Can't upgrade from Photoshop elements 8 to Photoshop CS4

I recently installed an SSD, and had to reinstall Photoshop CS4 upgrade (from Elements 8). Because the upgrade check screen does not list anything newer than Elements 7, I cannot continue the install. In the past I called Adobe, and they had me ctrl + shift + double-click to get a challenge code. Tried to call Adobe this time but unfortunately the automated phone system said they don't support Photoshop via phone any more, or something like that, so I'm dead in the water. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
PW.

    There are no problems running CS4 if your computer meets the system requirements.
    The only "issue" will be money issuing from your wallet!

  • Can I upgrade from Ilustrator 10 To Illustrator CS4?

    Hello,
    Do any of you know if I can upgrade from adobe Illustrator 10 to Adobe Illustrator CS4?
    I talked to one person in adobe customer service and she said yes, but I just want to make sure that I can do this without any problem, I thought maybe one of you already has done this upgrade.
    I looked in the adobe CS4 Upgrade page and only shows CS, CS2 and CS3 and Freehand but nothing about Illustrator 10.
    That's why I would like to double check before purchasing  CS4 Upgrade.
    I appreciate any info you may provide.
    Thank You!

    Albis,
    Check my answer from this querry:

    You can buy an unregistered copy of Illustrator upgrade CS or CS2 and Adobe will honor the upgrade policy, they are very good at that. Finding one on eBay is easy and if you use sellers who use PayPal you will avoid the rip-off artists. But since the demand is low and the selling prices are reasonable you can expect to upgrade to CS or CS2 quite reasonably with very few fears of loosing your money. Then, when you want to upgrade to CS 3 or CS4 you be on the upgrade path and eligible to do so.
    Hope this helps.

  • Upgrade from Premiere Elements

    Can I upgrade from Premiere Elements to Premiere Pro at some discount?

    No, only from earlier versions of Premiere Pro: http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/buying-guide-upgrades.html

    How can I upgrade from Photoshop Elements 12 to Photoshop Elements 13  AND Photoshop Premiere Elements 13? What would be the price?

    Hi Raymond,
    I would advise you to buy the bundle package of Premiere and Photoshop Elements 13 which cost 149 $ but due to online promotions the price right now is 119 $.
    Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

  • Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion?

    Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion?   Or should I have done it before installing Lion?

    I think you are missing my point.
    For the last many editions of the creative suite they have each been completely independent. There is no "going over a previous version. Each version stands on its own and is a clean install — as long as you haven't installed that specific version before.
    And "obsolete" is a pretty relative term. With products as complex as the creative suite there are often features (or even whole applications) that change between versions. Many people I know keep earlier versions around, just for that very reason.

    So, just so I have this straight; would CS upgrade to CS5 or did you mean I would have to purchase CS5 to upgrade to CS6? And If so, does CS upgrade any further? i.e. CS 3 or 4? Thanks for your reply --
    CS will not upgrade to CS5. Historically, only CS2-CS4 ever qualified for upgrade to CS5. Those versions are all long superseded and no longer available from Adobe.
    Adobe currently only sells CS6 (for outright purchase) and the Cloud (by subscription only). Cloud members have access to both CS6 and CC.
    The only way to upgrade to CS6 is from CS5. Adobe no longer sells CS5. Unless you purchase the full version of CS5 from elsewhere (I don't see any point in that in this case) you would not be able to upgrade to CS6. You'd have to buy the full version of CS6. Or subscribe to one of the Cloud plans. PS+LR is an excellent deal if you use those products.

  • How can I upgrade from Photoshop CS4 to Cs 5 or 6 without buying the creative cloud?

    How can I upgrade from Photoshop CS4 to Cs 5 or 6 without buying the creative cloud?

    Well CS5's ship has sailed.
    CS6 can still be purchased on Perpetual License but it's not going to have all the bells & whistles that the current versions have.  Just as long as you understand what you're getting.

  • Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS3 to CS6?

    Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS3 to CS6?

    I think so, but only via the Creative Cloud, and with a one year commitment. And that upgrade may be only for suites, not individual apps. I didn't look that closely. See the page here:

  • Upgrade Pricing for Photoshop Elements to Photoshop CC

    It would be great if Adobe offered upgrade pricing from Photoshop Elements to Photoshop CC at $9.99/month, just like the offer to those using CS3 or higher.  I would like to have the ability to be able to really put Photoshop CC though its paces to make sure that at $19.99/month in the future is worth the investment.

    Does anyone from Adobe care to respond?

  • Photoshop Elements or Photoshop Premiere - 9

    Which one would be better to create slideshows with?
    I've been told either one will do, even getting both would be better.
    What I'm really looking for is the ability to select "Random Transitions".
    Something similar to PowerPoint. I've tried the trial version of Microsoft Office & PowerPoint has a plethora of transitions to choose from.
    I would like to have that option of choosing from many different transitions.
    I would just like to get some feedback about Photoshop Elements and Photoshop Premiere.
    Anything would be helpful.
    Thank you in advance for your feedback.

    For pan and zoom,
    the Elements Organizer Slide Show Editor (avaiable when using only Photoshop Elements) is simpler for specifying pan and zoom: you can draw a box for the startng point and a second box for the ending point of the pan or the zoom.

    Do you know what video formats are acceptable for posting a slide show video to Facebook ?
    You can write a WMV video file output of your slide show from the Elements Organizer Slide Show Editor, but I don't know if that will work for Facebook.

  • Can I upgrade from a CS5 Student Edition (PC) to CS6 Mac?

    Hi, quick question:
    Some time ago I bought CS5 (student edition) for my PC. I've never opened the box, so it's uninstalled.
    I'm getting a mac (it arrived today actually) and I'd like to be able to install photoshop on this. Since it's a different platform, can I upgrade from my current version without having to buy the full-priced CS6 for mac?
    Basically, could I: install my student edition on my pc, get the student verification code (I'm still a student), and then not just go through the upgrade process to CS6 but also cross platforms from pc to mac?
    OR: could I install the pc version, upgrade to CS6 (still pc) then crossgrade that?
    Would it be the same cost?
    Thanks so much

    There are no upgrades for student versions. If you are still eligible you simply buy a new CS6 license for Mac.

  • Can I upgrade from Web Premium 3 to Production Premium 4 and keep Dreamweaver?

    I have a question I hope someone can answer. I am thinking of upgrading from my Web Design Premium Cs3 to the Production Suite. I use Dreamweaver a lot but not for major website coding and such and I am quite comfy with CS3. So I would like to keep DW CS3 but I am using after effects more and more with animation projects and would like to upgrade from Web CS3 to Production CS4 to gain AE CS4.
    My main question is this: will I loose Dreamweaver CS3 and Acrobat if I do the Production update? I currently run a stand alone version of AE Ver. 7 Pro and acquired a new Macbook Pro that would run AE and Premier, Photoshop etc. I just don't want to loose Dreamweaver in the upgrade.
    Also, if I wanted to upgrade Acrobat in the future how would that work? Is Adobe forcing the upgrade to the Master Suite in my situation? Or can I upgrade individual components in the future?
    A simple yes or no answer is fine.
    Thanks!

    The simple yes or no answer you are looking for is no, you cannot upgrade individual components in the future. Once you buy into the suite, you can upgrade the full suite or upgrade from one version of the suite to a higher version of the suite.
    For futher information, I suggest you directly contact Adobe Customer Support. This forum is not a venue for direct communication with Adobe, but rather, a user to user forum with emphasis on users. Adobe does not officially monitor this forum.

    I own both Photoshop Elements and Photoshop (the original editor).  I find the elements editor to be too cumbersome to use and would just like to edit using Photoshop.  When I try to install Photoshop as a secondary editor in elements I get an error message that I don't need to this because it is already supported on the edit menu and task bar.  I can not find any way to send images to Photoshop for editing - all I can do is send them to elements editor or the premier editor.  Can someone tell me how to send them to Photoshop?  Thanks!

    Hi,
    The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
    You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.

  • What is the different between Photoshop element and Photoshop CS 6?

    What is the different between Photoshop element and Photoshop CS 6?
    Which version is latest Photoshop CS 6 or Photoshop CS 8?
    Can Photoshop CS 6 & 8 compatible with Window 7 or Window 8.1?
    What is the different between Photoshop Element and CS 6 ?

    They are two entirely different and separate applications, each one with its own separate and independent development and engineering teams.
    Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve. It has a bunch of features that are absent in Elements.
    Elements, on the other hand, is a simplified application lacking much of the power and refinements of Photoshop proper, but it has hand-holding features designed to appeal to amateurs and beginners.
    If your needs are not complicated, Elements may just be the ticket for you.
