Upgrade photoshop 5.5 to CS4 possible?

I have a new iMac and can't install OS9 on it and therefore can not install photoshop 5.5 on it. i was told that if i have the seriel number of photoshop 5.5 that i could install the upgrade to CS4. How can that be if I don't have photoshop 5.5 on the computer?

nilk,
>i also like the image ready part to do animations.
Well, unfortunately, ImageReady was dropped after CS2. Fireworks fills that role now.
(And, no, I don't think you can run your original version of ImageReady on your new iMac.)
For Elements features, again, check out the Adobe store. And you should ask any followup questions in the Photoshop Elements forum.

  • Can I upgrade Photoshop CS directly to CS4?

    I am currently using Adobe Photoshop CS and I have an offer to get CS4 upgrade but I'm worried it the upgrade is possible. I was not able to find the answer to this question on Adobe Forums.

    Even if a user were to buy a legitimate new old stock Ps CS4 upgrade, then upgrade again somehow to Ps CS6 (again, this upgrade is not currently offered by Adobe), the cost would be on the order of $400+, and of course a full perpetual license is hundreds of dollars even more than that.  It's worth carefully considering all the literally YEARS one could maintain a subscription for the same money.  And with that you'd be using the latest software, kept compatible with the latest operating systems.

  • Upgrade Photoshope CS4 to CS5

    Hi!
    We have Creative Suites CS4 installed on our PC and we need to upgrade to Photoshop CS5. Is it possible to upgrade only Photoshop or... we have to buy an upgrade for the entire Creative Suites ?
    Thanks !
    Christian

    Creative Suite 5 is no longer available from Adobe.  Please see the buying guide for Photoshop CS6 at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/buying-guide-upgrades.html.  It would be necessary for you to purchase an upgrade to a suite.

    No. You need to contact Adobe Customer Support and request a Cross-grade

  • Upgrade to CS4: from CS2 upgrade / Photoshop 3.0 Full

    Ok, I've decided to go to CS4 from CS2 on my Intel Mac.  Yeah I bought CS2 unknowingly for my Intel Mac and have not been happy with the performance.
    Are there any special install procedures for doing a fresh install of CS4 upgrade on Snow Leopard 10.6 (not that it really matters that it is 10.6 vs. 10.5), with CS2 Upgrade / Photoshop 3.0 Full?
    If I remember correctly I had to call Adobe when I went from Photoshop 3.0 to CS2 with the Upgrade disc.
    How might the install process go?

    Web logic should upgrade first

  • Photoshop CS5 and Illustrator CS4 : any conflicts?

    I'd like to upgrade Photoshop to CS 5 and am wondering if there'd be problems with Illustrator when both were necessary.....any ideas? thanks much..mm

    None at all Photoshop CS5 works well with Illustrator CS4 on both platforms for myself and have not seen any other reports.
    If you have not heard be careful of upgrading to Mac OS 10.5.5 or 10.5.6, as there is a keyboard modifier problem that gets introduced to Adobe Apps from the Mac OS updates. Though there is no official solution that works every time, you can search these forums for 10.5.5 or 10.5.6 and find a variety of possible solutions.

  • Upgrading Photoshop CS5 upgrade to CS6

    My base full version is CS4. Bought CS5 upgrade in 2013 and would like to upgrade to CS6.
    Is this possible?
    Could be that only the full version of CS5 (i.e. being the 'base'-version) can be upgraded..?
    Can't find any info on that.
    Thanks

    CS4 and CS5 are both registered versions…
    Well those trial versions only last for 30 days.  They are totally irrelevant to this discussion.  They would have done you absolutely no good for anything.
    As I wrote above:
    ALL Adobe upgrades are FULL INSTALLERS.  They do not need to find a previous version installed at all.  If they don't, they will simply prompt you for the old serial number of the qualifying version and the new one.
    Your prior versions remain untouched, totally ignored when you install the upgrade.

  • Can I Upgrade Photoshop Elements 4.0, Premiere Elements 2.0 and DW CS3??

    I have to upgrade my PC from Windows XT to Windows 8.1.
    The computer checks say my existing Adobe programs are not compatible with Windows 8.1.
    It is possible to upgrade Photoshop Elements 4.0, Premiere Elements 2.0 and Dreamweaver CS3?
    Thanks

    You can upgrade to Elements 12 from any previous version.  Just purchase the version you require from either the Adobe website or a store of your choice as either individual programs or as a bundle.

    The latest version of Dreamweaver is subscription only however with prices starting at $19.99 per month.

    A quick check on the internet however has indicated that Dreamweaver CS3 will run Windows 8.

  • Option to Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog not available (LR5, PSE 12, Win 8)

    Hi there. I have trial versions of both Photoshop Elements 12 and Lightroom 5.2 (trial licenses are both still active (i.e. not expired)). I'm looking to import my PSE12 catalog into Lightroom before I plunk down the money to buy it.
    I cannot, however, locate the "File->Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog" option in LR5.
    I may have originally installed LR 5 before installing PSE 12. So I uninstalled LR5 and reinstalled it. Still no luck - the option isn't there.
    Any other ways to force LR5 to look for the PSE 12 catalog? Will LR5 even recognize a PSE12 catalog?
    Your help is greatly appreciated - thanks!
    Note: Using Win 8.1

    ...But we can also wait and see report from other users.
    Unfortunately, there is no doubt that the conversion of PSE12 catalogs has been omitted. It's not the first time : I also had to wait for LR4 to be able to convert PSE11 files. We may hope that Adobe will acknowledge the fact, and possibly solve the problem for future versions of PSE.
    Of course, it's not a priority for Adobe: the ability to convert PSE catalogs is mainly a sales argument to make the jump from the PSE Organizer to LR easier. Not so many cases, and anyway you can always write metadata to files in PSE and import later in LR. After the jump to LR, you rarely have more PSE catalogs to convert.
    However, maintaining misleading update notes by Adobe is not a good point in favour of LR. I do consider that the ability for LR to convert PSE catalog was and still is a very smart demonstration of the ability to deal with database organizational systems. I also consider that once that conversion process is mastered, the update process for each new Elements version is not such a big deal.

  • Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog option is missing

    The File Menu/Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog is missing on my version of LR5.  I've followed the suggested procedure to update the preferences files for both Elements 12 and Lightroom 5, but LR5 still does not recognize that I have an existing Elements 12 catalog.  I assume if it did the option would now be available?
    This was the instruction I tried:

  • Over the years I have upgraded Photoshop numerous times.  When I click Start and Programs it shows P

    Over the years I have upgraded Photoshop numerous times.  When I click on Start, Programs is shows I have CS4, CS5 and CS6 installed.  If all three are installed, doesn't this eat up a lot of hard drive space?  If so, can I uninstall CS4 and CS5 and still have CS6 function properly?  Note - I am running the Windows 64-bit versions.  Thanks in advance for your help!

    Ravi,
    Will you please clarify how you recommend I uninstall CS4 and CS5?  Should I uninstall them through Windows or if I deactivate them while the program is open will that uninstall them?
    Sincerely,

  • 'Upgrade Photoshop Elements catalog' menu item missing

    Hi,
    I have been using PSE for many years and recently upgraded to PSE8 (and PRE8). In addition, I started playing with the LR3 Beta and realized that I wanted to migrate LR from PSE. I just bought LR3 and now want to import my PSE8 catalog into LR3. The Lightroom Help tells me that I should go to File - Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog (while in Library module), but this menu item is not showing up in my Lightroom... Is my LR3 not detecting my PSE8 catalog installation? How can I fix this?
    Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

  • Update Photoshop CS PC to CS4 Mac

    Hi,
    I've just received an ad from Adobe saying that I can update my old Photoshop CS to the CS4 one. Cool ! But I was wondering if it is ok to buy the CS4 for Mac, as my original Photoshop CS was for PC ? Will the licensing process work in that case ?
    Thanks in advance,
    M.

    How to manage upgrade ?
    Not quite sure what you are asking, but here goes.
    Just install CS4 on the new Mac and when asked provide the previous version serial number to qualify the upgrade. If you are getting a computer with Snow leopard you may have other issues because of Apples buggy OS but that's another issue.

  • I have Design Premium CS5, but can I upgrade Photoshop ONLY to CS6?

    Like I stated, I have Adobe Design Premium CS5. I don't use the other programs as often as I use Photoshop, so is it possible for me to upgrade Photoshop only to CS6? Or do I have to purchase Design Premium CS6 in order to upgrade?
    Thank you for your time!

    NO. Suites can only be upgraded to suites. A standalone upgrade would simply not accept the serial number.
