√ Upgrading to Photoshop Extended 6 ?

Hi
I just received my Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium not as an upgrade but as a new package. On my iMac, the CS5 Suite is installed. My Photoshop has many commercial plugins. Is that an issue. I don't want to scrap those precious plugins.
Moreover, my space is limited on my hard disk; will all the CS5 software be trashed and replaced by the CS6 sofware or will there be duplicates for all of them.
Please help, I almost lost

Firstly, Installing CS6 will not override existing CS5 from you machine. They both will exist side by side. If you have space constraints, its better you uninstall CS5 prior to installing CS6.
Secondly, PS is made to work with several different plugins. You should not face any issues in using those plugins with PS CS6 unless they don't support it.
Now, for migrating your PS CS5 plugins and presets to PS CS6, i would recomment you to check the below article.
Migrate saved presets from an earlier version of Photoshop or import/export them : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/979607?tstart=0

I want to upgrade from Photoshop Extended CS5 to PS Extended CS6 (I do NOT want CC) but have been unable to find this at a sensible price (or sometimes at all). Help, anyone please?

I want to upgrade from Photoshop Extended CS5 to PS Extended CS6 Mac (I do NOT want CC) but have been unable to find this at a sensible price (or sometimes at all). Help, anyone please? This is in UK, btw!

What do you consider a sensible price? PS CS6 extended is available only when you purchase the CS6 Suite, which is around $1000 for the upgrade from CS5. PS 6, which is not extended, is about $200, but I'm not sure about upgrading to a single app from a suite. Adobe used to allow it, but I'm not sure about now. PS CC and Lightroom 5 combo is $9.99 a month or PS CC alone for $19.99 or the whole CC suite for $29 a month. The latest CC apps are "extended."

Upgrade to Photoshop extended cs5

I want to upgrade from Photoshop CS5 to Photoshop EXTENDED CS5 on my Mac.
The problem: I can go through the whole installation process without any problems. But when the installation is finished and I start the software, there are no EXTENDED functions visible anywhere.
I've repeated the process several times, always with the same results.
Hope very much that someone can help me. (Adobe won't. They're all up in the cloud!!!)

The download is the same one for the Extended and the Standard versions of Photoshop.
It is the serial number that you input that determines whether you see the extended features or not.
Presumable you have a serial number for CS5 Standard.
Your quandary is that Adobe won't help you because CS5 is obsolete and no longer sold. Therefore you cannot buy a license for CS5 Extended at this time or at any time in the feature.
If you really need the Extended features, you need to upgrade to CS6 or adopt the subscription model with monthly payments f o r e v e r… The moment you stop the payments, your software ceases to work abruptly at the end of the month.

Upgrading photoshop cs6 to photoshop extended cs6

I have photoshop CS6 and I would like to know whether it is possible to upgrade to photoshop extended CS6.
When buying, the website excludes "I have photoshop CS 6" when upgrading to the photoshop CS 6 extended version.

This path does not exist officially, but feel free to contact sales and inquire about an upsell.

Upgrade CS4 to CS5 design standard - want Photoshop Extended

try as i might i cant find a way of calling a sales agent on the adobe website. i am trying to understand the following:
1. what is best way of getting photoshop cs5 EXTENDED without the nonsense of being upsold by adobe ...ie i have CS4 design standard and want photoshop cs5 extended. - do i need to upgrade photoshop individually and at a much more expensive price ( and then in due course each component individually at higher prices?) or is there a way to get photoshop extended in the CS5 design standard suite'
2.. Does lightroom3 actually SYNC to flickr ( or facebook, or picassa) or just transfer?
3. is there actually a sales number to call for help

No. You do not have a Photoshop license...you have a Creative Suite license.
Unfortunately, Adobe does a pretty poor job as far as this type of information is concerned but as I said earlier, the only way you can get to PS Extended is by upgrading to Design Premium.
I personally believe DP is the best bang for the buck in the whole CS family. I've got an article on my website, http://theindesignguy.com/purchase-advice.shtml, which you may find informative.

Cannot direct upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 Extended

Despite the information in various spots on Adobe's website, it appears that it's not possible to simply upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 Extended. After entering the CS5 serial number, the installer asks for the serial number of a "qualifying product". This includes a dropdown list that only has
Photoshop CS5
Photoshop CS4 Extended
Photoshop CS3 Extended
Here's the view:
Entering the CS2 serial number == fail.
A call to Adobe support get past this issue, basically reading out a challenge/response from the installer to the guy on the phone. But this seems remarkably stupid to me. Was it really more effective to force me (and anyone else following this upgrade path) to call tech support just to install the software I just past $350 for? And if this was the plan, why not SAY SO ON THE ADOBE WEBSITE?!?
Has anyone else run into this issue? If so, was calling tech support the only way out?

You are correct in wishing Adobe made it clear that you do need to go through Customer Service to accomplish this.
Most users make the purchase through Adobe and straighten this out before installing.

Can I upgrade from CS3 Extended to CS6 Extended? [was:Photoshop]

I had photoshop cs2 and then I upgrade to CS3 extended. Can I upgrade that to C6 extended?

As far as I'm aware you can only upgrade to CS6 Extended from CS5 Extended

Upgrade from Photoshop cs6 extended Demo to full non extended software

Hi there
I was wondering, when upgrading my Photoshop CS6 extended demo to the full version of Photoshop CS6 (non extended) does the extended demo need to be completely removed first to prevent conflicts?

Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CS6 Extended are installed from the same files, available for download. By default, the trial enables the complete feature set in Photoshop CS6 Extended. If you choose to purchase Photoshop CS6 rather than Photoshop CS6 Extended, you may simply enter your serial number for Photoshop, and the Photoshop Extended features for 3D design and scientific analysis will be turned off and hidden from view.

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.

Problem upgrading from Photoshop CS2 to CS4 Extended

I purchased the retail box Photoshop CS4 Extended Upgrade (Windows) from a retail store ($349.99 + tax). I am upgrading from Photoshop CS2 and this is the version that the Adobe website says to purchase for this upgrade path. The problem is that CS4 doesn't see my installed, working, activated, and registered CS2 installation so it brings up the next screen offering to allow me to install it as a trial version OR list my qualifying product and serial number. The way that it offers to let me enter my qualifying product is via a drop down box with a single entry of CS3 Extended. No way of entering my CS2 there and it doesn't like my CS2 serial number entered with a CS3 product being shown there (says it isn't a valid CS3 serial number...of course it isn't). Does anyone know how to get this thing to install? Adobe tech support is gone until Monday and then I'll be at work, unable to try anything they might suggest.
Why does Adobe make upgrades so painful? I remember CS2 was a PITA and took Adobe tech support a week to figure out how to get it to install.

No, this shouldn't be extended to extended (I wouldn't expect to shell out $350 twice for extended). This is Adobe P/N 65015396 which their website says is for PhotoShop CS, CS2, CS3, and CS3 upgrades and retails for $350. The face of the box is identified as Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended Windows and the side of the box only says that I must have an "eligible older version of Adobe or Macromedia software." It also says to check the website, which says this P/N is what to buy for my upgrade path. A mess? YES!!!

Should i upgrade from photoshop cs3 extended to photoshop cs6 non extended

hi im just wondering should i upgrade from photoshop cs3 extended to photoshop cs6 NON extended...... would i loose options from my extended version?
also i dont use photoshop cs3 that much, does anyone think its worth me upgrading?
thanks
lee

Good day!
I think I read that with 2013 the upgrade path would be shortened, so you are probably not eligible for upgrading anymore.
Apart from that the benefit of purchasing the current version of Photoshop naturally depends on what you are doing with Photoshop (both in terms of which features you use and how much you use the application overall).
Smart Objects have been improved quite a bit, Puppet Warp is an interesting feature, Configurator allows for the easy creation of custom Panels that can combine Tools, Commands, Actions etc., …
But to judge the programm yourself you could just install the trial – mind you, the trial is Photoshop Extended, so you may want to consult the Reference on which features you would not get with Potoshop Standard.
You might also want to look into Cloud Licensing – or at least »Adobe« wants you to …

Do I have to upgrade to Photoshop CS6 Extended to edit videos?

I was looking at a video editing tutorial for CS6 yesterday and I wanted to try it myself, but when I opened the timeline I noticed that my version of the timeline and the one in the video were completely different. At first I thought that it was just because I had to upgrade to CS6 Extended to get the full video editing experience, but when I searched around I saw nothing that would suggest that that would be the case. Multiple people said that the regular CS6 version included the same video editing capabilities as the extended version, and the comparison chart on the Adobe website indicated the same thing. Am I missing something very simple or do I really need to upgrade to the Extended version to get that feature?
This is what my timeline looks like:

How do I switch between the two? I don't have the 'Create Frame Animation' box in the center of the timeline.
You need an open document before you'll see the button for choosing video or frame animation.
I also just noticed that the timelines that you had in your screencap look completely different from mine. The options are at the top rather than the bottom and the icons themselves look different. It's like we're using two different versions.
JJ's image of Timeline panels shows both types of timeline: video with transport controls at top and frame animation with transport controls at bottom.

Free Upgrade to Photoshop CS6 from CS5.5 upon release

I Purchased Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 production Premium (Student License) a month ago understanding that a free upgrade to Photoshop CS6 MAC. when available. How do I upgrade to CS6 now that it is released.

I’m in the same boat.
I knew this would happen so I sent in a support ticket and got a case number on the 22nd. I was told that I do qualify for the cs6 upgrade but I would have to wait. So I did and guess what – nothing came.
I spent the better part of an hour in chat and while they have agreed there is an issue and have “escalated” my problem to the “offline team”, they are now away for Memorial Day and I won’t hear back until at least Tuesday.
All I wanted was a link to my promo code or an explanation – I didn’t get either and now the studio I've booked out sits vacant all weekend.
I cannot imagine letting a client twist in the wind without delivering their project or an explanation as to why an extension is needed – It’s unfathomable. If Adobe cannot stick to their deadline they need to change it or explain why BEFORE the deadline passes. A simple email would suffice and any adult with any business experience would agree that this just is common sense.
What will Adobe do now? I predict I’ll get a form letter apology ( that’s not worth near the $300 I lost this weekend ) and finally a link to my promo code. No mentions of compensations or added value for my trouble.
Enjoy your extended weekend kids – status quo starts back on Tuesday...

What's the point of Photoshop extended?

Now we can easily get out of the "Extended" upgrade path, many users are asking themselves if they really need Photoshop Extended.
This article may cast some light on the dilemma.

There's added functionality for video, animation, forensics, medical, scientific and architectural workflows. Ignoring them to make an argument that 3D isn't worth the extra cost is convenient but flawed, IMO.
Maybe so, but frankly, does anybody use the features you mentioned? I don't know a single med tec/ surgeon who would use PS for counting cells or measuring x-rays. Their Java applets and special software do that much better and in a way that is really useful to them (aside from the fact, that PS doesn't even deal with all DICOM types to begin with....). And as someone with a strong background in 3D, animation and video, I could say quite a bit about how limited to downright useless some of those features are. As I've written a gigazillion times on my blog and elsewhere, I tend to side with the people who think that PS has lost its focus and tries to do too many things, only to fail miserably in several areas. That is compounded since it seems to me that when you try to solve specific problems, you seem to have a natural talent for opting for the most awkward, rigid and inconsistent solution imaginable such as Repoussé. If I may: A lot of what's going on in PS is based on the wrong assumption that people would be willing to grow a third arm to fix deficiencies of feature A by using feature B and that's where you are wrong IMO. Instead of really offering attractive solutions to potential new users, you are merely targeting users that have at least a passing knowledge of PS and are willing to compromise. And you are doing all this at the cost of not fixing your long standing usability, workflow and performance problems.

Can't install Photoshop Extended on Mac 10.5.4 components failed

One of our professors has a brand new iMac running 10.5.4
The machine has 4 GB of ram and Photoshop has never been installed on this system before.
The only Adobe product on the machine is Acrobat 8. (Not the reader - the actual program.) I tried to install Photoshop Extended - not from the Creative suite DVD set, but as a stand alone product that we bought.
The problem is the software will not install. I get the error message that the components failed.
I am in the administrator account.
The installer runs very slowly and then says that of the three components (one being Photoshop) only the shared components installed. The other two failed.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
John

Routine maintenance is imperative.
I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be.
I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be.
This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations. Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise.
Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) seldom helps.; Try it anyway, though.
====
Additionally, if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night.
If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large.
Also, from:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
NOTE:
There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction. The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject.

If you have DiskWarrior, run it regularly too.
