I’ve Got Photoshop 6, but….

You can buy the upgrade…if you can find a legal copy. It’s already out of date by a few years. That’s about it.

or you can upgrade to version 9 (cs2) for the same price as going to version 7 (if you can find a legal copy of the 7 upgrade).

True, if the computer can handle it.

I tend to be too literal when answering sometimes.

no probelem ed. my problem is i usually read too fast and miss something important. good thing this forum has people covering each other’s backs! 🙂

You might be smart to upgrade to cs2 now, since it is normal price. When Cs3 comes out, cs2 will disappear and you will NOT be able to upgrade from PS6 to CS3 without paying extra.

Don, I’ve been out of the loop; where is this stated (other than in your post 🙂 )?

Q. If I buy Photoshop CS2 today in order to get access to the Photoshop CS3 beta, will I get a free upgrade to Photoshop CS3?

A. No. The rich feature set and productivity enhancements of Photoshop CS2 already provide a strong upgrade value, and the opportunity to review the upcoming CS3 release is an additional bonus.
In addition, customers who are still using Photoshop version 6.0 or earlier will benefit from taking advantage of a more liberal upgrade policy for Photoshop CS2. Adobe will not offer upgrade pricing more than three versions back on Photoshop CS3. Go to

Thanks!

Yeah, but my post is the authoritative one.

You mean you didn’t write the FAQ? <g>
