    Too lazy to set a custom title

    can you run two different versions of Photoshop on one computer?

    is there a way that I can keep my Photoshop CS intact and working on my computer if I install a newer version of PS?
    I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

              last time i installed a new version of PS which is a long time ago, i installed CS(Photoshop 8) and I wanted to keep Photoshop 7, the installation of CS ate up and replaced PS 7.

                  I have 2 running, but one is on my c drive and the other on an external drive.. When I had them both on the same drive it gave me problems..

                      I had that happen when I went to CS2.

                      But so far, I can open both installations that I have running now.

                                  Make a new partition and install it on that.

                                                  ok thanks for the replies - i'm gonna install the trial of CS4 and hope for the best. just got tired of doing PS tutorials and ending up at a dead end when the tutorial has steps using tools that aren't in CS Photoshop 8.

                                                      was doing this tutorial and then realized CS doesn't have the Smart Sharpen tool that's used in the tutorial to make this awesome looking poster

                                                          Thats quite possible. CS4 doesn't come with all the older plugins etc.. by default, it is posibble you have to download it from Adobe and install it. Same goes for the extract filter.
