Welcome.

I'm not sure what good an image opened in CS2 is going to do you in CS3. Good idea though.

Cheers,

Hey ddaiber,

Ok. I can't stand it anymore. How do you work on one image with two applications at the same time?

Well like I said, I agree with your initial post in the thread - I wouldn't generally recommend two versions of Photoshop on the same machine however there are occasions when it can be useful.

Say I have CS3 on my home PC for personal use as well as for freelance projects. My day-job workplace has an older version. In that situation I may use CS3 at home for a freelance project I'm working on, but then switch to CS2 to work with projects that I know I can only finish in CS2. It would be easier than trying to remember what features are available in the different versions.

I do totally agree with you though, generally you only ever need one version of PS installed at a time. It's also cheaper to buy the upgrade!

True. I have CS2 and CS3 on my machine at home, but I don't run them at the same time.

It sounded like the original poster was trying to open a picture in CS2 and work on it in CS3.

I'm with you on that one.
