Upgrade Photoshop CS3 to Photoshop CS5 Extended

I recently purchased Adobe Photshop CS5 Extended upgrade for Windows, thinking I have no problem upgrading to this version. I did not realize it wasn't compatible with Photoshop CS3 until I tried to install it today. Is there anyway I can install the upgrade without having to purchase a new program?

There should be no issue regarding compatibility between the two versions... they are functionally independent of each other.  There might be a compatibility issue with your computer operating system if anything, in which case it is less likely a newer version is going to work any better.  Maybe you misworded the description of your problem?

  • Upgrading photoshop cs5 extended to cs7 upgrade older version

    upgrading photoshop cs5 extended to cs7 upgrade older version

    NO. I want to upgrade to CS7, as that is the version I already own, and 
    want to install it on my computer, which already has cs5. When I try, the cs7 
    software says it cannot find photoshop software on the computer, although I
    use  it all the time.
    Someone at Adobe help said my version of CS7, was too old to find the 
    version of CS5 on my computer and I should try the forum.

  • Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS5 Extended to Photoshop CS 6, because I don't use the 3D features.

    Can I upgrade Photoshop CS5 Extended just to Photoshop CS6, because I don't use the 3D features. I only use the picture corrections and special picture features?

    Yes you can upgrade to CS6 Standard from CS5 Extended for $199.
    If you are in another country, check your local Adobe Store and Click on Photoshop CS6 Upgrade,there is a dropdown list of qualifying products under "I own..."

  • I've got Photoshop CS5 Extended Student and Teacher Edition - Upgrade to CS6 Extended possible?

    Dear ladies and gentlemen,
    I bought Photoshop CS5 Extended Student and Teacher Edition a few years ago. Now I want to upgrade to CS6 Extended. Is there any chance to do this without buying Photoshop CS6 Extended new? I don't want to subscribe to the Creative Cloud. I just want to buy an upgrade. If there is one, please tell me, where I can find it.
    Thanks in Advance.

    There are no upgrades from educational vesion to educational version at the new version is cheaper than then upgrade price.

  • I own photoshop cs5 extended but now have win8.  can i upgrade to cc at reduced price to cc or do i need to purchase it at full price? I don't need cloud but will use the pc for install.

    There is no such thing as a "pay once, use forever CC". It's strictly a subscription model that you can use as long as you pay for it. Your CS5 will give you a discount for the first year.

  • No 3D Tools in Photoshop CS5 Extended!

    I upgraded from Photoshop CS5 standard to  CS5 Extended but can't see the 3D tools in the menu - just shows the standard menu... I re-downloaded and re-installed, but still no 3D. What am I doing wrong?

    How did you upgrade to Photoshop CS5 extended?  I didn't think Adobe was selling upgrades to Photoshop CS5 any longer.
    In any case, activation is where the differentiation is made, based on the content of the serial number - both use the exact same install.  Deactivate and reactivate with your new serial number and the features should show up.  You really didn't need to reinstall.

  • Using Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended with MacBook Pro Retina

    I intend to buy the new MacBook Pro with retina display. Does anyone know if I will be able to use Photoshop CS5 Extended with it? I could upgrade to CS6 but it seems an unnecessary cost given that I am still quite happy with CS5.

    CS5 does not offer Retina quality display - in fact, it looks awful. The current version of CS6 was updated to work with Retina display models (you'll need to check with Adobe to see what the current version of CS6 is... I know they haven't 'abandoned' it, but I subscribe to CC so I'm on CC 2014).
    Good luck,

  • Editing a video with Photoshop CS5 extended.

    In 2009, I used Photoshop cs3 extended following tip 48 that I found from Russell Brown, to adjust color and add text to a video.
    Has that capability been removed from Photoshop?

  • Cross-grade for Photoshop CS5 Extended

    How can I get a Cross-grade for Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended. I have a Student and Teacher Version. Now I want to change my System from Windows to Mac.

    There are no upgrades from old version Student & Teacher Edition to new version Student & Teacher Edition.
    But you can certainly upgrade (or crossgrade) from CS5 Student & Teacher Edition (Win) to CS6 (Mac) normal retail product for the upgrade price.
    e.g. Photoshop CS5 STE to Photoshop CS6.
    Alternatively, join the Cloud for the PS+LR plan @ $10/month.

  • Photoshop won't open Raw images with my new Camera Canon 6D help! I use Photoshop CS5 extended version.

    Hello,
    I got a new camera and Photoshop and Lightroom won't open Raw images with my new Camera Canon 6D help! I use Photoshop CS5 extended version. and Lightroom 3

    Good news and bad news:
    The bad news is that you need CS6 or higher to open 6D RAWs. (The 6D didn't get support until Camera Raw 7.3; 7.0 premiered in CS6.) You can choose to upgrade (I'd recommend skipping CS6 and go straight for CC 2014 for $10/month) *OR*...
    ...the good news is that the DNG Converter can help you convert your RAWs into DNGs for use in CS5 and Lightroom 3.

  • I have Photoshop CS5 Extended and it says updates available but when i download the updates it says updates failed please try again later, i have tried a few times and get the same message any help would be great i am running 64bit on windows 8

    I have Photoshop CS5 Extended and it says updates available but when i download the updates it says updates failed please try again later, i have tried a few times and get the same message any help would be great i am running 64bit on windows 8.

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit ultimate and have the same problem.  My hard drive crashed, installed a new one and then reinstalled CS5 extended.  Installation went fine, but can no longer open my camera RAW files from Photoshop (camera is a Canon EOS T2i.  The message also tells me I am not eligible for the update.  I am... and I cannot open my files and I could before.  I can find nowhere to contact Adobe to tell me how to proceed.  My daughter is all a registered user of the same product and she had no problems upgrading... we purchased ours each at the same time. I do know the difference is that I had to reinstall and she did not.  If that means anything.

  • I had purchased Photoshop Cs5 extended when i had a windows comp now i bought a mac i need to install it again how can i do that

    i had purchased Photoshop Cs5 extended when i had a windows comp now i bought a mac i need to install it again how can i do that

    You would have to purchase a Mac version of CS5. You cannot install a Windows version on a Mac. CS5 is not a current product so you can't get a free platform swap.
    Speak to Customer Service and see if it is possible to upgrade to CS6 ($200), and get what is know as a platform swap to Mac.

  • I have license for photoshop CS5 extended for windows , I have switched to mac , can  I install the same license copy on mac ?

    I have license for photoshop CS5 extended for windows , I have switched to mac , can  I install the same license copy on mac ?

    Unfortunately, no. the CS programs are platform specific. You have three options. Upgrade to CS6 and request a platform swap, in which case you will give up the Windows serial number. Second, you could buy a second serial number for Mac outright. Third, you can buy the subscription to Photoshop CC, which can be used on both Windows and Macintosh..
