Can I still upgrade from Photoshop CS5 to CS6 for the Mac?

[Mylenium]

Yes, you can.

Not from Adobe anymore. Some guy on this site tipped them off and everywhere I check on Adobe.com I get directed to the cloud.  Still some downloads-cd available from some retail outlets. Didn't see any upgrades but I didn't look very hard

They've done their best to hide it away,

<a href="https://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_creativesu...">but this is the link</a>

, and the page should look like below... well, I'd show you the page only Adobe's stupid server keeps throwing me an error message, something about "contextual fragments."

I just checked 60 minutes ago, you could upgrade CS5 to CS6.

edit:

I just checked again now. Yes the upgrade path is still open from PSCS5 to 6. (the US Adobe site anyways). You just have to click the right links.

Download/upgrade worked for me.  Thanks.  I used my NAPP discount for $30 off.  I figure this may be the last PS version I buy (first version was PS4).  I'll not go the subscription route.  As for RAW converters, Lightroom should be there for a while, at least.  My concern is I've always converted to .dng because Adobe said they will always be there--now I wonder.  They'll be there for an exorbitant price.

What are the right links?

‌can I trade my Windows CS5 For a Mac version of CS5!

[John Waller]

‌No.

You'd have to pay to upgrade from CS5 Win to CS6 Mac.

[DickGray]

It's funny. PhotoRoy1 link lands in a page from Adobe that says something like "sure, you can call and buy Adobe Creative, but why would you? Buy the cloud service... "  arghhhh. Why they want to control us?

[evangel_hispanic84089369]

who will go that.. so their is no where to or somehow we can upgrade from cs5 to cs 6

Buying CS6 today is daft. It isn't supported any more and is already having trouble with the latest systems. If you are determined to throw $700 away on this instead of $10 a month which stays current, you have to call Adobe. They will confirm you are on an old system and intend to stay on it. But in my view if you won't subscribe it's time to find another photo editor.

But where the hell is the download software available. I've just paid for it and cannot find it!!!

Adobe GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER otherwise there will be a lot of us who will depart ADOBE!!!

I am fed up have to search all over the place for software which I have been using for 30 years.

Where the hell is the download - all I can find is Photoshop CC and I want CS6 - Where is it???

This is impossible - it was never like this. ADOBE you are out. £190 and still cannot find my software.

It is December 2, 2013, and I called the Adobe purchase telephone number to ask if I could upgrde from CS5 to CS 6.  They answered that I could not. 

Is there a way to shortcut this unwillingness.  I tried the link from pf22 above, and no upgrade option presents itself.  Or am I just SOL now, and thus headed to Aperture as my new editing platform?

You can always upgrade from CS5 to CS6 licence version.  Subscription verision is a different animal.

[SavantNeal]

Curt Y (or anyone else), how do I upgrade without buying the $700 full program version of CS6? 

I have spent thousands over the years on PS licenses and upgrades. It makes no sense to spend that much on a version that soon will no longer be supported by Adobe, which is now committed to CC.  

In fact I am wondering why I would spend, say, $200 to $300, for even an upgrade in light of Adobe's abandonment of photogrphers like me who often find themselves unable to connect with the Web but will still need to use an image editor.

[charles badland]

You can still upgrade from Photoshop CS5 to CS6. $199 USD for non-extended versions.

It is a little hidden and very convoluted, but from Adobe home page  go Products > Creative Suite 6 > Photoshop CS6 > Buy CS6 > Photoshop CS6> Buy ($699) and where it says "I want to buy: Full" click on "Full" dropdown menu and choose "Upgrade", then choose CS5 from the "I own" dropdown menu. You should see the price drop to $199.

[SavantNeal]

It worked!  Other than a slow download because of slow ISP connection, everything went exactly as Charles said t should.  Now I can avoid change for a few more years.  Change? To be avoided! 🙂

[Peter_Neate]

But it is time for Adobe to realise that a lot of their clients do not want cloud type software and the associated payment every month.

What about it ADOBE!

Do you feel guilty about the way you are treating those of us that have been loyal customers for many many years.

Give us the same access and recognition that you seem to be giving to those for the monthly payment system - or are you only concerned about getting the cash???

[TanBrae___]

I don't see where it says the upgrade is $199.00! I see $375.00 for upgrade from CS5.5, and $749.00 for the upgrade from CS5. Where is the $199.00 version, please?

I HATE the fact that Adobe seems to feel the need for subscriptions. Their products, while awesome, are expensive enough as licensed versions. To have to pay the price of a licensed version every year is just out of my means. Makes me SICK - I spent all that money on college, learned the CS5 version of Creative Suite, and now it will no longer be supported because Adobe has gotten greedier. If I had a job, it would be different.

[Peter_Neate]

You have my sympathy. But CS6 is available as an upgrade for about £200. It is however difficult to find the web page containing the advertisement - perhaps Adobe do not really want you to purchase it!!!

I agree about your comments on the Cloud version. It does seem that Adobe are just being rather too concerned with money and not their customers.

I had CS6 but have now had to change to CC as CS6 was unreliable in that it repeatedly requested the license number and the entry of such a long number each time was driving me mad. I ended up just using CS5.

I'll see how the CC version goes - but I do object very strongly to paying a monthly fee for software.

ADOBE - You are going to end up loosing a lot of customers.

[TanBrae___]

Thanks, Peter Neate!

I guess I maybe should have worded my question differently.

I have CS5 Creative Suite, Web Premium For Educational Individual Use Only.

Can I still upgrade that to CS6 Full Version? I want the whole suite to upgrade, not just one software. I am no longer a student, but may be later spring.

[marions20278426]

Adobe, here's one customer you've lost - I will never buy Adobe Creative Cloud software and pay a monthly fee. There are now plenty of other applications that are as good as the Adobe suites - and some of them are FREE. I think you've priced yourself out of the market Adobe!
