There has been some confusion between the various slicers, Anycubic Slicer, Chitu Slicer, Chitubox, and Photon Workshop.
A little story.
Chitu-CBD (CBD) and Anycubic (AC) are separate entities.
CBD's main business is OS/mainboard, firmware/software design, development and solutions for 3D printers.
AC sourced the core of the original Photon printer from CBD. The mainboard used in the original Photon is a CBD board. The original AC Photon slicer is a rebadged Chitu slicer.
CBD discontinued the original slicer (Chitu Slicer 1.3.6 and therefore Photon Slicer v1.3.6) and rebuilt a new slicer from the ground up. This is known now as Chitubox.
[Fun fact :
Chitubox integrates code and ideas first seen in the community projects VoxelOps, Validator, Rob's 3D photon Viewer and Photon File Editor Project.]
Chitubox was designed to support various printers. This includes Phrozen, Kelant, Elegoo, Sparkmaker, etc. The reason behind new Chitubox was to be a standalone slicer that would appeal to as many users across all platforms. So that they can be convinced enough to upgrade and pay for a future Pro version.
In the meantime, AC however developed their own mainboard together with their own slicer called Photon Workshop (based on Creation Workshop designed by Steve Hernandez.)
This is where the CBD and AC relationship for the Photon split. And this is also where the Photon-S entered the picture, and it was nothing like a Photon except in name.
As Chitubox was designed to support various printers, support for the S was also included in Chitubox version 1.4.0.
[ However, Anycubic then released a firmware update for the Photon-S that broke Chitubox slicing support with a proprietary *.pws file format. Thus forcing Photon-S owners to use Photon Workshop as the only slicer. ]
The original Photon can thus use the original Chitu Slicer, the Photon Slicer and Chitubox. Whereas the Photon-S can now only use Photon Workshop to slice files.
And they all sliced happily ever after. Except for the poor gimped Photon-S.
Wait. There's more. Unbeknownst to most, the little original Photon can also use the Photon Open Slicer, and it will always be free and unbeholden to anyone.

But that's for another little story.
