How to transfer my Photoshop Elements from a PC to a Mac

I have a licensed copy of Photoshop that I would like to move from my current Windows PC to my new Mac. I know that it is a multi platform version, but I'm not sure what I need to do on the PC prior to moving to the Mac. I've tried unsuccessfully to find out via online chat. Is it just a matter of deactivating on my PC and then loading onto the Mac or are there other steps that need to be taken?
Thanks.

hatstead - as I read through your link, it appears to be related to the organizer catalog; I use Lightroom for organization. My question was only to do with the program itself. I understand that I can run a total of two activations, I just wasn't sure if I needed to do anything on my old computer before I installed Elements on my new Mac.

  • I do not know how to transfer my Photoshop elements from old Dell Vostro 1720 to new Lenovo T410.  please help

    I am askink for help in moving my photoshop elements 10 from Dell Vostro 1720 laptop to my newer Lenovo T410 lap

    You do not move Adobe applications, you install them, so get the installation files and install them like you originally did.

    You will also need your serial number to activate the new installation.  If you did not keep a record of it you might be able to find it in your Adobe account online if you registered the program.
    You are allowed to have two installations activated so if you wish to you can keep the software working on the old machine.  If you wish to remove it or disable it, you need to deactivate it (Help -> Deactivate).

  • How to completely delete Photoshop Elements from my computer??

    Hi
    I am trying to completely remove Photoshop Elements from my computer.   So far, I have failed in my attempts to do this.   The reason I'm doing this is b/c for some reason that I can't fathom, the folders in My Pictures -- the folders named by shot date -- contain random duplicates.When this happens, the file names folow the convention of DSC_0222 and DSC_0222-1. Exactly the same file size and metadata.  In some folders, every picture is duplicated. In other folders, only selected pitcures within the folder are duplicated.   I can't figure out how they got there -- e.g. it doesn't seem to bear any connection to the photos I've edited, which was one theory I had for a while.   Is Elements responsible? Or is this some sort of bug in the download process from the camera (I have a Nikon D40).  Anyway, I've given up on trying to sovle this problem and decided I would go back to the beginning and reload everything from my camera.   So, my real question here is about how to completely uninstall Elements.
    Here's what I did:    I uninstalled Photoshop Elements through the Add/remove programs utility.  I got no errors during the uninstall process.   Then I completely deleted the My Pictures directory (don't worry -- I have it backed up in multiple places!!).   So, at this point there are *no* pictures on my computer at all.    I reinstall Elements, open it up and -- you guessed it!!! -- the catalog is still there with all the thumbnails of the pictures that i deleted from my hard disk.   Of course, each thumbnail is flagged as "Missing File".
    So, how do I uninstall/reinstall Elements and get it to forget all memory of the previous catalog?   Why is it "remembering" it in this way when the pictures aren't even on the computer anymore?  Isn't this a bug???
    I've been working on this issue for much longer than I care to remember-- if anyone can tell me how to get myself truly back to ground-zero so I can start over I would be deeply grateful.   After upgrading to Elements 9 (from 7) to try to solve this problem I am close to just abandoning Elements entirely.....
    WHile we're at it, if anyone has any idea where the duplicates pictures are coming from and how I prevent that from happening, I'm' all ears!!!!
    Thanks!

    Hi
    Thanks so much for the response.   So, Help/System Info says that the catalog is here:
    Catalog Location: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\My Catalog\
    but no such file appaers to exist.  In fact, I can only get as far as All Users.   Then there is no directory under that called "Application Data".
    i'm still seeing the thumbnails when I got into Elements tho'....   :-(

  • How do I delete Photoshop Elements from my PC - EVERYTHING - so I can do a totally clean install

    I did not use adobe to backup and got a new hard drive (actually a SSD). Old hard drive is now F (was C).  Have worked with Adobe.  No success.  Catalogs are messed up because they use the unique identifier of the old hard drive.  I have given up trying to fix this and just want to start over so Elements doesn't establish a new catalog that is messed up just like the old catalogs.  Where is this information stored besides in the elements database.  I have, I think, deleted all versions on my PC and all catalogs I can find, then reinstalled and got a bad catalog again.  HELP.  I just want to start all over.  I have a PC with Windows 7.  It has had a number of editions of elements (6,10,13) on the this PC over the last 5 years. Thanks. Paul

    Hello Paul,
    I would first suggest trying to reset the default preferences of Photoshop Elements to see if that would fix your issue.
    Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements Editor displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file could be damaged. You can restore all preferences to their defaults.
    Note: Deleting the preferences file is an action that cannot be undone.
    Do one of the following:
    Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Mac: Option+Command+Shift) immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file.
    Go to Edit > Preferences (Mac: Photoshop Elements > Preferences > General), click the Reset Preferences on next launch button, and then click OK. When you restart Adobe Photoshop Elements, all preferences are reset to default settings.
    A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements Editor. For information on a specific preference option, search for the preference name in Help.
    However, if you want to delete it entirely you can start by running the uninstaller or then ensuring all files were deleted manually.
    Run the uninstaller
    Close all applications.
    Choose Start > Control Panel or Start > Settings > Control Panel.
    Do one of the following:
    Windows 7, Vista: If the Control Panel is in a Control Panel Home view, then click Uninstall A Program under Programs.
    Windows 7, Vista: If the Control Panel is in Classic View, then double-click Programs And Features.
    In the list of installed programs, select Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, and then click Uninstall or Remove.
    Click next.
    Click Remove, and then follow the remaining onscreen instructions to complete the removal.
    Remove Separate Files
    Note: Some of the folders below are hidden. By default, Windows Explorer does not display hidden files and folders. To show these hidden folders, see Show hidden files, folders, and filename extensions.
    Stop the Watch Folders service
    The Watch Folders service runs in the background on your computer. The service detects photos that you add to folders that are on the Organizer's watch folder list. If this service is running, then you can't remove all of the folders listed in the next section.
    Choose Start > Run (Windows XP) or click Start (Windows 7 and Vista).
    Type services.msc and then press Enter.
    In the list of services, locate Adobe Active File Monitor V10. If it is not listed, this section.
    Right-click Adobe Active File Monitor V10, and then do one of the following:
    Choose Stop from the pop-up menu. Proceed to the next step.
    If Stop is unavailable (it is dimmed), then the service is already stopped. Proceed to the next step.

    if i purchase the downladable version of photoshop elements 10 for my mac, do i have the option of also downloading it to my pc without purchasing it again?

    Adobe says not for downloads, but some people have had success using the same serial number on both platforms. With the boxed version, there's no problem--those serial numbers can be used for either or both.

  • Transfer photoshop elements from one computer to another

    I want to transfer my photoshop elements from my macbook to my imac. What is the quickest and easiest way of going about this. I also don't want to loose any of my files.

    Deactivating the program from one computer and then activating it on another is easy -- though how you do it depends on which version of the program you're using.
    But you seem to have something else going on. What do you mean by "I don't want to loose any of my files"?
    Are you also trying to move all of your image files from one computer to another? That's also easy using the Mac Migration Assistant.

    Did you not look at the link in the thread in my last post, Lorna?
    When you buy software it's your responsibility to keep the media against
    future reinstallations, whether you purchase via download or on disc. If
    you registered your software, for PSE 9 you may still find a download
    link in your adobe store account, if you purchased PSE that way, also.

  • How do i reinstall photoshop C6 from time machine

    How do I reinstall photoshop C6 from time machine

    Which version of mac os x does your new mac have?
    Actually photoshop elements 6 should work on modern intel macs.
    The only problem is that adobe doesn't have photoshop elements 6 installers available anymore, though there may be a chance to get the pse 6 installer if you bought pse 6 as a download from adobe
    and login to your adobe account using the same user id and password as you did back then.
    Otherwise hopefully you have the photoshop elements 6 install dvd.

  • How to transfer the photo captions from Photoshop Elements 12 organizer to Adobe Revel albums ?

    How to transfer the photo captions from Photoshop Elements 12 organizer to Adobe Revel albums ?

    Thks for the contribution. However, it seems I cannot solve my problem with the kindly proposed solution.
    Let me rephrase my problem:
    I off-line prepare, organize photos and also add manually individual photo captions with PE12 Organizer. In the properties panel, I can check that the photo properties (including captions) are properly associated with the photo.
    However when I upload on Revel -directly with PE12 Organizer (selecting Share/Private Web Album)- these individual (accordingly captioned) photos or albums, I cannot find the photo captions (i.e. the photo caption did not directly show up with the photo in Revel). This obliges me to a double work by copying  and pasting each photo caption.
    Is there any plan to get rid of that ?
    Let me add that I am using the French version of PE12
