Upgrading From PS5 to CC -- Help

I'm running a legal version of PS5 on a Mac. It's paid for so I saw no need to upgrade. But when I moved to MacOs Mojave, PS5 began to fail, a little at a time until it's now virtually unusable. Looks like I'm going to have to finally upgrade to CC. If anyone can help me, I'd love to find a step by step guide to purchasing and downloading CC and installing it, especially with respect to PS5 and all the files on my system that might need to be removed either before or after the CC install. Others have gone through this and I'm hoping for some reference to the pitfalls and proper sequence for this process.

 

Thanks for any help, links, pointers anyone might be inclinded to share.

Just take out the photography plan, which includes the latest version of Photoshop, plus upgrades, as they become available, plus Lightroom, and costs about $10 a month.

Lots of useful new features in the recent versions of Photoshop!

Thanks for the reply!

 

I'm upgrading from PS5. I need to know a number of things first:

 

1) Should remove it before installing CC?;

 

2) Do I absolutely need to subscribe to Creative Cloud before I can use subscription CC, or can I download and run the CC photography subscription apps without a seperate Creative Cloud subscription?;

 

3) If I encounter problems, is there an Adobe cleaner or tool to help remove PS5 files that might conflict?

 

Not my first rodeo. What often sounds easy with complicated apps can become a cluge. Best to know as much as possible first, backup, and hope. I'm not finding much support directly from Adobe, which troubles me. When buying a car, the sales people rush to greet you. After the purchase is final is where Yelp gets most low ratings. Adobe offered me a robot AI to upsale, which is useless.

 

But again, thanks for helping!

1 it's up to you, it should run along side CC without issue

2 the CC subcription is related to the apps you pay for, the Creative Cloud is an app that you use to download your paid for apps, it's not a separate entity
