Photoshop CS6 in Mavericks sometimes forgets where it is

My system is a new Mac Pro ("iCan" version) running Mavericks. I installed CS6 Production Premium from DVD as a full, clean install using all default settings. None of my other apps seem to exhibit the following behavior:
I have the Ps icon in my dock. When I "open using" an image, frequently a second icon appears on my dock instead of using the existing one. Also, if I open Ps using the dock icon, load an image, then "open using" a different image, a second instance of Ps opens instead of the image opening in the currently-open instance of Ps.
Also, every now and then when I open Ps it says the app has moved.
This was not a migration of any kind, it was a clean default install onto a new machine from the original DVD. As I noted, none of my other CS6 apps appear to do this, only Ps.
Should I uninstall Ps and re-install? Uninstall and clean out the whole CS6 installation? Something less drastic?
Many thanks in advance.

Okay, I believe I've found the problem. I have an external drive connected, onto which I peridiocally back up my whole system drive using Carbon Copy Cloner. I uninstalled Ps and then as a test tried to open a .psd image, and Mavericks went to the cloned installation. Having a second installation where Mavericks can see it is causing confusion.
Hope this helps someone.

Photoshop CS6 free trial download

I just downloaded Dreamweaver CS6 free trial. My first assignment wants me to work in Adobe Bridge...so I need Photoshop CS6. Does anyone know where I can download the free trials without all the garbage, tool bars, etc....I've been at this for hours. I've downloaded and removed so much extra junk and still can't get ps CS6. I started out with everything new CC, but my web design class is working with the CS6 book and programs, so those are the ones I must use.

I had to uninstall my CC programs because they were not CS6. So, I am still a Creative Cloud member, but do not have any of their programs installed. I do have Dreamweaver CS6, just need the Photoshop CS6 so I can do Chapter 1 and Chapter 4 in Adobe Dreamweaver assignment. CC screwed up all my websites and I have to start all over. I just need a working link to Photoshop CS6 without all the baloney....cause none of those downloads got me psCS6, just a bunch of junk that I don't need taking up space on my computer

Is Photoshop CS6 different from CS5?

I recently went back to school to expand my career skills and the next class in line for me, is Photoshop. I’m trying to find out if I’m OK with CS5 or if I need to upgrade to CS6. As I just mentioned, I currently have CS5. For a couple classes I completed this year (Flash and Dreamweaver), I was able to use CS5 without any issue, limitations, or instances of “Yeah that can be done, but only on CS6.” I also did not have instances in the class lessons of “You can do this, but not if you’re on CS5.” However, from what I heard/read, Photoshop seems to have had the most significant changes in the CS6 update.
Here are my questions:
Please, from a technical perspective only, do I need to upgrade to CS6? Will being on CS5 on my home computer put me at a disadvantage in class when I'm being taught via CS6? Is Photoshop CS6 significantly different from CS5 where if being taught via CS6, I would be lost or very limited on CS5? When you upgraded to CS6 did you feel like you were learning a new program, or was it the same as CS5, just with a few new “nice to have” features?
Again, please provide information from a technical perspective only. If the decision to spend $2000 for CS6, was based on preference, I would have had CS6 a long time ago. Also, please don’t recommend CC because I’m not ready to upgrade to subscription based software yet.
Thanks!

Have you tried running the trial version of CS6 for 30 days to get a feel for the software and perhaps answer for yourself the many questions you obviously have?

Photoshop CS6 goes crazy on my second monitor now I have updated to Mavericks

I've had a look around to see if anyone if having the same issues but haven't come across anything to help yet.
When I updated to mavericks my java installation disappeared & so Dreamweaver wouldn't work. Now I've installed jdk-7u51-macosx-x64.dmg & it's working again.
However now I'm seeing an issue with Photoshop CS6 when I drag it across to my second monitor- see image below
The only way I've found to get rid of this weirdness is to drag the screen back to the primary screen and wait for it to settle. Dragging the screen in itself is really laggy & I can sometimes manage to get it to appear normally on my second screen if I wait a bit or wiggle it around. But this time I can't even get the window to appear on my screen at all. It's as if the programme isn't open any more. But if I select 'show windows' I can see it is still open & still flashing with the mess shown in the image below.
Really quite frustrated with Apple about this, now I can't brag as much about how amazing macs are compared to PCs!!
Help?!?

The Mavericks Mac I'm writing on still has CS6 on it so I'll see if it happens to me when I'm near my desktop monitor.
Well, I just tried moving the Photoshop CS6 window around between two monitors in Mavericks and didn't get the same problem, so I really don't know what the problem is. But you could try asking at the actual Photoshop user forum since they'll know better questions to ask than we would in this forum.

Mavericks, Photoshop CS6 problem

Here is a question.
I have
iMac (27-inch, Late 2009)
          iMac - model: iMac11,1
          1 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 CPU: 4 cores
          16 GB RAM
and
          Apple Cinema Display
When I have TWO files open in TWO SEPARATE display and use the option key in Photoshop CS6 (any Photoshop) to MASK the layer, WHY IT JUMP FROM ONE FILE TO ANOTHER (from one screen to another)??
Guess what, I use this option for the last 15 years...
Can you help me with that?

You don't need CS6 for that,
Anyway, when you copy the layer (Command J), then do any adjustments...then you point your cursor at the bottom of the layers where you have little icons: 'Add the layer style', 'Add the layer mask', 'Create new fill or adjustment layer', etc.
So you point the cursor at the 'Add the layer mask' icon, hold 'option' key and click on that icon, and here we go, you have the mask (in any Photoshop)
Now, again...when you have two monitors and two files, you are working on one of them and keep the other as a reference. So when you click your mask, it goes to the reference image...How wierd is that??
I'm so tired of Mavericks problems, everything is a problem, starting with Photoshop, Firefox - any internet browser is slow...
Please tell me, do I have to go 15 years back to Windows again??
My productive time now is 50 % slower because I have to fix Mavericks problems...
This is third week that I have no positive results!
Thx
when I do this, I get a black mask (instead of the default white one)... The project I'm working on doesn't switch.
I don't work the way you do, and always have PS in the application frame, which I can then tile all active projects in it (in references to you having a reference image and a working image).
It's not a Mavericks issue, it's a user issue. have you tried to update CS6?

Photoshop CS6 UNWORKABLE on Mavericks!

Hello fellow "apples"
I've a late 2012 Macbook Pro (non retina) with 2,6 GHz i7 8GB Ram and 750HDD
Since i've updated the OS to mavericks yesterday I've been struggling with photoshop CS6, it can work just fine for a minute to completely freeze for a few or even 10 or so seconds ( sometimes even more ) until it will respond. This issue had not existed in Mountain Lion. I've also noticed that the sound voulume bar can be laggy, it jumps a few dots instead of steady increments .
Now i'm an artist not a tech guy, but my guess will be it has something to do with the new memory allocation thing, anyhow it made my life really difficult as i cannot work in PS anymore, and that's a serious stab... Someone should fix that really fast as being a freelance artist and illustrator I've lost a tool that gets the food on my table, if we won't get a fix asap some heads should roll.... :/

this solved my small issues.

Where I can find SN in an already packaged Photoshop CS6?

Hi guys,
my problem sounds like this: I'm a software packager and I must package Photoshop CS6. I've received from someone an already packaged application - it was packaged using Adobe's tools.
I've asked for the original source files and serial number and he said they don't have them any more - they are using what they gave me and they thought they don't need other files.
The idea is that I need to see what serial number was used to package the application (to see when it is expiring, what kind of license is, etc.).
Does anyone knows where it can be found? Or if there is a file containing the serial number?
Thank you!
Best regards!

Find your serial number quickly
if it's a win ps cs6 and it's installed, you can use belarc advisor to recover the sn, Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit, for software, hardware and security configuration information on your computer.…

Where can i find a dutch manual for photoshop cs6

Hi,
I'm trying to find the dutch manual for Photoshop CS6.
There is a hyperlink available on this page Help bij Photoshop | Archief called Help bij Adobe Photoshop CS5 (PDF), but if I follow this I end up on an "error page" in English telling me that the requested page isn't available.
Can someone provide me with this PDF-file please?
I can download this PDF in English, but it would be so much easier for me to read and understand the subject matter in Dutch.
So, is there anybody out there who can send it to me?
Thanks!
Michael

I am unable to reinstall Photoshop CS6 (I do have the serial number) on my Macbook Pro 10.9.5 (Mavericks os). and am getting the message "Installation on case-sensitive volumes is not supported. Please choose a different volume for installation." I am further told that "Adobe apps cannot be installed on case-sensitive drives, you need to Install the product onto an HFS+ or HFSJ non-case-sensitive drive."
What I don't understand is this: I originally bought and installed Photoshop CS6 back in March 2013, and it worked fine. Yesterday my hard drive had to be replaced and my computer person salvaged as much of what was on it as he could, but now I have to reinstall Photoshop. 1) Why did it work before and it's not working now? 2) Is there anything I can do that does not involve reformatting the hard drive?

It means what it says. The "computer person" formatted it wrongly/ unsuitably. it needs to be formatted again.

Hi Can anyone please tell me from where I can download the Photoshop CS6 program I purchased a download (media less) some 2 years ago and all has been OK up to know but I am know having issues and would like to uninstall and reinstall. I have the relevant codes and activation keys but would need to be sure I can obtain the program again before I start. Thank you

Make sure you are dealing with the correct product for the serial number. If the serial number is for a full creative suite then you need to get the suite, not the individual application, and vice versa.
Unrelated to that, in case it helps, here is a link to another site. You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

Is it possible to install Photoshop CS6 on Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks?

Hi, I want to buy Photoshop CS6 but I'm not sure if it's possible to install it on Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks).
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance,

Yes, I'm running both CS6 and CC here on Mavericks. No issues.

Help, where are the render preferences in Adobe Photoshop CS6

Okay, I admitt, .... I am an idiot that is new to Adobe Photoshop.
But help the new girl out, here.... Please...
Where are the render preferences in Adobe Photoshop Extended CS6.
I searched Adobe Help in Dutch already but they point me towards options that doesn't excist.
Maybe they were there in Adobe CS5 and I am reading an older version of the documentation...
But in CS6 I can only find the option Render and no Render Preferences...
Thanks !!

Adobe changed the way video is rendered in CS6. Adobe Media Encoder in now used in CS6 only a subset of the Adobe's full Adobe Media Encoder is included in CS6 is a dll. I do not think you can add new Rendering Presets however you can change some setting when you use the supplied Reddening Presets. Perhaps if you have the Adobe suite and have the full Adobe Media Encoder you can create some presets and add them to Photoshop Rendering presets. I seem some compliants about CS6 Quicktime rendering presets lack the power of CS5. The Rendering presets seem to be stored in sub folders in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets\Video\Adobe Media Encoder" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Video\Adobe Media Encoder"

Where is the "stroke options panel" in Photoshop CS6?

Where is the "stroke options panel" in Photoshop CS6? It used to be right above the layers palette in older versions of Photoshop but now it's gone. I'v been trying to find it for an hour and a half and it doesn't seem to be in any of the menus.

If you're looking for the Stroke options of a layer, you can find that by clicking the layer you have a stroke on or wish to have a stroke on, and then clicking the fx icon in the bottom of the layers panel:
And it will open the Stroke options for that layer.
Another option is by clicking Edit at the top menu, and then choosing "Stroke..." (make sure you have a layer selected).
It will then bring up a window with Stroke options on it for that layer:
I hope this helps! Let me know if you need further assistance!
