Glad to see so many people here still using CS6. I've been worried about having to update to a newer Photoshop, because i am missing out on feautres, but this comment section makes me feel good about keeping CS6
same! i didn't realize there were still so many people holding onto cs6 like us! i have my version... i'm not even interested in a cracked version of cc.
I think its because a lot of people got to buy a perpetual license for it with student discounts and such before Adobe went full evil. I mean i have it installed on a old win 7 laptop that i do not update or use for anything other than ps because i lost the code.
you say it like ps 2021 is not professional and stable, It's actually way more dependable and even new features do what they're supposed to do, also you always have the access to the older methods too, so there is no problem at all. I understand that CS6 is still pretty impressive and you can do almost everything with it, but practically it certainly holds no advantage compared to ps 2021
you can turn it around and also say that if CS6 has the features one uses every day, there is no advantage to getting 2021. Upgrading just slows down your workflow and takes longer to load. Not to mention, it starts a vicious cycle of recurring costs which CS6 does not have.
printing studio here in my town are still using ps cs4 i think and the legendary windows 7. I believe they don't bother to upgrade the latest version because they are already familiar with the available tools in photoshop older version
@@JoelPlay not necessarily. Older versions can get the jobs done just as much as the newer versions. It's more about working in a reliable environment when you're running a business, and they're sticking with their tried and true version. Also, it's about squeezing out margins whenever possible so, kudos for them for taking out two birds with one stone. I run a studio and have purchased M1 with all that M1 performance hype. Performance is great, no doubt about that. But Adobe has miles ahead of them for PS and LR to work as smooth as my late 2013 15" MBPr running PS v22.3.0(which is PS2020). Just to give you the latest headache I'm dealing with, with 22.5 release PS introduced a serious problem with any selection tool giving about 1-3sec lag before completing the selection and showing that marching ant animation, which is critical in daily tasks involving skin retouching with patch tool and lasso tool.
@@JoelPlay did my reverting to older version from 22.5 made my life easier? yes. but did going back to older version made all my problems I have with PS at the moment go away? definitely not. I'm just boiling inside, nowhere to find solution, and leaning to live with or to work my way around until Adobe pays attention to my specific problems. The reason I stopped updating PS on my old MBPr was just that, there was a bug with "radial filter" when editing a layer in ACR filter that was never addressed in any of the release notes. It was about two versions before 22.3.0 (counting minor versions as well) that I noticed "radial filter" issue. I would install new version and go back to the version without issue for couple times and 22.3.0 was the version I settled with and said no more updates.
It's worth the upgrade, but still don't approve of it. They should sell a license for each major release (CS4, CS6,2021) for a fixed price with updates included
They won't and they never will because Capitalism.. they just made their price higher recently. They have competitors but they're all still far away that's why they can do all this decisions. They know they're "industry standard".

🤠 There are alternative to PS: Affinity Photo, Capture One, ON1 Photo, Gimp, Corel Painter or PaintShop Pro. Sometimes you can get good deals on these in Humble Bundles.
Don't forget CS6's full price was 700 dollars. Are you content paying at least that much (or more if accounting for inflation) for the newest version that will become obsolete after 2-3 years?
I just spent 2 hours last week, uninstalling and removing creative cloud bloatware that infecrted every corner of my PC, PS along with Premiere.... after all normal uninstalls, and deep uninstalls with pro uninstaller, I still had to use CC cleaner/removal tool. And even after that there were still uninstalls to be made, startup apps to remove and tones of files in countless of subfolders on system disk leftover. I will NEVER install their bloatware crap on my PC again so done with Adobe and their stupid subscirptions. back to CS6 or nothing :) as far as features go not really missing anything from newer versions for my work and needs.

Have all the things I need to draw (animation timeline; rotate canvas; smart filters). I really liked CC when it started, but in 2020 for some reason it fell off a cliff. Bugs, slower apps, and finally, no apps at all, either on my win10 machine or my win7 machine. Never going back to CC hopefully. I'll keep the $700 a year thanks.

Yeah the thing with subscription is that it's becoming too expensive with time, big companies can afford to pay that most of the times but most of single users don't have the budget for that, I'm a good example for that situation actually, I work for a record label and I do way more than graphic design, I also do videography, studio engineering/recording/editing/mixing/mastering, etc. so in the end, all the softwares and hardware I need becomes so expensive to a point where it can be ridiculous, I still think that it should be like it was, you get the versions you payed for than if you want more, you pay for updates or more recent versions, it's getting pretty annoying today that it's becoming subscriptions everywhere... It is pretty much paying for something that you don't own, if it continues this way, soon we're gonna have to subscribe for hardware too! Imagine buying a "subscription" to own something like a hard drive and then when you stop paying they take it back from you, I wouldn't be surprised if that happens in the future loll
Actually I'm still using CS5 which is from 2010 😅 and it's not that bad - Kinda off - the main reason for that because of the bad specs laptop that I have 😅😅
I still keep my CS5.1 PS, the main reason to move from that to CS6 or later would be the rotate canvas / zoom bug. If you rotate the canvas in 5 and zoom in, the zoom will 'pop' - it can be very disorienting. Also no smart filters. But if you don't need those, no need to move.
@@mhk9361 I stand corrected! Which leaves only the rotate canvas glitch as a show-stopper for me. Could work around it, but when you draw on a large canvas (as I do) the zoomin / zoomout glitch is a head-wrecker. I *could* work around it but it would take a lot of muscle memory retraining. Thanks for info on smart filters though.
I have to say that Affinity is a real contender now, at a fraction of the cost it's worth having a look.....same or more features, such as astrophotography etc. I have both LR/PS 2021 and Affinity, if there was an Affinity version of Lightroom I'd drop Adobe.
After using both I've found each has its ups and downs depending on the type of editing and workload you have. I've been using Luminar AI as sort of a LR replacement. Affinity has less of a learning curve for sure, but PS has PiXimperfect to help us!
I substituted Lightroom with On1Photo. Has more features, maybe not as refined as Lightroom to be honest but can add textures and add layers as if Photoshop and stuff and it's comptible with Affinity. Pity Affinity is geared more towards Mac as it does have some issue with Windows.
Affinty Photo does have some of the same elements as lightroom, not sure if it’s a direct competitor at this point... I believe Designer is an AI/PS hybrid and Photo is a PS/LR hybrid
1 reason to not upgrade; Afinity Photo is just as good and is a one off payment for LIFE of only $50 and it gets updated constantly. Adobe rentals are a terrible business model for the user
@@PiXimperfect I actually using it for not choosing the short-cut way. After some year advanced photoshop version users will forget how to use everything manually! I think everyone should learn maual process first.
When Adobe announced it was going out of business (business of selling licences), I upgreaded to CS6, and fror me the package to upgrade to the Premium full suite was cheaper than buying 2 separate upgrades because of my mix of software (inDesign + graphics). For me to more to subscription based model would cost way too much. So I am stuck on the Mac with Old version of OS-X that still supports 32 bits in order to continue to run CS6. Yeah, some of the new featurees are nice, but big picture, once can usually get around without them. The "history" panel lets you undo actions so the "reset smart object" isn't truly a new feature. (though does have advantages). If Adobe offered choice of subscription and perpetual, I woudl still be a customer spending money with them perhaps every 2 years. But as long as they are subscription, it's a no go unless I win the lottery. In they end they get $0 from me.
I'm with you, but I'll add that Apple is just as bad for this stuff -- having major OS revisions every year that often break all your software... meanwhile I can still use Photoshop 7 (from 2002, so 20 years old!) even on the latest Windows 10 build. Who knows how long that will last with MS's forced update scheme these days, though...
What about annoyances of changing user interface features on every update?, I've been using Photoshop since version 2.1 and studently the toolbox changed, the save and save as changed, the swatches changes , the brushes etc, etc , yes you can restore some of the settings but what about the time You loose trying to find where that hell the stamp tool went or trying to import the classic set of swatches or not clicking cloud open or safe...
100% agree. That kind of busybody UI fiddling messes with our muscle memory. Sticking with an 'obsolete' version like CS6 solves that, and drains Adobe of $ (the only language they seem to understand).
I agree 100% as well. As an ex-Silicon Valley computer person, it really pisses me off when the software companies continue to screw with the user interface. I shouldn't have to call tech support to be able to find out how to do something in their product on any update. I quit taking updates on my Apple products and have hacked into Windows to shutdown Microsoft's updates as well. There was a golden rule when I was in Silicon Valley, NEVER change the user interface. I worked for Apple, IBM, HP, etc.
@@DLMVegas 100%. Even small stuff like re-arranging the layer blend modes (stroke, emboss, etc). After two decades of one order, switching to a different one, it's like chewing tinfoil. "Let's invert the way the crop tool works", or "Let's invert the way save as works". You know what would be a better use of programmer time? Fixing the thousands of bugs that have now infected the program to the point where a small but substantial % of the user base can't even launch the program any more.
My reasons for keeping my software was due to the subscription service that made it impossible for me to afford the post-versions. I miss the perpetual licenses.
For people avoiding CS6 due to 4k making the interface tiny, theres a simple solution. In windows go to your CS6 desktop shortcut properties and under compatibility click the Change high DPI settings button. Turn on the High DPI scaling override and set it to system. That should scale the interface to whatever you have windows scaling set to on your 4k monitor (for me thats 150% in desktop display settings).
It is ridiculous that Adobe still has problems with interface scaling. Especially frustrated in Camera RAW filter in Photoshop or Bridge when scaling is only 100 or 200% without any in the middle. It cause that it is too small on 100% on 4K screen and way too big on 200%. And in 2021 with full range of high resolution screens still other Adobe Apps also have problems with consistent interface scaling! And my absolute favourite in Photoshop - small filters preview window not scaled since screens had 800x600 px size so now it is big as post stamp which means that you just cannot see any changes in preview.
If You need to do some serious work in PS, You always have to go old school. New stuff is so magical, but for me, it’s a waste off time 90% of the time. Basic tools and years of experience give the greatest results. I’m working with Adobe CC every day from the beginning and I’ve noticed that I’m swearing more and more in front of my screen (every big number update is +1 more swear level :D)
After watching the wholle video I realized the real reason Unmesh even did this comparison if for the sheer smoothness of Curves on CS6 that literally stomps on the whole 2021 CC versions.
Having a subscription service in practice just seems to make companies lazy, they no longer have to work as hard to get their recurring revenue, and just seem to pay the guys at the top more with the extra funds they're bringing in. I think this is a pretty clear example of how in 10 years, they really haven't done a whole lot
I love how he basically sold CS6 to all of us while trying to encourage us to upgrade. I get it, the updates are really nice and make the whole experience so much more easier, he even explained everything so nicely, I don't think I, too, simply cannot go back to CS6 after using the latest CCs for a couple years now, but... yeah, he opened with the money thing and it makes no sense, none of the things he mentioned make it worth the money in my humble opinion, but hey! There's always a way to get the thing without spending a penny, so that's good
You get more with a subscription plan than you did with a single time payment. CS6 Extended used to cost $1000. Now you pay only $120/year and you get both Photoshop and Lightroom, as well as continuous support and the latest updates. If you bought CS6 and a year later a new version came out, you had to pay $1000 again if you wanted the latest features.
The one and the only Channel I love the most ❤️ Thank for your every kind thing ! Every deep best explanation !! After done watching your video I never ever need to Question you to be more clear !!
i'm still holding to my CS3 for the Automate/Picture Package feature, i do a lot of photo ID and i haven't found a better alternative, it's so simple and fast
People say subscription is bad but paying only for CS6 used to cost $700 ($1000 for the Extended version) and then an year or two later you had to pay again if you wanted the latest version. With subscription you pay $120 for 1 year, meaning you are going to use your PS for 7 years before it costs as much as CS6 (or 10 years if you got Extended). And in these 7 years you will get all the new updates and features. Also, you can do a monthly sub and cancel it at any time if you decide you don't want to use PS anymore. If I paid $700 for PS and in 1 year decided I wanted to move to Affinity instead... yeah, that ain't happening. I shelled out two times my monthly salary and I ain't switching.
My simpler reason to have CS6 with me even though i have Photoshop's latest version installed is that I have all my memories with it as it was the one that got me in to this editing arena and I still use it sometimes just for having fun or making something that reminds of the time I was novice and CS6 supported me to become who I am now. So it's like CS6 is my home land that gave me birth and latest version is the work land that pays my bills
I'm still holding onto my CS5 student edition that I bought back when I was in college. Once I upgrade to the upcoming M1X/M2 Macs, I'm going to have to upgrade unfortunately :(
I just got a M1 Mac and I had to upgrade too. The subscription makes sense for me because I use multiple Adobe apps (illustrator, aftereffects & photoshop) but I can imagine the trouble it would be if I were to use only Photoshop.
@@nixednamode3607 Cool man! Like you said, the subscription makes sense if you're using multiple Adobe apps. How has After Effects performance been for you so far on M1?
@@lolfirepoisonftl After effects is considerably smoother and faster than my previous i7 Windows laptop and the renders happen faster too. But it still hasn’t been officially optimised for the M1 yet. The one major problem I have with M1 is Photoshop’s 3D tools. The workspace just goes blank and unresponsive whenever I switch to 3D. Apparently we’ll need to wait for further updates
@@nixednamode3607 Yeah I heard other M1 users were having similar issues with some adobe apps a few months ago but I was hoping they would have fixed them by now. Damn well hopefully they get them resolved soon.
Put a portable version of photohop cs6 on usb flash drive and run the app from it.. great solution if you work on other computer and you're not sure if PS cs6 is installed/available on the particular system.
I use both CS6 and CC2019 and have to switch between them from time to time. I am more comfortable using cs6. But sometimes, to get easy workaround for a certain task I use CC. For audio editing though, I now use audacity since I am no longer familiar using the Audition since v.3
im not a profesional, i only use photoshop as a hobby, i guess ill keep using CS6 since its faster and more stable, ill start regreting it when i actually need a new function from newer versions
UI Scaling is easy to fix on CS6. There are two methods you can search. One is: app scaling on high dpi displays fix 2019 The other is: adobe app scaling on high dpi displays fix.
There isnt a single reason to upgrade until they drop the subscription model. I dont mind paying for annual updates/ support but you should have the option to keep using what you payed for after halting payment.
As much as I loathe the "ransom-ware" aspect of CC2021, the truth is it affects only hobbyists. Professional users can A) price their services accordingly, and 2) write off the subscription cost as a business expense.
i am from vietnam, i love your videos, can you arrange english subtitles so i can easily understand the video content. Hope you are interested in this comment.
I would no sooner rent software as I would rent somebody else's pants. Plus, I trust the Cloud as much as I trust my brother-in-law. Photoshop has played a major role in my life. It is one of the most amazing programs out there available to the general public. But Adobe told us CS6 was the greatest thing since sliced bread-I still believe it. It produced great images back it the Stone Age when it was released. Is there any reason it still doesn't have that capability? Also, the competition is swiftly catching up, at a fraction of the cost. Just look at the stuff being done by the folks at Affinity. I became an Adobe ACE in Photoshop and I still use CS6 quite a bit in addition to competitors' tools. I love Adobe/Photoshop but they lost me with the subscription model. I don't think either partner has lost any sleep over it, though.
Photoshop 2014 was the last version to support the minimum requirements of my PC (4gb RAM). I think performance vise it's really stable and I don't use much of the newer features anyways
I still use cs6, it might take a little longer to do everything in comparison to the subscription model but I dont think it misses anything too important. Plus I'm now trying affinity photo & procreate on the ipad. And sometimes superdisplay to get photoshop mirrored fro my laptop to my android s6 lite. Works well even with the pressure sensitive spen / steadtler emr pencil.
The "must be connected to the internet" part solidified that the CC versions were not for me. I liked to work on a laptop with no internet access in a remote cabin in the woods on weekends so nobody would bother me. Later when my job tried to entice me to upgrade all my personal machines I immediately declined. (I have used all the CC versions but I just never installed them on my own equipment.) Then of course when I was "furlowed" due to covid the company immediately killed my CC account anyway so I'll stick with my CS6 versions for the foreseeable future.
Cs6 gets the job done but when I have co workers sending me files from 2021 I can’t use some features that they’re using. Like multiple art boards in photoshop 😭
I have both versions running in parallel. CS6 is mine and CC is the company's version so I can keep working at home if I ever need to. But if I'm honest, most of the time I need CS6 because logging in for CC already annoys me. But I am rather oldschool and often work destructively. Curves with ctrl+m for example, because then I'm just faster.
Same here I have both versions. I sometimes actually forget to use CC and end up using cs6. Client doesn't notice, the job is done, looks great, no problems at the printers NEXT!!!
Hey Unmesh, Why can't we fully edit RAW in Photoshop, such as frequency separation? I hate having to do some things in Lightroom, export and then do the rest in Photoshop. It's stupid. We should be able to do all edits in Photoshop as a RAW file and then finalize as a Jpeg or whatever.
Stupid Adobe bans older Pcs from using updated Photoshop since 2021. So there's really no point in upgrading for most people and most of all there is one serious reason not to pay for Photoshop at all. But why vloggers would care for common Photoshop users, right?
I am starting digital artist, thank you for saving my money cause I could see how most of these upgrades I actually dont need to use and I'll stick with my cs6
Agree. No more updates with new features, just get the program back to the rock solid stability of the olden times (10 years ago). Also make it faster. God but the latest version (on the rare 5 minute window when it actually booted) is SLLOOOOOOWWWWWWW
I've just upgraded to 2021 from CS6 and if wasn't for my job paying for the apps i would've booted it to the curb and reverted back to CS6 extended. Adobe has gone to the dogs with its latest iteration of bloatware. The tracing tool in Illustrator and the Content Aware tools are the ONLY real breakthroughs Adobe have come out with in the last decade, everything else is overly dressed bells and whistles. This whole suite used to be tailored for working professionals now its targeted towards one click millennials. Everything actually TAKES LONGER to access, what in the hell were Adobe thinking hiding all the USEFUL tools under a extra menu flyout?? Illustrator is hot garbage having to search everywhere for what used to be bread and butter tools and menu sets. Is there a way to revert the entire workspace from Casual Insta BABY mode back to "Efficient Productivity" mode?? Worst of all, Tracing and Content Aware haven't even improved much at all from CS6, Adobe have owned Macro Freehand for well over a decade now and still couldnt implement any of the groundbreaking drawing tools and functions from that 'ancient" program into Illustrator yet?
Still happy with my CS6. What I do not like are Apple OS upgrades rendering it inoperable. I'm on the last OS iteration and I expect Apple to force my hand at some point to go to CC. Equally as bad is losing my beloved Picasa 3 if I'm forced to upgrade the OS. Anyone else still a Picasa 3 die hard? 💪
Sorry but no Subscription = rent = adobe can cancel your subscription without any permission + now you need to pay additional money for Pantone colors (yes, PAY FOR COLORS)

Thanks for info on smart filters though.
I have to say that Affinity is a real contender now, at a fraction of the cost it's worth having a look.....same or more features, such as astrophotography etc. I have both LR/PS 2021 and Affinity, if there was an Affinity version of Lightroom I'd drop Adobe.
Interesting! I would sure look into it. Would make a good comparison video :) Thanks!
@@PiXimperfect would love to see a comparison
After using both I've found each has its ups and downs depending on the type of editing and workload you have. I've been using Luminar AI as sort of a LR replacement. Affinity has less of a learning curve for sure, but PS has PiXimperfect to help us!
I substituted Lightroom with On1Photo. Has more features, maybe not as refined as Lightroom to be honest but can add textures and add layers as if Photoshop and stuff and it's comptible with Affinity. Pity Affinity is geared more towards Mac as it does have some issue with Windows.
Affinty Photo does have some of the same elements as lightroom, not sure if it’s a direct competitor at this point... I believe Designer is an AI/PS hybrid and Photo is a PS/LR hybrid
As long as it's subscription I can live without it with no regrets.
Cracked versions laughing in corner ...
😂
1 reason to not upgrade; Afinity Photo is just as good and is a one off payment for LIFE of only $50 and it gets updated constantly. Adobe rentals are a terrible business model for the user
I'm using cS6 for last 4 years. I feel comfortable using this version.
There sure is a touch of familiarity to it if you've used it for long!
@@PiXimperfect I actually using it for not choosing the short-cut way. After some year advanced photoshop version users will forget how to use everything manually! I think everyone should learn maual process first.
I've learned photoshop in CS6 and now using CC 2021, still I use cs6 for some projects
When Adobe announced it was going out of business (business of selling licences), I upgreaded to CS6, and fror me the package to upgrade to the Premium full suite was cheaper than buying 2 separate upgrades because of my mix of software (inDesign + graphics). For me to more to subscription based model would cost way too much.
So I am stuck on the Mac with Old version of OS-X that still supports 32 bits in order to continue to run CS6.
Yeah, some of the new featurees are nice, but big picture, once can usually get around without them. The "history" panel lets you undo actions so the "reset smart object" isn't truly a new feature. (though does have advantages).
If Adobe offered choice of subscription and perpetual, I woudl still be a customer spending money with them perhaps every 2 years. But as long as they are subscription, it's a no go unless I win the lottery. In they end they get $0 from me.
I'm with you, but I'll add that Apple is just as bad for this stuff -- having major OS revisions every year that often break all your software... meanwhile I can still use Photoshop 7 (from 2002, so 20 years old!) even on the latest Windows 10 build. Who knows how long that will last with MS's forced update scheme these days, though...
His setup killing it
Thank you! Glad you liked it :)
@@PiXimperfect requesting you to do a desk setup video ☺️.
What about annoyances of changing user interface features on every update?, I've been using Photoshop since version 2.1 and studently the toolbox changed, the save and save as changed, the swatches changes , the brushes etc, etc , yes you can restore some of the settings but what about the time You loose trying to find where that hell the stamp tool went or trying to import the classic set of swatches or not clicking cloud open or safe...
100% agree. That kind of busybody UI fiddling messes with our muscle memory. Sticking with an 'obsolete' version like CS6 solves that, and drains Adobe of $ (the only language they seem to understand).
I agree 100% as well. As an ex-Silicon Valley computer person, it really pisses me off when the software companies continue to screw with the user interface. I shouldn't have to call tech support to be able to find out how to do something in their product on any update. I quit taking updates on my Apple products and have hacked into Windows to shutdown Microsoft's updates as well. There was a golden rule when I was in Silicon Valley, NEVER change the user interface. I worked for Apple, IBM, HP, etc.
@@DLMVegas 100%. Even small stuff like re-arranging the layer blend modes (stroke, emboss, etc). After two decades of one order, switching to a different one, it's like chewing tinfoil. "Let's invert the way the crop tool works", or "Let's invert the way save as works". You know what would be a better use of programmer time? Fixing the thousands of bugs that have now infected the program to the point where a small but substantial % of the user base can't even launch the program any more.
@@animatewithdermot I concur.....
My reasons for keeping my software was due to the subscription service that made it impossible for me to afford the post-versions. I miss the perpetual licenses.
For people avoiding CS6 due to 4k making the interface tiny, theres a simple solution. In windows go to your CS6 desktop shortcut properties and under compatibility click the Change high DPI settings button. Turn on the High DPI scaling override and set it to system. That should scale the interface to whatever you have windows scaling set to on your 4k monitor (for me thats 150% in desktop display settings).
I did that but only 100% and 200% scaling makes CS6 apps UI look sharp. When I tried 125%, 150%, 175% scaling it looks blurry
It is ridiculous that Adobe still has problems with interface scaling. Especially frustrated in Camera RAW filter in Photoshop or Bridge when scaling is only 100 or 200% without any in the middle. It cause that it is too small on 100% on 4K screen and way too big on 200%. And in 2021 with full range of high resolution screens still other Adobe Apps also have problems with consistent interface scaling! And my absolute favourite in Photoshop - small filters preview window not scaled since screens had 800x600 px size so now it is big as post stamp which means that you just cannot see any changes in preview.
If You need to do some serious work in PS, You always have to go old school. New stuff is so magical, but for me, it’s a waste off time 90% of the time. Basic tools and years of experience give the greatest results.
I’m working with Adobe CC every day from the beginning and I’ve noticed that I’m swearing more and more in front of my screen (every big number update is +1 more swear level :D)
No matter what version of Photoshop you have, what matters is your creativity.
What's the diffirence to you anyway bub! Both of the versions has Curves. That's all matters for you in a Photoshop software as far as I know.
After watching the wholle video I realized the real reason Unmesh even did this comparison if for the sheer smoothness of Curves on CS6 that literally stomps on the whole 2021 CC versions.
Having a subscription service in practice just seems to make companies lazy, they no longer have to work as hard to get their recurring revenue, and just seem to pay the guys at the top more with the extra funds they're bringing in. I think this is a pretty clear example of how in 10 years, they really haven't done a whole lot
I love how he basically sold CS6 to all of us while trying to encourage us to upgrade. I get it, the updates are really nice and make the whole experience so much more easier, he even explained everything so nicely, I don't think I, too, simply cannot go back to CS6 after using the latest CCs for a couple years now, but... yeah, he opened with the money thing and it makes no sense, none of the things he mentioned make it worth the money in my humble opinion, but hey! There's always a way to get the thing without spending a penny, so that's good
You get more with a subscription plan than you did with a single time payment. CS6 Extended used to cost $1000. Now you pay only $120/year and you get both Photoshop and Lightroom, as well as continuous support and the latest updates. If you bought CS6 and a year later a new version came out, you had to pay $1000 again if you wanted the latest features.
@@kitty.miracleI have a question, do you just have something against old software?
The one and the only Channel I love the most ❤️
Thank for your every kind thing ! Every deep best explanation !! After done watching your video I never ever need to Question you to be more clear !!
It truly makes my day to know that it helps you! Thank you so much for watching :)
When i downloaded cs 6 i said : No. It's too old school . I guess my potato pc will except cc 2015 😂
CS6 is truly a legendary version🔥🔥🔥
i'm still holding to my CS3 for the Automate/Picture Package feature, i do a lot of photo ID and i haven't found a better alternative, it's so simple and fast
You can do it in Lightroom.
People say subscription is bad but paying only for CS6 used to cost $700 ($1000 for the Extended version) and then an year or two later you had to pay again if you wanted the latest version. With subscription you pay $120 for 1 year, meaning you are going to use your PS for 7 years before it costs as much as CS6 (or 10 years if you got Extended). And in these 7 years you will get all the new updates and features. Also, you can do a monthly sub and cancel it at any time if you decide you don't want to use PS anymore. If I paid $700 for PS and in 1 year decided I wanted to move to Affinity instead... yeah, that ain't happening. I shelled out two times my monthly salary and I ain't switching.
My simpler reason to have CS6 with me even though i have Photoshop's latest version installed is that I have all my memories with it as it was the one that got me in to this editing arena and I still use it sometimes just for having fun or making something that reminds of the time I was novice and CS6 supported me to become who I am now.
So it's like CS6 is my home land that gave me birth and latest version is the work land that pays my bills
I'm still holding onto my CS5 student edition that I bought back when I was in college. Once I upgrade to the upcoming M1X/M2 Macs, I'm going to have to upgrade unfortunately :(
I just got a M1 Mac and I had to upgrade too. The subscription makes sense for me because I use multiple Adobe apps (illustrator, aftereffects & photoshop) but I can imagine the trouble it would be if I were to use only Photoshop.
@@nixednamode3607 Cool man! Like you said, the subscription makes sense if you're using multiple Adobe apps. How has After Effects performance been for you so far on M1?
@@lolfirepoisonftl After effects is considerably smoother and faster than my previous i7 Windows laptop and the renders happen faster too. But it still hasn’t been officially optimised for the M1 yet. The one major problem I have with M1 is Photoshop’s 3D tools. The workspace just goes blank and unresponsive whenever I switch to 3D. Apparently we’ll need to wait for further updates
@@nixednamode3607 Yeah I heard other M1 users were having similar issues with some adobe apps a few months ago but I was hoping they would have fixed them by now. Damn well hopefully they get them resolved soon.
My father is still on Adobe Photoshop 7.0
CS6 is the king for every professional. All that new fancy stuff is not needed. And I do not rent software.
Sure, cause the camera raw filter is so unprofessional.. if you love your CS6 that's fine, but don't disrespect technology for the retro vibes
20:00 - Yeah, I feel that slowness too...
Top SSD NVMe 4.0, Ryzen 5950X, 32GB of best possible RAM...
Same here and 2021 CC is a dog on some functions.
I love CS6 it runs on any potato and does the job
I recently went for a job interview for a Graphic Design Lecturer position. I hope they use CS6 instead of CC, otherwise I'm screwed🙆🏾♂️
Put a portable version of photohop cs6 on usb flash drive and run the app from it.. great solution if you work on other computer and you're not sure if PS cs6 is installed/available on the particular system.
I use both CS6 and CC2019 and have to switch between them from time to time. I am more comfortable using cs6. But sometimes, to get easy workaround for a certain task I use CC. For audio editing though, I now use audacity since I am no longer familiar using the Audition since v.3
Started using CS3. Moved to CS5 and to CS6 . I've used CS6 the longest among other versions. Still using CS6 and will probably my last.
Photoshop CS6 : U have to Go For it if you Want the quality
Photoshop 2021 : just sit as lazy as usual . I will do it for ya.
im not a profesional, i only use photoshop as a hobby, i guess ill keep using CS6 since its faster and more stable, ill start regreting it when i actually need a new function from newer versions
UI Scaling is easy to fix on CS6. There are two methods you can search. One is: app scaling on high dpi displays fix 2019 The other is: adobe app scaling on high dpi displays fix.
Also put the name danantonielli in your search.
I'm Using Photoshop CC 2015 Windows 7 32bit It's Also Best
I will NEVER rent software. I don't care if I have to use charcoal sketch instead. XD
I'm still using CS6. And I'm comfortable with it .
There isnt a single reason to upgrade until they drop the subscription model. I dont mind paying for annual updates/ support but you should have the option to keep using what you payed for after halting payment.
1 reason not to upgrade - subscription software model. Sorry, my 1 reason beats your 28 reasons easily.
As much as I loathe the "ransom-ware" aspect of CC2021, the truth is it affects only hobbyists. Professional users can A) price their services accordingly, and 2) write off the subscription cost as a business expense.
i am from vietnam, i love your videos, can you arrange english subtitles so i can easily understand the video content. Hope you are interested in this comment.
I would no sooner rent software as I would rent somebody else's pants. Plus, I trust the Cloud as much as I trust my brother-in-law. Photoshop has played a major role in my life. It is one of the most amazing programs out there available to the general public. But Adobe told us CS6 was the greatest thing since sliced bread-I still believe it. It produced great images back it the Stone Age when it was released. Is there any reason it still doesn't have that capability?
Also, the competition is swiftly catching up, at a fraction of the cost. Just look at the stuff being done by the folks at Affinity. I became an Adobe ACE in Photoshop and I still use CS6 quite a bit in addition to competitors' tools. I love Adobe/Photoshop but they lost me with the subscription model. I don't think either partner has lost any sleep over it, though.
There are still a lot of people using cs6 around me and I don't why but I fail to reason them to use the new one.
Who are still using photoshop cs middle east version version 8.0
When they make a free version, then I will "upgrade".
I have both. I only use cc version unless I something is not working in it or when I need speed
Photoshop 2014 was the last version to support the minimum requirements of my PC (4gb RAM).
I think performance vise it's really stable and I don't use much of the newer features anyways
I still use cs6, it might take a little longer to do everything in comparison to the subscription model but I dont think it misses anything too important. Plus I'm now trying affinity photo & procreate on the ipad. And sometimes superdisplay to get photoshop mirrored fro my laptop to my android s6 lite. Works well even with the pressure sensitive spen / steadtler emr pencil.
The "must be connected to the internet" part solidified that the CC versions were not for me. I liked to work on a laptop with no internet access in a remote cabin in the woods on weekends so nobody would bother me. Later when my job tried to entice me to upgrade all my personal machines I immediately declined. (I have used all the CC versions but I just never installed them on my own equipment.) Then of course when I was "furlowed" due to covid the company immediately killed my CC account anyway so I'll stick with my CS6 versions for the foreseeable future.
CC only needs license verification once per month.
The only problem with ps 2021,,, I don’t think there are enough decent updates with enough content to warrant the stupid price,,
One reason to not upgrade: subscription model
One reason to upgrade: 1337 site and pirated version.
1 main reason to never upgrade - adobe subscription only
I am still using CS6
Cs6 gets the job done but when I have co workers sending me files from 2021 I can’t use some features that they’re using. Like multiple art boards in photoshop 😭
I still use cs6 because the 3d rotation was so much easier. I dont know why adobe never changed it back.
hey bro pls do a video up on matte painting.........it will be a real help to all
The only reason I'm not upgrading is the shit laptop i own
Still on photoshop? Come on move on figma..
Ain't gonna pay for subscription system.
I don't pay and I still got it, arr
I had to use CS6 because I have an old computer :(
2:53 dudes who pirate 😂
I have just fallen in love with your Tutoria I Am your Big Fan From Pakistan
in my local photo studio, he still uses photoshop 7.0
i own adobe photoshop 2021 i downloaded crack ahhahaa
I have both versions running in parallel. CS6 is mine and CC is the company's version so I can keep working at home if I ever need to. But if I'm honest, most of the time I need CS6 because logging in for CC already annoys me. But I am rather oldschool and often work destructively. Curves with ctrl+m for example, because then I'm just faster.
Same here I have both versions. I sometimes actually forget to use CC and end up using cs6. Client doesn't notice, the job is done, looks great, no problems at the printers NEXT!!!
Everything is non-destructive if you keep backups.
Hey Unmesh, Why can't we fully edit RAW in Photoshop, such as frequency separation? I hate having to do some things in Lightroom, export and then do the rest in Photoshop. It's stupid. We should be able to do all edits in Photoshop as a RAW file and then finalize as a Jpeg or whatever.
@KAY What are we doing to our NAF files in lightroom before they are exported as jpegs?
Stupid Adobe bans older Pcs from using updated Photoshop since 2021. So there's really no point in upgrading for most people and most of all there is one serious reason not to pay for Photoshop at all. But why vloggers would care for common Photoshop users, right?
And Camera Raw is such a screw up since 2021. Totally unusable since Adobe completely destroyed its UI. I hate Adobe for all this crap.
Adobe >2017 too heavy for load in my Athlon 240GE only PC
I am starting digital artist, thank you for saving my money cause I could see how most of these upgrades I actually dont need to use and I'll stick with my cs6
One thing I wish Adobe would do is trim off the old code and refactor their code so their products are leaner on hard disk space
Agree. No more updates with new features, just get the program back to the rock solid stability of the olden times (10 years ago). Also make it faster. God but the latest version (on the rare 5 minute window when it actually booted) is SLLOOOOOOWWWWWWW
can you provide a link to download cs6 ?
I'm still using CS6 cause it's the only up to date version I can use on my old PC from 2014. It still works fine and does the job well.
I've just upgraded to 2021 from CS6 and if wasn't for my job paying for the apps i would've booted it to the curb and reverted back to CS6 extended. Adobe has gone to the dogs with its latest iteration of bloatware. The tracing tool in Illustrator and the Content Aware tools are the ONLY real breakthroughs Adobe have come out with in the last decade, everything else is overly dressed bells and whistles. This whole suite used to be tailored for working professionals now its targeted towards one click millennials. Everything actually TAKES LONGER to access, what in the hell were Adobe thinking hiding all the USEFUL tools under a extra menu flyout?? Illustrator is hot garbage having to search everywhere for what used to be bread and butter tools and menu sets. Is there a way to revert the entire workspace from Casual Insta BABY mode back to "Efficient Productivity" mode??
Worst of all, Tracing and Content Aware haven't even improved much at all from CS6, Adobe have owned Macro Freehand for well over a decade now and still couldnt implement any of the groundbreaking drawing tools and functions from that 'ancient" program into Illustrator yet?
Hey Unmesh, before i even watch the whole video, i love that background, hope i will see it in the future videos❤❤❤
Still happy with my CS6. What I do not like are Apple OS upgrades rendering it inoperable. I'm on the last OS iteration and I expect Apple to force my hand at some point to go to CC.
Equally as bad is losing my beloved Picasa 3 if I'm forced to upgrade the OS. Anyone else still a Picasa 3 die hard? 💪
You forgot to mention Puppet Pin tool, that totally missing from CS6
Brother i really use cs3 😅 not cs6
I love your new setup,looks so nice to watch
It seems that the CS6 is just too good still 😛
Sorry but no
Subscription = rent = adobe can cancel your subscription without any permission
+ now you need to pay additional money for Pantone colors (yes, PAY FOR COLORS)
Sorry my friend CS6
RIP CS6 and CC 2021 🥺
I'm still using the legendary Photoshop CS3 😂😂😎✌️
Quantity will never beat quality.
Never, never paying thousands upon thousands for modern Photoshop when I could buy Photoshop 5.0 for $20 and get all I need. I'll stick with cc.
