Open Photoshop CS5 and CS6

Aug 11, 2012 4:27 AM

Tags: #photoshop #cs5 #open #cs6

I can't open Photoshop CS5 and CS6 versions simultaneously. When I launch CS6, and then CS5, it takes me to CS6, and vice versa.

Is it possible to keep open the two versions? With Indesign I can do it.

    As far as I know that is normal behavior:  only one instance of Photoshop at a time.   Forum members have reported running two versions of Photoshop simultaneously using virtual machines on their computer (which emulate separate computers).

    Believe it can be done on a Mac.

    And only on a Mac.  On a PC acresofgreen is exactly right.  Only one can be open at a time.
