Does Photoshop Elements 6 (or 7)  use both processors dual processor on a Power Mac G4?

Please forgive my ignorance, I'm a newbie to the Mac world. My sister is giving me a Quicksilver G4, 733 Mhz w/256 Mb RAM. I want to use it for my photo library, 9000+ jpgs, cr2s (Canon raw format) which I have on PE 4 Windows XP now. I think I want to use Photoshop Elements 6, or 7 on the G4. So....I plan to upgrade Ram to 2Gb, and possibly put in one of those 1.8 Ghz DUAL processors, and upgrade OS as appropriate. Am I wasting my $$ buying a dual processor or would it be worth the $699 their asking for it? Any sage advice would be greatly appreciated. Thx.

It's not clear what you mean to do.. If you mean you think you can put an intel processor into a G4, yes, you are totally wasting your money. If you mean you want to try to give the G4 an extra G4 processor, you are still wasting your money where PSE is concerned.
PSE 6 (there is no PSE 7 for mac) will not run well on a G4. It's not really happy on a G5 even. I'd suggest saving your money towards a more up to date machine, or just getting a mac mini, which, while pretty low end, will still have far better performance than you can coax from the G4.

  • Does photoshop for phones make use of my quad processor?

    I have an incredibly fast Galaxy Note II with a quad core processor.  Even with this being the case, It seems that most filters or processes I apply to my images take a LONG time.  I was just wondering if the app actually took advantage of my multiple cores?

    Yes it does. However filter and effects are depending on the power of the GPU!

  • Does Photoshop Elements 11 organize pix by categories like the old Album Starter Edition 3.0?

    I'm aware that Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 is not supported by Adobe anymore.  I have thousands of photos organized on it using its "Category" function.  Does Photoshop Elements 11 have a similar function?  (I'm in the midst of also switching to a new computer and my old one can't load the info on the PS 11 program available on this site.)  I'm extremely concerned I not lose the ability to retrieve my pix by the categories I've already assigned them, when I switch to PS 11 on my new computer.

  • So does Photoshop elements 13 require Win 7 or will it work with XP64 bit

    So does Photoshop Elements 13 require Win 7 or will it work with XP64 bit

    I looked at hamrick.com again and it seems to skip over the LS4500AF scanner. I queried him a few years ago and he indicated that the LS4500AF was an odd scanner needing a odd driver. It is SCSI also which in itself is another step. I would pay someone to rewrite the 32 bit driver but it would be more cost effective to keep a XP32 bit machine for the LS4500AF which I will probably do. I have been using XP64 bit for 10+ years and am really keen on it but with PSE 13 going to Win7 I will have to also.
    It takes me 3 or more months to get back to get my quality back up each time I change any hardware or software like an OS,  editor or computer. Fortunately my computer is good so I will not have to change it. And Summer is coming and that is my slow season time so aside from the several $s I should be fine come Fall.

  • Does photoshop elements enable save for web for a batch of photos?

    does photoshop elements enable save for web or ready for web for a batch of photos ?

    Hi Patonabike,
    You can batch save images as jpeg, png, tiff etc. using Process Multiple Files. This feature will even allow you to batch resize them (as long as they are the same orientation and aspect ratio). However, the resulting images may be larger than what you would get if you individually did 'Save for Web' because 'Save for Web' removes the photo's exif data (and Process Multiple Files won't).
    With that said, it depends how you are editing your images and the results you are looking for, if you just want to rescale them or batch edit them - this is one way.
    Hope it helps!

  • Can I buy Photoshop Elements 13 and use it on my home computer and my Surface Pro 3?

    Can I buy Photoshop Elements 13 and use it on my home computer and my Surface Pro 3?
    Also why is there no customer service phone number associated with Adobe Photoshop? It makes me hesitant to purchase from a company that refuses to offer support. I guess I'm asking a question on a forum and the company directed me to.??

    Yes, you're permitted to activate the software on a maximum of two computers at the same time.

  • Why does Photoshop Elements 11 open a file in a lower resolution than I saved it in?

    Why does Photoshop Elements 11 open files in a lower resolution than I saved them?

    The only meaningful figures for 'resolution' with a digital image are the pixel dimensions. They are not changed by saving.
    The ppi (pixel per inch) information is not a property of the image, just like the dimensions of your prints : it's your choice when you want do display or print your images. The detail level of your image is dependent on the pixel size.

  • Does photoshop elements 13 have the pen tool and where is it?

    Does Photoshop Elements 13 have the pen tool and if so where is it?

    I don't understand what you mean about the white line, but many tools in PSE are actually groups of tools. The blur tool shares a slot with the sharpen tool and the Smudge tool. Click hold on the one that's visible for a popout menu, or keep tapping the R key till the blur tool comes into view.
