Photoshop installation?

is it possible to install photoshop to a memory stick and use it then on other computers?, if so how ??

Adobe Photoshop? - probably not. Have a look at http://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_pi... This is Portable GIMP. The site has a lot of portable applications designed to fit on a USB memory key.

Get the GIMP instead. It's a free and sophisticated image editing program.
It will only work if you install the application on every machine and choose your stick as the default installation directory, ie f:\photoshop. Every machine will still need to have PS installed so the DLLs, etc are there, which are put in the system32 directory.



Once upon a time I successfully got IE5.5 and IE6 installed on the same machine in different directories. The apps were self contained in their respective directory. You would have a very hard time duplicating that with PS though. It could be done but it is not worth the trouble. I did it for money and would not do it again for fun, I would buy a second computer first if that gives you an indication of what a pain it was.
As usual when you install photoshop or any software onto the hardrive by clicking the c drive and then the folder instead select the drive which your mem stick is in and install it there for eg if the mem stick is in the F drive
Thanks for giving a very innovative idea. I have not tried it but I will do now %26 see what happens. Problem is only with shared dll files.



Because every body never keeps the same aplication so the dll files shared will not be of same nature %26 identity. On Same system I am 100% sure it will run but slow. While installing you will have to define the path %26 location of instalation. It is very intresting, I don't know how much apriciation your question deserves.
