Can Adobe Photoshop Elements be considered as an alternative to Creative Cloud?

I am a Photoshop user but i don't like to pay monthly for using Photoshop, when i searched the web for a solution i found articles saying that Adobe Photoshop Elements can be considered as a Photoshop Alternative.
Can anyone tell me if it is ok to buy Adobe Photoshop Elements instead of Adobe Creative Cloud ? I am not a experienced or professional Photoshop user , i just use it for my office purposes like removing background from images, using layers to create new images, creating brochure etc.

It seems like all you need to do is some basic image editing , you don't need adobe photoshop creative cloud to do basic image editing.
Adobe photoshop elements is more than enough for you, you can buy it with confidence. It seems that in the article about photoshop alternatives that you provided , there are free photoshop alternatives that you could use. If you don't trust free image editors or your business don't allow it , your best choice is to buy photoshop elements. Since you are a photoshop user , it will be easy for you to use photoshop elements than any other image editor.

    Hi,
    As far as i can tell pse 5 does work on windows 8, but after installing you need to apply the 5.02 update.

    Sorry, Photoshop elements is a program for Windows  or Mac so it will not run on your iPad. There are some Adobe apps on iPad, and iPhone such as PSexpress and Revel that can edit photos.

  • Can Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 be installed on Mac OS X 10.8 (ML)?

    We have had a copy of PE10 sitting around for a while, but never got around to installing it.  We are now running Mountain Lion on our 2010 iMac which easily meets the hardware requirements for PE10, but cannot get it to install.  The serial is fully valid, that has been verified.  It doesn't even complete the install of the first disc and errors out during install and says it cannot complete the install with Error Code 7.  I'll have to run the install again to get the full error and post it, but I'm wanting to know if it is a compatibility issue with the OS being past 10.7.  It sounds like a stupid question since clearly it says on the box "through 10.7", but that's because 10.8 wasn't out yet, so I feel like it should be compatible and there is just something not meshing right.  Or, it is fully incompatible and we are SOL.
    Anyone else have this issue or know the solution?

    Sorry for the late reply...the specific error is as follows (I just tried again tonight):

    Can Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 show a pixillated version of a subject?  Can it show just the edges of the subject?

    Those effects are in the Filters palette in Expert mode.
    Suggestion: download the trial version and see if that's what you want.

  • Can't install Adobe Photoshop elements 4 anymore. Why?

    Greetings!
    I tried to open a post with the support team, but they said that the support for my product was no longer available.
    I'll copy the post I posted to the support:
    After not using Adobe photoshop elements 4 for a year, i decided to install it again on my new harddrive as my last one crashed. When I
    try to install from the CD an error message shows up telling "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application
    vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows installage package". I've tried to install the CD on several computers after that, but I just get the same error message every single time. The CD is not damaged/scratched in any way as it has only been stored on the box it came with.
    I am using a legal version of Windows XP and I don't have pirated software that should effect the installation.
    Operating System: Windows XP Home
    Browser: Opera
    Has it ever worked? If so, what's changed? (provide comments in description field): Yes
    Same results with different file?: Not Applicable
    Same results with different computer?: Yes
    Recent System Hardware or Software change?: No
    I'm considering just downloading pirated software instead. I bet I can have less problems and better support if I download it pirated, instead of buying it (AGAIN) for a 100$. It's ridiculous if u ask me.

    If you are lucky...
    You could try coping the CD contents into your OS clipboard and paste it onto your destop. Run the setup.exe from this desktop folder. It's worth a try although I'm doubtful it's the answer.  (Opera shouldn't be a factor...use it myself.)
    Could be XP SP2 related maybe have a look at this thread:
    http://techrepublic.com.com/5208-6230-0.html?forumID=101&threadID=250182&start=0
    or perhaps the windows installer package isn't up to date...see this:

    and this goes with the above link...it's to do with Office but note the cause of the error:

    Have you contact Adobe directly as you should yet? These forums are for user-to user help.
    Adobe is practically free support too when you buy the products. I doubt they charge much at all for support with their products, you are paying more for a license to use the product commercially. The point is, even if someone managed to revser engineer a product, then sold it on for cheaper, if the product gets a fault or goes down, the person who modified it can't even help with that because the company that orignally made it would be the only ones lightly to know. Its not worth the risk at the end of the day. If you're going to get pirated coppies, get your monies worth and pay nothing....give you some more money to spend on the company when they sue you for it.

    I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements on an older Mac...just bought Mac Mini and migrated all my files...but 4.0 Does not work....can I upgrade PSE 4.0 to PSE 13?

    Yes, any version of PSE qualifies for upgrade pricing, but if you're in the US you might want to consider running the trial  for now and waiting for the black friday specials, when the full version will be a lot less than the adobe upgrade price.

  • How can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements Update 9.0.3 after I get a message that Installation has failed and the solution is not in troubleshooting or forums?

    My Photoshop Elements 9 stopped working a couple of weeks ago. When I clicked the PSE button nothing happened. I tried this several times over a few days and it still failed. I uninstalled the program and re-installed it. It worked well. Then I tried to install the Update 9.0.3. The download was almost successful. When it was about to show 100% successful for the download, an error message said the installation had failed and that I should try later. I tried this many times over a few days and the same result occurred. I tried troubleshooting and the answers to questions, but I could not find an answer. I don't know where to go to see if anybody has answered my question. How can I install Update 9.0.3?

  • Can't Download Photos to Adobe Photoshop Elements after iPhone Upgrade

    Howdy, I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 with my iPhone ever since I bought my iPhone 3G when they came out and have never had any trouble. Whenever I synced my phone and there were new photos on it, Photoshop Elements would start it's photo downloader program and let me download the pics from my phone and put them in the organizer. Then it would let me delete them.
    But this weekend I took a bunch of photos and now Photoshop Elements startes up during the sync as usual, but before it lets me download any pictures I get a message from Photoshop Elements saying "Downloader needs to close" (or something like that) and I never get the chance to download the pictures. The only way I have to get the pictures off my phone right now is to mail them as attachments.
    A few days ago I upgraded to the 2.2 iPhone software and I was wondering if this might be the source of the problem. Has anyone else heard of any problems like this?

    I'm having the same problem with Elements 6.0. The downloader starts up and I can see the first few pictures in the downloader before the error message comes up and the downloader must shut down. The only way to get pictures off the phone is through Win Explorer. But, when you try to remove the pics off the phone (i.e. move or delete) the phone reboots. The only way to remove the pics is one at a time on the phone itself.
    It is extremely frustrating that Apple has created a decent way to sync music and video, but no iTunes way to handle pictures. Honestly I amazed that Apple has worked so hard to be the standard for music, etc. that they just leave it to the consumer to figure out the picture stuff. Come on Apple.

    I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from Adobe and Windows. I have a new pc with window 8.1.

    It could be a coincidence, but I rebooted the machine and (knock on wood) PSE13 seems to be working ok.

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.
