And that is for a version that is 1+ years old.Īre You sure, that Adobe will keep this fee for 3+ years? I doubt.
The upgrade for CS6 Extended costs 3+ time that much and the standard version is 1.66 times as much. If the OP gets the CC subscription he get the extended version of photoshop for $120 a year. If Adobe is doing business like they use to you would need CS5/5.5 Extended as a previous version to use the Upgrade of CS6 extended.īut this is really MOOT. CS6 standard is not listed as an upgrade path to CS6 Extended. No matter which version you click on the only option for a previous version to upgrade from is CS5 & CS5.5. Translated: I'm not good enough nor do I aspire to make an income at this. I'm not even a business - I'm a hobbyist and amateur photographer where spend my time enjoying a creative outlet. What peeves me is that I'm not a corporation. And, there is no doubt that Adobe is the industry standard when it comes to image processing. Unfortunately, this is a corporate mentality and a precedent that is being set in the industry. Microsoft's Office 365 is no different in terms of a rental agreement. I suspect Adobe is strategizing predictable revenue with a subscription pricing model and that CS6 will be the last available release based on purchased software. Or, even limited functionality as I have come to discover with a recent OS upgrade and CS5. I'm straddling the fence here, considering the ROI in "purchasing" which ultimately results in merely a "lease" agreement after a number of years, before an upgrade becomes a necessity (or a want) for new functionality. Upgrading to CS6 Design Premium is a $749US endeavor.
I'm totally onboard with this statement and am currently a licensed CS5 Design Premium user. perhaps CS6 owners would show CS6 as the drop down option. perhaps if I owned CS6 then the link would know that and would show CS6. it does not give me the option to select CS6 as being the product I own. I only get the option for owning CS5 or CS5 Extended. when you scroll down to Photoshop CS6 Extended. which I think is the same link I provided. The OP wants to upgrade from CS6 to the extended version, he needs to scroll down to CS6 to upgrade and not CS6 Extended You have to click on the Buy link and then change the dropdown to upgrade and what you are upgrading from. Here is the link to the CS6 purchase page. appears the option to upgrade from CS6 is not available. but it only gives the option to upgrade from CS5 or CS5 Extended. I don't think you can upgrade from CS6 to CS6 Ext. Back in the days of CS3 I owned the Extended version and over the years I migrated to CS6 Standard and now I want to get to Extended.
It's all rolled into one.vĭoes anybody know how to upgrade from CS6 to CS6 Extended? I am unable to wend my way through the Adobe maze to obtain pricing information. There isn't a Standard and Extended versions in CC. Well in all honesty the price for an upgrade from either CS5 or CS6 standard to CS6 Extended would be the same.Īt this point it isn't worth it as you get all the feature of the extended version with the CC subscription.
