I think there is an uninstaller in the Adobe folder Tom but with the Mac, uninstall is fairly simple although perhaps not 100% but then I don't think Adobe uninstallers are 100%... There will be hidden files and some scattered around the libraries.

On a Mac simple select the file to remove and press cmd+delete or drag to the trash. In 'Application Support' in your library folder, find the Adobe files and remove the Ps5 versions.

If you don't see the library folder on your Mac, in a finder window, select the 'Go' Menu, then press the 'alt' key, which will reveal the Library link in the menu.


Thanks, Robert.

I think I am safe with that process as far as removing just CS5 goes, but what I am worried about is keeping all the licenses for plug-ins straight.

They all worked fine when I selected the install for CS5 that deleted CS4 but I remember the mess I had with an earlier version when I ran the two side by side and then later deleted the early version.

Your new Color efex is a good example of a complicated plugin. It will transfer fine if you move it when you install CS6, but what happens when you install CS6 side by side???

Maybe it is simpler than I think since all the apps are on the same mac, but I would like to be sure before trying to run both CS5 and CS6.

I'm pretty willing to wait (since there is not support for Fuji xpro-1 in ACR yet) until I hear most people who have installed CS6 on macs say they are not having any serious problems (I can live with arcane issues that don't really stop my workflow which is pretty simple).

Cheers,

Tom
