Digital BW, The Print

I was wondering if anyone is running BOTH, Photoshop 6 & 7 on their machine.

I'm not sure I want/need 7 as I'm pretty comfortable with 6.  Not real
knowledgable about the differences (asking for enlightenment here ;-).  Now,
moving from 5 to 6 was very much worth it for me with the palates being able
to be tucked away, text especially...oh, and the layers effects - those were
all good reasons for me to move from 5 to 6.

Plus I'm curious if you can run 6 & 7 on the same machine, setting one in
particular as the default.  Reason this occurs to me is when I went from 4
to 5 immediately with an upgrade they were both on the system, and
accessible as individuals.

Thanks,
Cleavis

Yes, I'm running both 6 and 7 on my Mac.

What should work if you are having trouble is install the upgrade to 7, then
re-install 6. I would think this would work on Windows.

I have both 6 & 7 running on my Windows 2000 machine. No problem. Just make 
sure 7 doesn't install to the same directory. Setting one or the other to 
the default just means making sure it is associated with the particular 
file extension you want to use with it.

Of course, now that I'm used to 7, I haven't used 6 in months, but some 
people do think that 6 is better than 7 for certain conversions.
