Photoshop CS6 Extended Tutorial

This quick tutorial will help those that have regular Photoshop CS6 to convert it to Photoshop CS6 Extended. I would have a video tutorial, but I don't know what program to use to record my desktop so sorry in advance. I only know this works with Windows operating systems so I'm not sure if it will for any other ones. You will also need Winrar to open the folders.

  • If you don't have Photoshop CS6 already, you have to download it at the Adobe website (www.adobe.com) and create a username and password in order to download the trial. Once that's downloaded (It'll take a while depending on internet speed.) it will give you the option to "Start Trial" and click that. PS CS6 Extended will open afterwords and just close it. (Go to bullet 6 to continue.)
  • For those unfortunate to have PS CS6 Extended and were stuck with regular Photoshop CS6, I have to trial dll file to sorta "restart" everything here: Trial (You have to open this up with Winrar or any other program that opens .rar files.)
  • If you don't know what system type you use just go to start->computer->(Up on top) system properties and look for system type and it should tell you if you have a 64-bit computer or a 32-bit. This also applies to what Winrar download you'll have to use.
  • Once you know what system type you are running and have opened the rar file in Winrar, click on "Trial" folder and open your corresponding folder (64-bit or 32-Bit) and there should be a dll file. Have this ready because you'll have to open up the PS folder like so: start->computer->Local Disk (C:)->program files->adobe->Adobe Photoshop CS6
  • Go back to the Trial folder with your corresponding dll file and click and drag it into the Adobe Photoshop CS6 folder. It will then say Move and Replace and click on it. Once it does that, the Photoshop Trial screen will open up so click on Start Trial. Photoshop will open up and just close it.
  • If you haven't already, read Bullet 3 to know what to do before this next step. Now you'll have to download the Photoshop CS6 Extended dll file. You can find it here: PS CS6 Extended Download the rar file and open it up with Winrar. Click on the Activate folder and open up your corresponding folder according to your system type. Once you open that you'll see the dll file. Keep Winrar open. 
  • Read Bullet 4 to open up your Adobe Photoshop CS6 folder. Click and drag the dll file from the Activate folder on Winrar and drag it into the Adobe Photoshop CS6 folder. PS CS6 Extended might open up, if not, just open it up on your own. You'll see that it says Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended
  • To make sure it is the full non-trial PS CS6 Extended version, with Photoshop open look for the Help tab, click that and you'll see Product Registration, Deactivate and Updates are greyed out. 
Hope this helps you guys finally get Photoshop CS6 Extended. Thanks for reading! ^^
