I have CS5 and want CC. Should I upgrade my CS5 or is this the complete program already? And can I have CC on two computers and my CS5 on a third?

CS5 is not the same as CS6 which is not the same as CC ( subscription based month to month). The advantage of CC is that it will likely adapt to the new Win 10 and includes the up-to-date Lightroom program. You cannot just buy CC only rent. Stop paying and you loose the program. CS5 is fine and may not be worth an update to CS6 let alone CC unless there is some special feature you require or plan on a new Win 10 computer in a few months. It is probably best to wait for Win 10 and see what Adobe plans next.

Hello Daphne! This version includes: Photoshop CS6, Illustrator CS6, InDesign CS, Acrobat X pro, Bridge CS, and the Media Encoder CS6. Is there anything specific about these features that you have questions on? - Brandon T.

Yes. The ShuttleXpress and Pro come with presets already for Flash CC, CS 5.5, CS 6. FYI here's a screenshot of settings Flash CC https://db.tt/5bnoUs0V

The minimum Mac OS required to run Adobe Photoshop CS5 is OS X 10.5.7. A multicore Intel processor is required. The complete list of system requirements is available from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-photoshop.html However - if you have 10.6.8 (minimum) and the cash for the application, I have found CS6 to be a very worthy upgrade.

It is basically a Windows Surface unit with Windows 8 but with a better chip and memory. You should be able to load Photoshop to it. it has enough room, and during my research I read reviews from a number of people saying Photoshop works great. I haven't loaded my CS4 version, because the preloaded Corel X3 trial is so much better for drawing and painting. I'll be getting the full version once the trial expires. It doesn't have a DVD drive, so if you want to load from discs, you'll need an external. I picked a Samsung unit up from Amazon for 35 bucks. You can also purchase direct downloads as well, although that won't help if your existing Photoshop is disc only. Hope that helps.

Adobe has moved to a subscription model- you pay a certain amount every month and you have access to the newest version of their Creative Suite. CS6 was the last to be released on a disc. Personally, I wanted a disc so I would own the program and not have to pay a monthly fee, so I got CS6- works for me. I just didn't want to have projects that I cannot open because I did not pay a subscription that month. The life of a freelancer is variable and some months are good and some are slow- I wouldn't want to be in a position where I am in a slow month and am offered work I can't do because I can't afford the monthly fee. It isn't a lot but- kind of the principle of the thing. If I have a file on my computer- art I have created- I want to be able to have a functional program that will open it up. Otherwise it feels like my art is held hostage. So, it is called Legacy because it is not the newest version which is not on disc.

When you install the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 Upgrade, you be prompted to enter the serial number for a prior version of Lightroom (Lightroom 1, 2 or 3 will work) as well as the Lightroom 4 serial # that comes with the upgrade. When Lightroom 4 is installed, it does not overwrite an existing version of Lightroom that is on your system - so after installation you would have Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4 on your system. Once you're comfortable with the newer version, feel free to uninstall the prior version if you choose. Jeffrey Tranberry Adobe Systems, Product Manager, Chief Customer Advocate

Yes. This is the standalone Lightroom application which you pay for once. I am a photographer and use Lightroom most of the time, even though I have CS6. Creative cloud will be useful if you need the power of Photoshop for image manipulation & creation. Lightroom as a stand alone is more than good enough for image enhancement and localised adjustments.

Don't bother. Highly specialized apps (like those in CS3) you want to run natively. And the mac version is very good. Call Adobe; they DO offer a cross-platform upgrade (there is cost, but it's significantly less than buying a new product). You'll be much happier in the long run, and save time running them natively.

My version of Final Draft 8, which I bought two years ago, allows the purchaser to install the program on two computers simultaneously. To put it on a third computer, you must take it off one of the others. I don't remember the exact procedure, but I recall that it's outlined in Final Draft's website. If not, I did find the guy on their tech support line helpful.

Sure, But preferably you should use the mac version. You could install cs6 windows version if you plan to use windows via boot camp, but it won't run properly if you are planning to use parallels or similar.

Edius. Because you can use your existing pc. I tried Sony Vegas Pro and didn't like it. Adobe CS5 is too expensive and requires too big of a computer. Edius works on any pc and laptop as far as I know.

I would also like that information. I am sitting on the fence and wondering which I should buy PC or MAC?Also how do I transfer my folders? I also have a laptop that is a PC and want to be able to use it as well. My family all say get a desktop MAC. But I am not sure it is worth it for me. I am a writer and I get my e-mail and that is about it. I hate being on the learning curve with the MAC. What to do?

The download is the complete program.. you don't have to have a previous version installed to upgrade. You need the license for your old version however to be eligible to receive the 'crossgrade' license.

It is the same thing. I got dupped into buying the program and the upgrade. I ended up with two copies of the same program. By the way, Sketchbook Pro is a great program. It is extremely easy to use and you can do almost everything the more expensive programs can do for a tenth of the cost.

I didnt yet. Only my laptop so far. Im sure you can. Its such a good program that even if they only gave you one load one computer, it would dtill be worth it. Im sure you can load on both.
