Photoshop CS (v.8.0) in Intel Mac OS 10.8 or 10.6?

I am at the moment using Photoshop CS (v. 8.0) on an old Mac G4 (PPC) with OS 10.4.11. I am about to upgrade to a new Intel-based Mac and shall be running both OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and (via an emulator) OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) on it.
I have two questions:
1.    Will my present Photoshop CS run in OS 10.8 on an Intel Mac?
2.    Will my present Photoshop CS run in OS 10.6 in an emulator on an Intel Mac?
I cannot afford to buy the latest Photoshop!
Many thanks in anticipation of any help or advice.

Here is a handy guide to Rosetta installation. Please go over it carefully.

My bad on CS. Your s/n will be accepted because activation was not implemented in the Mac version of Photoshop CS.
Edit: CS may well run just fine on 10.6   Give it a try.
If you download CS2 Suite, you would get Photoshop,Illustrator, and InDesign CS2...  Assuming you purchased CS or CS2 Suite.
If you only have a Photoshop license, then just get the Photoshop CS2 dmg
I'll  say no more on OS requirements. See if it works. If it works, you are in business.

  • Does Photoshop Elements 4 function in Leopard on Intel Mac?

    I am aware that it is not at all supported by Adobe, but has anyone been successfully using Photoshop Elements 4 on Leopard and Intel macs of any sort?
    thank you

    I had PE4 installed and it was painfully slow and laggy that's why I tried pixelmator and I was so surprised at how wonderful it was.

    I'm repeating a little from above, but at the Apple store they told me PE4 was the latest and most compatible, but when I called Adobe support, the Adobe guy told me there were compatibility issues with PE4 and Leopard, though note that some posters here seem OK with 4 and Leopard. I suggest talking to Adobe support, but they may tell you PE6 is the fix for Leopard, in which case why does 4 work with Leopard? When I told the Apple store that Adobe said that 4 had problems with Leopard, Apple said that Adobe never communicated that to them. I have no more to offer as I don't have 4 to try it. I can say that 2 is dead in the water. Still looking at Pixelator.

  • Photoshop on Intel Mac?

    Can anyone share their experiences actually using Photoshop and third party plug-ins on an Intel Mac?
    I need to buy a second Mac for professional use and am torn between buying Intel vs G4/G5 which of course is being phased out. I realize that all the lab tests say Photoshop runs at half speed on Intel models, but I want to hear from someone who actually uses it routinely.
    Does Photoshop work predictably and reliably on Intel Macs? Is it adequately fast for less than constant use? Do the plug ins work? How about Illustrator? Any other Intel Mac user comments?
    I hate to buy a discontinued G4/G5 if I don't need to, but will do that if necessary to do my work.
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Hi, this is sort of a related issue but not one re: Photoshop, I use Nikon products, Capture 4 etc. However, since I purchased my Mac with the Intel Core, I've been told that it won't run. Fair enough, but I'm now being told by Nikon that the new Capture NX isn't going to work either. Can someone tell me why a product designed to work on OSx won't work on an Itel Mac. Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm new to this problem...

  • Cannot install Photoshop CS2 on Intel Mac 10.4.6 or 10.4.7

    Hey,
    I have just tried to install Photoshop CS2 on an Itel MacBook Pro but it gets stuck while installing "Shared Packages" of "Adobe Help Center".
    Any idea out there?
    Thanks

    Please don't say that CS2 doesn't work under Rosetta, when it does. There are performance issues, and for those who use CS2 for large, system intensive purposes have good reason to not want to upgrade to Intel, but that doesn't mean CS2 won't work.
    I haven't experienced the install problem personally, but googling "cs2""intel""mac" yields this article:
    http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060524084530919
    To summarize, it may be an issue with either Quicktime 7.1 or Adobe Version Cue.
    Good luck.

  • Adobe photoshop elements2 on intel mac

    I installed photoshop elements 2 to my intel mac & when I try to print (Epson photo 1290) a pop up message appears saying ' some PostScript specific print settings (emulsion, interpolation, calibration, encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non postscript printer'.
    I have no idea what that means apart from more trouble from my intel mac since the programme worked perfectly well for years on my G4 imac.
    The photos print but the darks come out too dark even when I increase brightness.
    Any ideas?
    btw I installed PE2 until version 4 comes out for mac.
    Any help gratefully received

    This message is not a "problem." You will always see
    that message with any version of PS/PE when you print
    to an ink jet printer. It just means that there is
    some info, like emulsion, etc. that is not relevant
    to your inkjet printer.
    It sounds like you need to 1. calibrate your monitor,
    2. make sure your images and your working space in PE
    are the same (ie, that you are not working on sRGB
    jpegs in the Adobe RGB color space), 3. Make sure
    that you are not doing double color management for
    printing (ie have PE set up to color manage your
    printing and then telling your print driver to do the
    color management, too.)
    Thanks Barbara
    I had never encountered the message on my G4 with OS9 so glad to know it's not that significant. The printer dialogue boxes I'm getting with OSX are different too & the only way I can select different papers is through 'more options' in the preview dialogue box & selecting color management. This presumably is what you said I shouldn't do! Also utilities(for checking ink status etc) doesnt appear at the top of the print dialogue box like it used to & I can only get that by going to applications/utilities printer setup page which seems a bit longwinded. My printer appears on the ok list that Epson put out about intel compatability so I'm still a bit confused about what to expect as I'm not familiar with OSX.

  • Photoshop 7 faster than CS 3 on Mac Intel .....

    How come Photoshop 7 running on a MacIntel so via Rosetta emulation mode is really really quite faster than the CS 3 which is native !!
    It clearly shows the lack oof optimisation of adobe softwares and that after each update they are becoming more and more gaz factories !!
    It is clear that softwares with competitors are really better than others, the flagrant exemple of Lightroom vs Aperture !
    Plus the prices ...
    CS 3 Standard Edition is in Europe 2032 vs 1199 $ in Northern America reported in US $ 2985 $ vs 1199 $ !!! European customers have to pay 2,5 the price for the same crap !!
    It is clearly that you take your customers for pigeons !!
    Thank you i tried CS 3 the slowlyness and the few more feature will not justify to pay 2,5 more !!

    But its it faster than CS3 on an Intel Mac with Leopard.
    You also have clearly confused the people here on the forums (OTHER USERS) with Adobe.
    Also instead of getting mad at Adobe in America Maybe you should be asking why Adobe distributers in your part of the world see the need to jack the price up. I have a feeling it has more to greed on your end than our end.
    >i tried CS 3 the slowlyness and the few more feature will not justify to pay 2,5 more !!
    Well if you really do own Photoshop 7 instead of just a pirate copy you might want to upgrade now as Adobe's policy world wide is 3 versions back. As soon CS4 is released you will no longer be eligible for upgrade pricing.

  • OS10.9.2 on an Intel Mac CS3 Photoshop says on startup 'licensing for product has stopped working.'

    Using OS 10.9.2 on an Intel Mac, my CS3 Photoshop says . licensing for this product has stopped working.' I've reinstalled and attempted to use the fix in the Adobe website. However the fix will not work on an Intel Mac only a G5.

    For Intel Macs running 10.7 and above, there is a python script that you copy and paste into Terminal. Have you tried it?

  • Finally G4 to Intel Mac.  Photoshop CS to Intel upgrade or plug-in?

    Finally G4 to Intel Mac.  Photoshop CS to Intel upgrade or plug-in?  Do I have options?

    No way. You need to buy CS6 or sign up for Creative Cloud. There's no magic switch and upgrade eligibility for CS ended by the time around CS3... You are way behind the times...

  • Text-wrap problem ID CS3 on Intel Mac

    I've recently been upgraded to an Intel Mac workstation running Leopard and for the most part, the transition has been smooth.  However, I just noticed today that I cannot get "detect edges" to work on a text wrap around an object with a transparent background in a placed Photoshop file.  The detect edges only works if I have a white background.  I've never had this problem before, so I wonder if it's a result of my new computer.  I use this function of text wrap constantly, and I'm hoping someone knows if this is a known bug and if there is a work around.

    You don´t have to use detect edges feature for extracted PSD-image.... just select a proper Contour Options Type, Alpha Channel for instance.

  • Can I use OS9 as the start up disk on my Intel Mac?

    I have a new Intel iMac. I want to partition my hard drive, install OS9 and run the old system. I know I can't use "classic" on 10.4.7 but I wonder if I could simply install OS9 and reboot my computer. I don't need to move between the two, meaning I don't need to work in OS9 then instantly click and be in 10.4.7. I can deal with the inconvenience of rebooting.
    I'm having 3 problems
    #1, I have an old version of Photoshop. I'll buy the newest Photoshop someday but the latest version wasn't made for Intel Macs and it is very expensive. $600. I wonder if it runs slow on Intel Macs. Maybe I should wait for the next version.
    #2 I have a great Epson printer (875 DC) but Epson has not updated the print drivers for this model and probably won't. OK fine I can buy a newer better photo printer $550.
    #3 I have a "Nikon Coolscan 4000" film Scanner $1,300. This scanner is great in OS9 but the thing never worked in OS10 and now that I have this Intel iMac I downloaded the latest software update and the thing still doesn’t work and if the computer sleeps while the Nikon software is open it won't wake up and I have to restart.
    To sum everything up, can I run OS9 on my Intel iMac? I don't care if I have to work in OS9 then shut down and restart to work in 10.4.7 Can this Intel iMac understand OS9. If I try to restart using OS9 as the startup disk will I damage the computer? Will I screw things up and have to spend hours and days removing files and correcting problems?
    I feel like this computer is a fresh clean new baby and I'm afraid that if I start messing around with it I'll regret it.

    Hello,
    I have a new Intel iMac. I want to partition my hard
    drive, install OS9 and run the old system. I know I
    can't use "classic" on 10.4.7 but I wonder if I could
    simply install OS9 and reboot my computer.
    The problem here, is that the OS 9 environment / Operating System will only run on a PowerPC processor.
    The only reason that OS X will run on either processor, is that it was specifically designed to do so from the beginning.
    But, OS 9 and older were specifically written for the PowerPC / Motorola processors.
    So, you will need a machine with a PowerPC processor to run OS 9.
    Currently, there is one program that will enable OS 9 to run on an Intel Mac. But, it requires making a copy of the Power Macintosh ROM. So, it's legal use is questionable at best.
    http://www.gibix.net/projects/sheepshaver/
    This program works by emulating the PowerPC processor. And, it is reported to operate at roughly 1/8-th of native speeds. So, it could be pretty slow for productive photo work.
    #1, I have an old version of Photoshop. I'll buy the
    newest Photoshop someday but the latest version
    wasn't made for Intel Macs and it is very expensive.
    $600. I wonder if it runs slow on Intel Macs. Maybe I
    should wait for the next version.
    If it is a Mac OS X version, then it will run on the Intel systems. But, yes it will be slower. Usable, but slower.
    I haven't tried this program, so I cannot personally comment on it. But, even Steve Jobs admitted it was slow on the Intel Macs.
    #2 I have a great Epson printer (875 DC) but Epson
    has not updated the print drivers for this model and
    probably won't. OK fine I can buy a newer better
    photo printer $550.
    OS X comes with drivers for the Epson Stylus Photo 875. They are provided by the Gimp-Print layer. But, installed / select just like any other printer. So, as long as you can connect the printer using USB, then you can select the driver for the 875 and be fine (as long as this is the same printer).
    Otherwise, some people have reportedly installed PowerPC print drivers without trouble. I haven't tried it myself.
    #3 I have a "Nikon Coolscan 4000" film Scanner
    $1,300. This scanner is great in OS9 but the thing
    never worked in OS10 and now that I have this Intel
    iMac I downloaded the latest software update and the
    thing still doesn’t work and if the computer sleeps
    while the Nikon software is open it won't wake up and
    I have to restart.
    Can't really help you there.
    To sum everything up, can I run OS9 on my Intel iMac?
    I don't care if I have to work in OS9 then shut down
    and restart to work in 10.4.7 Can this Intel iMac
    understand OS9. If I try to restart using OS9 as the
    startup disk will I damage the computer? Will I screw
    things up and have to spend hours and days removing
    files and correcting problems?
    As mentioned above, the only method currently available to use OS 9 on an Intel system is that SheepShaver program.
    But, I would not expect good results with it for your uses. And, it's legal status would be questionable since you need to copy a ROM file from another Mac to use it (which goes against Apple's license agreement).
    I feel like this computer is a fresh clean new baby
    and I'm afraid that if I start messing around with it
    I'll regret it.
    Just make sure you have a good backup of everything before you start experimenting.
    I hope this helps.

  • Logic on intel mac ?

    Hello
    now that we know there will be Intel Macs on sale in less than a year i was wondering if an intel version of Logic was in the work.
    I would immediatly buy an intel powerbook, but not if Logic isn't released at the same time.
    Adobe said Photoshop for intel mac would be released in the end of 2006/ beginning of 2007 . what about Logic ?
    thanks

    Anything posted at this time would be considered rumour or speculation as there are no formal announcements from Apple. Remember that Apple said that there will be Intel based units.

  • Intel Mac Mini networked to G4?

    Hi there!
    Can I connect the new Intel Mac mini to a network containing an old Mac G4 dual running OSX.3.9, and if so will I be able to access files from either computer despite the different operating systems? Also, can I install and run all my old office based software onto the Mac mini (Word, Filemaker, Photoshop, Cleaner 6 etc) and will I notice a significant drop in performance under Rosetta?
    Many thanks!

    Microsoft Office for Mac will work under Rosetta, and although it should take a lot of time to load, performance should be correct (comparable to a single G4). I don't know about Filemaker, but Photoshop will definitely be slower on a Core Duo than on a Dual G4, and no Universal version is planned until 2007 ...
    I don't know what Cleaner 6 is, but if it's a maintenance application, you should check that it is Tiger-compatible, and if there are any issues with Intel Macs (if possible, trying to find a Universal version would be preferable). Some maintenance utilities cause issues/mess up on systems with a newer OS (because they work "under the hood") so they have to be updated ...

  • Classic on a Intel Mac

    At the moment only garbage freeware and shareware emulators exist. Does anyone know when a commercial Classic solution will be around? Until one comes, I will remain using a PPC Mac. I just have WAY WAY WAY to many Mac OS 7.x-9.x apps to move.
    Many of these apps never have and never will be upgraded again. I must run them, as I have no OSX replacements, and in many cases cannot afford an upgrade (Photoshop is one example).
    Thanks,
    John

    I was going to mention the joy of backwards compatability that PC owners enjoy but I thought one more item and I'll start to sound like a raving lunatic. Perhaps too late.
    "Geez, check out the poor Classic dweeb." they'll say.
    "Rave on!" I say.
    My work is forcing me into a corner however. I'm getting DVD-Rs from clients that my old beast can't even recognize. Buy a new DVD-ROM? I did... drivers only for OS 10. Now I may not even be able to use the system DVD if I do upgrade.
    For me buying that first Mac was partly a form of protest but mostly it was fear of being out of step and incompatible with the Graphic Design industry. Now I work for agencies that can't open my files because they're running Lotus or something. But I still don't want to give up on the Mac!
    I don't think we're alone in our dilema. I've got hungry mouths to feed. A new computer is a major investment for me. I want to invest in something that will last (like a Mac) and not have to play the trade-in game every 6 months (Jaguar anyone?) to keep current. I've stalled about as long as I can.
    Problem is that Macs are no longer happy being the computer of the underdog. These new Intel Macs are going to tempt a lot of folks who are working graphics or film on PCs and the wealthier than thou Mac owners are going to welcome these lovely Intel chips with open wallets. It's a great move! Think of all of the frustrated Mac owners who can finally view all of those WMV files that they patiently downloaded in the dead of night in a plain brown wrapper. Personally I'd sell the dog for a chance to play old Dungeon Keeper. But it's the new market that calls to Apple and they've forgotten those of us that made the hard choice of quality over compatibility. You want to know where Apple's head is? Just look at the choice of personal avatars for this discussion section... looks like a catalog. I almost picked the rubber ducky. I just can't relate my own self image to a side view of an iMac can you?

  • Going from a PPC to an Intel Mac

    Will OS 10.8 Mountain Lion support PPC apps (those I've been running on OS 10.3 up to 10.5.8 Leopard)? I think they will run also on OS 10.6 Snow Leopard, but can't confirm until I have an Intel Mac (needed to run OS 10.6). If OS 10.8 will not support them, will OS 10.7 Lion? I Know that 10.9 Maverick will not.

    Thanks, Lyssa for your reply
    A good portion of the software you're running probably has an Intel-compatible version at this point.
    That's true, except for one really important CAD app I need. My CAD app (Canvas X) was no longer upgraded for Mac starting about 2007. It has been upgraded only for Windows. I think this is about the same time that Mac completed its switch from PPC to Intel, which most likely explains the unwillingness of my CAD company to upgrade. I'm reluctant to attempt running a Windows CAD app on a Mac, using Bootcamp or Parallels.
    Much better I think is to get the latest MacBook that will run OS 10.6
    Try running Canvas X in Snow Leopard Server installed into Parallels for use in Mavericks.
    Here is Adobe CS2 Photoshop (PowerPC) running in SLS in Parallels:
