New Adobe CS6 Tutorials – 30 Hours of Free Online Video Training
January 31st, 2013 Leave a comment
We’ve mentioned Adobe TV in the past, but it just keeps getting bigger and better… When Creative Suite 6 was released, they published a 15-hour series of new online tutorials – but have recently doubled this to over 30 hours now of free video training for all CS6 tools.
You’ll learn the basics with Getting Started overviews plus What’s New reviews by product experts, with 274 total chapters covering all major CS6 applications.
If you don’t already have the programs installed on your computer but would like to get going today, you can easily download the free working trials for any CS6 product for Windows or Mac – then install, run, and start your training…
Acrobat is not listed below, but if you want to learn how to use that software then see these separate three hours for Acrobat X or two hours for Acrobat XI.
We’ve also linked below nearly two hours of sessions for the Creative Cloud, if decide to sign up for free membership there, or are already a member.

For some reason most of these videos don’t play. Usually the first one loads and plays, then from there on the screen remains black when the others are clicked on. Any idea why this happens?
Not sure why Sylvester – just tested again and they all work fine on our end… Perhaps clear your browser cache/cookies and try again, or give it a shot with another browser?
I was wondering if I could redownload the adobe cs6 trial somehow as one of my folks was sick and was not able to use the computer. I am really interested in seeing if I want to buy this and if I can actually learn to use it with my intuos 4, I have the older stuff from you guys (trial) but like I said it is expired. :(
Hi Jennifer, you can download the CS6 trial as many times as you like, but you can only run it once on any given computer…
So unfortunately you can’t repeat it on the same system, and there’s really no way around that. But if you have another machine available, then you could install and run it fresh on that.
Hope everyone is well again and good luck!
A great big woops to the moderator that helped me – it was corel I downloaded not adobe, and I am so glad because I really want to try adobe and with its reviews I really want to buy adobe products more then anything else – thanks and again my apologies!!
Glad to hear you got it sorted out Jennifer, and thanks for letting us know – good luck and enjoy the trial!
ok
I am a big fan of Adobe. I too bought the CS1 version of PS [Photoshop] way back, and want to download these latest videos covering CS6 features as my Internet is very slow. Is there any way I can do that?
Sorry, they are streaming only – so as far as we are aware, it’s not possible to download the videos for offline use. It’s possible there may be a third-party utility you can use, but there’s none we can suggest.
Can you have both Adobe CS2 and CS6 on the same computer?
Yes, you should be able to Cece – one does not uninstall the other and they should run side-by-side… In fact, some have kept all versions of Creative Suite running on the same system.
What is the ideal system or at least pretty good system to run on with Adobe Master Collection CS6?
Well the Master Collection suite – like most CS6 products – actually has some pretty specific system requirements for what you should have, particularly for the video tools… Just make sure your computer exceeds those specifications and you should be fine.
There is no official “ideal” because hardware technology is always advancing and it’s always possible to add more power, size, capacity, or speed… But if you beat those stated minimums by a good margin then you should be a happy camper.
Also helpful: Adobe has put together guidelines for How to Optimize Performance in Photoshop (CS6/CS5/CS4), if that’s one of your main applications.
I have never used CS6 – have bought it and would like to know for flyers and adverts, which is the best module to start with.
Greetings Philipa, Adobe InDesign will take care of all your needs for print!
