Or the Nik collection plugins are another option version 2 is free from when Google owned it. Can I still use the photoshop, and illustrator without it?
If not what should I do? Were you using the Internet method of activation? I thought the authorization code was only needed for phone activation, which no longer works as far as I know. Hi, so i just bought the dvd version of lightroom 6 and i have an iMac that no longer has a disc drive. So i was going to borrow a family members disc drive to install the program, but my question is do i need to have the disc in the computer at all times while i am using the program?
If you use a computer with no disc drive, I think you can download the trial version of Lightroom from adobe. All you should really need from the box is the serial number. Ugh this subscription model stinks. Thanks Rob. Definitely as good as anything more recent.
Probably just for that reason. I mean it! What is wrong with you? Let people create from their imagination instead of using it all just to run the limited tools? Hi Conrad. Thank you for a very informative article. But I simply can not afford an upgrade. But my choices of using some other software, such as Final Draft will no longer be available soon. Any honest suggestions? Thank you Conrad! This option would let you modernize your OS so that you could run current software such as iTunes for your iPhone, because El Capitan is the second-newest Mac system and still widely supported.
The problems with this option are:. Say a limited budget of just a few hundred dollars to get a more recent but not new Mac capable of running For example a mid Mac mini is supported by OS X It would be ready to run, and the new OS would let you run the latest software so you can upgrade your iPhone. You need to keep your CS5 applications running if the Adobe Creative Cloud plans for the current versions are outside your budget.
Adding a used newer Mac to run the latest software while keeping the old Mac on A Mac mini may be a good option.
I can always connect both systems to one another when I need to. The only other issue I see is about affordability with large monitors. Or do you think finding an inexpensive if I can find one used iMac may be the way to go?
You might try the reviews at the TFT Central web site. But within that budget you might find a good standard sRGB gamut, conventional resolution display, and those still get the job done as well as they ever have. Hopefully that website will help you find a good monitor. I can run Sierra which would be ideal for some of the now discontinued applications, sans the Adobe suite.
With a head injury, having everything in one small work space to toggle back and forth between is confusing for me now unfortunately. I know with the physical constraints I have makes finding something that would work tough, and the limited budget makes it near impossible.
But I must remain hopeful and keep looking. You never know what someone has to offer at any given time. Conrad, thank you again for your suggestions and all of for help. This is probably way too late a reply. Can you recommend me any other product without subscription? There is also a free program called Inkscape on Mac and Windows.
There are more options than that, but those are the ones that immediately came to mind. I have been using the Affinity tools for over a year now on a Mac platform. Wonderful apps and if you an old Macromedia Freehand guy like me, Affinity Designer has many features consistent with Freehand. Highly recommended from this designer 30 years in the biz.
Right on! Thank you! On a different note, I was planning on picking up a mid 27 inch iMac when my sister gave me her Hi, I am running Adobe Photoshop Version: This was released back in June According to Wikipedia, there were few updates to this before they went to the subscription model?! But I could not find any updates to download from Adobe. Or did Adobe go to the subscription model right after this version?
I am not sure. Also, I am due for a computer upgrade soon and no longer have the 64 bit software. If I decide to keep the version I have and not go to the subscription model, Adobe only offers the 32 bit version of what I have on their website. Any ideas on how I can keep running the 64 bit version? All versions after that are available only as part of a Creative Cloud subscription. Is your application named Adobe Photoshop CC ?
If there is a CC in the name, that means it is a Creative Cloud subscription application. Do you remember how yours was originally installed? As far as updates, all updates released after the introduction of Creative Cloud are distributed through the Creative Cloud application which manages all Creative Cloud software , not as downloads from the website. Regarding the bit download you found, that was a rare exception. If you have a bit version of Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.
In other words, like all other Creative Cloud software, the bit version of Photoshop CC is available only through the Creative Cloud application. If you choose to subscribe to Creative Cloud, you will be able to install any version of Photoshop between CS6 and the current version CC at this time. A problem with CC versions of Adobe software is that they require a high speed internet connection to even boot the application.
I was in Costa Rica in January and my internet connection was not fast enough for the Adobe authentication and so I could not use Lightroom CC during my trip. I really hope Adobe creates a custom subscription package for video professionals like it does for photographers. Nice of Adobe to shun all costumers under finance regulations not allowed to use cloud options due to compliance reasons and protected environments not allowed direct internet access.
Great thanks think its time to find other products or yellow pages for second hand license key. I have a Mac mini late and have a legacy version of creative suite 6. In general CS6 applications should work.
That will help ensure that they will run properly. I have used photoshop for close to 10 years now and when they went to a sub plan I signed up for it I had no choice like most. I had CS6 and like to own what I buy so the subscription crap pissed me off enough to go looking for other produces. If you are an illustrator like me I would recommend Krita. Hi, I am reading through this thread with some concern, as I am in the same boat as most of the respondees— older MacBook, older OS, complete CS6, hate the cloud, want to own my stuff, etc.
I am going to look into Krita as you suggest. Wanted to ask what you are finding as far as compatability with others. Are you able to save and send and import and work with tiffs, jpgs, pdfs, all of the normal, accepted formats, interchangeably? If someone sends you something can you open and edit it? I am sure I will find some answers in researching Krita and other options: just wanted a bit of feedback from someone who is in the trenches as I am.
I do all of the web and graphic design for our websites, product packaging, design of flyers and collateral, am on these programs daily, etc. Adobe is a pure rip off, it should be qualified as thief and consumer abuser. Cancelling valid license transfer from a machine to another when you have a 2 machines install license is a pure joke.
If you installed, activated and registered the software with your Adobe account, you should be able to deactivate it again on-line and install and activate it on another computer, provided you actually own the perpetual Adobe license for that software.
Check your Adobe account to see what products are registered there. It is not legal for volume license holders to sell individual licenses. Adobe keeps records of all their registered licenses. If you purchased the software license, you should be able to deactivate and activate it per the end user license agreement. Contact Adobe either by phone or on-line. Then there are crooks, who sell pirated software, which of course is completely illegal.
Be it Microsoft, Intuit or Adobe, they are not getting a free pass into my credit cards. Anyone with a bit of sense understands the security risk of corporate breaches. To me this subscription system is admission that the next version is just not good enough for most customers to upgrade to. A happy user of CS5. Hi Conrad, thanks for the in depth information here. I have an opportunity to buy Photoshop CS6 extended in an online store flipkart.
Now I do not quite understand the implcations here, does it mean that I can not sell any of my own images that I create or enhance with the software? Thanks for your answer, Michiel. Hi Michiel, that does not sound like a normal Adobe license. Normally, you are free to sell whatever you make with Photoshop.
The store may be questionable if it is not a full legitimate license. Hi again, Well, the shop itself is one of the largest Indian online stores which is odd, but I do think you are correct. Thanks for your swift reply Conrad. They are stored on the cloud. If and when you unsubscribe, you loose your files.
Is this true? Hi Janx, that is absolutely false. The applications continue to work like they have — installed locally on your computer, opening and saving documents locally on your computer. It is possible to do all your work even if you are completely cut off from an Internet connection.
Use of cloud storage and services are optional. Personally, I store very few of my files using Creative Cloud storage. I still keep them on my computer and back them up at my location. If you stop subscribing, the applications stop working, but the documents remain with you. If I stopped paying for Photoshop, I would open the files in other programs that can open Photoshop files, like Affinity Photo.
If you use Lightroom Classic CC, much of the program still works after you stop paying. You can still see, organize, and print photos, but the editing module is disabled. The new Lightroom CC not Classic CC does default to storing all your photos in the cloud, so that you can reach them from any of your desktop or mobile devices, like the way Google Photos works.
If you stop paying, you have one year to download all your photos from the cloud, and Adobe provides a free bulk download tool for you to retrieve all your Lightroom CC photos in one step. There are two main differences between Creative Cloud and the old Creative Suite. All desktop applications are now installed from the cloud installer; installer discs are no longer available. Also, Creative Suite was just a set of desktop applications, while Creative Cloud is a system of desktop and mobile applications tied together with cloud services.
But again, it is possible to subscribe to Creative Cloud, use only the desktop applications, and ignore everything else, if you wanted. SaaS reminds me of how King Gillette made his money with razors — long term purchases of proprietary products. I was able to download copies of the Adobe CS2 Installers with serial numbers that Adobe accidentally released into the wild when the CS2 activation servers failed.
I have copies of the installers on both a flash drive in my safety deposit box, and my desktop RAID 1. Hi, I just installed Photoshop CC, without lightroom or any other apps. When I open the app, it says 6 days left in trial. Are they gonna ask me for payment info after those 6 days or what? There is a free trial period. Has anyone tried to use CC one month at a time? Only reason to remove CS5 is to save disk space, but this too after making sure that CS6 is firing on all cyclinders.
Common practice, keep the old version on the computer for a while, just in case. Legal owners of Adobe products, can use it on 2 computers use on one computer at a time, and not simultaneously , however software must be activated on both computers.. Therefore you would need to deactivate on one computer, should you purchase or replace one computer. If you fail to deactivate, and install a copy on a new computer, you would have used up your legal 2 activations, and then you have to call tech support to explain.
Sometimes, in the past, I have uninstalled and did a complete reinstall when I had problems with Photoshop CSx. Here I would always deactivate the product, uninstall the product, reinstall fresh and activate the product It's a plug-in you can dl and install. It was not included in cs5 but seperate plug-in you could dl from the adobe website. Wish I had read this thread before I uninstalled my CS5 an hour ago! Still, CS6 is looking good.
I'm a little confused. CS6 has a stand-alone OilPaint filter that I tried and can't get the same effects out of in regards to a smudge-like appearance. The Pixel Bender plugin will not work in CS6, as I understand it, so are you telling me that the old version of OilPaint can be downloaded as a stand-alone plugin and placed in CS6? Are you saying you have successfully installed and used Pixel Bender in CS6? Everything I have heard is that it is not compatible with CS6 several views shown on Ronny's link So i presumed it should work.
Instead of making the old plug-in compatible, they put oil piant into cs6 in favour of the much better cs5 downloadable plug-in. I can't get the same results with the cs6 plug-in as with the old pixelbender plug-in, much better. Maybe there is a plug-in goeroe somewhere that is able to make the pixelbender plug-in compatible. Maybe it crashes because it needs something that is not in cs6.
Pixelbender has more features then the new oil paint plug-in. It seems the new oil paint plug-in makes use of the new gpu engine It might take longer to operate and calculate but the cpu would take over the calculations, bypassing the gpu features.

CS6 will not! He is four years old and considered end of life, will never be updated. The cs5 student cs6 upgrade.
Fabitss I'm sorry, but the education versions cannot be upgraded because of the significant reduction. You can find more details at Adobe Creative Cloud for students and teachers Adobe. Lost in the world of the CS5 to CS6 upgrade.
Created this account. CS5 design standard license added to this account. Totally lost as to where I can actually buy or arrange this upgrade. Anyone who can help me please leave a comment or a suggestion. I would gladly appreciate it! I start a class of digital media at the College and CS5 is what is configured on the computers and manual are also on CS5 as well. They don't have not upgraded to CS6 yet. I mainly Photoshop , Illustrator and Flash Professional in this class.
I just paid for and downloaded the creative cloud and everything relates to the CS6. My question is if I want with the help of Prof. Or CS6 allows as long as I do not use the newer parts of the program? It will be also consistent issues to say for example I am doing a project and goes and comes from my computer at home with CS6 working on it at school CS5?
Once again using only the three programs I mentioned above. When you save a fla depending on the cs6 that you want to open with cs5, use "save under" and select document Flash CS5. If you fail to do this and save as document CS6, Flash at your school will not be able to open this document and displays a message "unrecognized file format". Thanks for the reply Jirka. If you do a search for "online swf to video", you will find a number of converters. If you have the original FLA you can open it in Adobe animate, and who can make a very good quality of video export.
If you just want to view the SWF file, double click it, there is a very good chance that you have installed Flash Player. No matter what press you can read it, Flash Player is built into Chrome, IE 11 and Edge, and it is always available as a plugin for other browsers.
More or less all the machines can still see Flash based Web pages. The user may need to click a button to give permission to the page to use a plugin, but it is not too hard to do. I am running CS5 and want to switch to CS6 - if possible. CS5 was an upgrade to the CS4 versions. So, I just download the CS6 1. I'm not interested in CC, especially with my slow connection speed. I'm not clear as to where we can go to the download either, assuming that this is possible.
Once you click on buy next to Photoshop CS6, it shows you more options to choose the version and platform. I want to upgrade CS5 to CS6. Here's the situation, I bought the version of CS5 for Mac's teaching a few years back. I have now bought a decent PC, so I initially wanted to do a change of platform, but the office staff aide said that I could do only with CS6 so now I want to move to CS6 so I can perform the Swap of the platform.
However, I would like to know, before elapse and buy the upgrade that will work Is it important that I have the teacher version? I will be able to upgrade with it? If someone has been in the same situation? What do need me to upgrade?
