Photoshop for Windows

Hi, I'm new to this so I apologize if this has been asked before. I am finally buying a Mac Book Pro now that the price has dropped and I have some money. My question is, Will I be able to run Photoshop through Parallels or VMware? Will there be a huge performance loss if I do? I already have Photoshop CS3 (windows) and was planning on buying the upgrade to CS4. It will be a whole lot cheaper than buying a full copy again for the Mac. Thanks in advance...

Will I be able to run Photoshop through Parallels or VMware?
Yes
ill there be a huge performance loss if I do?
Possibly. Boot Camp is the preferred way to run processor intensive apps and games such as PS.

    A creative Cloud membership provides you with the ability to have installations on different platforms, Windows and Mac.  And since you are allowed to have two working installations, you can have one of each.

  • I have Adobe CS4 Photoshop for Windows (PN 65015634 - from 2008) -- Can anyone let me know if this is compatible with Windows 7??  Thanks!!

    Many and sincere thanks!!

    You need to have your computer looked at for upgrading and evaluate your third party hardware, software and files.
    To fix your issue is too complicated and lengthy to go into all of it here, it will require the services of person very familiar and experienced with Mac's to first recover your data and then restore OS X back to a functional state which may or may not require new hardware/software installed.
    You can hire the services of a local Mac computer support technician experienced in these matters.
    Have them look at your Wifi security/speed, RAM amount, extra storage and computer backup proceedures in the process.
    Good Luck.

  • Upgrade CS5 Photoshop for windows to CS6 Mac

    I own the Adobe Creative Suite 5 - Design Premium for windows.  I now have a mac and run it on a virtual machine.  I want to be able to seemlessly move between lightroom 5 and Photoshop.  Before the below questions is this possible because my lighroom always shows it greyed out. 
    So assuming my Mac Lightroom 5 can't read my virtual Photoshop on windows,  I want to upgrade/buy CS6 Photoshop.  I am fine with having illustrator and InDesign in my virtual world.  So questions:
    1.  Can I get Photoshop CS5 for Mac as my second application of the program?
    2. If no, can I upgrade my version of Photoshop 5 to 6 for the cross platform?
    3. If no, can I upgrade my suite to mac from windows?
    4. If yes, can I then upgrade my version?
    I  do not want to have photoshop cc, so please answer about having the downloaded product for CS5 or CS6 only.

    Yes. Read: Order an Adobe product platform swap or language swap. It essentially means you buy a normal upgrade, but need to handle it through Adobe directly to exchange serial numbers.

    Any verisons of photoshop would be great. I'm just getting back into graphic design. I haven't had Adobe Photoshop in a long time but it was my favorite editing software. Do you have any suggestions?
    Search the web for a reputable retailer that may have some old full version of Photoshop for sale.  IMO CS3 would be best it was a very good and stable version if Photoshop. It may cost the full $700 price.  CS6 available from Adobe currently will run on XP less some features for CS6 does not support GPU on XP so don't  buy the Extended version for 3D support requires GPU support. CS6 standard cost $700 Extended $1000.   CS6 with fixes applied works well.  You can download a trial version that will work for 30 days...

  • How do I download Photoshop for windows xp and vista.... I currently pay per month for photoshop and a computer running vista i ned to install photoshop on two aditional machines. How can I download, photoshop says I have an os that is no longer supported

    I have a computer running windows vista that I pay per month for photoshop, I want to use photoshop on two other computers I have, not that it matters but they are both identical hardware wise, and software one runs xp and the other runs vista, I can upgrade but I am not intrested in other os. When I attempt to download I am told that my os is no longer supported. Now i know that I could find an offline version and should be able to get it installed but im not sure of a safe site that provides the iso or install exe. I want to use the other two computers because they have touch interface early computer/tablet highbird. thanks in advance.

    Michaelt65951582 I am sorry but you will need to run at least the minimum operating system to use Photoshop.  You can find the system requirements at System requirements | Photoshop.  I would recommend upgrading to Windows 7 or later.  You may find that your computer can support the more recent operating system depending upon the hardware installed.

  • Where can I download a trial of Photoshop for Windows Vista?

    I'm trying to get photoshop on an old WIndows Vista machine and it's saying it isn't compatible. I have photoshop running on XP on a different machine and the key is there, so all I need to do is install Photoshop trial on here. The disk is missing, also, so that isn't an option.

    Which version of Photoshop are you trying to install on Vista?

  • CS2 for Windows - cost of upgrade to CS6

    Can I upgrade CS2 for Windows to CS6 for Windows 7, and what is the cost?  I am also currently subscribed to CC for the Mac, which will be continued. Thank you.

    Apologies, I should have been clearer at the outset.  I do all my bird photography on the Mac OSX platform via a desktop as well as a MBP when away.  So, I have already two computers authorised as required and limited to.  Lately, I have started astrophotography and the majority of my software is Windows 7 based, thus for ease I acquired a third computer, a PC laptop, for this purpose.  I did start with Photoshop for Windows and upgraded as far as CS2 before changing to CS3 for the Mac and eventually (CS4, 5, and 6) to CC for the Mac.  The question now is:  can I deauthorise the Mac laptop in order to authorise the PC laptop and change back and forth as many times as I wish, and as often as I want?  I am the only user, of course.
    In reply #4 above, I had decided to simply copy my files onto an external drive and work off that in CC on the Mac, as I have been doing.  Seeing I had CS for Windows in the fist place years ago, I was trying to find a solution at little or no cost to me, to upgrade that Windows version, but I guess it's not possible, unless your answer to my question above is affirmative. Many thanks for your help.

  • I bought photoshop for my laptop and then it got stolen. I still have the serial/license number. Is it possible to move the license to my new laptop?

    I'm hoping this is an option! Let me know how to go about this please.

    Sure it is. Just download the version of PS you were using from the Adobe Photoshop update page.
    Windows,
    Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows
    Mac OS X,
    Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh
    Install it and enter the serial number. If you have an Upgrade serial number you will need a serial number from a previous version also.

  • I received a psd file created in CS6 for MAC, I am unable to find the layers when I open it in photoshop in Windows. What can i do to edit the files?

    I received a psd file created in CS6 for MAC, I am unable to find the layers when I open it in photoshop in Windows. What can i do to edit the files? What can be done so that I can either open and see the layers or how can the sender save it in a way that it doesn't "merge" the layers in some way to just one?

    Could try saving as tiff provided layers and transparency are chosen at the time of saving. But it's hard to give a definitive answer as it depends on the final usage. For example PSD's tend to work better in applications like In Design in comparison with tiff.
