Why are there two updates for Photoshop

CC desktop shows updates for:
Photoshop CC
Photoshop CC (2014)
What are the differences?

Because apparently it is programmed deep, deep into Adobe's DNA that they cannot possibly manage to come up with a straightforward, clean, and logical installation process. It is demonstrably beyond what's possible for Adobe. I say that based on years and years of dealing with their byzantine, buggy, and bloated installers. The Cloud was supposed to magically make things better.
I also now have two versions of After Effects, Audition, Flash, Illustrator, Media Encoder, Muse, and Photoshop residing on my computer.
Why?
Well, because the Creative Cloud installer didn't really "update" the current software...it just installed new versions next to the old ones.
Why?
Beats the hell out of me. But I'm pretty sure if I expend my time to contact Adobe's support folks I will be told to go through some process of manually removing each copy of the old software. They won't know why the "upgrade" process worked this way, and they won't care. They'll just cheerfully advise me to waste my time cleaning up Adobe's mess. Again.
Looking forward to the day I no longer need to use Adobe products.
Are you listening, Apple?

  • Why are there two versions of Photoshop (CC

    After accidentally opening two parts of the same website in DW CC and DW 2014 CC, I uninstalled the older version.  Can someone tell me WHY the new version didn't overwrite the older one?  I assume that it is necessary to uninstall older versions, but this should be automatic on the upgrade shouldn't it?.  What is the reason for this? Kind of interested because it was unexpected.
    Years ago when upgrading from CS3 we discovered that the Photoshop PDF function could no longer make PDFs with pages in newer versions CS4 and CS5 (which clients wanted) so I have kept my CS3 Photoshop pgm just for making PDFs, while running the latest version for everything else.  Is it possible that Adobe depreciated some functions in this new release of CC2014 and that is the reason for both versions of CC?  Just putting it out there, I don't spend my vacations in Roswell, NM or anything like that.
    Thanks!

    Adobe, why are you making things so complicated...
    People pay for the cloud, so they want improvement, they want to go with the latest tools automatically.
    I'm a spoiled Mac user, where Apple always overwrites old apps, which is the most user friendly solution there is.
    Please do this as well, because it truly sucks to have two apps!
    Could you tell me how I get rid of the old version on a user friendly way, so my documents open with the new app.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Why are there no updates for the 800w

    I know there were 2 patches early on. The voice command works about 80% of the time, so I guess that's better than nothing; I can't see any improvement in the usb charging / recognition behavior; or let's just say it's still extremely poor.
    I look at the Blackberry Bold forum and see that there are updates for that already; in fact it looks almost continuous. That is, there are signs of activity from BB and none from Palm.
    Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

    What I was kinda hoping for with this new upgrade was a news column in the ministore...I think most fans now realize that it's the studios fault (thanks to Debbstar and others). What people don't know (me included) is WHY??? We want to know what's going on insead of speculating. Is there a contract legal issue regarding schedule changes at Sci Fi? Does this have something to do with the syndications coming out? Or maybe something to do with SG1's cancelation?? Fans hate being left in the dark more than they hate not being able to download their shows...well, almost as much anyway Jesus, I am a geek now. I'm complaining about a science fiction show. Lets all go picket!!

  • Is there a update for Photoshop Elements 8 that will support raw files from a Canon T3i 600d?

    Is there a update for Photoshop Elements 8 that will support raw files from a Canon T3i 600d?

    You have two alternatives:
    (1) Upgrade to PSE 9,10 or 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Are there new updates for camera raw for Lightroom 4, or only for Lightroom 5, as in 5.3 ?

    Are there new updates for camera raw for Lightroom 4, or only for Lightroom 5, as in 5.3 ?

    There will be no further camera support updates for Lightroom 4 beyond what is already listed in this table.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Only current versions of Lightroom (currently Lightroom 5.3) will have further camera support added.
    If you need to work with Raw files from new cameras you'll either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or join the Photoshop Photography Program (to get PC CC + LR5 + extras) or convert to DNG using Adobe's free DNG converter.

  • Why are there two lines showing when I  switch off my iPad where the cancel word is?

On the ones that show up with Phoenix as the time zone the times change. Also I have had some of the times showing on the calendar at an hour different that when I open the Appointment. It will show the correct time, but on the Calendar it is sometimes different. "
    From that information, it makes sense that your calendar is off.
    Phoenix is in another time zone part of the year.   When daylight saving changed, Salt Lake City and Denver changed, but Phoenix did not.   You may have set time and date to auto, but the Mac knows the time difference and is compensating for it.

  • Why are there two separate JWS forums?

    There's this forum and http://www.javadesktop.org/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=45 - shouldn't they be merged? Why are there two? Which one is the "official" one?

    This forum, (the java developers forums) pre-date javadesktop.org, and as can be seen by the total thread count (5000+ threads vs 64 topics) has a lot more activity on the yopic of Java Web Start.
    Javadesktop.org was created in 2003, and since it has much overlap with generic java development they also created a thread in their forum for Java Web Start.

  • Why are there two ns-httpd processes running for one instance of iws 6

    Hi all,
    I'm used to iWS 4.x where there's only one watchdog and one ns-httpd process running for any given install of iWS. Now in iWS 6.x I noticed there are two processes for the admin server and two processes for the actual single web server instance, along with two watchdogs.
    What are the extra web server instances doing? I noticed that there is a 'parent' relationship with the pid's, so I guess one is spawning the other, but why? If it's to have persistent state over restart, isn't that what uxwdog is for?
    Thanks in advance,
    James Huang

  • Why are there two 10.5.1 Updates?

    Why is there a smaller one and a larger, 110 MB one, and how do I know that I need to do the larger one? If you look at the "Permissions Warnings" post below, I am having a list of warnings when I do Verify Permissions. This is my only problem. Everything else works fine, so I don't want to mess up my computer. But I also don't know if these warnings are bad.
    Why would Apple put out two updates? How do I know if I updated the bigger or smaller one? Please help!!!

  • Why are there two separate packages for extra/zip and extra/unzip?

    The package info for both indicate that they come from the same website. It seems strange and inconsistent with what is normally expected. For example, there are not separate packages for gzip and gunzip or bzip2 and bunzip2.

    1. They are represented as distinct programs on the website.
    2. They are developed independently, they even have different version numbers.
    3. Although the binaries are very small, some people only need one of them. I never create zip files, but I have to unzip them often.
    4. They seem to have different dependencies.
