PS Photo Pro X3 Ultimate vs PSP X4

Post by pwilbarger »

I have both the above loaded and was wondering if I uninstalled X3 would that affect the X4 installation in any way? Both take up quite a bit of drive space.

TIA

Welcome to the forums! :lol: Glad you finally made it after your initial password problem...

I don't think it should make any difference since they are quite separate installations. Equally, many users here (me included) have various versions installed on the one computer and leave them all there with no conflicts... But if space is a problem, then remove X3.

thanks. I'll see if I need the space for other things but will probably remove X3.

Hi Phil,
How big is your main drive on your system that you are worried about space. I remember 10 years ago having a main hard drive that was 40 Gb and now even my laptop has over 700 Gb so having two iterations of PSP occupies less than 1 %.
A bonus of having more than one version of PSP is that there have been a number of changes some good and some bad. Some people use one version for one set of processes and another for a different set.
As well if something goes wrong with your X4 (especially when you need to process something quickly) , you will always have the other version to fall back on and as a backup.
Backups are very important in all aspects of computer and photography work.
