Photoshop 7.0 for Mac OSX

I bought Photoshop 7.0 for my Mac OSX and it won't install. The site I bought it from won't return it because the package is open. (duh, I have to open it to install it) but I get a message saying my computer does not support PowerPC. I specifically bought the version for Mac OSX and when I put the disk in. the install icon looks strange and won't work. Is there something I can do to get it to install? I spent $250 on this program and since I can't return it I was hoping to find a way to make it work. The owner of the site I bought from is not being very cooperative about returns. Thanks

Photoshop 7 is a PowerPC app. That means it was designed for a processor (IBM PowerPC) that Apple discontinued NINE years ago, and ended all support for more than four years ago.  If you have a Mac newer than 2009 there is no way to install this app, because it would require "Rosetta" which Apple stopped supporting with OS 10.7. "Rosetta" allowed PPC apps to run in an emulated environment, and Photoshop was one one that ran terribly in Rosetta, so it would be pretty much a waste of time to try.
You would be best to try to sell it on ebay and recoup some of your money, but there is no way you'll ever use this with a Mac newer than 2009.

  • Photoshop elements 11 for mac osx

    Did purchase ph. el. 11 via Amazon.com; 1st install did not work; failed to intialize when installing; called customer service and got connected with India and they tried to help but not very well; my suggestion "we" try to install a fresh copy from adobe and "we" did; to no avail, the download seems to be fine but when half trough the install intialization it stops and recommends to install the Adobe Advisor and I did; in running the advisor it does not recognaize the files I downloaded and thus can not trouble shoot the problem.  I am now at the point of trowing this software out the window and ask for a refund.  PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Ulfkdn are you receiving any specific error messages?  You can check your installation logs for error by following the steps listed at Troubleshoot install using logs | Element - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-install-using-logs-elements.html.
    You may also want to review the steps listed in Troubleshoot installation | Photoshop Elements | Mac OS - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-installation-photoshop-elements- mac.html.  I would recommend first looking in your installation logs for an applicable error first as it may allow you to determine the exact error, and subsequent failure, which is preventing the installation process from completing.

  • How to install english language adobe Photoshop CS4 for Mac OSX 10.7.5 ?

    Hello,
    I am in Germany and need to switch Photoshop to English.
    The option is not available in the language preferences (attached screenshot)
    I could only find an update for Mac OSX 10.4, but not 10.7?
    Please help!
    Thanks in advance!

    Languages are serial number specific. You cannot change them on the fly. If your serial number supports it, you would have to install it in English. anything beyond that is a hack like stripping the localization files from the app package...

  • I just installed the new firefox for Mac OSX 10.6.8 and when I select an image on a site (right click and copy) and paste in Photoshop 5.5, the image lightens. It does not do this in Safari.

    Question
    I just installed the new firefox for Mac OSX 10.6.8 and when I select an image on a site (right click and copy) and paste in Photoshop 5.5, the image lightens. It does not do this in Safari.

    Firefox, Safari, and PhotoShop each handle embedded color profiles differently. For an add-on that makes it easier to experiment with Firefox's color management options, you might be interested in: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/color-management/ Color Management :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.

  • I reinstalled my plug-ins into Photoshop CC (2014) on Mac OSX 10.9.4, and they are greyed out in the Filters menu. How do I get them to work? I have tried everything including repairing permissions.

    I reinstalled my plug-ins into Photoshop CC (2014) on Mac OSX 10.9.4, and they are greyed out in the Filters menu. How do I get them to work? I have tried everything including repairing permissions.

    My apologies. Your post jogged my little grey cells to the point that I did a few experiments. In essence, you are right. My plug-ins do not work with 8-bit greyscale images. I like to deliberately shoot B&W and have a Wratten #12 minus-blue filter on the lens--as I used to do with film cameras.
    The raw files ( Fujifilm's .RAF) were converted in Adobe CR by checking off "Convert to Grayscale" under the fourth tab. In the future, I will do the B&W conversion in Photoshop with either Nik or Topaz plug-ins.
    Thanks for your input!

  • Photoshop CC 2014 for Mac Error With Display Driver

    I keep receiving this error and then Photoshop crashes. Has anyone encountered this issue and if so how did you resolve it? I am using a Targus docking station and I had to download this driver: Driver Name: Video, Audio, and Ethernet Software for Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10, Mavericks 10.9, Mountain Lion 10.8/10.7 (R2.3) – January 2015
    As long as this driver is installed on my mac pro, Photoshop continues to crash. If I uninstall the driver, Photoshop works fine.
    Error Message:

    You need to update your video driver from the website of the manufacturer of your video card.  You cannot rely on Windows Update or Microsoft, which typically have outdated drivers.

  • Loading .gif animations into Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac

    For years I used Photoshop Elements 2 for Windows to make .gif animations with great success. 
    Then I switched to a Mac and bought Elements 8 for Mac.  Now, I am finding out that I can not load any
    of the animations I made using Elements 2 into 8.  (And yet I can load animations I made using 8 into 2.)
    In fact, I can not load any .gif animations into 8, other than if I make one and save it
    as .psd.  8 allows me to make them, but not load them as .gifs.
    My question:  Is there an easy way to load .gif animations into PS Elements 8 so a
    person can work on the individual frames?  Am I going to have to convert any .gif animation I
    want to import into 8 first into .psd?  All I seem to get when I try to load a .gif is the message
    "This is an animated gif.   You can only view one frame." I have searched manuals and the
    Net looking for a specific method of using PSE8 to load gif animations intact (not just one frame). 
    Is it possible?  Thanks. (I also have noticed that Elements 8 will not allow me to change the frame
    speed -- it is unchangeable at .2)

    Dear Ms. Brundage -
    I followed the directions detailed in your blog entitled "Moving a Catalog from Windows to Mac" as well as your description of the process on page 58 of your book "Photoshop Elements 9 - the missing manual." 
    I installed PE9 for Windows and converted my catalog.  I then backed up that catalog to an external hard drive.  I then connected the hard drive to my MAC on which I also installed Photoshop Elements 9 for MAC.  I opened the Organizer and tried to restore that converted catalog.  However, for each file in the converted catalog, a dialog box opened that said "Could not restore file:  /Volumes/Name of External Hard Drive/Filename.JPG."
    I then made a second backup of the converted catalog using Photoshop Elements 9 for Windows and then tried to restore that catalog again on the MAC using Photoshop Elements 9 for MAC, again to no avail.
    Do you have any idea what the problem may be?
    Thanks again.

  • Vmware Fusion Beta for Mac OSX Released Today

    I don't know if this is the correct forum; if it's not, please pardon me.
    VMware Fusion Beta for Mac OSX has been released today. This product, while the developers admit has some bugs in it, promises to make virtual computing a whole lot easier and would eliminate for many (not all) the need to use Boot Camp. The link for this new program is http://www.vmware.com/products/beta/fusion/
    On that page you can find links for support and forums as well.
    If you need a free virtual appliance to use with Fusion, then use this link http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/
    Currently, there is no charge for using the BETA program. The VMWare folks are asking people to give feedback on their use of the product.
    This is what we've been waiting for to purchase our new MAC. I can say without a doubt that from my own experience with Linux boxes, VMWare is the best virtual solution on the market. It's easy to configure and supports a wide variety of hardware and OSs. I can even move the virtual machines I created under Linux to my new MAC when I receive it.
    The time has finally dawned for me to retire the last remaining pc towerbox in my home. My wife and I recently expunged one of those machines earlier this week and are eagerly looking forward to getting rid of the other one.
    We am really looking forward to purchasing the new Mac Pro. What makes it especially appealing for us is it's scalability and the fact that we can use our current hardware,including our Kensington Track Ball mouse and current monitor with it, although we are taking a serious look at a new Apple Display as well.
    Many thanks to everyone for taking the time to read this post. I am looking forward to joining and my wife is looking forward to rejoining the MAC community.

  • The Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 10 removed the Java plugin from Firefox 5.0. How do I re-install it?

    I've just installed Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 10 and can no longer run Java Applets from Firefox 5.0

    Dear Craig,
    Macbook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB RAM
    I'm sure that this is 64-bit
    CF 8.0.1 Enterprise Build 3080
    I had moved the Java SE 6 to the top in both Plugin and Applications. The
    correct version is showing in the terminal window. See below.
    Last login: Thu Jun 18 11:27:09 on ttys001
    Beta-4:~ Colin$ java -version
    java version "1.6.0_13"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03-211)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.3-b02-83, mixed mode)
    Beta-4:~ Colin$
    CF will not start. I have the activity monitor open, and when I start CF you
    see it in the activity monitor for a few seconds as it starts up. When the
    message process is completed in the terminal window CF disappears in the
    activity monitor.
    Any suggestions?
    C
    Hi, Colin,
    My apologies but I forgot to ask 2 questions: (1) What kind of Mac you have
    (Intel or PowerPC)? (2) What version of CF are you running and what installer
    did you choose (8 or 8.0.1, 32-bit, 64-bit, etc.)?
    To start, try the following:
    1. Normally you'd shut CF down first ... but that's not necessary for you
    2. Open Java Preferences again
    3. Select Java SE 6 and move it (drag) to the top spot in both section (Applet
    Plugin and Applications)
    4. Open Terminal
    5. Type java -version (you should see 1.6.0_13 as the new version)
    6. Try to start CF again
    This may not work (I've had issues with it) but it's technically how it's
    supposed to work. With the Java Preferences utility, you're visually setting a
    default JVM (you can do it with commands in Terminal but this is much faster
    and easier).
    If CF still won't start, look for the jvm.config file in your CF application
    folder (try /Applications/ColdFusion8/bin or
    /Applications/ColdFusion8/runtime/bin -- the latter is where a jvm.config file
    is on my machine for a particular version of CF that's installed similar to
    yours). You can override the JVM in this file but, hopefully, that won't be
    necessary!
    Best,
    Craig

  • Is anybody use LR with Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac ?

    I've just bought Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac on a PM G5 (OS 10.5.2). PSE works but LR don't find it as external editor. I have done what is the Knowledge Base, I've deleted all adobe products (and all related files in /Library an home/Library) and reinstall only PSE 6 and LR 1.3.1 .
    In KB, they tell that LR uses a com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist but PSE 6 creates a com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist (without a dot between Photoshop and Elements). I've tried to duplicates this file but that does not work.
    I don't understand why LR does not provide a way to specify where Photoshop (or Elements) is. I don't know what to do now.

    For some reason Adobe decided to change the bundle name for the PSE6 application from com.adobe.photoshop.elements to com.adobe.PhotoshopElements. This change is also reflected in the Preferences file names.
    Lightroom (1.3.1 and 1.4) seem to use the MacOS core services to find PSE - but use the com.adobe.photoshop.elements (and com.adobe.photoshop for full PS) bundle names.
    The immediate fix, if you're handy with a hex editor, is to go into the Lightroom application bundle, find the file AgEditExternally.lua and patch the string "com.adobe.photoshop.elements" in the file so it becomes "com.adobe.PhotoshopElements" (remember a null terminator and make a copy of the file first!).
    If that's Greek to you then either live with it and wait for an official fix or set up Elements 6 as the 'Additional External Editor'.

  • Adobe PhotoShop Elements 6 for Mac

    I've downloaded, without difficulty, the Adobe PhotoShop Elements 6 for Mac 30 day trial onto my Pismo running OS 10.4.8 with 1GB of RAM. As soon as I try to open a photo the application crashes. I know the G3 processor (500 MHz) will be slow but it shouldn't be impossible for it to cope. Adobe's site says that G4 or higher is required. Perhaps I should look at earlier versions of the application. Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated

    Hi, Tim. As you've noted, your Pismo doesn't meet the minimum System Requirements for PSE6:
    *PowerPC® G4 or G5 or multicore Intel® processor (your Pismo has a G3)*
    - Mac OS X v10.4.8 through 10.5.2
    - 512MB of RAM (1GB recommended)
    *64MB of video RAM (your Pismo has 8MB)*
    - 1GB of available hard-disk space (additional free space required during installation)
    - 1,024x768 monitor resolution with 16-bit video card
    - DVD-ROM drive
    - QuickTime 7 software required for multimedia features
    - Internet connection required for Internet-based services
    (boldface added)
    Yes, if I were you I'd try to buy an earlier version of PSE.
