Mac Version of PSE6

OK, you Mac users, does PSE6 work well with a Mac? I've read the Apple site comments on PSE6 and the opinions run all over the place.
I am switching to a Mac and before I make a purchase, I want to know if the SW is as reliable and capable on the Mac as it is on a PC.
Your comments are welcomed.
Thanks,

I would say it is more so, although installation can be a bit of a pain for some people. But most of the technical problems with PSE are with the organizer, and the mac version doesn't have that, so it works pretty well once you get it installed.

  • Shocked by lack of features on Mac version compared to Windows. Why?

    Just downloaded Premiere elements 11 and shocked to find that the full set of features are not supported on the mac version, most notably the chroma, green and blue keying effects/ filters. Why is this?? I use a mac not as a fashion statement, but because they are the industry standard for creative businesses. ALL photographic, graphic design, editing etc suites use macs, so why give these features to windows and NOT macs? Makes absolutely no sense at all and I am shocked not to mention disappointed!!

    There are differences between the Mac and PC platform, and not just with Premiere Elements, but also Premiere Pro. The PC gets more Effects, and Transitions. This was first noted in Premiere Pro CS 3, when it was ported to the Mac. Before, with Premiere Pro 1.0, through CS 2/verson 2.0, the program was PC-only. When PrPro CS 3 was introduced, the Mac-users took note that their PC friends got more than they did.
    At that time, there were many posts to the PrPro Forum, regarding the differences. Adobe engineers commented on the differences between how the two platforms handled some aspects of the program - and mainly display functions. This list of Effects & Transitions in CS 3, for Mac and PC, will show what was different between those two platforms: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/460313?tstart=1470 [Note: this was for PrPro, and it has/had many differences, from PrE, so this is not a clear difference chart between PrE for the Mac and the PC, but you can get the idea. It is for background reference use only.]
    Something similar happened, when PrPro went from CS 4 to CS 5, which was a 64-bit program ONLY. A lot of Effects and such were lost in the new version, and some were "old stand-bys" for users of the earlier program. In time, a few DID show up in later versions of PrPro, but not all. Some were 32-bit only, and Adobe deemed it too expensive to port all of them to 64-bit, so they were just dropped, and have never reappeared. The same thing happened with many 3rd party plug-ins. Once, they were all 32-bit, and that worked up until CS 5. Most suppliers then went back to the lab, and recoded their plug-ins for 64-bit, but not all. Some just dropped their support for PrPro.
    While this does not help you get your job done (ATR's blog post will, however, and that was also why I suggested other Effects for Keying), it shows that PrE is not alone with the differences between platforms.
    Good luck and happy editing,

  • Hi - I am looking for the Adobe Illustrator 2014 1.2 (or .0.2) bugfix update for Mac - and it is not visible in the Adobe Creative Cloud Packager (Mac version). The only update visible is Illustrator CC 2014.1  - which is what introduced the bugs.

    The only thing that I can think of that might be causing the issues that I have a Mac Mini on Mavericks.

    Hi
    I have discovered that my question above is a non-question. A user triggered by looking at the below article about Illustrator 2014 cc 17.0.2
    http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/release-note/illustrator-17-0-2-release-notes.html 
    He had recently upgraded from wht we now know is 18.0 to 18.1 which is the latest version. He read the above artic
    le and supposed that it was a bug fix release for his version - because the v17 ov18 number is not often displayed. It is usually just 2014 CC.
    I have asked him to post a bug report about Adobe Illustrator CC 2014.1

    Hi scarabs55,
    Are you working with Acrobat or Photosohp? (You mention both PDF files and photos, so it's not clear.)
    Let us know what software you're thinking about upgrading and we can point you in the right direction.

  • I'm running Pages version 5.2 on a Desktop Mac version 10.9.2. with the Pages app open how do I use the Time Machine to go back five hours to see the work?

    I'm running Pages version 5.2 on a Desktop Mac version 10.9.2. With the Pages app open how do I use the Time Machine to go back five hours to see my page? Can I access Time Machine within an app like Pages? How do I enter Time Machine within the application? It always takes me to the Finder. I apolgise for the mumbo jumbo. I simply do not know how to use Time Machine. It makes sense when I follow the Tutorial but then I lose it.

    OK. You've kind of skipped over the reason why you want to go back five hours, but my assumption would be that you've made changes to a Pages file that you want to revert.
    There are two ways to tackle this. From Pages itself, open the current version of your document, and from the File menu, click Revert To, and Browse All Versions. You'll then be in the Time Machine interface for that file, and can browse back to the version you want.
    Or, outside of Pages, you can select the file (or the folder it was originally in, if you've since deleted it) and enter Time Machine from the TM menu (it sounds like you've already tried this?)

  • Hi Guys I have asked to transfere my creative suite from windows to mac, no problem, I got the serial number, but I have a windows installation disc how to I get the mac version on my mac computer?

    HI Guys I have recently asked to transfer my Windows creative suite to a Mac computer. I received the serial number but unlike my lightroom install disc, which is win and mac, my Creative Suite disc is windows only, how do I go about installing a Mac version of my creative suite onto the Mac computer?

    I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
    That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
    Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
    If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
    /Applications/Aperture.app
    /Library/Application Support/Aperture/
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

  • How do I exchange CS5.5 Windows version for a Mac version?

    I bought the downloadable online student version of Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 (windows version) over 2 years ago.  I just bought a Mac and would like to re-install CS but according to Adobe website, I need to exchange the windows version for mac version but since I don't have the most current version of CS (CS6?) I actually have to purchase an upgrade to CS6 first in order to exchange the windows version for mac. Does anyone know how to do this and how much it is going to cost?  I found instructions online that led me to a form that was a little vague and confusing so if anyone knows another way to go about doing this let me know!  Also, I don't think my membership allows me the privilege of actually speaking to someone in customer service.

  • HT1199 My mac has OSX version 10.8.2 and I'm try to install an aiport express base station which requires 10.5.7 or later. Yet when I try to install the software it says the base station is not compatible with my mac version - how do I resolve?

    You already have the software installed that you need if you have 10.8.2.
    If AirPort Utility cannot find the Express, that is another matter. More software is not needed. More troublehooting is needed.
    Power up the Express for a full minute
    Hold in the reset button on the Express for 7-8 seconds and release
    Allow a full minute for the Express to restart
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen
    Look for a heading of New AirPort Base Station
    Just below that, click on AirPort Express
    What happens?

  • How can I move a loop in Mac version.  It's easy on iPad

    Hi,
    I just want to move a loop back and forth on the track.  I can do it easily on an iPad but every time I try to move it in the Mac version it shortens or lenghthens the loop but it will not let me move the position.  Tearing hair out after trying for hours to grab the loop somehow.  What is the secret?
    I'm using Mavericks with the latest Garageband.
    Dave

    Dave,
    you have to hold down on the loop right on the center of the loop, not close to the ends. Then drag and hold the loop to move it.The cursor should remain an arrow and not turn into a bracket. If you see a bracket-shaped cursor, you will trim the loop instead of moving it.

  • I used Roboform on Windows and have tried the Mac version.  Is there a comparable or at least an effective app in the AppStore?

    The Mac version didn't seem to work as well as the Windows version but that may have been the result of transferring data from W to Mac. The sync function is useful.  There are a lot of apps in the App Store  are any of them as good as Roboform?
    The passwords are in a Roboform data file in documents transferred from Windows but don't appear when I select the Roboform icon.  I don't know how to transfer them within the Mac platform.

    There is a version for Mac, from their web site...
    •Mac Password Manager - RoboForm:
    http://www.roboform.com/platforms/mac
    home: http://roboform.com./
    There also is an iOS version, see downloads.
    Hopefully this is what you are asking about.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • When Exporting a Crystal Report to Excel format all of the dates get changed when viewed on Mac version of Excel

    We're using Crystal Reports 10 and when we export a report from the Crystal Viewer using either the MS Excel 97-2000 option or the MS Excel 97-2000 (Data Only) option, the date columns on the report appear as expected on a PC version of Excel, however, most of the users at our company use Macs so when they open the same report on the Mac version of Excel all of the dates show up as 2011 or 2012 dates eventhough they are suppose to be 2008 dates. We've tried to just open the report after the export process and then do a "Save As" but get the same result. The date columns all appear to be formatted as Date. The dates on the Crystal Viewer appear as expected when viewed on a Mac. The users are running Excel for Mac OS-X Service Release 1.0. Any idea why this may be happening and is there a solution to this problem? Thanks!

    Hi,
    To clarify, are you currently using the Mac version of Crystal Reports Viewer 2008 which you downloaded from here?: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting/viewer/index.epx

  • Installed yosemite. CS5 no longer workers. Error message about Java SE 6. But SE 6 doesn't seem to have a MAC version. How can I resolve?

    Installed Yosemite on my Mac. CS5 no longer workers. When I try to open Photoshop, I get an error message about needing a Java SE 6. This is different from the other Java update Yosemite required (I already installed that). I assumed the higher update would suffice for previous versions, but I guess it doesn't work that way. Went over to the Java site, but SE 6 doesn't seem to have a MAC version. How can I resolve this?
