Photoshop :: Compatibility With CS5 And CS6
Sep 2, 2012
I am starting a Digital Media class in college and CS5 is what is setup on computers and textbooks are also about CS5 as well. They haven't upgraded to CS6 yet. I am mainly doing Photoshop, Flash Professional, and Illustrator in this class. The first program we are using is Photoshop. I have just paid for and downloaded the Creative Cloud and everything pertains to CS6.
I stick with using Photoshop CS5? Or can Photoshop CS6 be used as long as I don't use the newer parts of the program?Also will there be compatible issues in say for instance I am doing a project and going back and forth from my computer at home (with CS6) to working on it at school (with CS5)?

compatibility from CS2 to 7 and I can't seem to figure out what's wrong. I have a file with many layers made in CS2 but when I open it in 7, they're all merged - all I see is the background layer. Now before you ask, I know about the file handling settings and I made sure I have enabled "maximize psd and psb file compatibility" and version cue workgroup.

I'm in a multi office environment with a network, I'm the only staff person with CS6 and all our CS5.x users have been getting errors opening CS6 files despite me having file compatibility set to "Always":
"The document contains unknown data which will be discarded to keep layers editable."Warnings about missing "color books" even though I don't use PANTONE"Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop"..I just chatted with Adobe and after a long session here were their non-answers:
"There is a lot of features in CS6 that will not work on CS5 and we will not be able opening the CS 6 image in CS5." "You can disable the Third Party Plug-ins" (I'm not using any) So let's start our own list of KNOWN ISSUES with Photoshop version compatibilty
CS6 vector strokes. Any file I send with the new vector strokes can not be opened by CS5.x usersIt seems if I flatten all shape layers and smart objects, however our PSDS have hundreds of layers and even with the new search feature this is tedious. Plus you get into having two versions of a final file floating around which is a liability.

I do not understand the technical side of computers - I just use them for my work as a photographer
I have Photoshop CS5 32 bit installed on my PC with Vista home premium. I am buying a new PC with 64 bit Windows 7 installed, and it also has the option to upgrade for free to Windows 8 pro. Will my CS5 work on windows 7 and if I take the free upgrade will it work on Windows 8 pro?
Does it matter that CS5 is 32 bit and the new PC will be 64 bit? I don't want to get the free upgrade if it means my CS5 won't work on it, as I am happy wioth CS5 and do not need to upgrade to CS6 yet.

I've previously used CS4 and CS5 to make layered psd templates. They have always been compatible with elements and all versions of Photoshop. Now I've used PS CC and it is either just not opening or freezing up other versions of Photoshop.

Just bought a new camera (Canon T3i). Took a scan disk full of pics in "Camera Raw". Tried to open in Photoshop and got message that "Camera Raw" from my camera is not compatible with Photoshop CS5.

I'm running CS5.1 on a Windows 7, 64 bit machine. I've been using plug-in's from Neat Image and OnOne for a long time with no issues. Now I've installed Topaz Adjust plug-in and I'm having a problem. Randomly, when I launch Photoshop and look in Filters I will find EITHER my old plug-in's or the new Topaz plug-in. But never all three at the same time. And it is always random as to which will load at launch.

Unfortunately I only own Photoshop Elements - although my college uses the latest Cs2 (MAC).
I have worked at home (Windows XP) on my Elements (it does the job well). Now, what I was wondering is if there was any way of being able to open my Elements file with the CS2 version? Or have I wasted my time?
I have no idea ......... It is important that the tutor is able to view the original file, so that they can see the layers etc.
I have tried sending the file via email, but there is no chance of attatching this file. But if I am certain that the file will open in college, then I could burn the file to disc?

I recieved the Adobe Creative Suite Premium for Christmas, and what an amazing product. One of my other Intrests is video editing and I use Nero burning software for burning my DVD's. I have been expierencing a problem latley, when Nero finishes encoding the data and is ready to burn to DVD, it says that It can not burn to DVD, I have only started expierencing this since I have installed CS Premium. So I was wondering if anybody might know if there is some kind of compadibility issues between Nero and the other programs in CS.

I´m running Photoshop CS3 Extended on a Quadcore with 4 giga of Ram. Windows XP is 64 (I think it´s a problem).
I´m having a problem... Photoshop is very slow... very very slow when comparated to my old pc that was a XP 32 bits and 2 giga of ram.
Could it be a problem because I´m using a 64 bits OS or using Quadcore ? Is photoshop CS3extended preparated for XP 64 bits OS and Quadcore?

I have PS CS2, client has PS CS3. Do I need to ask him to Save As or
Export in some special way so that I can open his PSD file?
I'll upgrade if that's my only choice, but I don't use Photoshop a lot,
and I was hoping to get another few years out of it.

Can you save custom brush presets in CS6 for people in lower versions to install and use?? So far hasn't worked... error compatibility message. I've designed all of these things, and now only those with CS6 seem to be able to utilize!

Preferably via a batch function, since I have 50 or 60 files... maybe more, that I've been saving with maximized compatibility.
I tried disabling 'Maximize Compatibility' and re-saving the files, but this didn't result in reduced file sizes as far as I can tell.

I seem to be getting conflicting reports about which versions of CS are or are not compatible with OSX Mountain Lion. Some rumors say that 5 is not, some say 5.5 is not, and some even say CS6 is glitchy .

For those of you using Internet Explorer and who have set Compatibility View (the broken page icon at the right of the Address Bar), try turning off Compatibility View. You can actually open new lines with the Enter key.

I found out that QuickLook in Mac OS X doesn't work properly for PSD documents if the file is saved without Maximize Compatibility feature. If you press space bar, only white canvas appears and not the actual document. I don't want to use this feature because I don't need the compatibility and all the files are much smaller without it. However, as I work with a lot of PSD files I am used to use QuickLook a lot. Is there a way to have maximize compatibility disabled and at the same time be able to use previews with QuickLook?

I'm attaching a document, created in CS6 that is giving me grief when trying to open and use in lower versions. (have created documents for a group of people with various versions)
Have created two rectangle shapes,(white stroke, no fill, shape tool not path) each living on it's own layer, have added ancor points to then delete a portion of the rectangle creating needed opening at the top.
I would like the end user to be able to use his direct selection tool, to be able to increase or decrease the size of the opening as he needs. (imagine if you will, typing a name in the provided opening... different length names need different size openings)
When saved (maximim compatibility on) and opened in CS2 I receive this message: unknown data has been encountered reading layer (layer xxxxx) will be discarded... continue?
The artwork is all still there, but I loose the ability to direct select (ancor points) the shapes. Can move it around as a whole, but that wasn''t the perk.

After using PSE v6.0 for years under Mac Leopard, I upgraded to Snow Leopard and it is no longer stable....crashes mostly when saving a file. I tried reinstalling PSE v6.0 but nothing changed. I've looked for upgrades to both Snow Leopard and PSE v6.0 but Snow Leopard's didn't improve anything and I can't find upgrade to PSE.

I use a Windows 7 64 bit Dell at home and at work. Both have Photoshop CS6 (not extended). This week when I saved files at home using file compatiblity (since co-workers in my office are on CS 5.1) and FTPed them from home to the work network I ran into all sorts of issues.
5.1 users reported getting all sorts of errors including...The document contains unknown data which will be discarded to keep layers editable... and another one about missing "color books"
I read about cross version problems with shapes with the new CS6 vector strokes applied. Sure enough, when I sent CS 5.1 co-workers small test files by email they could open all of them but the one with the shape with CS6 vector stroke. So I went back to the larger PSDs and removed the strokes from any shapes, but the office still could not open the files.
I too, even though on the same CS6 product get an error "There was a problem reading the layer data. Read the composite data instead?" If I click to do so I get another error "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop" which is simply not true wince both are CS6

I would like photoshop to show a file image for the thumbnail (instead the generic lines of type). I know in the pref box I can set the "Maximize File compatibility" to "Always" or Ask, and this will save a flattened version of the file as part of the document. But this greatly increased the file size. I did some checking on 10 layered files ranging from 14Mb to 45Mb. The new file size increased a whopping 35% to 88%. That's a heavy price to pay both on my system here, our back up / archive, CD / DVD burning, and our client systems. I'm in the process of putting together a browser based image library. To render a image thumbnail it shows the generic lines of type if layered (useless), and a image thumbnail only if "File compatibility" is set to Yes. ( Which greatly increases file size, and cost of storage space).
Is there a way to get a image thumbnail without having to set Maximize File Compatibility to Yes? It would seem to me that photoshop should be able to create a small, low res flattened version, at a low quality setting, that would be on the kb in size for a thumbnail. And imbed that into the file, vs the bloated composite. I understand the reason for the composite for file compatibailty with previous versions etc. Just not for creating the thumbnail.

When saving a psd file I can no longer save in "compatibility mode". I'm using a Mac computer with OSX (version 10.8.3) and Photoshop CS6 (version 13.1.2 x64). I just noticed this problem tonight when I tried to bring a psd file into a MUSE project. Now whenever I save a PSD file the menu that asks if I want to save in compatibility mode doesn't appear (it just saves the file). I've reset the preferences and restarted my computer but Photoshop still doesn't give me a compatibility mode option when saving a PSD file.
