Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop 2014 CC -- Do I delete CS6 from my system?

I have owned Photoshop since version 3.0 and have always kept it up to date. When the subscription version of Creative Cloud became available, I switched to that and the CC kept my CS6 version up to date. Now, CC has it's own version, but continues to show that it is updating my CS6 version. I do understand the differences between 2014 CC and CS6...so that is not my question.
My questions are,
Should I, at this point, be deleting all my CS6 software from my computer even though I own these versions?
Is any of my licensing tied to the CC version?
Is there a value to keeping the CS6 versions?
Thank you.

CS6 and CC and CC 2014 are all separate, independent applications and can reside on the same computer. If you used CS6 to upgrade to CC, you don't need to keep CS6 installed, but you may need the serial key if you need to reinstall CC.
I would wait until you are absolutely sure that all works OK for you in the new version and that you don't need any of the removed features before uninstalling anything.

What exactly means "refuses"?
This is the message which comes up if I try to update (from the Help menu) or re-install my licenced copies of CS6 or Photoshop Elements 9.
“We've encountered the following issues

on trying to open PhotoshopCS6 I get this message:-

When I follow these instructions and try and start up/install or update Photoshop CS6 I get the same messages all over again. This has been going on since Tuesday afternoon and I am anxiuous to resolve the problem. For several years now all this has worked perfectly through your website and I cannot understand what has changed. Once I cancel these messages the products themselves seem to function OK. When I attempt to use Adobe Update Manager I get the same messages as above. You will see that my products are properly licensed and up to date. Have you any solution?

Hi Luciebiss,
Photoshop is a professional tool used throughout many industries as the standard for digital image manipulation and painting. It has very rich, and often complex, tools and options. As such, it comes with a professional price tag.
Photoshop Elements is a consumer product. It's made for users who don't need as many features and complex options. It has a simpler design, guided workflows, and an organizer to help you manage your files.

CC shows two versions of Photoshop: Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC (2014)

My CC subscription shows two versions of Photoshop. I tried to open both versions. Photoshop CC opened, Photoshop CC (2014) would not. I deleted it. Now CC shows one update available: Photoshop CC (2014). Anyone know what CC is doing?

John,
Thank you. Your guidance was spot on.
The following comment is for Adobe:
We have all seen the transition over time of the way software updates happen. I remember virus programs doing things like:
     It has been two weeks since I checked for updated virus signatures. Shall I check now? Yes
     There is a new virus signature available. Shall I download it? Yes
     I have downloaded the new virus signature. Shall I install it? Yes
     I have installed the new virus signature, but must restart the virus program to use it. Shall I do that? Yes
     I have rebooted the virus program and all is fine. OK.
I was really enjoying how Adobe would update the versions of their products in the Creative Cloud, and waiting for the day I'd have to trigger the activity. What I'd like is for Adobe to just do it. The way Apple has sort of standardized app updating is that you can adjust a setting and it will install updates automatically. Many vendors have a "What's new" screen that opens the first time after upgrading so you can see what's new. In the case when your concurrence is needed before installation, the upgrade is downloaded in the background and some descriptive information is provided so you can decide if you want to do it (this is typically for IOS major upgrades).
Adobe didn't handle the Photoshop CC to Photoshop CC (2014) well. I was very happy to lose the designator of which version I have. The version I want is: Latest. The two versions appeared (Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC (2014)) without explanation. John's instructions (above) indicated that you need to uninstall Photoshop CC, shut down and then restart the Creative Cloud App, then download and install the new version. Why did I have to go through a forum entry when Adobe could have simply put a line under Photoshop CC (2014) that said "Important: read this" and then provided an explanation of what's going on and how to do it. (BTW, that is a mediocre solution. The right solution would be to tell you what's up and then give you the option to click on a button which would have triggered all the steps to replace one version with the other.)
So, bottom line, I have never been an Adobe fan. I moved to Lightroom because of the Photography special offer and I am hooked. Updating Lightroom to support iPads and iPhones was just super. My expectations soared. This update didn't meet them.
But, have a nice day anyway!

Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CS6 CC simultaneity

Is is possible to run Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop-CS6 CC simultaneously in the same computer?
For instance PSSC6 for batch processing and PSSC6-CC for image editing?

You can run the 32bit and 64bit versions simulatanously just as you can of course run PS CS6 and PS CC at the same time, but you cannot run 2 instances of PS CS6 32bit at the same time for instance. That is not without some geek magic that isolates the processes from one another like using a virtual machine...

Who really needs both Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC(2014)

Who really needs both Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC(2014). Which is newest ?

CC 2014 is the newer version. Regarding having both versions; when Adobe releases a new version with many additions and upgrades they quite often introduce lovely new bugs. So it's often nice to be able to keep the old version for a while until you can make sure that the new version works as its supposed to. Maybe not so often the case with Photoshop, but VERY useful with some other programs ... like *cough*... Premiere Pro!

I have both Photoshop 4 and Photoshop 6 on my computer. When I am in Bridge and want to open an image by double clicking, it automatically opens in 6. I see, when I go to "open with" 6 is listed as "default" How can I change the default to open an image with a double click in 4?

You can associate files from the Bridge level and the Desktop level.
In Bridge CS4, go to Preferences > File Type Associations and change it to Photoshop CS4 for the file types you want.
If you want to open files from the Windows Desktop in CS4, these are the instructions:
Do this from the Windows Desktop:
If you want your image file to open in Photoshop and it doesn't, right click on it and choose

I own both Photoshop Elements and Photoshop (the original editor). I find the elements editor to be too cumbersome to use and would just like to edit using Photoshop. When I try to install Photoshop as a secondary editor in elements I get an error message that I don't need to this because it is already supported on the edit menu and task bar. I can not find any way to send images to Photoshop for editing - all I can do is send them to elements editor or the premier editor. Can someone tell me how to send them to Photoshop? Thanks!

Hi,
The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.

Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

Why do I have both photoshop cc and photoshop cc (64 bit) in my menu? Which one should I be using?

The majority of the time using the 64 bit version is better, since you have more resources available (ram)
If you need to run some older third party plugins that were only ever offered as 32 bit plugins, then the 32 bit version is the choice.
Or if you happen to use a scanner with twain, then the 32 bit version.

Product information - photoshop elements and photoshop cc

Dear Sirs!
My brother (student - polytechnical school) and I (Student - university) are very interested in your products
Photoshop CC and Photoshop Elements 13.
What would you recommend and what are the distinctions? Would there be a possibilty to buy one of this two products once for 2-3 laptops/PCs
and in the Student and Teacher Edition? (no monthly subscription)
Thank you very much in advance for your kindly help!!
Kind regards
Kerstin

Could you clarify...what is not opening - Photoshop Elements AND Premiere Elements or just one or the other?
How did you install these programs, from installation files obtained online from Adobe OR from installation disc from a boxed bundled packaging of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements? Do you have purchased serial numbers or are you dealing with the tryouts?
Please excuse the question, but I do not want to take anything for granted...are you making a distinction between download and install if you are working from installation files obtained onlien from Adobe. In the latter case, after the download, you need to install the program(s) from the Setup.exe that comes with each of the programs.
Please supply more information and then we can decide on the appropriate troubleshooting strategy.
Thanks.
