Question

Photoshop CS3 help please!

I am running a very old version of Photoshop, CS3, on my Macbook combined with a very old Mac OS, Yosemite 10.10.

As I understand it if I upgrade my OS beyond 10.10 I’ll run into problems as CS3 doesn’t work properly with Sierra, High Sierra etc and not at all with Mojave.

What version of Photoshop would I need therefore to work with Sierra, High Sierra etc? I have an opportunity to purchase a CS 6 upgrade very cheaply but can you upgrade directly from CS3 to CS6, or can you only upgrade to CS6 from CS5. Furthermore would CS6 cure my OS upgrade problems or does CS6 have similar issues with Sierra, High Sierra etc…

Sorry for all the questions but thank you for the answers…

    Mostly eBay might sell CS6 upgrades, but they might not working. If you feel the gamble you can use PayPal buyer protection. Adobe used to sell CS6 upgrade but that was more than 7 years ago. You should think to get Creative Cloud, they even sell 1 year pre-paid photography plan.

    eBay  has a reputation for being a pirates den.  It's not a fit place for buying legit software.  Don't set yourself up to get ripped off or worse, your computer infected with malware.  It's just not worth the risks.   Photoshop CC on the Photography Plan is well-worth the price and very affordable.

    Sierra does not support the CS6 installers. You can try these work-a-rounds. Keep in mind that you can get the older versions of Adobe software in Adobe's Creative Cloud.

    Hi

    Alarm bells should be ringing here as Adobe don't sell CS6 any longer, you can of course purchase the Photography plan for $9.99/month which includes new releases

    Adobe ARE NOT SELLING CS6. Not in any form. If you believe you have been offered it by Adobe support, you are probably dealing with imposters/scammers. This happens constantly, and is a terrible thing. How did the offer come to you?
