I know that I can instal cs4 without uninstalling cs3, thereby, having two
versions of photoshop. Firstly, do they both have access to their own
bridge programs? Secondly would it not be sensible to remove all traces of
CS3 prior to installing CS4?

CS4 took away contact sheets and gave us something else that makes PDF's. I
am sure glad CS3 stayed on my machine so I could make contact sheets.

You can have both - contact sheets is in the goodies folder.

When I went to use contact sheets in CS4 I needed to make contact sheets
right now. After a week or so I figured it out and was able to install
contact sheets back into CS4. May not ever have a need again for CS3 but
I
am happy to have it hang around a while. If contact sheets ever go away
I
won't be happy. The new way, making PDF's, does not work for me.

I know what you mean - I have several versions of PS installed. It's
mainly to support customers with various versions, but I always keep PS6
installed.

This was the last version that did not require registration via the
Internet, and I don't want to be stuck in the boonies with no Internet and
no Photoshop!

You won't. Photoshop needs an internet connection to activate, but it
doesn't need one each time you run it after it has been activated. Just
unplug your computer and try it.

Thanks, Johan. You do know I've been posting here for about 30 years,
right? LOL.

What you say is generally the case, however the exact mechanism by which
registration works is not known. People have found themselves needing to
re-register at odd moments. Photoshop is important enough to me, while
travelling, that it would be a significant problem *if* something goes
wrong, and I were unable to do so because I did not have access to the
internet.

As time passes, this is becoming less of an issue as more and more places
have wifi access - at the same time, at 95 megabytes, it costs me almost
nothing to have trusty old PS6 along for the ride.

Do you carry a spare computer too on your trips? After all, you could
also drop your computer... Seriously; I never had to re-activate

Are you actually trying to convince me that it doesn't make sense for me to
carry PS6 around as a spare? Give me a break, John.

For as long as it still works on newer operating systems. PS6 doesn't
run on the latest Macs anymore,

Install VMWare or Parallels on the Mac and WinXP under that. (I use
VMWare as my "legacy" platform from WinXP - though I need it less and less).

Yes, you could do that, I suppose. However, because PS6 doesn't open my
RAW files anyway, I personally do not think that keeping PS6 is a viable
alternative if PS CS4 suddenly asks for activation and I have no
internet connection. I think installing GIMP is probably a better idea.
