Upgrade to Photoshop CS5

How can i make an upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5? And what would be the price?

CS6 is the only version available as an upgrade at this time.  While CS2 would not have qualified for an upgrade even before January, as of January only versions CS5 and newer are available for upgrade.
You cannot purchase CS5 throught Adobe.  CS6 is what is currently for sale.

  • Upgrade to Photoshop CS5 from CS3/CS2/6.0

    I purchased Adobe Photoshop 6.0, then upgraded to CS2, then CS3.
    Can I upgrade to CS5?
    If so, can I install the trial and later activate it once I have the key?
    Since the key is an upgrade key, what is it going to ask for to verify the fact that the CS3 version (which was an upgrade) was based on a full retail version?
    The reason for all these questions is that I'm going to be upgrading from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit. I'd like to just install Photoshop CS5 and try it out, then order the upgrade to complete the install later. I'm concerned about an upgrade not being appropriate (1) and a need to install Photoshop CS3 completely and then run the update to CS5. If I have to do that, I may just install CS3 after my Windows upgrade.
    Thanks in advance for your responses. While I did see some questions about upgrading, I missed this exact scenario if it was previously posted.

    The upgrade process is really quite straightforward these days - even on a new box which has never previously had Adobe software installed.
    Upgrades are as good as full versions once installed. When installing upgrades, all that matters is that you have a serial number to an earlier qualifying version handy - Adobe has given up tracing this all the way back to your full version which could be up to 20 years ago. Upgrade serial numbers can only be verified by serial numbers up to 3 versions back anyway so Photoshop CS does not qualify for a CS5 upgrade.
    There's no need to install older versions on a new computer before installing the CS5 upgrade version. It's actually the full code on the disk regardless of whether you purchased a full version or an upgrade - the serial number tells the installer if you've bought an upgrade or full version license.
    When you enter your upgrade serial number for CS5, the installer will ask you to enter an earlier qualifying serial number (full or upgrade does not matter). I've successfully completed this exact scenario myself several times.
    The only caveat to the above is that there is a world of difference in licensing terms (and serial numbers) between a suite and a standalone version. If you install a CS5 suite trial then want to keep just the Photoshop component (and enter its serial number), you'll have to uninstall the entire suite first then install the upgrade version of standalone Photoshop CS5. Then enter your CS5 serial number then verify by entering your CS3 serial number.

  • Upgrading from Photoshop CS5 to Photoshop CC

    I'm an amateur photographer and home user of Photoshop CS5. The last full version of Photoshop I purchased was CS2; since then I've upgraded periodically, and I'm now using CS5. At the same time, I've replaced my PC several times, and managed to install Photoshop each time. The copy currently installed on my PC is the CS5 upgrade.
    When I purchased this current PC about a year ago, I had some difficulty installing and registering the program, and I wound up calling Adobe tech support. (The difficulty involved the fact that the only full version I had was the old CS2). They led me through a process that eventually enabled me to use CS5 on this PC.
    Now I'm strongly considering moving up to Photoshop CC which, unless I misread something, includes Lightroom for desktop and mobile, plus Photoshop CC. My questions are as follows:
    Is there any upgrade path from CS5 to CC? I figure it can't hurt to ask, in case I can save some money on the upgrade.
    What is the preferred procedure for installing CC on a computer with CS5 installed? Should I uninstall CS5 before installing CC to guarantee a "clean" installation? I don't have a whole lot of preferences or saved settings to be concerned about, so that's not an issue.

    There is no reason to uninstall CS5 unless you have no reason to keep it.  Below is a link to a page that shows the various subscription plans available.  There is one that is a special rate for Photoshop and Lightroom.  I do not think CS5 qualifies you for a further discount on that package, but there is a special rate for another package if you are a CS owner.

  • CS6 upgrade for photoshop CS5 gives errors

    I recently purchased your Photoshop CS6 upgrade.  I had been using Photoshop CS5 previously.  When I entered my serial number I got a message stating that no qualifying product can be found on my computer.  In the product drop down box I found and selected CS5 but when I enter the serial number of my CS5 Master Collection (which Photoshop was part of it) I get a error saying that serial number is not for a qualifying product.
    What should I do?

    You cannot upgrade a component of a Creative Suite to the next version - which is what it sounds like you're attempting.
    e.g. you cannot upgrade to Photoshop CS6 using the Photoshop CS5 from Master Collection CS5.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq.html#upgrade-eligibility
    "Am I eligible for upgrade pricing from an earlier Creative Suite edition to an individual CS component?
    No. Adobe does not offer upgrade pricing for customers wishing to move from a suite edition to an individual CS component. For complete upgrade information for the product you are interested in, consult the upgrade eligibility chart on that product's buying guide page."
    From Master Collection CS5, you can only upgrade to a CS6 Suite (does not have to be Master Collection CS6).
    If Photoshop CS6 is all you want then either purchase a full version of CS6 or consider joining the Cloud.

  • Photoshop CS6 Extended upgrade from Photoshop CS5 Extended

    I am running the Teacher/Student edition of Photoshop CS5 and plan to up grade to Photoshop CS6 Extended non- eacher/Student edition.  Will the be any complications with this upgrad. 

    Hi Jerry,
    While upgrading you should maintain the same form of licenses, which is if you haveretail CS5 then do get the retail upgrade of CS6,
    If the cs5 version is volume then do get the volume upgrade. Please refer to this link for the upgrade path,

  • 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..."

  • Likely Cost to Upgrade from Photoshop CS5 Basic to CS6 Extended?

    I know an exact answer to this question is not available yet, but I would like to get a feel for what to expect when CS6 is released. I currently have Photoshop CS5 Basic. I would like to upgrade it to CS6 Extended when CS6 is released. Am I going to have to start all over as a brand new owner?
    TIA

    The Extended version does seem to be about 3D

    But I had a feeling there was also something to do with image stacks and Median. 
    I have found this link for CS4.  Ah yes, here you go

  • How do I upgrade from Photoshop CS5 to CS6?

    I have Photoshop CS5 and want to upgrade to CS6. However, I don't want the Creative Cloud version. (I don't want to have to pay a monthly or annual fee!) I want to pay the one-time "lifetime" license fee. Where do I go to do this? How much will it cost? Or is this no longer an option?

    The page he was pointed to was for an entire suite and only presents a "buy at $699" choice.
    That page has suites and individual apps.
    Now that he knows that it's "lying" about being a $699 option to buy, clicking makes sense.
    That's not a lie. Photoshop CS6 can be bought for $699.

    I used to similarly  sneer at people who kept asking me what photoshop to get until I realized how much Adobe muddied those waters!  Hint, there are about a DOZEN Photoshop products (or at least there were).
    I hardly think that the difference between a full purchase and an upgrade is analogous to the differences amongst "about a DOZEN" products.

  • Color and size changed when upgraded to photoshop CS5

    Hi, I created a flyer in an older version of photoshop and when I upgraded to CS5 the colors and print size changed. This is particularly distirbing b/c this is a flyer/advertisment for work that was almost at the final stage. They are quite small changes, but changes that need to be corrected just the same. The colors look different (duller) on the screen and in print while the size became smaller when I print (to pdf and the printer). My print settings are the same as before as are my color settings (CMYK). I am fairly new at creating flyers in photoshop, so I am hoping this is a simple fix. Thanks.

    Are you 100% certain you are using the same color profiles throughout? That print size issue might be specific to your printer driver... CS5 has a completely rewritten print handling which may not correctly cooperate with your printer driver or conversely the driver might need to be updated...

  • Upgrade to Photoshop CS5 with Mac OS 10.4.11

    I am running Tiger 10.4.11 Tigger as I have film scanners that cannot run on the newer 10.5 and 10.6 OS. Can I upgrade to CS5 while running Mac OS 10.4.11. I am using two dual-core intel Xeon processors.

    Jeff will creative suite 4 web premium run with Mac os 10.4.11?
    Michael
    No...
    Leopard 10.5.4 (I think it's 10.5.4, might be 10.5.5) is minimum...the
    installer won't even run in Tiger...
    Time to do a dual boot install...or a new scanner.

  • Upgrading to Photoshop CS5 from Photoshop CS4 Upgrade

    I want to upgrade from CS4 to CS5, but CS4 is an upgrade. Can I still upgrade to CS5 even though CS4 is an upgrade?

    Yes. That is, after all, the point of selling people upgrades with every new version.

  • After upgrading to Photoshop CS5, my custom shortcuts no longer work.

    They show up correctly in my pull down menu bars but they no longer do anything when I hit the keys.  I'm baffled enough to go back to CS4 where they still work.  Anybody?

    I just did the upgrade and imported my settings.  Sorry but it's been 
    quite a while since my upgrade and I don't remember the specifics.  
    However, as I said, the shortcuts are displayed in the active pull 
    down menus just as the normal shortcuts are.

  • I upgraded from Photoshop CS5 to CS6

    The older version remained in memory and sometimes opens instead of the newer version. Can I uninstall CS5 without interferring with the functionality of CS6?
    I have one copy running Windows 7 32 and the other running Windows 8 64.
    Harvey

    Hi Mylenium,
    Out of curiosity, is that strictly necessary? Where multiple versions are installed, I've always uninstalled earlier versions without any issues. Never had to uninstall everything then reinstall the latest.
    Just curious.

  • Dear Mac Pro upgrade hardware & Photoshop CS5 64 bit speed experts...

    I'm an illustrator that works w/ brushes(can they ever get fast enough ?) in PS CS5 and, at times, some very large files:
    Mac Pro  2 x 3 GHz Quad-core Intel Xeon ("early 2008"), 20 GB or RAM
    OS 10.6.6 Running in 64bit
    Boot(system only) drive: 60 GB OWC Mercury Extreme SSD
    Data drive(user folder): 860 GB Striped RAID - from 3 partitions of 3 7200 RPM drives
    Scratch drive: 96 GB Striped RAID - from 3 partitions of 3 7200 RPM drives
    Storage drive: 1 TB (includes time machine partition)
    What is my next "biggest bang for the buck" hardware move for speed of PS CS5 (done lots of reading on the software prefs/settings)?:
    Is it still more memory - 24 GB?
    Or a single OWC SSD drive for data(120 GB -- I can dump a lot more items in data to storage HD)?
    Or a smaller OWC SSD for scratch?
    Thank you!

    Mac Pro 2 x 3 GHz Quad-core Intel Xeon ("early 2008"), 20 GB or RAM
    3GHz in 2006 is not the 2.8GHz 2010. But if 20GB works for you, adding an SSD boot drive, and an SSD for scratch might be good investments for now instead. 5365 (Woodcrest 8-core) are still a little expensive.
    DDR3 is of course faster, more bandwidth, and not having to deal with FBDIMMs.
    $3100 for 3.33 4-core / 3-4 x 8GB for 24-32GB RAM might not be best investment.
    Booting in 64-bit mode pays a dividend.
    Barefeats has gone head to head with 2008s 2.8/3.0/3.2 vs the newest Mac Pro 2009/2010s.
    The nice thing is that CS5 has only lately begun to catch up to Snow Leopard, and there will be another round of catch-up if you want a year with Lion and whenever CS6 (which will be better optimized).
    You can't add 5870 and gain much (not the PCIe 2.0 bandwidth) or Quadro 4000 (wrong EFI firmware). PCIe 3.0 is probably another year plus away.
    People that went from 2006 to 2008 felt the difference even though that too was "small" it was 2.8GHz but 8-core.
