Should I deactivate my older version of Photoshop prior to upgrading?

Can I deactivate and remove older versions of Photoshop after upgrading?

Yes, though it is better to have done it before installing the new version to help avoid any potential for removing some file(s) that might be shared.

Do I need to uninstall older version of Photoshop first?

Nowhere in the FAQs or Install instrucitons, either the text or video install instructions, can I find any reference to the need or lack of the need, to uninstall an older version of Photoshop prior to downloading and installing the newer version. Specifically I will be upgrading from CS2 to CS5.
Should I then assume it is not necesary? And if so would it be wise once the upgrade is done, that then I should uninstall CS2?
Thanks
Forgot to mention I am using an older but competant desktop which funtions fine using CS2. Windows 32 bit, XP Sp3 Home Edition, 2.56GB RAM.

There is no need to uninstall CS2 before or after. You might find that some things are easier to do in CS2, creating PDF presentations etc. (now moved to Bridge)

I have an older version of Photoshop...3.5... I bought a new computer and it will not load. Can I get another of the same version? or do I have to buy a new one?

I have an older version of Photoshop...3.5. I bought a new computer and what I have will not load. I love this version. Can I get a new cd that will load into Windows 7? or do I have to buy a complete new program?

No CD, but you can download the installation files if you have the serial number, and the previous install has been deactivated

or
Download Adobe CS5.5 Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant / Manager) | ProDesignTools
If you are unable to deactivate the earlier installation, you wil need to phone customer support and ask them to reset your activations.

You can find the installer for older Elements versions here: Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10. Please note that you will need to have already purchased a serial number for the older programs.
FYI, this the the Photoshop forum, Elements questions should be asked here: Photoshop Elements. Not to worry though, a moderator had move this thread to the correct forums for you...

16 bit depth photo restoration, older version of Photoshop.

I use an older version of Photoshop. It is able to import and read a 16 bit depth file. Though it is limited in what it can do with this bit depth, it can do the levels and curves adjustments on an image. I want to have the best quality scan to start with for photo restoration in my older Photoshop. I won't be able to directly import the file with my older Photoshop from the scanner. If I scan a photo as a 16 bit 600 ppi image, I'm afraid color information will be lost when I open it in the older Photoshop. Is there any way I can open and save such a file without losing all that good color information? I know I would need to save it in a format that supports 16 bit depth like png versus jpeg.

Not exactly sure how Image Capture works on lion, but i belive i read that since os x 10.5 that it should scan in 16 bits/channel
Are you able to use the software that came with the scanner instead of Image Capture or maybe you need to update your scanner software or
possibly check the preference in the Image Capture scanner preferences to use Twain Software When Possible.
Or scanner software like VueScan which is much better than most software that ships with scanners.

Anyway if the scan is saved as a 16 bits/channel tif as output by the scanner to a place (folder) on your hard drive, then ps7 should open it as such.

Why did my install of an older version of Photoshop Elements fail?

I tried to install a 2001 version of Photoshop Elements, but it failed to install stating that "Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later is Required." I have Windows 7, so therefore I should have at least Internet Explorer 9. Also when I tried to install it on my MAC it also failed stating that "Install failed because Classic Mode is no longer supported." So why can't I install this program on my MAC or Windows 7?
I just bought this off eBay hoping to score a deal on an older program to use and get familiar with before installing a newer version and finding out I didn't like it or it wouldn't meet my needs. Any help in this manner is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
First off, you must be referring to a very old version of Photoshop Elements, not even sure it is version 1. Learning that will not help you very much when you try to go for the latest version - it will be like starting again.
The old version did not know anything of the later versions of Internet Explorer and the installer gets confused. You can trick it by doing some registry edits (see following document) but I strongly advise against it unless you are very competent with computers. Get things wrong and you could kill your system.
Photoshop Elements (PSE) knowledge base.
In addition to the level of Internet Explorer, you will run into problems if you have large disk drives.
I'm not a MAC expert but the older versions of Photoshop Elements were designed to run on PowerPC-based computers and will not run on systems later than MAC OS 10.6.x.
If you are serious about getting to know Photoshop Elements, the best thing is to get the latest trial version. Download that and install it and you can try it for 30 days. If you decide you like it, then you could look out for bargains at your local store or online.

I have an older version of photoshop and now it its asking me for and unlock code.

I have an older version of photoshop and now it is asking me for an unlock code to view my pictures.. I did that years ago when I first started using it and have not had a problem. I am trying to get pics onto a flas drive or online photoshop and it is not letting me. Any one have any suggestions?

Photoshop files and any image files are stored on your hard drive, not in the program. You can get to the files on your file manager just by searching.
As for the "unlock code" that would most likely be the serial number. What version of Photoshop are you running? You would have to find the package it came in. If by chance you registered your copy with Adobe, it should be under your account.

Files Created in Photoshop CC Not Compatable With Older Versions of Photoshop?

I have heard that the new Photoshop CC uses a new file system that is not compatible with older versions of Photoshop so you can only edit them in the new Cloud version of Photoshop CC. Is this true?

i opened a fine in PSCS 13.1.2.I edited it a bit, converted a layer to a SO and used liquify on that layer.
I saved it as a tiff. Did not try it as a psd.
PSCS5 opened the tiff without complaint, including the SO+liquified layer. When i clicked on the liquify at bottom of the SO layer to try to edit it I got the notice "CANNOT FIND THE FILE", or something like that.
So, I guess pscs5 is already done for.

Are older versions of photoshop available?

Can I buy and/or download an older version of photoshop?

Yes, CS6 is still available. That is quite an old version by now.
For older versions you may have to resort to ebay, for example. But be very, very careful - lost of hacked versions are still sold.
If you are a CS2 license holder, you may download CS2 from Adobe's website.

Upgrading from an older version of Photoshop

I was once told by someone on the Internet who was selling Photoshop that the version he was selling could not be upgraded. He said it was an OEM version. Is there such a thing as an OEM version of Photoshop, or a version that is not upgradable? I did not purchase his copy.

All legal versions of Photoshop can be upgraded.
All Pirate versions can't.

Should I deactivate my older version of Photoshop prior to upgrading?
