Installing free trial of Adobe Photoshop Elements 8

I have a PowerPC G4, 10.5.8. I tried to download the trial version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 (to check before I buy), and this is the message I get:
"System Check The minimum system requirements listed below are needed to run Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 and are not met:
This product does not support PowerPC architecture CPU. Please upgrade or adjust your system to meet these requirements."
I have no idea what this means or what to do about it. Can this be solved? Does this mean I am not compatible with this app?

Okay, I'm looking at Photoshop Elements 6 Amazon and one of the customer reviews says this: "Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac will not install if your hard drive is formatted using Case Sensitive Journaled HFS+. This requirement is not mentioned in the Elements 6 documentation.
The current fix is to reformat your hard drive using non-case sensitive HFS+. Mac users who need the case sensitive drive format are out of luck with Elements 6 at this time.
You can check how your hard drive is formatted by looking in ->About this Mac->More Info->Hardware->Serial-ATA (if you are using a MacBook Pro)."
I have no idea what this means. And checking my system profiler doesn't tell me anything, or at least I don't understand what it's saying.
Also, re: GIMP - it says on the site: "Running GIMP on Mac OS X requires Apple's X11 environment. It is included on the "Optional Installs" package on the OS X install disk."
I don't know what this means either, and I don't have the install disks, as my friend upgraded me and didn't give me his disks. I'm sorry I seem so stupid, but i'm really at a loss with all of this. Thanks for everyone's help.

    After re-installing Win 7 64 on my computer, and attempting to install my copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements, I now get the following message: "This version of Photoshop Elements requires MS Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher to be installed". Does anyone have an idea of what the problem is? It has always worked in the past.

    I have found a temporary solution, allowing the previous version of iTunes (v. 11.1.3 (x64) in my case) to be re-installed.  It will allow you to re-establish use of iTunes until the Apple software engineers fix the most recent disasterous upgrade (v. 11.1.4).  Please see and follow the procedure in the following article:http://smallbusiness.chron.com/reverting-previous-version-itunes-32590.html   The previous version works beautifully.

  • Is there a trial for adobe photoshop elements 7?

    I bought adobe photoshop elements 7 some years ago, I have the case with the serial number, but have lost the disk! need a trial or download of this version please!

    Adobe does not provide download links to previous versions of most of their software.
    The affiliate site prodesigntools.com usually does but it only goes back to Photoshop Elements 8.
    I don't know of any links to Photoshop Elements 7.

  • Where can I download a free trial of adobe photoshop for mac os x 10.5?

    Hi,
    I cant seem to find a free download of adobe photoshop for my mac os x 10.5. Does anyone know where I could find this?

    Should you have been misled about the capabilities of the iBook G3
    portable PowerPC-based Apple computer you bought online, you may
    be able to return it; misrepresented products may be returned if you
    bought through such places as eBay, etc.
    Also, the name iBook has been re-used, it currently not only applies to
    old vintage or obsolete Apple portable PowerPC G3/G4 computers, it
    also applies to the newer iBooks ebooks, applications, software, and an
    author application where later spec computer or device systems are
    needed to utilize their function. But not current portable computers.
    For relatively inexpensive Intel-based white polycarbonate Apple portable
    computers that could run Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion 10.7, you may find
    some resellers of repaired or used stocks, with Core2Duo processors,
    and these MacBook entry-level models replaced the PowerBook/iBook G4
    builds in 2006, then were discontinued by 2010. Now there are MacBook/Air
    MacBook/Pro models, the latest models are rather different in build & OS X.
    everymac.com has information about most all Macs, including portables
    and their years of manufacture, specification, and other details.
    So, I'd check into the returns situation, and get some model of more recent
    build; even a repaired one with a limited guarantee could be OK. Depending
    on what your expectations are, you may find a deal, or a disappointment in
    trying to find a bargain without  more information on what their limits are.
    Older models no longer made appear in online resale sites, some companies
    repair and resell a variety and their inventory is changing all the time. But other
    resellers may not really know anything at all about the items they sell on ebay.
    A local Mac user group may be helpful with locating something nearby. Or you
    could try some online resellers who have a good reputation among Mac users.
    In any event...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Cant install upgrade disc to Adobe Photoshop Elements 10

    How do I load all three discs. First disc loads, others do not. Should they??

    If you have successfully installed Photoshop Elements using disc 1, and are able to open the application, that's all you need to do. I am guessing that you are on a Windows OS.
    Disc 3 is for installing on Mac OS. To install Premiere Elements (trial version) on Win 7 64 bit use Disc 2.

    There is nothing to prevent him from downloading and installing the trial version (Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 | Adobe).  At the point all you need to do is provide him with the serial number so that he can activate it.  If the intent is that he be the owner of the software then you might want to see about transfering the license...

    If you do not have it on disc, then download it, install it, and activate it with your serial numnber.  If you need to download it, if you purchased it online thru Adobe look for a link in your Adobe account online.  You can also download the trial version and activate it with your serial number...

  • How do I install Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 on new MacBook Pro without DVD drive?

    I just purchased my first MacBook Pro and am trying to get everything set up and installed. I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and retrieved my serial number and have the redemption code -- but I can't figure out how to install Photoshop without a DVD drive. The Photoshop package I purchased only provides DVDs and I don't have a DVD drive. Is there a website I can go to to install Photoshop and enter my serial number or redemption code?

    Have you tried downloading the trial version and using your serial
    number to activate it?
    The trial version is a complete product and can be activated by
    inserting the valid serial number.
    Good luck.
