Upgrade Creative Suite 2 with ONLY Photoshop CS3?

I have a full version of Creative Suite 3. I would like to upgrade only the Photoshop portion, including Bridge, with Photoshop CS3. Can this be done?

Not unless you have a standalone version of Photoshop 7 (the earliest
version from which you can upgrade to Photoshop CS3), CS or CS2.
This was a 'gotcha' that I wrestled with when the first Creative Suite (CS)
was released. I started with full Photoshop 5.5 then upgraded to 6 and 7. I
wanted the Creative Suite but with the option of upgrading standalone apps
within the Suite from then on but soon realised that this was not possible.
I eventually went the Creative Suite.
In brief, available upgrade paths are:
Standalone App > Standalone App
Standalone App > Creative Suite > Creative Suite
Creative Suite > Creative Suite > Creative Suite

I've just installed CS6 creative suite mainly for photoshop CS6. It comes with camera raw 7.0.something, but need something newer to use my canon 6d. When I download camera raw 8.5 and install the raw converter doesnt work anymore, wont even open or isnt available anymore in the plugin list. Tried to reinstall everything for a few times, but nothing helps.

When I search for updates the raw converter doesnt get update automaticly. Frustrating, is costing me the whole morning.

Office or Creative Suite with site licensing on Lion Server

Can Office or Creative Suite with site licensing reside on a mac mini server for the network to use or do the applications need to be on each computer in the network?

The big software makers constantly winge about customers must ensure they are legal regarding software licensing. However they not only don't make this easy, they actually go out of their way to make it hard in terms of purchasing, license management and auditing. We will ignore the separate issue of some of them actively ripping customers off over pricing (I am looking at you Adobe).
I can say that it was technically possible with Office 2004 for Mac to install a single volume-license version of Office on a server and run it sumultaneously on multiple client logins. I have not had the opportunity to try this with Office 2012 for Mac.
Note: I had more than enough individual Office 2004 licenses to cover the number of clients when I did this.
Another approach to investigate is the use of KeyServer from Sassafras Software. This can take a standard version of an application and wrap it with extra license management code. The KeyServer software then controls how many simultaneous copies can be run, you can even book copies out for use on a laptop you are taking out of the office. The booking would be for a fixed time limit after which it is released and no longer works until you contact the license server again.
See http://www.sassafras.com/licensing.html
I believe in the past and maybe still now, that Sassafras worked with the major software developers to enable this. I don't know whether Adobe, Microsoft, etc. are still enabling this or whether they have continued to show their stupidity by stopping this and making license management even harder. I suggest you contact Sassafras to discuss this.
Note: Even though FileMaker has serial numbers and user licenses, it is possible to easily manage things using a single serial key as FileMaker let you buy a volume license key and you are simply allowed to run up to a that specific number of simultaneous copies, there is none of the stupid hassle of product activation etc. linked to individual hardware devices.

After I upgraded my Mac with Yosemite, Photoshop Elements 12 stops responding when you use editing tools like eraser, clone stamp.

This should help. Photoshop Elements doesn't respond when you use editing tools in Mac OS X 10.10

How do I downgrade my complete Creative Cloud to only Photoshop & InDesign?

Hi there,
Is it possible to downgrade my Complete Creative Cloud to only Photoshop & InDesign? Because that are the only programs that we use. How much will that cost? Now it costs us €69,99 each month.
And is there another pay method besides a credit card? Is it possible to pay from our private bankaccount from the Netherlands?
Hopefully I hear soon from you!

Can I upgrade from Creative Suite 3 to Photoshop CS6?

Hello,
I have a licence of the full Creative Suite 3 on my PC. Am I able to upgrade the Photoshop part of this suite to Photoshop CS6 only? I don't need the complete package in CS6, so this would be the best way for me.
And my second question: Can I import and edit pictures which were made or edited in CS6 in the other programs in the CS3 suite and vice versa?
Thanks,
Benjamin

No…with a suite license it’s all or nothing at all.

Adobe Photoshop CS 5.5 Creative Suite with Corel Sketchpad

Hi,
I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS 5.5 a few years ago and it came with Corel Painter Sketchpad.
I have been using the sketchpad once in a while since then.
Recently I could not see the media settings in the Sketchpad so I decided to update the program, but instead, I upgraded it without realising it. As a result, Corel upgraded it for me and gave me one month trial and then I would have to buy the program. This program came together with Photoshop CS 5.5 in 2012 and I had it since then.
I would like to ask you very much to update my Corel Sketchpad so I can use it as I was before since it came with my Adobe Photoshop Creative Suite.
Thank you so very much,
Georgeta

Adobe has no influence on third-party OEM deals and whatever technical issues you have can probably easily resolved by reinstalling the original software.

Upgraded to Creative suite 5 from photoshop CS5

Hi, I bought Photoshop CS5 standalone a while ago but have now bought creative suite CS5 production which comes with photoshop extended version. During the install it said it wouldn't reinstall photoshop, but is there much of a difference between standard and extended versions? Will it just install the extra bits which as far as I know have something to do with video work?
Basically should I have reinstalled photoshop to get the extended version?

CS5.5 is no longer available. You may have some luck in finding leftover
stock but this is a dangerous game unless that the seller is an
authorized reseller of Adobe software.
You can find all of the current Adobe special offers here, including the
option of moving to Creative Cloud, which will also get you CS7 in the
spring: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.html

Bought Adobe creative suite, but only need photoshop on second computer. What can i do?

I have Adobe Creative Suite installed on my desktop computer. I am about to buy a Surface Pro 3 but I only need Adobe Photoshop on there so it wont slow it down too much. Also after I install it here, will it work in South America when I visit there?

If you want to use the Photoshop from the Suite then you will have to install using the Suite. You do not have to install all of the programs in the Suite. Whatever programs you have installed from the Suite will not be able to tell where you are in the world - they should work.

Upgraded hard drive, now only Photoshop from CS5 works and other programs do not

I recently changed out my hard drive for a bigger one during a computer upgrade. I deactivated my CS5 through Photoshop, and then changed out the hardware. I brought the programs back over and now only Photoshop works and the other programs of CS5 do not work. Is the license unique for each one? I assumed I only needed to deactivate one member of the CS5 family. What can I do now that I have a new hard drive?

If by "brought the programs back over" you mean you somehow transferred them from the old drive to the new one, transferring does not usually work. Adobe programs need to be installed using installations files. If you need to you can download those files thru the following page: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html

Creative Suite Licensing: Downgrade Photoshop Version

We currently have a number of users that are licensed for and running Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard on the Mac. As you know, one of the applications that is included as part of that suite is Photoshop CS6. I am told by our designers that there are certain changes specific to Photoshop with version CS6 that simply do not work for them and they need to run Photoshop CS5. My question is does Adobe allow the downgrading of only that one application, Photoshop to version CS5 if the rest of the suite is at CS6? I am assuming we would not need to purchase an additional Photoshop license under that scenario, but I know Adobe can be funny with their licensing rules.
Thanks!

Yes, that's true and it's also only possible for Volume licensing customers of the older traditional products... not for individual purchasers.
Fortunately now with Creative Cloud, Adobe is maintaining an archive of previous versions available for download and use... The collection right now includes both CS6 and the 2013 CC releases.
These older versions are available to all members at any time, including CC for Individuals and Creative Cloud for Teams.
PS - Have no idea why your designer would prefer PS CS5 over CS6 though! CS6 (and CC) are much nicer to use IMO.

Adobe Creative Suite Design CS6 - PhotoShop, InDesign and Illustrator immediately shuts down after startup

I'm troubleshooting for a customer who have Adobe Creative Suite Design CS6.
His programs suddenly wont start, they launches and starts to read plug-ins and open up a workspace, but then without warning/error it shuts down. no log, error message or anything...
It's the same for PhotoShop, InDesign and Illustrator both in 32 bit and 64.
He is running the suit on a Hp EliteBook 8560p with Windows 7 Pro x64 sp1.
He also have had a Wacom Bamboo CTE 650 penpad installed before.
This is what I've done so far:
* Uninstall the whole suit and reinstalled it again (Done this 3-4 times, manually deleted regestry-files, used CClean and other cleaning tools)
* Deleted the wacom-drivers with controlpanel tool, Windows driver Clean tool, CClean and manually deleted registry-keys and files.
* Uninstall Anti-Virus software and replaced it with another, inactivated AV and Windows Firewall.
* Deleted register-files for the suits and "reregister" them again.
* Full patch both for windows and adobe softwares.
* Reboot between each step
Any suggestions?
I have to add that adobe support for this $2000 software really sucks...
Thanks!

Problem solved!
I went through all the folders associated with adobe cs6 and renamed them (one by one) so they would be recreated.
I did this before but seems like I missed this specific one.
Anyway, when I renamed the folder "SLCache" in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\ and then ran the applications one by one as administrator I was prompted to enter a serial-key again and log in to my Adobe-ID.

Re-install the adobe creative suite with my 12-month pre-paid membership

My laptop was restored to factory settings and basically completely rebuilt, and in the process I lost the adobe creative suite apps that I had installed. When I tried to use my membership access code to reinstall the apps, it said the access code had already been used. How can I reinstall them with the membership that I have already paid for?

Hi there!
In your case, I'd highly recommend switching off auto-renewal once you've purchased your annual membership. You can make changes to your Creative Cloud subscription on the My Account page on Adobe.com: https://www.adobe.com/account.html Just click on "My subscriptions and services" in the far right column. Once your full annual membership commitment ends, go in and make sure your annual membership has fully expired and does not automatically renew. Then all you have to do is purchase your 12-month pre-paid from Amazon and make sure you use the same account information you used in your first subscription.
The only fee that you could encounter in this process is if you decide to cancel your annual memberships early: (taken from the Creative Cloud FAQ)
If you decide to cancel a 3- or 12-month prepaid membership purchased at a retailer or online store, you will receive a refund of 50% of the value of the time left on your membership. To cancel your membership, contact Adobe Customer Service.
To cancel a one-year membership, you can either go online to the Account page on www.creativecloud.com or contact Adobe Customer Service. If you cancel your membership before meeting the 12-month commitment date, you will be charged 50% of the remaining amount left on your contract.
So make sure your full annual membership does not renew after your commitment date!
After your annual membership expires or is cancelled, the applications you have installed will be deactivated and you won't be able to use them. You don't need to uninstall and reinstall them - you'll just need to enter your new subscription information in the Application Manager the next time you reopen the applications.
If you have any issues with this process, or want more personalized help, you can always contact Adobe Customer Service: http://helpx.adobe.com/contact/

Creative Suite CS2 thinks Photoshop already installed

During the install of Creative Suite CS2, I keep getting the message that Photoshop is already installed. It has been uninstalled and I have deleted all folders left in the program files directory and all folders in documents and settings. I have also used a registry cleaner that removed all "obsolete program" entries referencing photoshop. I have seen that adobe has a cleanup tool for CS3 and above, but have not found anything for CS2. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

The windows install cleanup tool resolved this issue.
