 I have PS6 on my computer, and will be updating to CS3 shortly. Rather excited, but in the midst of that, a troubling thought came to mind.

Hence the following questions.

If I upgrade to CS3, will all the brushes and things of that nature that I have for PS6 work with it? And if not, is there any way that I can install CS3 without overwriting PS6, so that I can vary between the two?

Any help or tips would be MUCH appreciated. I really would hate to lose all my pretty brushes because of an upgrade! giggle

Thanks a bunch.
-Summer

You can have 2 versions of PS on your computer - just don't uninstall PS6. That's not a problem at ALL - don't worry.

As far as the brushes working with CS3...? Kind of a crapshoot - maybe, maybe not... Gonna have to see to, well... See...

And like you were hoping, if they don't you'll still have PS6 on your computer for those certain brushes and filters and actions and whatever that you're used to.

Now here's the question - CS3 Standard or Extended...?

hope this helps-

My experience with CS2 has been that there's no problem with having an earlier version on the sys... the only problem is when you want to use a CS2 brush in the earlier one... mostly, can't be done... there are an enormous number of free brushes and so-on avaliable at Adobe that you can download for 2 or 3... more than for the earlier, LOL...

PS 6 brushes will work on PS CS3 but not the other way around. Most brushes created in/for CS3 won't work in 6. PS is backward compatible. No real reason to have both installed. Make sure you have all the extra brushes, actions etc in a folder you can point CS3 to.

 Thanks so much for the help, guys. I know the brushes, etc won't work if they're CS3 based and tried in PS6 - tried that once, never again lmao. I just didn't know if it was the other way around, as well. I'll keep 6 installed just to make sure, God forbid it doesn't work after all.

Thundering1 - Extended =)

Thanks again for the help, if anyone has more feedback, feel free to post.

In art,

My PS7 brushes work just fine in my CS3.

Just save those brushes you want to keep from PS6 in a separate folder for when you do get CS3 and then place them in the brushes folder after installing CS3.
