Downgrade Photoshop elements 10 to Photoshop elements 9

I upgraded to Photoshop elements 10. It runs very slow on my older windows xp machine. I would like to remove Photoshop elements 10 and reinstall Photoshop elements 9. I do not want to use my photos or tags. Do I have to downgrade the catalogue and how?

You can't downgrade a catalog to a previous version.  If you used PSE9, and upgraded your catalog to version 10, you've still got your old catalog on your machine, but that old catalog will not have anything done by PSE10.

  • What do i do with a very slow Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements on a PC?

    I seem to be getting mixed opinions as to why my Adobe software gets so slow, despite efforts to avoid that, but my computer seems to be working just fine, it is only when in Adobe that the problems arise, like freezing, taking longer and longer periods of time to open the screen to edit a photo, or to compare two photos side by side.  Any process seems to take such a long time, and the freezing can last for several minutes, and then continue on.    I have had a computer person come to my house and examine my computer and though his knowledge of Photoshop is limited, he feels that it is NOT the computer but something with Adobe Photoshop.  I would tend to agree with him.   
    Several theories have been explained to me, such as Elements and Premiere Elements are a low end of the scale of Photoshop programs, so it is just not going to be able to process high definition large photos well and quickly.  Stating comments like i can only use 2 GB of my memory even though i have 8 GB, so unless i can use 64 bit this is what i have to deal with, and it is just a way for Photoshop to say you need to upgrade to the fancier programs.  I do not need fancier programs.  I am working hard to master these, and have accomplished 4 great blu rays in high definition thanks to recommendations from the Forum here, especially Steve with the help of his books. 
    Others say i need a solid state hard drive to solve the problem.  Others say the only way i will ever solve the problem is to switch to a MAC.  Others state is a mal-ware problem, but i have never had my hard drive so clean and uncluttered.  I supposedly have as good of PC as i could have as far as QUAD-core, 8GB memory, presently a 1 TB hard drive less than 1/2 full.   All suggestions involve big outlays of money, with no guarantee that things will be any better.  I have tried to contact different computer companies and computer 'nerds', and these are some of the suggestions, but no one really has a lot of knowledge of the Photoshop software. 
    I am thinking of adding an additional internal hard drive, but not sure that is going to help either.  Could i put all my Photoshop of the second hard drive, and might that speed things up? 
    Adobe is rather worthless in trying to get help from them.  I have spent hours on the phone waiting and then talking to someone who says they understand English but they do NOT understand the question i am asking, which becomes very frustrating with repeat phone calls.  I gave up yesterday trying to do that challenging experience yesterday after i had spent 3 times the amount of time they said i would need to wait to get a reply, and i was at work, and my free time had come to an end.  So i am hoping you guys can give me some clues of the best thing to do.
    Is it true that Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements are just such a lower end program that trying to do things in high definition, with 2000x1500 photos, making them into a blu ray disc is a major challenge with a PC?  I wish i had a greater computer knowledge, but i have struggled to achieve my goal, but the speed of it all gets very frustrating, though it is possible. 
    Another question asked which i don't think exists, is whether there is a program that could clean up Photoshop, or are there some clues that could accomplish that and thereby speed things up.
    Would appreciate any suggestions anyone has.  I am in the middle of another project so now is probably not the best time to consider any major changes.  But any comments would be appreciated.

      Premiere Elements 10 is now 64 bit, but not PSE10.
    Take a look at your scratch disk set-up and if you have a spare volume, allocate that first before the C drive. Elements use scratch disks when it gets low on RAM.

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 11 & Photoshop Elements 11 Errors, Downloading Problems, Uninstalling probs

    On May 8, 2013 I ordered Adobe Premiere Elements 11 & Photoshop Elements 11. To this day they do not work properly, did not download properly, nor can I get them uninstalled properly to reinstall properly. I have not been able to contact Adobe all these months, & now they tell me I have to pay $39.00 more just to speak to them. I refuse to give them anymore money than I have already gave them! Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue? I currently  have Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 & Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0. I was upgrading. 

    Thank you so much for replying. But I sort of solved the problem, yet I didn't solve the problem. I am running Windows 7 on my computer. When I purchased Elements & Premiere 11, I purchased a 1 time download from Adobe. Upgrading from 7.0. When I went to download it, then install it, it told me that through an error message, that it was not downloaded or installed correctly, so I would have to uninstall the whole thing & start from scratch, basically. So, I went into the control panel to delete the program. Hit uninstall, & it told me after it was done, that everything was not uninstalled & had uninstalled incorrectly. Now it was missing from the Control Panel, & I could not find the remains anywhere, I thought I would try to redownload it again. So, going through the process, it would let me download it, but it would not install due to the remains of the previous installation. I tried everything. And when I tried to go straight to Adobe, it was a no go. I put it on the back burner for months & used my 7.0 occassionally. Today I decided I wanted it fixed. I went to Adobe...my licenses are still in my account. But no matter what I did, it would not accept my old licenses. With the help of a previous poster, maybe on a different thread, I was able to uninstall the old program remnants. But I could still not download 11. I just decided to cut my loses, & purchased 12. I bought the trials, downloaded them, they worked great, & I purchased them. So, all's well that ends well. Of course, I am $170-some dollars in the hole, but whatever it takes. Again thank you for your reply to my delima.

  • How do I install Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements on a new hard drive?

    My hard drive had to be replaced and Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements were not de-activated and unistalled before the hard drive was replaced. I have my original downloaded install programs and serial numbers. Thank You.

    Simply install the programs. Contact support if you need to reset activation count. No magic involved beyond that.

    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.

  • Need Help to re-download my Photoshop Elements 12+Premiere Elements 12 to a new laptop Win-8 64-bit

    When I purchased the special deal of Photoshop Elements 12+Premiere Elements 12, I owned a Windows Vista (32-bit) laptop. When I downloaded my purchase, all went smoothly, no problems w/Photoshop when I used the mouse's wheel-scroll feature, it helped me zoom in to specifically pinpoint areas in pictures t/b fixed, etc.
    I now have a NEW laptop ... Windows 8 (64-bit). I re-downloaded my Photoshop Elements 12+Premiere Elements 12 onto my new one. Options to download the Premiere Elements showed I should use the "bottom" option to download for Win-8/64-bit - did that w/no problem. There were NO OPTIONS showing that the Photoshop Elements 12 had to ALSO be using a specific way to be downloaded? Consequently, I think (?), the problem that I'm having in using the mouse's wheel-scrolling feature may have been affected by using the "normal" format to download???
    So here's my question:  Because I bought this combined deal, should I have ALSO used the bottom option showing installation for 64-bit Premiere Elements 12??? I WOULD APPRECIATE A TIMELY RESPONSE - NEED HELP ON GETTING MY PHOTOSHOP WORKING PROPERLY, NOW!
    Thank you in advance for any help/suggestions that can resolve my frustrating experience on this!

    Oops!!!! I accidentally found my answer within my Photoshop Elements 12 "Preferences" folder! Only one part of my question remains --- what about how to download it as a 64-bit option, or does it matter at all?
    Sorry to have panicked about this, but when I started using it, the cursor movements seemed unstable so I thought it was because of downloading for a 32-bit instead of my current OS-64bit!

  • Can i install Adobe premiere elements and photoshop elements separately in 2 different computers?

    We are planning to purchase a bundle Adobe Photoshop Elements and Priemiere Elements 11 but we need to separate the installation of this
    2 softwares in to 2 different computers, Can we do an installation separately using the same lisence?
    An urgent answer to this would be a great help!
    Thank you!

    Yes. They will have separate serial numbers.

    It is not clear if your Premiere Elements 10 was a downloaded purchase from Adobe or from an authorized reseller.
    However, do you have a purchased serial number for the product?
    If you have the purchased serial number, you can download Premiere Elements 10 tryout files from the following web site
    and insert your purchased serial number in them during installation to make them your own.
    Photoshop Elements 10 Direct Download Links: Free Trials, Premiere | ProDesignTools
    It is important to read and carry out carefully that web site's "Note: Very Important Instructions" in order to avoid an Access Denied message.
    Just in case message....
    But there could be a complication with regard to files from any source.
    Adobe allows you to have the purchased activated serial number on no more than 2 of your computers.
    If your failed computer has Premiere Elements trapped on it representing 1 purchased serial number, you will be able to installed
    the purchased serial number on only one more computer. If you have the purchased activated serial number trapped on 2 failed
    computers, then you will not be able to use that purchased serial number on another computer until you deactivate at least one
    on one of the other two computers. In this case, it is only Adobe who might be able to help you. None of this may apply to you. I mention
    it as a just in case caution.
    Please let us know if you have any questions or need clarification.
    Thank you.

    Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
    Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

    You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
    Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
    Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

  • Adobe Photoshop 11 with Premire Elements.

    I purchased this program the first weekend in August and have worked on learning it and creating a slide show of our recent trip to Africa almost every day -- a whole month.  In the preview it is perfect but when it shows on the TV it is blurry. Even when I preview in full screen on my PC it is a tad blurry and the letters are a little choppy.  I have read some other comments and I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.  I created the slide show in the Organizer, choose output and the DVD NTSC 720x480 setting, I rendered it, and then burned the DVD.  I have made six DVD trying different setting and nothing is working.  I had an old program that I created slideshows with and had success on all my DVD's but decided to buy Adobe Photoshop 11 with Premire Elements because I wanted to have more options with my photos.  I have spent so much time on this project and I am so disappointed with my final product that I could cry!  The slideshow only runs 45 minutes so it is under the 60 minute maximum. It shouldn't be this hard -- HELP!!

    Thanks for the follow up. Sorry that your news was not better.
    I do not work for Adobe nor am I affiliated with it in anyway. So, what I am about to say is addressed solely in your interests.
    If you have confidence in Pinnacle Studio and you can get the slideshow video you want, then go with that. Some even suggest the use of Windows Live Movie Maker and the Windows DVD Maker for creation of the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc.
    But, if you think that you want to give this one more try, I will work with you (step by step, all the steps) through this thread to try to get you a good quality Premiere Elements video representing your slideshow. Just let me know:
    a. number of photos, original pixel dimensions
    b. any videos going into this slideshow, what format
    c. is this going to be DVD-VIDEO standard 4:3 on DVD disc or DVD-VIDEO widescreen on DVD disc?
    d. are you applying pans and zooms
    e. what transitions are you using
    f. what effects are you using
    As reference point, what is the basic problem...playback quality of the DVD-VIDEO produced? Where are you playing it..on computer of TV DVD-Player or other.
    I will go as basic or technical as you want so that we get the job done. If I write something and you think "What in the world is that person talking about?", do not hesitate to communicate that to me. It will not hurt my feelings. I will rewrite what you do not understand. But in sync follow up on both sides is important.
    Whatever your decision, we wish you success.
    Thanks.

  • Can no longer run Photoshop Elements 12, Premier Elements 12 of Photoshop CC on iMac

    I have a mid-2011 iMac i7 quad processor 27" iMac and after Yosemite can no longer use Photoshop Elements 12, Premier Elements 12 of Photoshop CC on my iMac. I keep getting the following msg even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times.

    PSE 12 requires you to have an Internet Connection at least once when you are installing it so that you can register the product and activate it.  After this process is complete, you don't need Internet connection unless you want to update it on a periodic basis (say once every 6 weeks).  This is only for the updates; So if you are not bothered with updates then you don't need Internet Connection.
    Hope this answers your question.
