I'm thinking about upgrading to a Mac from a pc.

Nov 25, 2012 4:42 AM

AFter hearing all of the good stuff about Mac, I really want to upgrade. However I have thousands invested in my pc. Do I have to repurchase everything from adobe (cs5, Lightroom 4) over again at full price? Thanks for the info.

For CS5 you should be able get a cross-platform upgrade to CS6 for regular upgrade price. Since Lightroom 4 is current version, you can get a platform swap for a minimal processing fee. Both instances you need to contact customer support.

Hi. Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.

Another option is to join the Creative Cloud for US$49.99/month.

One benefit for owners of both Mac and Windows is that the Cloud allows you to activate the software on both Mac and PC (max 2 activations in total).

(a discounted rate is available for the first 12 months since you already own CS5)
