Uninstalling previous versions of Photoshop and Lightroom

I would like to uninstall previous versions of Photoshop and Lightroom in order to free up space.  What is the proper procedure for doing so?  Is it recommended to do?

Is it recommended to do?
It's not recommended nor is it not recomemnded. It's entirely your own decision. As Curt said, there are certain side effects, in addition to file associations also shared components possibly breaking down (PDF libraries), so if it's not that critical, leave them in place. otehrwise you may have to reinstall CS6 after you have removed the other versions.

    Because I listened to Adobe earlier today about whither uninstalling Elements would affect Photoshop and Lightroom on my computer, Lightroom no longer sees Photoshop in the EDIT IN Menu of Lightroom. I found an article on the help site saying to delete the filecom.adobe.Photoshop.plist, which I looked for, its not there so it can't be deleted. The next step is to uninstall Photoshop and reinstall. This isn't an option because of all the plug-ins and modifications of the work space. Does any one have a better solution?

  • Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with CS3 and CS6 and get the same problem. Doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

    Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with both CS3 and CS6 on 10.8.2 and get the same problem. This doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

    this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
    tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
    just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

  • I´m not able to download the mac version of photoshop and lightroom, I always get a download of an .exe file, which I cannot handle.

    No mac version?

    Hi peter314,
    Please download CC desktop app via Free Creative Cloud | Download Adobe Creative Cloud free trial and then start downloading Photoshop and Lightroom.
    In case that also comes in .exe then download PS and LR via Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links – Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools
    PS: Please follow the VERY IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS or else the download will not start.

  • Download page for trial version of Photoshop and Lightroom Mac OS 10.6.8

    Where can I find the download page for trial versions of Lightroom and Photoshop for Mac OS 10.6.8?
    It's so hard that Adobe has no contact form, no way I can see to contact them. The help is not helpful to me, it's more like an FAQ. So I'd also be interested in knowing how their customer support is from anyone who has had to use it. They don't have any obvious way to contact them for pre-sales support. When I see that I get suspicious that you will get no help once you hand your money over.

    Hi Wave.watcher.
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.
    Since you are using Mac 10.6.8 you cannot use the CC version of Photoshop
    so CS6 version of Photoshop would be apt for you.
    Please use the below link

  • Cannot download full versions of Photoshop and Lightroom

    Hi, I purchased a plan for photographers as a part of Creative Cloud Student and Teacher Edition and cannot download Photoshop or Lightroom in a different way than as trials. You, Adobe, have my money already and everything else seems to be ok. How can I download the full versions??? This is really disappointing

  • I uninstalled previous versions of LR and installed the 2015 ver and it will not run. I get an error message; the procedure entry point .............

    I am unable to get LR6 to run. When I try to open the program it gives me an error message "

    If you run into the "another installation" message even after the reboot of the PC (which is an excellent idea by HTP ProXy), reregistering your Windows Installer Service is worth a try.
    First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
    At the command prompt:
    Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
    Restart the PC and try another reinstalll.

    I have creative cloud, I have photoshop and lightroom current versions installed - I was using the trial period.  I paid for the 9.99 a month and now I'm trying to figure out how to update this. 

    You need to uninstall the trial applications and reinstall from the CC app.

  • How to uninstall previous versions of lightroom?

    how do you uninstall previous versions of lightroom?
    Do you also need to delete any folders?
    I have Updated to the new LR CC version a couple of days ago and need space.

    Knowing whether you are using a Mac or a PC would be rather important to answer your question.
    Anyhow, there is not need to delete any program folder manually. Simply use the respective method of your OS.
    LR CC created a copy of your LR5 catalog and upgraded it. If you remove LR5 you might want to remove the catalog file as well as the preview folder (make sure not to delete the new ones of LR CC ).
    Here is how to find everything: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html

  • Can I reinstall previous version of photoshop without uninstalling new version?

    Can I reinstall previous version of photoshop without uninstalling new version?

    I have opened the CC PS CS6 and used the oil paint filter on a photo - no problem. I then opened the new CC Photoshop 2014 and edited a photo - no problem. When I downloaded the CS6 it did give me an additional CS6 Bridge. So far so good, but I will post if I encounter problems.

  • Importing photos and videos from a previous version | Learn Photoshop Elements 11 | Adobe TV

    Importing photos and videos from a previous version of Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements.

    The title implies "importing photos & videos from previous versions" and only deals with "Organizer".  It does not mention if regular "JPG" or other formats need to change.   It does not discuss if images have been moved from one location to another folder or directory.  It does not discuss any issues of previous versions or backward compatability of formats.

  • CS4 Upgrade and Previous Versions of Photoshop

    As a long-time Photoshop user, I have upgraded my versions of Photoshop over the years and currently have the CS4 Photoshop Upgrade loaded on my computer.  I have an older computer with limited hard drive space and am running out of room.  Is it necessary to keep all the previous versions of Photoshop on my computer's hard drive in order for the already-loaded on my computer CS4 Photoshop Upgrade to run?  In other words, can I remove the earlier versions (like Photoshop 4, Photoshop 6 Upgrade, Photoshop 7 Upgrade, and CS2 Photoshop Upgrade) and still have CS4 Photoshop Upgrade run ok?  I'm trying to clean up hard drive space and would like to make space by deleting the previous versions, but I don't want to mess up my CS4 Photoshop Upgrade if that program somehow ties into components from the previous upgrades.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Thanks for the response.  I currently have CS4 Photoshop Upgrade version already on my computer.  In addition to that, I also have on it Photoshop 4.0, Photoshop 5.5, Photoshop 6.0 Upgrade version, Photoshop 7.0 Upgrade version, and CS2 Photoshop Upgrade.  What I need to know is can I remove the earlier versions of Photoshop or will it negatively affect the operation of CS4 Photoshop Upgrade (since it's not the full version and only an upgrade of the upgrades installed earlier)?  (The only full version of Photoshop I have is Photoshop 4.0 -- everything after that was upgrade versions.)
