Should i upgrade from photoshop cs3 extended to photoshop cs6 non extended

hi im just wondering should i upgrade from photoshop cs3 extended to photoshop cs6 NON extended...... would i loose options from my extended version?

thanks
lee

Good day!
I think I read that with 2013 the upgrade path would be shortened, so you are probably not eligible for upgrading anymore.
Apart from that the benefit of purchasing the current version of Photoshop naturally depends on what you are doing with Photoshop (both in terms of which features you use and how much you use the application overall).
Smart Objects have been improved quite a bit, Puppet Warp is an interesting feature, Configurator allows for the easy creation of custom Panels that can combine Tools, Commands, Actions etc., …
But to judge the programm yourself you could just install the trial – mind you, the trial is Photoshop Extended, so you may want to consult the Reference on which features you would not get with Potoshop Standard.
You might also want to look into Cloud Licensing – or at least »Adobe« wants you to …

Upgrade from Photoshop cs6 extended Demo to full non extended software

Hi there
I was wondering, when upgrading my Photoshop CS6 extended demo to the full version of Photoshop CS6 (non extended) does the extended demo need to be completely removed first to prevent conflicts?

Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CS6 Extended are installed from the same files, available for download. By default, the trial enables the complete feature set in Photoshop CS6 Extended. If you choose to purchase Photoshop CS6 rather than Photoshop CS6 Extended, you may simply enter your serial number for Photoshop, and the Photoshop Extended features for 3D design and scientific analysis will be turned off and hidden from view.

Change Color Selecting Layers in PSE10 for a Drawing from Photoshop CS6 (non-photo) .PSD file?

Hi Everyone,
I have a drawing that was created in Photoshop CS6 (non-photo) and saved as a .PSD file. I am able to open the file in PSE10 and see the drawing and select the layers. I am having trouble with figuring out how to change the colors on each layer in PSE10. When I select a layer where do I go to change the color of that layer? Can this be done in PSE10 as this a drawing created in Photoshop CS6 and not a photo?
TIA,
ClearInk8

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
Here are the steps I have tried.
I made sure the RGB Color (Image>Mode) was selected.
I selected the star layer
Next I selected Layer>Created Clipping Mask
Then I selected Color blend mode
Then I selected Solid Color
When I choose a color the entire canvas fills with the solid color and covers up the drawing.
What step am I missing?
The small red square outline you have next to the orange color box in the color fill layer I am not see this small icon.

Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS6 Standard to Extended

From everything I have been able to find out, I would need to pay the full $400 upgrade from my CS4 license even though I already own CS6. Surely there must be a way to go from CS6 to CS6 Extended for less than the cost to go from a previous version to CS6 Extended, but if there is, I cannot find a way how.
Thanks,
R

Primarily a budgetary concern. At the time, I had $199 to spend on the upgrade. The extra $200 wasn't going to happen before the end of December when the pricing was said to increase so I went ahead and picked up CS6. The 3D capabilities would be nice to have and probably would be helpful in future projects, but the need right now was to get the upgrade to the standard with the (now presumably false) assumption I could upgrade when I had a few more gigs show up.
If it's another $400 to upgrade, it won't be worth it for me. My primary job is programming, I only do side work for photography and some simple design and while it'd be nice to have some basic 3D ability in Photoshop, it's not $600 worth (400 for the upgrade + the $200 I already spent).

Upgrade from Photoshop CS6 Student to normal version?

Hello there,
Last year I bought Photoshop CS6 Student as I was a student back then. Right now I started a business and want to keep using photoshop legally. Is it possible to upgrade from a student license to a normal license? What is the price of this upgrade? Or can I just use my student version for business purposes? (I guess not)
Thanks in advance

Can't upgrade from Photoshop CS6 to Complete CC

I'm trying to upgrade my current plan (Photoshop CS6 1-year plan) to the brand-new Complete CC. I follow this scenario:
1. In a new browser tab go to https://creative.adobe.com/plans?store_code=de
2. In the Special Offers section click the blue "Pick a Plan" button
3. Then choose Complete for CS6
And then I'm just redirected to https://creative.adobe.com/
What am I doing wrong?

Hi there
If you already have a Photoshop single app membership you can upgrade this to complete Creative Cloud from within your account - see http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/membership-subscription-troubleshooting- creative-cloud.html - Change to an annual membership or a full Creative Cloud membership
The special offer pricing you referred to only applies to customers who own a Creative Suite CS6 edition or individual product as a perpetual license.

Upgrading from Student CS3 Master Edition to CS6 Master

What are my options for upgrading from Student Edition of CS3 Master to the current CS6 Master Edition? I am not interested in Creative Cloud.

How do I upgrade from Photoshop CS6 to Photoshop CS6 Extended?

I'd like to use the 3D text.
I have a Mac.
I didn't realise there was more than one version of Photoshop when I purchased.
Thanks.

You may have to call Adobe customer support...
I don't see an upgrade path from PsCS6 to PsCS6 Extended on their web site.
Any chance you qualify for the academic version?

Serial number error while upgrading to Photoshop CS6

I just bought from Adobe an upgrade from PS CS3 Extended to PS CS6 Extended, which was indicated as a valid upgrade. Unfortunately, when I enter my 24 digit serial number, get a message saying I have an invalid product for upgrade. I'd like to resolve this by either a method to successfully install and activate CS6, or I'd like a refund. Is there a specific second or third tier Customer Service number I can reach someone to help me resolve this?
Has anyone else had this problem. I've seen issues when people are missing their "last 4" digits of a serial number, but in this case I have all 24 digits.
Adobe is telling me the full version of CS3 serial number is not in their database, so it was a pirated version, which I can assure you is false.
I have the full box, with all the Adobe stickers, marketing crap, and everything. I've been on chat with Adobe for the past hour trying to persuade them that their system must be screwed up, but all I get is "sorry, we can't help you."
anyone out there that can help me before I write Adobe off forever???

I guess what bothers me the most is that Adobe led me to believe, for about 5 years, that my copy of CS3 Extended was valid, when it turns out (so they say) that it is not.
I've installed it a few times since it came out in 2007 (machines come and go), and every time it registered successfully. If it's not legitimate, why keep telling me it is by way of a successful registration message?
That's what really ticks me off about all this.

Cannot direct upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 Extended

Despite the information in various spots on Adobe's website, it appears that it's not possible to simply upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 Extended. After entering the CS5 serial number, the installer asks for the serial number of a "qualifying product". This includes a dropdown list that only has
Photoshop CS5
Photoshop CS4 Extended
Photoshop CS3 Extended
Here's the view:
Entering the CS2 serial number == fail.
A call to Adobe support get past this issue, basically reading out a challenge/response from the installer to the guy on the phone. But this seems remarkably stupid to me. Was it really more effective to force me (and anyone else following this upgrade path) to call tech support just to install the software I just past $350 for? And if this was the plan, why not SAY SO ON THE ADOBE WEBSITE?!?
Has anyone else run into this issue? If so, was calling tech support the only way out?

You are correct in wishing Adobe made it clear that you do need to go through Customer Service to accomplish this.
Most users make the purchase through Adobe and straighten this out before installing.

Problem upgrading from Photoshop CS2 to CS4 Extended

I purchased the retail box Photoshop CS4 Extended Upgrade (Windows) from a retail store ($349.99 + tax). I am upgrading from Photoshop CS2 and this is the version that the Adobe website says to purchase for this upgrade path. The problem is that CS4 doesn't see my installed, working, activated, and registered CS2 installation so it brings up the next screen offering to allow me to install it as a trial version OR list my qualifying product and serial number. The way that it offers to let me enter my qualifying product is via a drop down box with a single entry of CS3 Extended. No way of entering my CS2 there and it doesn't like my CS2 serial number entered with a CS3 product being shown there (says it isn't a valid CS3 serial number...of course it isn't). Does anyone know how to get this thing to install? Adobe tech support is gone until Monday and then I'll be at work, unable to try anything they might suggest.
Why does Adobe make upgrades so painful? I remember CS2 was a PITA and took Adobe tech support a week to figure out how to get it to install.

No, this shouldn't be extended to extended (I wouldn't expect to shell out $350 twice for extended). This is Adobe P/N 65015396 which their website says is for PhotoShop CS, CS2, CS3, and CS3 upgrades and retails for $350. The face of the box is identified as Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended Windows and the side of the box only says that I must have an "eligible older version of Adobe or Macromedia software." It also says to check the website, which says this P/N is what to buy for my upgrade path. A mess? YES!!!

I want to upgrade from Photoshop Extended CS5 to PS Extended CS6 (I do NOT want CC) but have been unable to find this at a sensible price (or sometimes at all). Help, anyone please?

I want to upgrade from Photoshop Extended CS5 to PS Extended CS6 Mac (I do NOT want CC) but have been unable to find this at a sensible price (or sometimes at all). Help, anyone please? This is in UK, btw!

What do you consider a sensible price? PS CS6 extended is available only when you purchase the CS6 Suite, which is around $1000 for the upgrade from CS5. PS 6, which is not extended, is about $200, but I'm not sure about upgrading to a single app from a suite. Adobe used to allow it, but I'm not sure about now. PS CC and Lightroom 5 combo is $9.99 a month or PS CC alone for $19.99 or the whole CC suite for $29 a month. The latest CC apps are "extended."

Upgrading from Photoshop CS3 to CS6

I am upgrading photoshop CS3 to CS6 on Windows 7.
I have downloaded two files: Photoshop 13_LS16.exe and Photoshop_LS167z.
However, it has not installed properly.
I can only open CS6 if I click on the LS167z file with (open with PS).
And although it opens I get the message: Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.
CS3 is still as it was.

Many thanks
That makes everything clear.
Also thanks for the deletes!

Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS3 to CS6?

Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS3 to CS6?

I think so, but only via the Creative Cloud, and with a one year commitment. And that upgrade may be only for suites, not individual apps. I didn't look that closely. See the page here:

I just upgraded to Photoshop cs6 so that my new camera (Nikon D7100) would work in Camera Raw. However, it will not download from the "Update" option in CS6.

I just upgraded to Photoshop cs6 so that my new camera (Nikon D7100) would work in Camera Raw (I was told that the Camera Raw update 8.3, which is available for CS6, included this camera). However, it will not download from the "Update" option in CS6. I have tried over 10 times - it just says update is not working. and I cannot find an alternate way of downloading this file. So I still can use my camera, even thought I paid to upgrade. HELP please.

What OS do you have? You say you have explained what you had (computer/opsys) but I honestly don't see it here. If you had mentioned that my advice would have been different; I believe you can only upgrade as far as Camera Raw 8.3 on an older Windows system. There is more information here (look specifically for the "Revert to 8.3 ..." titles).
Adobe Camera Raw Help | Camera Raw/DNG Converter 8.4 on Mac OS 10.6, Windows XP, and Vista
What you've done/written in your last post confuses things further, unfortunately. Photoshop 13.1 is strictly a Creative Cloud version. The highest you can go is Photoshop CS6 13.0.1.3 with perpetual license.
And as far as I can recall, that version can work on Windows back to XP:
System requirements | Photoshop
I don't think you're out of luck, but you seem to be leaping into doing things without having the full story, and are jumping to conclusions a bit too quickly.
Here's what I suggest you try:
1. Remove Photoshop entirely with the Creative Suite Removal Tool:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
2. Install Photoshop CS6 from your original media or from here:
Download CS6 products
3. Update the application using its own Help - Updates process. That really should get you the latest Camera Raw version that will work. If that does not bring you a Camera Raw that works with your Nikon, use the "Revert to 8.3" instructions above.
