I need to move my copy of Photoshop from my old computer to my new computer.
Is it OK to just install it from the original disc on my new computer or will I need to uninstall it from my old computer first, then install it on the new computer?
My concerns are more related to licensing than technical issues. I have Photoshop CS4.
I have exhausted the disk space on my MacBook Pro and need to purchase a model with more space.  Can I move my CS6 to the new computer, and if so, how should I do so?

I'm changing my MacBook Pro to the the Retina display model, and I can't seem to find out how to uninstall CS6 on my old MacBook Pro, and install it on the new one. I've been to the Adobe site, but I'm lost.

Since we will only be doing occasional work in photoshop, mainly to edit the occasional .eps photo for our catalogue, it does not pay to upgrade. What can I do to enable use of this old program that I bought and paid for?. Are there open source solutions for editing eps files?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have Photoshop 8.0 on Windows XP. I recently upgraded my computer to Windows 7 Professional.   All the pictures are on an external hard drive. My problem is getting the tags to move. I have followed instructions on the internet but either the intstructions dont work or what I see on the screen doesnt match up with the instructions. Some of the tags show up on Imported Keywords, but not all the tags and some of the pictures that had tags no longer have tags. I have since added a few picts and a few albums. How do I get the rest of the tags to move the new new computer and still not lose any of the pictures or tags already on the new computer?

I would like to move them to another computer but I am struggling to find the correct files to copy and move. They are not anywhere that I can find in the actions or script folders.
What would be the file extension for a recording? Where do they live ?
I have just downloaded a free trial of photoshop. How do I get the pictures from my computer picture file to Photoshop to be edited?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 2 issues:
1) I have purchased a new computer and wish to move/copy/export all my photo's along with their Keywords & Tags to the new computer.
2) In doing the above will the pictures re-locate to the new computer in one directory or keep the same directory and sub-directories in tack? I have been saving my Pic's in a directory called: Pictures > Then by Year > Then by Month.
Moving the pictures from the old computer to new one is not the problem. It is maintaining the Directory Tree along with moving the Keywords and Tags.
Currently over 3,500 photos that I would rather not have to re-tag.
I'll need to move computers soon and I rely heavily on status flags, you know, Ctrl1, Ctrl2 etc to sort and prioritize my tens of thousands of images. I understand that if I set up my computers (Vista to Vista move) and install Photoshop CS4 and after that Transfer Files and Settings -
the info in Bridge (at least for the directory stucture for the old computer) will move over to the new computer. Has anyone actually tried this? It would be devastating if the Flags didn't transfer over - it would cost untold work.
I am upgrading from Photoshop Elements 9 to version 12 and loading it onto a new computer running Windows 8.2. To move the Organizer Catalog I have tried several time to create a backup on an external hard drive from version 9 so i can restore it on the new computer with the upgraded software. Each time i run the backup the process stops and displays an error message "Error encountered while writing files". This occurs when the process is approximately 75% complete. There are 12,326 items in the catalog, the estimated "media size" needed it 142,891.30 MB, i have 339 GB of free space on the external hard drive.Â

View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a new computer, and I need to transfer my existing Lightroom (3.6) catalog to the new machine. I have installed Lightroom on the new machine, and have updated it to the same version as on the old machine. All my images are on an external drive that I can move to the new computer.Â
Â
Can I simply export the existing catalog, move the hard drive, and import the catalog into the new instance of Lightroom on the new computer? Obviously, I want to retain al the keywords, develop adjustments, etc., that I had in the original catalog.
My computer HDD died :-(Â Â Luckily, I have made full HDD backups quite regularly and haven't really lost anything.
Â
However, I'm making a clean install of everything to get a fresh start. Over the years, I have built up quite a large set of LR Develop and Export presets along with several custom lens profiles and camera colour calibrations. Having started from LR2 then upgraded 'in place' over the years, I have a feeling the files for all these might be scattered all over the place on my Windows 7 installation/appdata files.
Â
Apart from the obvious catalog file, where else should I be looking to get my fresh LR5.2 installation looking like it used to with a full recovery of all my various profiles and presets?
Â
I think I found a few in my backed up %appdata% files but there is so much in there, I don't know what is essential and what is just 'junk' from older versions.
I have a lot of photographs in Lightroom 4 on my laptop. All are DNG and tagged with keywords and caption added to each image. When I move these to Lightroom 4 on another computer keywords and captions are lost when I view the images in LR4. I thought keywords and caption were stored in the DNG-file. How do I move the files to another computer without losing keywords and captions?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a separate catalog of photos from a recent trip on my laptop (don't ask why I created a 2nd catalog - won't do that again). I want to transfer them to our desktop, which is a mac (the laptop is pc). Following instructions in a tim grey email, I used "export catalog" to transfer to an external hard drive, with intent to then import to the mac. I did check for it to export negative files. It took forever, but froze partway through the process. So I created a new folder to export into, and tried it again. It got much further that time but froze again. When I use lightroom to access the files that did transfer, I find the folders labelled as they are on the laptop, but when I open them, the application says, "no items match your search", although it does indicate there are i.e. 47 MG in the file. I can use picasa to view the files, both the jpeg's and the raw files, so they're in there.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem with moving my photos from a MacBook Pro to a PC laptop. All the files reside in one directory on an external drive. I copied the catalog from the Mac to the PC, connected the drive, started LR and pointed to the copied catalog. As expected, LR did not know where the files from the external drive were, so I highlighted the drive, right clicked the photo directory and told it to find missing files. I then pointed it to the proper directory on the drive. It only partially worked. Several of the subdirectories on the drive did not relink. If I take the drive off the PC and put it back on the Mac, the subdirectories are properly linked, where on the PC, some aren't.

I can reimport, but then I have to do edits all over again on those photos.
I'm planning to upgrade my Windows system from a 6-year old XP box to a new Windows 7 system. Moving my entire digital photo archive and Lightroom (3.4) catalog will be part of the process. I need a faster system and desperately want to get active, but older, image files onto a fast internal hard drive. My catalog currently has about 110,230 images in it.
Â
Before I begin the transfer I'd like any tips to make the process go as smoothly as possible.Here's the current setup (I license my images as stock from my office so everything is in one LR catalog):
Â
2003-2006 photos on an external Networked Attached Storage (NAS) box
2007-2008 photos on an internal hard drive (#1)
2009-2011 photos an an internal hard drive (#2)
Scanned slides on internal hard drive (#1)
Â
Physical and LR folder structures for all of the above are similar, starting with a top-level "Camera 20xx" and then subfolders for major image categories, e.g. flowers, forests, portraits.
Â
Archived .PSD and .TIF files from a book project on a second NAS box .lrcat file on internal hard drive (#1)Planned new computer setup:
Â
2003-2011 photos on internal hard drives, same folder structure as old system, but drive letters likely to change.Scanned slides on internal hard drive, same folder structure as old system, but drive letter likely to change
Â
After I reinstall LR on my new computer and copy the .lrcat file over, will I simply be able to point LR to one image for each year and it will be able to find all the rest of the photos in that year's folder structure? Or is it going to be more complicated than that to re-synchronize Lightroom with the new folder locations?
moving my photos from the old computer to a new one with all of the information and changes made. Is ther a step by step written directions any where? This is for LR 4.3

Â
On my Mac Pro, the LR catalog is on the boot drive. The photos are on a separate internal drive.

My plan is to copy both the photos and the LR catalog to the 3 TB Fusion drive of the iMac.
Â
Would I then just double-click on the catalog to open it, and use this process to "reconnect" the missing photo files?
I have Corel X-5 on one of my computers that uses XP- Pro and I have new computer that is using windows 7 which also has Corel X-5 on it.
I have certain fonts loaded on the Corel X-5 that is using XP and I want to move them to the new computer. There are about 200 fonts and I was wondering the best way to move them into Corel X5 that is using Windows 7
Can I just copy them to a flash drive and then install on the new computer.
The reason I am using two computers with one monitor is one of my Roland Printers will work with windows 7 but the rip software will not work with Windows 7 because there are no Windows 7 drivers for it.
Instead of spending a few thousand dollars for new rip software it is easier to just use Windows XP and even thought it is a bit of a pain to keep switching back and forth from computers for now it works just fine.
how I can move a user from one computer to another and have them keep all of their settings in AutoCAD Architecture 2013.
We are upgrading user laptops. Â I have used the Windows 7 Easy File Transfer utility on the first couple, but it does not appear to copy the users AutoCAD settings. Â When they open AutoCAD for the first time on the new computer, they have to set up all of their toolbars, etc again.
I have even tried copy and paste of theWin 7 AppData  Local, LocalLow and Roaming folders ... but even that does not tranfer over the toolbars, menus, etc...
make it so that when a user logs into the new computer and opens AutoCAD, it is exactly as it was on the old computer?
I have my LR library and catalog on an external hard drive. I have a new iMac with a 3TB hard drive and I want to move the library and catalog from the external drive to the computer's hard drive. Is this something that can be done with a drag and drop?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to select part of an image with just one layer. Say I just flattened the image and have to move one part of. I select it with the rectangular select tool. It seems intuitive that I could then just move what I selected, but when I drag the selection, the selection itself moves without moving what is inside the selection.
If I then remember to click the move tool and try to move what's in the selection (seems to work sometimes, maybe when there's multiple layers?) the entire image moves.
The only way I can move part of the image over is if I make a selection and then cut it (ctrl X) then paste it.
How am I supposed to move part of the flattened image, is there a way I can set it to default to "When I select something, I can immediately drag that selected area around."
I have CS5 installed on a desktop computer that crashed and I can't get it working to deactivate CS5. I am going to purchase a new desktop and would like to install CS5 on the new computer, but it was already installed on two computers (desktop and laptop) so no activations are left.
