m using Mac OS 10.5 and xcode3.
Any sample project to compile CS2 filter around?
Thanks in advance

xcode produce only MachO binaries, and CS2 recognize only PEF
From AdobeSDK FAQ:
--- begin ---
3.1.4.7 I want to have one plug-in for CS1, CS2 and CS3
That is a tricky problem that we have not yet found a great solution to. The main problem is that CS1 only sees PEF, CS2 & CS3 see both PEF & Mach-O on PPC, and of course CS3 on Intel only sees Mach-O. The problem occurs when CS2 or CS3 see both the PEF and Mach-O versions and cant decide which to use. Since you can't even build for CS1 from Xcode I'd suggest you at least keep them as separate installs, even if they are shipped together. How you sell and support of course is up to you.
--- end ---
IMHO, there is error in doc -- CS2 can't see Mach-O version, only PEF (exactly as CS1) -- at least in my tests.

Photoshop CS2 Cannot read PNG files--"Not Enough Memory"

Hi! I have a bit of a problem. I've scoured the interwebs for days but can't find a solution.
My copy of PSCS2 was able to open PNGs in the past, but it just up and decided it doesn't want to anymore. I'm serious--I can't think of any major overhaul or anything I did to cause it, but now it won't read them correctly. It says there's "not enough memory," which doesn't really make sense, when I have a Macbook Pro and nothing running in the background. On top of that, the particular files I've been trying to open are barely 100kb. I've used canvases upwards of ten thousand square pixels in dimension with no problem.
This is with any PNG file. It's not an "incorrect extension" problem, because I made these files and just need to reopen them to edit things.
Here are some screenshots that show what's been happening; nothing exciting, but just in case someone notices something I don't:
That's the picture I want to open.
And that's what pops up.
:/ I'm a little dumbfounded. Halp?

Now, this is strange.
I restarted my computer and now the message has changed--to a simple one, but albeit still confusing.
Sigh.
I didn't do anything but restart my computer.

Adobe Photoshop CS2 Install

I am attempting to install Adobe Photoshop CS2, I know it is an old version, but I am unable to upgrade at this time. However, I have the full version of Adobe Photoshop CS2, and when I run the install it states that it is looking for a previous version of Photoshop. I have verified that this is not an upgrade only cd. Please advise.

Thanks for trying to help out guys but after hours of toying with this thing it finally hit me like a brick wall. I found a work around.
For anyone that may run into this issue in the future:
When you run the Adobe Photoshop CS2 install and it will not let you install due to looking for previous versions
Install Adoby Photoshop CS2 as the 30 day trial, which will install without any issues.
After the installation is completed then ender the serial number manually after that.
Not sure why it has to be a PITA about it, but it works.

Error: "Could not complete your request because of a program error" (photoshop CS2 9.0.2 on MAC OSX

Today I started my program (photoshop CS2 9.0.2) and opened a JPG file. When I went to print the file the program crashed and closed. When I restarted the program and went to open the file I got this error message, "Could not complete your request because of a program error".
I have tried several different file types/sizes and all result in the same error message since the program crashed. It will not open any file I try to open. As I indicated above I am using Photoshop CS2 9.0.2 it is on a MAC with OSX 10.4.11.
I called Adobe and the Rep directed me to Tech Note 331307 and told me to Re-create the Photoshop preferences files. Which I did and restarted the program, but when I tried to open a file (any file) I still get the same error message so it doesn't appear to be the preferences.
Does anyone have any info as to what the problem may be and how to correct it.
Thanks

Thanks for the response. OK... This is the first day I have been able to get back to the problem.
My system I am running Photoshop on is a Power Mac G4, AGP Graphics ATY Rage 128Pro chip set 16MB VRAM LCD 1280x1024 32-bit color, 500MHz, 1.75GB of memory, 1 MB L2 Cache, 100 MHz Bus Speed. I had installed the latest security update and repaired the permissions the day the problem started.
Now to day I started the system and went in and created a Guest Account. I logged into the guest account and started Photoshop. Low and behold it worked just fine. So I logged out of guest and logged into my main user account And started Photoshop. Wouldn't you know it.... It works just fine. I can open any file I want with now problems.
I got to thinking after I had done all of this that I wished I had tried to open a file in Photoshop today prior to creating the guest account to see if it still had the problem in my main user account.
I did not change anything else on the system and all seems to work fine now. So at his point I am really not sure what the problem was.
Again thanks for taking the time to respond to this issue.

Photoshop CS2 not working after 10.6.7 update? program error!

Could not complete your request because of a program error. I opened an image RGB and wanted to save it as a CMYK.
Save as and entered new name... thats it! Then the error popped up. The only thing that has changed is the update!
Please help.

If you updated to 10.6.7 then you should (go to your Apple menu at the far left and) check for updates.
There was a problem with some types of Fonts that has been fixed by the Snow Leopard Font update:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1377
However, always wait after an OS update (true of Windows too) and see if it causes any problems with 3rd-party software, etc. - PRIOR to updating your system And always, always have a full, known-good backup before you update. Especially for any computer that is used for business purposes !
Last but definitely not least, you should know that Adobe CS2 is a Power-PC only application (circa G4 and G5 processors, before Apple moved to Intel processors), and requires Rosetta (PowerPC emulation).
So you should consider any CS2 application running at all, as fairly miraculous.
CS3 was released four years ago, and provided the first Intel-native ("Universal Binary") versions of the CS-suite applications.
Mac OS 10.6 only runs on Intel-based Macs (ie: Intel processor required).
If you are using Photoshop CS2 for any revenue-generating purposes, then it is (and was) incumbent upon you to properly allocate and budget for
upgrades and you should - nay, must - be running a more current version of the software. If your budget does not allow for newer Adobe CS, then you should have kept a legacy system that can run an older Mac OS, and understand that your workflow is living on borrowed time - and you had best keep several old Macs that can still run an older Mac OS and run your CS2 natively.
In no way shape or form is CS2 supported under Mac OS X 10.6 - certainly not in any official way by Adobe !
You could also be irate about not being able to use your 8-track tape player in your brand new car. I'm exaggerating but not too much.
Please read Adobe's response regarding CS3 (not CS2) and 10.6/Snow Leopard:
http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2009/08/adobe_snow_leopard_faq.html
With all of this in mind, you should know that your frustrations with Apple and the unsupported and not-recommended interaction of CS2 and 10.6 are misguided. Best of luck to you !

Photoshop CS2 Upgrade Installation Problems w/ Vista Problems

I recently purchased a new laptop w/ Windows Vista which I'm trying to install my copy of Photoshop CS2 onto. My Photoshop license is an upgrade license ... originally upgraded from Photoshop v4.0.
When installing an upgrade copy of PS CS2, it requires proof of your previous version in order to verify you're a legitimate upgrader. This works fine if you're upgrading from a version of Photoshop after 5.x ...you simply insert your CD and the installation continues. The installation process is less straight-forward for users like myself ... installing from an upgraded version prior to 5. I'm required to call Adobe ... and conduct a phone verification procedure where I give them a code displayed on the screen during installation and they give me a response code to type into the installation form.
I deauthorized my old laptop ... start the installation routine on my new laptop ... call Adobe w/ my verification code ... enter the response code (which is accepted) and complete the installation without any problems. My problem occurs when I go to run the software. The startup screen indicates that the software is still in "Tryout Mode", and the first window I'm presented with is the "Adobe Activation" window requesting my serial number. If I try to enter my CS2 serial number it is rejected with the message:
"You must enter a valid serial number before activating online or viewing activation options. Please check your serial number and re-enter it, or click the Purchase button to buy a copy of this product"
The thing is ... this IS a valid serial number. I've confirmed this with Adobe. (It's probably an upgrade serial number, which is why the software is rejecting it). I called Adobe and they're now telling me that I must enter a paid-support agreement in order to receive help installing my software. They claim their software is working correctly, and it must be a problem with my computer.
Has anybody experienced a problem like this? I refuse to pay more for something that worked fine on XP just to use it on Vista due to bugs in their installation and activation routine.

Have the bugs of using with Vista been fixed, or still not working? thanks,
I know this is an old problem, but surely there is an answer to fix the problem by now...
What problems? I used Photoshop CS2 with Vista with no problems (I still have it installed on a Vista system if you'd like me to check anything in particular). CS3 and CS4 worked well as well. Haven't tried CS5 on Vista as I have moved up to Windows 7, but I suspect it works just fine.

How to install Adobe Photoshop CS5 upgrade to Lion 10.7 if I have Adobe Photoshop CS2?

I recently upgraded to a new Macboook Pro and with that upgrade am using Lion version 10.7. On my previous MBP I had Snow Leopard installed. Also had Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS2 installed on that and then later upgraded to CS5 on that machine. Now with Lion I am unable to do that. I aware of the technical hurdle.....Lion does not support Rosetta or PowerPC applications and therefore I cannot load CS2 on there initially and then upgrade to CS5. So does this mean that I am screwed unless I buy a full version of Photoshop and Illustrator CS5 to put on Lion? Or is there a workaround?
I still have the old MBP so I could migrate all the files from the old computer to the new computer. Short of that is there any other workaround? If I gave the serial numbers of CS2 and the CS5 upgrade to a rep at Adobe could they unlock CS5 for me so that I can download it to my new MBP?
On another note does anyone think about backward compatibility anymore? Has Apple totally lost its mind? And will Adobe cash in on this opportunity? Is it too much to ask for a representative from Adobe to get back to you after posting your callback number? Customer service does not exist.....its is unprofitable to actually "serve" customer because a customer is a tool to be exploited as are all resources in a corporation.
This is American corporatism at its finest. You have a software monopoly with Adobe on one hand along with a computer manufacture that is not competent enough to produce a backward compatible operating system. If these companies operated for the consumers benefit they would be out of business.
There is no way I'm paying for a new version of the Adobe software. Surely someone can understand my frustration and that this frustration is be being echoed by hundreds of users. But apparently we are stupid right? We are stupid because we just want to be able to smoothly transfer stuff that we have paid so much for to a new operating system but cannot. And thats because on a whim it all changes.

Shaidipur when you install Photoshop CS 5 it will request your qualifying serial number. Assuming you purchased the proper update simply type in your Photoshop CS2 serial number.
In regards to compatability I believe their is a maximize compatibility option within Photoshop. For further details I would recommend posting your question into the Photoshop forum.

? Why does my Photoshop PS2 open on my Mac Book Pro OS 10.6.8 Intel Core 2 Processor but not on my just purchased Mac Book Pro OS 10.7.3? On my new machine I get a message saying "You can't open Photoshop CS2 because Power PC applications are no longer supported". I don't have a Power PC on either machine and this App does run on the older machine with an Intel processor. benrusy

This is not new. The fact that Mac OS no longer supports PowerPC applications starting with OS X Lion has been known for over a year now. You'll need to upgrade to the latest version of Photoshop
