How do I import pictures on PSE 8 for Mac? How to use bridge?

Hi
I have downloaded PSE 8 for Mac and I am quite disoriented. I used to use PSE for Windows and I am lost. How do I import the pics that are on my imac?
I read somewhere on the net that I should use the bridge module but I cannot find how to use it. Could you explain step by step? Please help!
Thanks a lot

You don't exactly "import" photos to the mac version, because it doesn't store them or keep records of them. Download the photos to your computer however you want (I wouldn't use the adobe downloader for mac unless you have a specific reason to do so), then you can either open them from finder or point bridge to the folder they're in.
If you use iphoto, you should PSE as your external editor and send your photos from there.
Bridge is just a browser. It doesn't care what you do to your photos when not using it, so you don't see it throwing up its hands and shrieking that it can't find them the way organizer does if you move photos in explorer.

How to print a picture package in PSE 13 for mac?

I can not print a contact sheet or a picture package in PSE 13 for mac. How do I enable this function?

I believe you need to be in the Expert mode in the pse 13 editor and then they are listed under the File menu.

PSE 6 for Mac, how to install the new layer mask tool

I just bought the new PSE 6 for Mac, whew what a change in the color of workspace.
My classmates and I are wondering how to install the free layer mask tool that Sue Chastain has on her About site.
Or perhaps first, has anyone used it and do you like it?
Do you put it here?

Havent been to this great forum for a while, been busy, I miss you all, and shall try to visit more often.
I remember when I was a beginner at this, I learned so much here and you all were amazing help!
Thanks,
Jane

Hi Barbara,
Its this one,
http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pselements/p/layermasks.htm
So I assumed afterwards that it wasn't for Mac. So I went ahead and installed the older action for my PSE 4.
I was hoping it was platform agnostic, but when I looked at this, the difference between the 2 versions,
http://www.jcarter.net/mac-stuff/previewfolder-missing.jpg
Not knowing where the Previews folder was, threw me overboard.
And I didn't read all the way down Sue's page, as my old brain got ahead of my eyes.
So I really dont know what to do next with this, some of my classmates are wondering the same thing.
Thank you,
Jane

Has the licensing for PSE 8 for Mac stopped working? Is it fixable? How?

Has the licensing for PSE 8 for Mac stopped working? Is it fixable? How?

Are you sure you're in the right library? You have three library folders on your mac: system>library (Never touch that), your username>library and a library at the top level of your hard drive. You want the last one. In recent versions of OS X it's not hidden, but it's hard to get to it. The easiest way is to into the finder preferences>Sidebar and turn on Show Hard disks. Then the name of your hard drive will appear in the list on the left side of any finder window. Click it and the library you want will be in the top level of results.

Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for mac will not recognize the file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for MAC will not recognize the Bookmark back up file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup. 
You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties. 
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File" 
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links. 
A JSON backup starts with: <nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki> 
An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>

Opening animated gif in PSE 8 for Mac

I am switching from PSE for PC to PSE 8 for Mac.
I have always been able to open animated gif as layers and work with them, then resave as an updated animated gif.
WIth PSE 8 for Mac, I get a pop up that the file is animated and can only see the top frame. Any ideas on how to open up all of the frames in layers?

Do I need to enable this process for my Mac? Maybe I'm missing a plug-in or update?
I have been opening these files from others, tweeking and resaving for almost 2 years in PSE. It definitely will not shuffle the individual panels on an animated gif into the layers box.
My tweeking usually involves adjusting frame speed. Is that what you mean by 'frame rate'?
Thank you for your help.

PSE 8 (for Mac) refuses to launch - with message

Just tried to launch PSE 8 (for Mac), it didn't launch, but produced the message: "Could not open scratch file because disk is not available."
(tried this four times with the same result each time)
Conclusion: because the most recent backup to RAID filled that disk, PSE 8 cannot access the scratch disk on the RAID backup disk.
(This, even though I removed over 80 GB of old video files from the archive.)
I purchased PSE 8 11/28/2009 - can I use an app removal utility to remove this installed version and re-download another installer? It seems the most direct approach but first I have to ensure I can download a "replacement" and find out the original serial number to activate that replacement.
The original directions from Adobe indicate that all I have to do is access my order history and the serial number will be on the order form. I'm not seeing any clearly identified serial number on that order.
So my question are;
1. Should I first remove the original PSE 8 - or just the plists?
2. how to find the original serial number?
I do know already: once I have PSE 8 replacement installation running, I must set a scratch disk location on another (roomier) drive. this is not a problem: I have two 1 TB drives installed in my Mac Pro in addition to the two 500 GB drives which make up the (old) RAID.
Mac Pro 1,1 (2.66 Ghz Quad Core Xeon), OS 10.5.8

Good call but it didn't work: tried deleting those plists twice. Still get "disk not available" message w/ immediate PSE quit.
Further: I ran Diskwarrior on my "home" drive, the cloned "home" drive AND the RAID backup.
This included Directory repair, File Check and Hardware Check on all three volumes.
Also repaired permissions on "home" drive and cloned drive.
I then repeated the attempt to launch PSE 8 on my "home" drive and the cloned "home" drive: same result. (failure)
Sidebar: While running Disk Utility to repair permissions, I happened to click on the "RAID" button and found that
one drive is listed as "Failed" and the other is listed as "Degraded."
Just in case that has anything to do with the PSE 8 failure to launch: I am now using Disk Utility to rebuild that RAID set. This takes 4 hours and will wipe it clean. I'll try in the morning once again to launch PSE 8 and get back with result.

? Camera raw 4 & pse 6 for mac

I have camera raw 4, it came with my pse 6 for mac. Every once in a while my computer tries to install an update, but it never works. I would like to have the latest version of camera raw, but can pse 6 handle it? If not, what is the highest version it can handle and how do I install it? I question, because the updated version isn't installing, so there must be a trick...
Please help if you can.
Thanks

Here are the mac updates for PSE:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Macintosh
I've forgotten, but I think you can do 5.6 for PSE 6/mac, although 5.5 is the last version listed. Follow the directions in the read me for where to put the plug-in, but if it says you can overwrite the existing plug-in, that's just wrong. You have to remove the older plug-in before putting the new one into the folder.

PSE 6 for Mac: Only have one shape in the Cookie Cutter tool

I just installed PSE 6 for Mac and am getting familiar with it. When I tried to use the Cookie Cutter tool, I have no choices (no black arrow next to the star in the toolbar) and it always is a 'heart' (cute, but was hoping for more choices). Any suggestions on why this is, and how to repair? Thanks in advance for any help...

Actually, I found the answer...disregard my question. Newbie error. Thanks for understanding!

PSE 6 for Mac Sharing Issue

I can't figure out how to send multiple photos using the Share tab in PSE 6 for Mac.
I select all from Edit and then click on the email attachments button under Share but only the first photo is converted and placed into a new email message.
Whats the trick for getting multiple jpg photos into one email?
Thanks.

I guess I'll report it to Adobe
Since it's been broken for just about seven years now, I think they know.
To make a combined file, create a new blank file big enough to hold all your images (it helps if you make sure everything has the same ppi setting before you start this), then copy/paste the individual images into the new master copy. Use save for web to save it as a jpg and pay close attention to how big it is: many people still have mailbox attachment limits of 5MB or less, total.

Convert Entourage .rge to .pst to import into MS Outlook 365 for Mac

How can I convert Entourage .rge to .pst to import into Microsoft Outlook 365 for Mac? I have an exported Entourage .rge file and can no longer access the program (on an old computer where the hard drive crashed), so I can't export as MBOX or anything like that. The only options for importing to Mac Outlook 365 are .pst, .olm or Outlook 2011. I've found a lot of places that have rge to pst converters, but they are all under the assumption that it's for going from Mac to Windows, so all the converters I've found are for Windows (download as .exe files). I'm on a new MacBook Pro with Yosemite 10.10.

Yes and no.
Outlook for Windows (or Mac) can save individual emails as .msg format, Apple Mail cannot import these but there is a utility that can convert them to the .eml format supported by Apple Mail.
See http://45rpmsoftware.com/mailraider.php
Outlook for Windows can also export entire folders of emails as PST files, again Apple Mail cannot import these but there are utilities which can convert PST files to the mbox format supported by Apple Mail.

PSE 8 for Mac stuck on "preparing to install"

Hi all,
Just received the disk of PSE 8 for Mac as a present. I try to install and it gets stuck on "preparing to install."
Equipment: MacBook Pro Running 10.6.2
Have Lightroom 2, Lightrroom 3 Beta, Acrobat 8 Pro, Flash Player and Community Help Client
Previously i bought and downloaded PSE 8 but I had the same issue. I 'returned it" and got my money back.
Ideas please?
Best,
Scott

HI Scott,
Copying the text from your post on the other thread which really helped in understanding this issue:
Scott says:
"I double click the disk and use the setup.app to install.
It checks the sys profile. I then put in my serial number, etc.
Then it just stays on “Preparing to install”. (How long is it meant to do this? Maybe I am not waiting long enough?)
I click the install button. It goes grey and then back to white.
Eventually I lose patience and quit out."
Your issue is definately different than the one which could have been resolved by the Tech Doc link which I sent you earlier, actually there are two time the string "Preparing to install.." is shown during the installer workflow, first during the initialization process before the Welcome Screen is shown to the user and second for 1-2 seconds between the transition of user clicking on Install button and Progress Bar being shown to the user. Since, in your case, installer is stucking at Progress bar, the Preparing to Install string is visible evidently to you. A screenshot would have been really helpful in understanding this issue. My bad I should have asked for it...
Regarding the current situation, the workaround here with which Barbara tried to help you, will not work, because your's is very specific and rare issue which we have seen reported only once before on the forum, so I am sure we will get it sorted out.Please follow the below steps:
1. Go inside the <Macintosh HD>\Applications\Utilities\Adobe Installers\ folder.
2. If there are any uninstall alias of Adobe sub components like ESTK, Extension Manager, Bridge, Adobe Updater, etc, then please invoke that installer and uninstall all those sub components.
3. Now try to install PSE 8 again.
4. If it still doesnt work, then please run the CS4 clean up script for Mac, and select CS4 from the drop down and let me know what all applications it is listing in it as available for cleaning/deleting.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406241.html#CS4CleanMac
Please keep me informed, if anything doesnt work out then eventually we will setup a time to meet over the internet and I will get this issue resolved.
Regards,
Ankush

Bridge in pse 8 / pse 9 for Mac

Hi. I use pse 8 for Mac and is fund of Bridge. Can anyone tell me if pse 9 includes Bridge in (pretty much) the same version.
Or to put it another way: Would I benefit of an upgrade?

Yes, there's no bridge in PSE 9, but you can keep on using Bridge CS4 if you don't want to use organizer. The only problem is that you can't update the raw converter in Bridge anymore, so you won't see thumbnails for newer camera models:

Printing with PSE 8 for Mac

Hi,
hope some of you may give me some help.
Have tried to print with PSE 8 for Mac, but in the printing options there is none where i can choose the type of paper (ie: glossy, premium glossy....).
My printer is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400.
It works fine with iPhoto, here i can choose paper type. And prints come out fine.
Thanks for any advice,
dangerly

My printer is a Canon so not entirely sure if this helps but when I print from PSE 8 I do not get to choose the media type until I have clicked on the print button in the PSE dialog box. I am then presented with the dialog box for my printer where I can set the media type amongs other attributes.
It is normal for the media type to be the job of the printer driver so perhaps it is the same for your printer.

Raw images do not show up in Bridge CS4 for PSE 8 for Mac

I just downloaded PSE 8 for Mac and my raw files no longer show as thumbnails. I can open them in Elements, but the image is blank in Bridge. These same images were fine in CS3 (PSE 6 for Mac). I have downloaded and installed the new Camera Raw 5.6 plug-in but that didn't work. Any suggestions? Thank you!

You have to update bridge separately from PSE, and bridge ships with a pretty old version of ACR. Just go to Help>Updates in bridge and it will update itself for you.

How do I import pictures on PSE 8 for Mac? How to use bridge?
