Installing a new version of Photoshop Elements

Should I uninstall my current version of Photoshop Elements (7) before installing my new version (9)?

I installed PSE9 without uninstalling 7. I can't explain how we did it but we have two catalogs now in 9. One is "My Catalog" which was the name for the catalog we have had since we started using PSE. We somehow created a new catalog "My Catalog-2012". It is shown as the Current Catalog in 9. When we downloaded some new pictures, they went into the new catalog. I have two questions:
1. There are pictures missing from the catalog we had in 7. In other words, 9 did not get all the pictures from 7. How do we get the missing ones?
2. Before we go any further, should we uninstall 9 and reinstall so that we don't have two catalogs? Or is there any issue in having two catalogs that have the same pictures (ignoring the new pictures we just downloaded)?

Do I have to buy a new version of Photoshop Elements (have Elements 10) just to upload RAW files from my new Olympus E-M10?

I have Photoshop Elements 10. It appears that I need a plugin to upload RAW files and the plugin necessary for my new Olympus E-M10 is not compatible with version 10. Am I getting this right? Do I have to buy a new version of Photoshop Elements just to upload RAW files from my new Olympus E-M10? Otherwise, what I have is all that I need.

Installing a downloaded version of photoshop elements 8 for the mac

Can someone please help me. I downloaded version 8 of photoshop elements for the mac (a paid version and not the trial). When i click on the set-up icon and go through all the required information (i.e., serial number, etc.), the screen goes to checking the system and finally to "preparing to install". It sits there and does nothing. I have waited for hours but it just says "preapring to install". I have downloaded the app a couple of times. I rebooted a couple of times. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.1 I also have the earlier version of Photoshop Elements, version 6. Can someone help please. I have holding now for 73 minutes on Adobe's support line.

Not to sound completely stupid but does this require me to download elements
again but under the new admin user?

Try creating a new admin user (system prefs>user accounts) and using that
for the install.

Can newer versions of Photoshop Elements still read PE 2.0 files?

Can newer versions of Photoshop Elements still read PE 2.0 files?

Some of the less popular formats, such as JPEG2000 and EPS have since been dropped, but standard JPEGS, TIFFS, PSD, GIF, PNG, BMP, PDF should all open in PSE12. There is a free plug-in if you do have JPEG2000 files that you want to open.

How can I install a prior version of Photoshop Elements?

I own the CDs for Photoshop Elements 11, but have never installed it. How can I install PSE 11? I've loaded the serial numbers into my account, but I don't see any place to download PSE 11.

Download the trial version from
http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
Follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first BEFORE you click the download links.
Install the trial and enter your serial number to license it on your computer.

Will there be a new version of Photoshop Elements? If yes, when?

I need to decide buying PSE 10 now or maybe waiting till autumn or end of the year for a new version.
Does anybody know something about this?
Sorry my bad english, is not my native language.
Best greetings

The only people who would know about this would be under NDA and not allowed to say anything. Otherwise, your guess is as good as ours. FWIW, for the past several years there has been a new version every fall.

Have upgraded computer from windows me to win 8 and tried to install an old version of photoshop elements. It starts but ends with an error that I must have internet explorer 4.0 or greater. What do I need to do?

Can anyone help?

First we need to know how much free space your windows 8 hard drive has.
Do you still have access to the computer with Windows ME?

Trouble installing older version of Photoshop Elements on Windows 8.1

I'm having trouble installing an old version of Photoshop Elements (I have no need to upgrade) on Windows 8.1 - it keeps saying I need Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, though I have IE 11. I've tried the regedit fix mentioned here: Elements needs version 4 or newer of Internet Explorer to install? but it doesn't seem to be working - the default was already C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE, and the Path was C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer; - I changed it to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer: but that made no difference. I can't uninstall IE 11 from Windows 8.1, or install an older version.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I used an IEXPLORE.EXE from internet explorer 7 and set the registry path to that.
Then provided your hard drive doesn't have more than 1 TB of free space, photoshop elements 1 should install and run on windows 8.1
Don't forget to set the registry paths back to what they were originally.

Why did my install of an older version of Photoshop Elements fail?

I tried to install a 2001 version of Photoshop Elements, but it failed to install stating that "Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later is Required." I have Windows 7, so therefore I should have at least Internet Explorer 9. Also when I tried to install it on my MAC it also failed stating that "Install failed because Classic Mode is no longer supported." So why can't I install this program on my MAC or Windows 7?
I just bought this off eBay hoping to score a deal on an older program to use and get familiar with before installing a newer version and finding out I didn't like it or it wouldn't meet my needs. Any help in this manner is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
First off, you must be referring to a very old version of Photoshop Elements, not even sure it is version 1. Learning that will not help you very much when you try to go for the latest version - it will be like starting again.
The old version did not know anything of the later versions of Internet Explorer and the installer gets confused. You can trick it by doing some registry edits (see following document) but I strongly advise against it unless you are very competent with computers. Get things wrong and you could kill your system.
Photoshop Elements (PSE) knowledge base.
In addition to the level of Internet Explorer, you will run into problems if you have large disk drives.
I'm not a MAC expert but the older versions of Photoshop Elements were designed to run on PowerPC-based computers and will not run on systems later than MAC OS 10.6.x.
If you are serious about getting to know Photoshop Elements, the best thing is to get the latest trial version. Download that and install it and you can try it for 30 days. If you decide you like it, then you could look out for bargains at your local store or online.

I am trying to reinstall an old version of photoshop elements from a backup drive.

My computer died and I am trying to install an older version of photoshop elements from a backup drive on a new computer. I get the following error message " Could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information. Help?

Just after double clicking or single clicking on the pse 2 shortcut hold down the Alt+Ctrl keys and keep holding the keys until you get a
Scratch Disk Preferences dialog and point the scratch disk to your portable hard drive and maybe that will work.

Version of Photoshop Elements that will works with Windows 7

A few years ago I purchased a Canon scanner 8800F with a bundle that included Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0.2. I recently updated to Windows 7 64 bi,t and have had nothing but trouble trying to get it to work. I have tried removing it and reinstalling, but it just does not work as it did in XP..
I would like to purchase a newer version of Photoshop Elements, but I'm not sure which version will work. It does not have to be the latest version.
Hope someone can help. Thanks.

Any version from 10, 11, 12 or 13 will work on Windows 7. You can download the trial versions from this link and see which one you like most:
<Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
When you have decided which one is best for you, you need to go to Amazon website and buy the boxed version and when it arrives, all you need to do is to use the serial number from the box to activate your trial version. There is no need to reinstall anything again.
Amazon may not have version 10 and 11 so please search for the version they have before installing any trial versions.
Hope this helps.

I installed a new printer and now Photoshop Elements tells me I can't print. The error message is "The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing." I have uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop Elements, checked my printer settings and still I can't print a photo.
