I have both Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC 2014 installed on my laptop.

I'd like to save some disc space by uninstalling Photoshop CC. Is there a downside to doing this?

I did it six months ago with no ill effects.

I did it 6 minutes ago :-)

Don't know why I waited :-/

No reason to keep both, it was just wasting space on my SSD :-(

Bye Bye CC

Thanks

I did this sometime ago and lost the ability to execute my droplets which I had created. The only way I was able to regain the ability of them executing again was to reinstall the previous version.

I do not remember if it was PS CC or PS CC 2014 that I uninstalled.

BUT, I would not want to be without my droplets — an executable file you create that will perform Photoshop actions on any file, from anywhere. Just drag and drop the original image onto a desktop droplet icon.

Another wrinkle to LR6. You would think that "Use Graphics Processor" turned ON would be better if your video card passes the initialization tests. Maybe NOT.

There is some lag with "Use Graphics Processor" turned on; however, not nearly as much as before I disabled the HD Audio Driver over HDMI that WAS IN USE.

Further testing reveals turning OFF "Use Graphics Processor"; there is virtually NO LAG whatsoever.

Who would have thought that, especially when Adobe is touting "Use Graphics Processor" turned on as being a BOOST to performance.

Perhaps my computer/memory infrastructure is so far faster than my EVGA GeForce GT740 video card with 2GB of DDR5 memory that it works better without using the GPU ???

I'm confused and puzzled but there is one thing of which I'm certain — I will use LR6 with "Use Graphics Processor" turned OFF.

My computer is an AMD FX 8350 8 core 4 GHz CPU which is overclocked with 16 GB of DDR3 2400MHz memory and my video card is an EVGA GeForce GT740 with 2GB of DDR5 memory onboard. My OS, LR6 & PS CC 2015 are installed on an SSD along with the LR6 catalog and I have a second SSD for my caches. My DNG files reside on a SATA3 HDD.

The same issue now comes up with Lightroom 5.7 and Lightroom CC. Do you keep 5.7?

After I upgraded the catalog to LR6 I chose to not keep the LR 5.7 catalog thus making LR5.7 unneeded. I uninstalled it to not detriment.

You will loose the Oil Paint filter. I use it often but you may not.

Simply do not uninstall it.

Why not?

Nice teeth you have granny!

The way the versions of LR are named tells me that the 5.7 version is a stand alone that would continue to work should he ever drop the CC version monthly tax. If uninstalled, it's gone unless he has a complete copy of the install files.

You never know.
