    Upgrading Photoshop CS5 Extended

    John_Picton Community Member

      Hi all

       

      I have Photoshop CS5 Extended and want to upgrade.

       

      When I got to the Adobe Upgrade page I cant see Cs6 Extended, just CS6

       

      If (as I have CS5 extended) I upgrade will I get Extended? If not where do I look for the upgrade to CS6 Extended?

       

      TIA

       

      John

          You should be OK.  To upgrade means staying on the same path.  You would have to pay extra to go back to standard version.  Your serial number determins whether it is standard or extended version as download or disk is the same.

           

          If you download I recommend you burn a copy of the download files and store it in safe place with activation code in case you ever have to reinstall on new harddrive.

              Lucky I wasnt ready to pull the trigger when I asked the question.

               

              Unfortunatly the answer given by Curt is not right.

               

              It looks like there are 2 upgrade prices - one for CS6 and one for CS6 Extended. There is a rediculous difference in the price.

               

              I have CS5 Extended and the basic upgrade (IE to CS6) is £188 - the upgrade to CS6 Extended is £347!!!.

               

              I wont do this but it makes me realise why people look elsewhere for their upgrades. I just wont bother at all.......
