Is there any reason I should want to install Photoshop Elements?

Hi,
I have Photoshop CS5 and received Photoshop Elements 9 as part of a bundle with a purchased product. I don't know what Photoshop Elements is or if it is a simpler less powerful version of Photoshop CS5. In any case, I am not sure if I should even bother to install it or if it is going to confuse things up for me...
What do you recommend I do?
Regards,
Juan

Thank you so much Barbara.
I have been giving this a thought for a while.
Do you also find you can do much more?
I would think so, but I don't know what the new features would be in using PS.
If it can do more fantasy etc...I would like it - I have a lot of baby and old pictures to work with and I would like to add like a glamour look - fancy and elegant swirls and cascading stars...
I know this could be done in PSE, but if I can go further in PS, maybe learning it there would be best.
I don't want to start from square one - I was okay playing with PSCS1 I think a long time ago.
I have a friend that uses CS5 and has never used a PSE program - she said it would be too confusing - I don't know that I agree.
Maybe a few good classes could get me going.
I love photography - do pretty well at it - and would like to enhance - do some digital scrapping - I am a clean scrapper - one photo showcased on a page - scrapping just enough to feel the photo's meaing.
What do you think?
thank you for answering

If you don't use MobileMe then there is no point moving to iCloud.

Is there an instruction sheet detailing how to install Photoshop Elements 13 (from a DVD disk), on a Windows 8.1 computer, and if so, where do I find it

Is there an instruction sheet detailing how to install Photoshop Elements 13 (from a DVD disk), on a Windows 8.1 computer, and if so, where do I find it?

Googled for an instruction sheet. Got the following.

and
https;//helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-installation-errors.html
(Don't know why the second one didn't turn into a link, that's the url that printed out at the bottom of the page)
In any case it doesn't matter. I returned it to the store where I bought it.
Rule #1; Don't use a product if the people who produce that product (software, hardware, etc.) don't properly support it.
User forums and\or chat lines, are useful and may help. But! They do not constitute proper support (not for installation purposes anyway).

I have a new MacBook Air with Yosemite (no CD/DVD capacity). I want to install Photoshop Elements 6. Can I do this with the serial number? If pse 6 is not compatible, can I upgrade to pse 7. I do not need pse 12 or 13.

I cannot answer regarding compatibility, but there is no download available for PSE6 if you would need one for this. You might be able to copy the installation files from a disk to some other removable media that the machine accepts. Upgrading to PSE7 would not be possible mainly because Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.

Should I re-install Photoshop Elements 10 installed using wrong disk (Disk 1 32bit on a 64 bit CPU)?

I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 using Disc 1 for Windows 32 bit on a Windows 7 64 bit computer instead of using the correct Disk 2. Should I uninstall and re-install using Disc 2 in order to get the full benefits of the program, or does the Disk 1 software detect the correct operating system and install the correct version any way?

Unless you're also installing PRE (bundle) or the PRE trial (PSE only version), you're fine, since PSE is always 32 bits.

I want to install Photoshop elements 11 onto a new computer but have lost my activation code

I have a new pc and want to install my photoshop elemets onto it but have lost my activation code. Tried searching on Adobe, but I did not register the product. How can I retrieve it?

You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account. If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.

It won't be on the disc, but should be on the disc cover. You might also find it thru your Adobe account online if you installed it previously and registered it. Here's a link to info about finding your serial number:

Is there any reason I shouldn't work this way?

Given the lack of batch capture in FCE is there any reason why I shouldn't work in the following way:
1. Import video in large chunks using capture now
2. Use DV start stop and Make sub-clip
3. Export just the sub-clips I want as self-contained movies
4. Close the project and delete the original capture files and the FCE project file
5. Start a new project and import the movies I saved in step 3.
My reasons for wanting to do this are mainly to save disc space but also to reduce clutter in the bins. So far as I can see this works fine. The only downsides I can see are:
1. The extra time it takes but this is offset against the chore of capturing individual clips instead of using capture now.
2. The fact that reimported clips have their audio tracks set to mono mix but it seems easy enough to correct this. (As an aside, if I import a .mov file saved from Quicktime it imports into FCE with the audio set to stereo - why the difference?).
I'd be happy enough working this way, I think, provided I could be confident that I'm not going to lose quality by saving and then re-importing. Will I? Are there any other downsides I've not thought of?

You shouldn't lose any quality in the audio or video, but you may lose the timecode track. I'm not sure if you'll lose it, but if you do, you won't be able to recapture the project clips from the original tape because the timecode would be required. This isn't an issue, if you don't ever need to recapture. The timecode may even be retained... I'd have to do an export to see. As a matter of workflow, you may want to think seriously about keeping the timecode, because you can back-up your project file and have some assurance that you can recover from a chatastrophic failure simply by restoring the project file and recapturing from the original tape.
Regarding your audio and video; unless you were to add effects to the video, there should be no loss in exporting and importing. Losses in DV are incurred when you add filters (alter the image) and recompress. The audio is uncompressed PCM, so no losses to be had there, unless you change the sampling rate.

Is there any reason photos in an album page display small on the iPad, but normally on an iMac? And videos on a movies page don't play on the iPad, but are OK on the iMac?

Is there any reason photos in an album page created in iweb display small on the iPad, but normally on an iMac? And videos on a movies page don't play on the iPad, but are OK on the iMac?

there are three displays in photos page:
1) thumbnails grid - smallest
2) deatial view and detail view slideshow - large
3a) pop-up slideshow - vary - this is slideshow.html
3b) or iphone/ipad slideshow phoneshow.html - iphone/ipad can't do pop-up
it's difficult to know which you refer to.
if you refer to pop-up slideshow then you should not look into iwebmediagrid.js as wyodor suggested.
instead look in phoneshow.html and change width and heigth of element id slideshow:
#slideshow {
position: relative;
width: 320px; /* this is default width */
height: 360px; /* this is default height */
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
overflow: hidden;

Is there any reason or my why cursor is stuck on the spinning rainbow wheel?

Lately my macbook has been freezing, and I'm thinking that it's being overloaded. Most of the time the cursor is stuck on the spinning rainbow wheel, but it will eventually return back into the arrow. It's currently stuck as the spinning wheel, but I am able to click and access sites. Is there anything I should do to get this checked?
EDIT: When I open a new tab, the cursor goes back to normal. Is there any reason why it is doing that in the other tab?

Hi,
Use the PC KB and hold Windows key + r key at bootup.
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

Reset the device, restart the device, try downloading any other app.
All of these are basic steps that could have been found by a simple search of the forums as a resolution for the issue.

Can I have two apple TV boxes in the same home / wifi area, ar there any issues i should be aware of?

can I have two apple TV boxes in the same home / wifi area, are there any issues i should be aware of?

I was in a hotel a few month a ago. The hotel also had a portal page you have to sign in. Of course the ATV didn't a web browser and could not sign in to the portal and connect to the Internet, so your iTunes didn't work. (But your ATV should be connected to the router at that point already, just the portal won't open the port to pass through your ATV's traffic)
So what I did was to use AirVideo app on my iPad and AirVideo server on my Mac. Selected the movie on my iPad using the AirVideo app and then selected my AirPlay device on my iPad to AppleTV. Because this setup didn't require iTunes, so there was no need for a live Internet connection, and just a connection to the hotel router was enough. It was very easy.
(Of course, you can subsititude the iPad with an iPhone here too)
