Computer for Running Photoshop Elements 11

Here are the specs for a laptop I'm going to be buying. Please let me know whether it's enough to smoothly run Photoshop Elements 11, 64-bit at a fast yet consumer-level pace. I don't want it to be slow, but I do not need excess power either.
Here are the specs:
Processor = Intel Core i5-3230M Processor (3.20GHz, 3MB Cache, 1600MHz) with Intel HD Graphics 4000
Graphics = Intel HM77 - Intel HD 4000 Integrated Graphics (WWAN or mSATA capable)
Memory = 4GB PC3-12800 DDR3L SDRAM 1600MHz SODIMM
Hard Drive = 500GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200rpm
Operating System = Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit

Your system info seems to  meets all the minimum system requirement for PSE 11 . See this

  • Build the best computer for running Photoshop, 64bit 32bit

    Hi people,
    the new Photoshop CS4 include new improvement who include support of Vista
    64bit and GPU acceleration trough OpenGL 2
    ok, so i want build a very fast computer how take advantage of new
    improvement dedicated to photoshop CS4.
    So the first question 32(XP or Vista) or 64bit ? have you any bench ?
    Vista 32bit support 4GB of maximum memory
    Vista 64bit support 16GB
    what i should do care also... ?
    thx people...

    >dpick,
    Do you want to share your performance preference settings and which version of PS you are running?
    Sorry I haven't replied sooner. I run CS3, and here's my performance settings:
    RAM--3255mb (100%)
    scratch--dedicated 40gb partition
    20 history states, 6 cache levels.
    As said, I rarely have issues. But I do get white fades once in a while, and when I load 16bit panoramics, the system really slows down quite a bit.
    I built this system with an eye towards running Vista x64. There are few motherboards supporting more than 8gb of ram. Most are server boards, and they have their own peculiarities. The few that will support more ram normally require 4gb sticks--good luck with those. However, 8gigs is still very, very sweet. With a quadcore running at 3.2ghz, I never worry at all how many apps I have open, and the only thing that will bring this system to its knees are those dang 16bit panos...

  • How do I resolve a constant rainbow wheel when running Photoshop Elements 10?

    Greetings,
    After running Photoshop Elements 10 successfully for over two years, for the last couple of months I am continually getting a rainbow wheel whenever I am trying to use my PSE 10 software.  It takes forever for the wheel to resolve itself.  I even close down all other programs and only have PSE 10 running.  The performance is terrible.  I am running this program on a Macbook Pro with 4 GB RAM and more than 100 GB free disk space. 
    Here's what I have done to try and remedy this so far:
    1. Had the Apple technical team run diagnostics on my computer to detect any operating system or hardware issues.  NONE identified.  Also ran Disk Utility and performed a disk cleanup.
    2. Spent a day deleting a bunch of files to free up additional disk space.  Before: 80 GB.  After: 107 GB.
    3. Purchased (2) 4GB RAM sticks and had a certified Apple technician replace my current (2) 2GB sticks with these new ones.  Now running with 8GB RAM. 
    With all this, I am STILL getting the rainbow wheel.  Has anyone experienced this problem, or does anyone have any suggestions? 
    Should I uninstall and reinstall the software (Photoshop Elements 10 + Organizer)?  If so, will all my categorized photos, along with caption notes, file notes, and tags in the Organizer be lost with the new installation?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

  • Help! 2006 imac need Mountain Lion to run Photoshop elements

    Hi, getting very frustrated : (
    Have a 2006 Imac Intel; upgraded to snow leopard last year; now wanted to run Photoshop elements. Imac says NO. We needed Mountain Lion- ordered this online, computer says NO. Need more memory. So have bought and installed new memory (2gb + 1gb). Computer still says no, wont download Mountain Lion.
    I just want to use elements!!
    Any help appreciated, I'm not that computer savvy
    Thanks : D
    Gareth

    The new version PSE will run on OS X 10.7 Lion.
    PSE 12 runs on 10.7- 10.9
    Here are the system requirements for OS X 10.7 Lion.
    To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
    An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended); you can install without Mac OS X v10.6 by using an OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, available on the Apple Online Store
    7 GB of available disk space
    2 GB of RAM
    To find out info about your system
    Click on the Apple symbol in the upper left of the OS X main menu bar. A drop down menu appears. Click About this Mac. A smaller popup window appears. This gives you basic info like what version of OS X your iMac is running, the speed of your iMac's CPU and how much RAM is installed.
    Click on the button that says More Info. A larger window appears giving you a complete overview of your iMac's hardware specs.
    Highlight all of this info and copy/paste all of this into another reply to this post, editing out your iMac's serial number before actually posting the reply. This will tell us everything about your iMac so we may begin to help with your iMac issues.
    If your 2006 iMac can run Lion then you can purchase a Lion install code here.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
    Before installing a major systems upgrade, it would be prudent to have a viable backup of your current system and important data in case something should go wrong with the installation.
    Good Luck!

  • How do I find the serial number for Adobe Photoshop Elements 6?

    In January of 2012 I purchased an Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner.  Adobe PhotoShop Elements 6 came with it.  Last week I bought a new computer.  I installed PhotoShop Elements 6 on the new computer.  Now PhotoShop Elements 6 asks me for a 24-digit serial number.  I cannot find it on the Adobe PhotoShop Elements 6 disk that came with the scanner.  I cannot find it in any of the documention I received from Epson with the scanner.  Where can I find the 24-digit serial number for PhotoShop Elements 6 so I can transfer PhotoShop Elements 6 from my old computer to the new one?

    Unfortunately, if you've never installed it, adobe has no record of your serial number. Serial numbers for bundled products are sold in great batches, and the buyer (Epson, in your case) has responsibility for them. You would need to get in touch with Epson.
    If you have installed and registered PSE 6, go to adobe.com and look on the right side of the page for My Adobe. By working through the links there you should be able to find the record of the serial number you registered.

  • Download Load Option for Adobe Photoshop Elements 11.0 Akamai or Alternate with MS 7

    Which download option do I use if I have 64 bit Micro Soft 7.0 for Adobe Photoshop Elements 11.0: Akamai or Alternate?

    Found this in Download support.
    This helps even more to explain the difference between the two and the WHY you would pick one over the other:
    Start the download by choosing one of the following:
    Click Download and follow the onscreen instructions.
    Click Akamai Download Manager and follow the onscreen instructions.
    If you prefer downloading directly in a browser, click Alternate Download Method. Then click the .7z and .exe files (Windows) or the .dmg file (Mac OS) to download the software to your computer.

  • Download replacement installer for Adobe Photoshop Elements 11

    How can I download the replacement installer for Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I need to reinstall it on a new PC. I do have my serial number.

    You put both the .7z and the .exe in the same folder. Run the .exe (double-click it) and it will automatically unzip the file and start the setup program for you.
    Cheers,
    Neale

    I bought at Media Market the CD for installing Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 but I have no disc drive. Is it possible to install and register it online?

    I was in the same boat as you, so I went to Best Buy and purchased the box (on sale, by the way). I then downloaded the trials separately for Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements from the Adobe product site.
    In the box you should have been given 2 discs (one for Photoshop Elements (PS) and one for Premiere Elements (PE)) and something called a "redemption code" on a square of colorful cardboard with instructions on how to get your serial keys for installation. The single redemption code is NOT the serial/product key you use to install your purchase. Once you follow the instructions on this card you will be shown two serial/product codes, one each for PE and PS. Write them down, print them, whatever, you will need them during installation.
    Now go to the downloaded trial file(s) and run the installer, either for PE first or PS, it makes no difference. During the installation you will be asked if you want to start a trial or use a serial/product code. Choose "I have a code". Enter the product key and you will be golden. Repeat for the other program.
    Hope this helps!

  • Specs for Running Premiere Elements 11

    I'm looking at purchasing a computer for running Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on 64-bit, but don't want to spend too much (nothing over $1,000). I wanted to know what specs for a computer I would need to look for (processor, clock speed, dual v. quad core, ram, etc.) in order to run the program fairly smoothly. I don't need professional-grade hardware (such as 16GB of RAM) but I do need something that will be able to handle some laid-back HD editing, keying, rendering, etc. without crashing (or taking a lifetime).
    Thanks.

    Well, a lot depends on what type of video you're going to be editing.
    But, assuming you're editing AVCHD, Flip, HDV or DV video, you'll be fine with at least a quad core i5 running at 2.8 ghz, 4-8 gig of RAM, a a basic ATI or nVidia graphics card and a 500 gig hard drive. Even better if you have two hard drives: One for your programs and the other for your video storage.
    I picked up a computer with these specs for about $650 -- plus the cost of two monitors.

  • Running Photoshop Elements from different boot volumes

    I posted this question on the Adobe message board without success. Hopefully, someone here knows the answer.
    I have my MacBook internal drive partitioned into 2 volumes, each with a different OS.
    I wish to run Photoshop Elements 6 while booted into an OS that is on a partition different from the partition that was used to install the PE application. Has anyone tried that/done that? Or, any suggestions on which library files need to be duplicated to make it work?

    I’m not sure what you mean by licensing issues. I do have a license for Photoshop Elements. The problem is that The PE application will not permit me to re-enter the license code when I launch it from a different volume such as virtually all other applications will do.
    That is what I mean by licensing issues. Mac App Store apps have their license inside the application bundle that is cryptographically signed. Such a system is much easier to live with than old-school registration systems such as what Adobe uses.
    The version of PE that I am using works just fine. It does everything that I wish to do with it and if it has any bugs, I haven’t seen any.
    I have that version of Photoshop Elements. I found it pretty flaky even on Mountain Lion. Some parts of it were discontinued almost immediately upon release. I know that its licensing is quite fragile. I once had an installer for another product that corrupted Photoshop. That wasn't really Photoshop's problem, but it is a fragile system. Here is a link to some tips for using Photoshop Elements on Mavericks: http://barbarabrundage.com/2013/10/28/photoshop-elements-and-os-x-mavericks/
    The purpose of my post is based upon my desire to run applications from different OS’s on different partitions without re-installing them. I don’t know about applications that I don’t have but all of those that I have tried that exist on my main partition will permit me to launch them from other volumes, that is, all except Adobe Photoshop.
    I don't think that is a wise idea. Modern versions of OS X really, really want applications to live inside of /Applications. The operating system heavily caches parts of applications and you could see strange results by running applications installed to any other location.
    With older application, especially those that require an administrator password to install (like Photoshop Elements), it simply isn't your decision to make. You can only decide to install it or to uninstall it (if you are lucky). How and under what terms it decides to run is out of your control.
    I’ll take a look at your suggestion regarding Pixelmator. If did does everything that I use PE for, without a significant learning curve, I just might say goodbye to Adobe. I assume that iPhoto can use Pixelmator as an external editor and recognize the modifications made by it.
    A new version of Pixelmator is due to be released soon: http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/01/23/pixelmator-31-gains-dual-gpu-16-bit-im age-support-with-apples-new-mac-pro-
    I bought Pixelmator a long time ago to try to get away from Adobe. I wasn't happy with the early versions. But they kept improving it and it kept getting rave reviews so I went ahead and tried it again after the Mac App Store version was released (i.e. I bought it twice) and I am quite happy with the latest version. I am also a big fan of iDraw. I can't even get past Adobe's recent icons. They are so bad! I'm not the only one that thinks so: http://blackpixel.com/blog/2012/02/adobe-icons-from-an-alternate-universe.html

    If you have lost your serial number then the first thing you should do is to check your DVD if it is attached on the sleeve of the DVD.  Also, if you registered your product withy Adobe then your account should have a record of your serial number.
    If neither of this apply then you can browse the Amazon website and look for a bargain on PSE12.  PSE12 runs better on new computers and you also get updates for new cameras.
    It looks like you have to buy a new product because serial numbers are not something you can get free of charge here.
    Good luck.

  • Lost (Uninstalled in a lean up at a a local computer store) Premium Photoshop Elements 10

    Lost (Uninstalled in a clean up at a local computer store) Premium Photoshop Elements 10 that came factory installed on my Inspiron 570; did not register it. Is there a way to get it back? I had to have my hard-drive wiped/restored after my motherboard got corrupted. Please help?

    The hard drive doesn't have a registry, but this is not the place to discuss the work done by your local computer shop.
    You'll need to contact your computer maker for a system recovery disk.  They'll probably charge you for it, but in your situation that's the only way you'll get the computer back to the way it was when you received it from the factory.

    You are going to have to contact Adobe on this one. We are other users.
    Sounds like it's not even an Apple question? Not sure.
    But the Adobe program changed, nothing changed in iTunes, right?

    My serial number for adobe photoshop elements 12 and premiere elements 12 does not work.  On adobe.com it shows that the serial number I received is associated with adobe photoshop elements 9 and premiere elements 9.  I have purchased those products in the past, but just recently upgraded to elements 12.  I can use the the photoshop organizer, but can't open the photoshop editor.
