Elements 6 for Mac - System Requirements

I currently have a Power PC Mac (OSX 10.4.11) on which I run Elements 4 for Mac.
I have on order an Intel Core 2 Duo Mac which will have OSX 10.5.5.
Elements 4 will not run on the Intel Core 2 Duo Mac because it appears to be for Power PC Macs only.
The System Requirements for Elements 6 appears to indicate that it will only run on OS 10.4.8 through 10.5.2.
Unless I am missing something fundamental it appears that there is no version of Elements which I will be able to run on my new Mac computer.It seems strange that the latest incarnation of Elements for Mac will not run on the latest operating system.
Am I understanding the position correctly ?

I have installed PSE 6 on my mac with 10.5.6. I installed on the admin account and it works fine on that account, however, it does not work completely on the primary account - the effects, themes, layouts, etc. do not appear on the left hand side, just the boxes for them. Any ideas? I did uninstall and reinstall on the primary account, still no success.
Thanks. S. Dobe

Is Elements 6 for Mac compatible with new Lion operating system?

I'm planning to buy a new iMac with OS X Lion. Will the Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac program that I am currently using be compatible with the Lion operating system?

Adobe's official response about any software and any major operating system update is that since the software wasn't tested on the new OS, they don't consider it compatible. Just as they never update the system requirements to show updated versions of the compatible OS. They just don't go there at all. If you called them they would say no, but not based on experience or experiment, merely on policy.
I don't think there's anything especially complicated--based on what I hear in real life, people who don't have Open in Rosetta turned on when they upgrade to lion are mostly okay, while there's no way to make it go if you did have it set for Rosetta. I would guess a new install would be fine, but I haven't had a chance to try it out myself yet. Scanning and such are likely to have problems, and of course older ppc plug-ins won't work anymore.

Adobe PhotoShop Elements 6 for Mac

I've downloaded, without difficulty, the Adobe PhotoShop Elements 6 for Mac 30 day trial onto my Pismo running OS 10.4.8 with 1GB of RAM. As soon as I try to open a photo the application crashes. I know the G3 processor (500 MHz) will be slow but it shouldn't be impossible for it to cope. Adobe's site says that G4 or higher is required. Perhaps I should look at earlier versions of the application. Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated

Hi, Tim. As you've noted, your Pismo doesn't meet the minimum System Requirements for PSE6:
*PowerPC® G4 or G5 or multicore Intel® processor (your Pismo has a G3)*
- Mac OS X v10.4.8 through 10.5.2
- 512MB of RAM (1GB recommended)
*64MB of video RAM (your Pismo has 8MB)*
- 1GB of available hard-disk space (additional free space required during installation)
- 1,024x768 monitor resolution with 16-bit video card
- DVD-ROM drive
- QuickTime 7 software required for multimedia features
- Internet connection required for Internet-based services
(boldface added)
Yes, if I were you I'd try to buy an earlier version of PSE.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac OS X don't install

Uninstalling Trial Version of Elements 9 for Mac

Hi. I know that Elements 9 for Mac just came out yesterday, but I decided to download the trial. I have a paid version of Elements 8 and I'm probably not going to upgrade soon but I wanted to check out Elements 9's new spot healing brush. Anyway, the download of the trial is over 1GB and I think the extracted files, after downloading, are even more. I'm probably going to want to get rid of Elements 9 from my hard drive after I play around with it but I'm not sure how to get rid of all of its files. Is there someone from Adobe who reads these forums who can give me instructions on which files to delete? Or should I be asking this question directly to customer support instead of posting here in the forums? Thanks

I'm not from adobe, but there's an uninstaller in the PSE 9 folder in applications that should take care of the big stuff. If you like to be thorough, you can go check in Library>application support (note that this is the library at the top level of your hard drive, not System>library or your username>library) for some additional small files.

Photoshop Elements 13 for Mac

I have an old version of Photoshop Elements (8) for Mac. I have installed this version 8 on a iMac and a Macbook.
Can I install version 13 (the 1 license version) also on my iMac and Macbook and use it alternate?

Barbara, thanks for your reaction, but I think I was not clear enough. I would like to install the 1 license version on my iMac AND on my MacBook, but use only 1 of this systems at the time. In the meantime I've found out that according to the license agreement this should be possible. Can you confirm this? Or do I need a multiple license version?

Thinking of purchasing Illustrator 10 - what are the Mac system requirements

Thinking of purchasing Illustrator 10 - what are the Mac system requirements. I have a G4 10.4 and a MacBook Pro OSX 10.9 Maverick!

Did you actually mean version 10, as in Illustrator 10 from 2001?
If so:
• Your G4 with OS X 10.4 (2005-2007) would probably run it, (using Rosetta if needed / PPC based).
• OS X 10.9 will definitely not allow install or run it.
Illustrator 10: System Requirements
• Macintosh: Power PC Processor G3, G4, or G4 dual; Mac OS software 9.1, 9.2 or Mac OS X 10.1; 128 MB Ram; 180 MB available disk space; For Postscript printing, printers capable of Adobe PS levels2 or 3.
• Windows: Intel Pentium II and above; Windows 98 and above; 128 MB Ram; 180 MB available disk space; For Postscript printing, printers capable of Adobe PS levels2 or 3.

Ps Element 10 for Mac

How do I download Elements 10 for Mac?

if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm ltml
and activate with your serial.
if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps. the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). so, your browser must also accept cookies to enable these downloads.

Elements 8 for Mac won't launch

I just installed this program and it won't launch when double click the icon. This is a brand new laptop so the sys are current. Any ideas?

Barbara,
Thanks for the help, but I'm embarrassed to say that my problem was the fact I was double clicking on the icon instead of single clicking. I've only had this machine a couple weeks and old habits are hard to break.

Then I would do this. Uninstall it (there's a link to the uninstaller in the PSE 8 application folder), and then create a new admin user (system preferences>accounts), log into that user and run the install from there. Be sure to repair permissions afterwards. If all is well in the new account you can log back into your existing account and delete the new one.

Loading .gif animations into Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac

For years I used Photoshop Elements 2 for Windows to make .gif animations with great success.
Then I switched to a Mac and bought Elements 8 for Mac. Now, I am finding out that I can not load any
of the animations I made using Elements 2 into 8. (And yet I can load animations I made using 8 into 2.)
In fact, I can not load any .gif animations into 8, other than if I make one and save it
as .psd. 8 allows me to make them, but not load them as .gifs.
My question: Is there an easy way to load .gif animations into PS Elements 8 so a
person can work on the individual frames? Am I going to have to convert any .gif animation I
want to import into 8 first into .psd? All I seem to get when I try to load a .gif is the message
"This is an animated gif. You can only view one frame." I have searched manuals and the
Net looking for a specific method of using PSE8 to load gif animations intact (not just one frame).
Is it possible? Thanks. (I also have noticed that Elements 8 will not allow me to change the frame
speed -- it is unchangeable at .2)

Dear Ms. Brundage -
I followed the directions detailed in your blog entitled "Moving a Catalog from Windows to Mac" as well as your description of the process on page 58 of your book "Photoshop Elements 9 - the missing manual."
I installed PE9 for Windows and converted my catalog. I then backed up that catalog to an external hard drive. I then connected the hard drive to my MAC on which I also installed Photoshop Elements 9 for MAC. I opened the Organizer and tried to restore that converted catalog. However, for each file in the converted catalog, a dialog box opened that said "Could not restore file: /Volumes/Name of External Hard Drive/Filename.JPG."
I then made a second backup of the converted catalog using Photoshop Elements 9 for Windows and then tried to restore that catalog again on the MAC using Photoshop Elements 9 for MAC, again to no avail.
Do you have any idea what the problem may be?
Thanks again.

Save for Web does not open dialog box in PS Elements 8 for Mac

After opening an image and selecting Save for Web, the Save for Web dialog box fails to appear. I've seen similar reports for PS Elements 6 for Mac, but did not find the same files in those directories. Running iMac with OS 10.6.

There are many things that only work in an admin account, but if you're willing to take the trouble, you can change the permissions to allow them to work in a standard account. See:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/362899
Note that it's pretty important to run Save for Web one time in the admin account after changing the permissions or it still won't work in the standard account.

File menu bug in Elements 8 for Mac

I recently purchased Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac. While the software overall works very well, I noticed a bug which has now started hampering my work. Out of the blue, 'Open', 'Open New Blank File' and 'Browse with Bridge' in the file menu become grey (disabled) and shotrcuts for opening files (Command-O and Command-N) or clicking on the open new file icon yield no result. Preferences menu cannot be accessed as well. As per the software license, I installed Elements on an iMac running OS 10.5.8 and on my MacBook running OS 10.4.11 I am having this problem on both :-( The menus do appear but intermittently. Any help to fix this bug would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I got it!!!!!
It's a clipboard related problem! Whenever I copy an image (a vector image or graphic specifically) from any application, New 'Image from Clipboard' option (in the file menu) gets enabled in Elements 8 and due to it, all menus relating to opening a new file get disabled including, strangely, preferences. Somehow Elements assumes that the new file/image will be the same as the one in the clipboard. The moment I copy any text in any application (so that the clipboard does not have any graphic in it), the disabled Elements menus get enabled! It seems Elements 8 does not support vector graphics perhaps that's why..

Where can I get a copy of elements 8 for mac

Suddenly, when I try to open Elements 8 for Mac I get the message, "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I tried repairing it using Support's nine suggested solution. None worked.
I no longer have my original DMG file I downloaded (don't ask me why). I do have the serial number in my Adobe account so I can install and run another copy. But, I need a copy. Where can I get one without paying a second time for it?
I'm happy with PSE 8 and feel no pressing need to upgrade. I just want back what I had before this sudden development.
Thanks.
Terry

I really appreciate the link. Unfortunately, it says a copy is no longer available for Mac OSX. Do you know if I can still get one somewhere else from Adobe? It's their product that failed me. I'm going to switch to Acorn, a nice low-priced full featured PSE alternative. I already use Lightroom for my photography but need graphic design capabilities for my website, business cards, etc.
Thanks.
Terry

Can you do Green Screen/Blue Screen/Chroma Key on Adobe Premiere Elements 12 for mac?

Can you do Green Screen/Blue Screen/Chroma Key on Adobe Premiere Elements 12 for mac? If not, what are the alternatives?

JimbobT
ChromaKey, GreenScreen Key, and BlueScreen Key are not included in Premiere Elements Mac.
Some suggest Videomerge as the alternative. I do not. But Videomerge is not THE alternative.
Instead, I prefer the Difference Matte as a substitute for the 3 absent keying effects. Please check out my blog post on that which includes
the how to.
http://atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe11-difference-matte-as-substitute-for.html
The suggestion has met with good results according to the feedback that I have gotten to this.
I am strictly a Premiere Elements Windows user who does not prefer Videomerge even in Windows.
Please review, consider, and let us know the outcome.
Thanks.
