I’m considering a Canon 6D. Will it require that I upgrade Photoshop to CS6? I only recently upgraded to version CS5 and would rather not take on the unneeded expense.
I believe CS5 will be sufficient for the Mark II. Correct?
Thanks.
I’m not sure I see the correlation between camera model and Photoshop version. There’s no reason to upgrade to CS6 because you change cameras. You’re only processing the image from a camera, any camera, in Photoshop.
I never use CS5, maybe once in a blue moon, I use Lightroom. The 6D is one Heck of a good camera. It’s so good with night shots… wow!
