can you run two different versions of Photoshop on one computer? - GoFuckYourself.com

Mutt · 04-09-2009, 05:42 AM

is there a way that I can keep my Photoshop CS intact and working on my computer if I install a newer version of PS?

On macs, yes. Don't know about Windows these days.

last time i installed a new version of PS which is a long time ago, i installed CS(Photoshop 8) and I wanted to keep Photoshop 7, the installation of CS ate up and replaced PS 7.

I have 2 running, but one is on my c drive and the other on an external drive.. When I had them both on the same drive it gave me problems..

I had that happen when I went to CS2.

But so far, I can open both installations that I have running now.

Make a new partition and install it on that.

Deej · 04-09-2009, 08:51 AM

I had ps 7 and cs2 at one time... i think 7 is still here, not sure, dont use it...

But i know it was.

Itchy · 04-09-2009, 08:56 AM

I have cs2 and ps 7 installed and both work

Mutt · 04-09-2009, 08:59 AM

ok thanks for the replies - i'm gonna install the trial of CS4 and hope for the best. just got tired of doing PS tutorials and ending up at a dead end when the tutorial has steps using tools that aren't in CS Photoshop 8.

Mutt · 04-09-2009, 09:02 AM

was doing this tutorial and then realized CS doesn't have the Smart Sharpen tool that's used in the tutorial to make this awesome looking poster

ICEICEBABY · 04-09-2009, 09:06 AM

Thats quite possible. CS4 doesn't come with all the older plugins etc.. by default, it is posibble you have to download it from Adobe and install it. Same goes for the extract filter.

fris · 04-09-2009, 09:43 AM

when you install cs4 onto a pc with cs3, they are both kept intact

woj · 04-09-2009, 09:45 AM

It was possible in the past, not sure if the new versions play nicely together though...

UFGators2007 · 04-09-2009, 10:11 AM

I currently have CS3 and CS4 working on mine (Vista).

The Seduction of Art · 04-09-2009, 10:51 AM

I've used two versions on one windows computer no problem.

Of course if you want the issue solved definitively, they should explore it on the least exciting episode of MYTHBUSTERS ever.
