Upgrading CS3 to CS4

  • May 3, 2016

I have an older Mac, specs are:

Mac OS X 10.5.8

Dual 2.3 GHz Power PC G5

2 Gb DDR2 SDRAM

I have the CS3 Master Collection installed on it, however I am needing to create content using After Effects CS4.  Since there is no way that I am aware of to use a CS4 AE Project with CS3, is it possible to upgrade only After Effects to CS4?  And I truly only need After Effects, the other programs I am fine with staying as CS3 ... well at least for now.

Another option I am willing to consider is some method to be able to use CS4 comps to CS3.

Can anyone give me any advice?

Thanks in advance!

Todd

Adobe does not sell older versions of their software, so if you truly want CS4 then you will have to find some third party vendor and take your chances there.  If you could work by saving your CS4 files as CS3 files then you could install the trial version and you'd have 30 days to get the saving back to CS3 accomplished.

You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below.
