Photoshop Elements 3 and Lion does not work

Hello~
This is my first time posting here, so I would really appreciate any help you may offer.
I have an older version of PSE (3) and have just upgraded my Macbook Pro to Lion. Of course, my Photoshop elements no longer works.
I have gone to their help pages and ran the script they suggested. Restarted my computer and still no luck.
I have also found other websites that suggested deleting some files in my library and restarting, or moving my PSE application to my desktop to get it to ask me to repair the application - but it still just said "You cannot open PSE 3 because PowerPC is no longer supported."
Any suggestions? It would be great to be able to continue to use my program!
Or is the only way to use PSE to buy a newer version? If so, which one works on Lion?
I appreciate your help,
Thank you,
krm2000

  It will still work on an old Power PC so perhaps no need to throw PSE3 away.
For intel based systems I would recommend PSE8, 9 or 10 although only purchases of PSE10 now come with Adobe support.

    Peter Lindgren do you receive any specific error messages when you attempt to install Photoshop 7 or Photoshop Elements?  What version of Photoshop Elements are you installing?

    Hi Nealeh
    Thanks i think I got it working of a fashion.
    Except the replace colour, does not seem to end up with the colour I picked using the picker tool. Its as though it hads not replaced the colour but blended in the desired colour with the old incorrect colour!
    Buy trial and error picking not the right colour but close - which when mixed with the existing colour is close.
    Sorry I can't post the pictures as the Lingerie Mfg, has me under non disclosure.
    The scenario is:-  say a blonded mainly tanned model a high cut [at the hips] corsette style basque, with an ultra low bra line.
    Our dear model, has just come back from St Barts with a fabulous Tan, and equally striking bold Tan lines!.
    So we have great tanned legs, then the 'porcelain white band' where her swimsuit was.
    Likewise we have a tanned face, and arms, shoulders etc and a great tan on the top of the cleavage, then it stops, white band to the top of the ultralow cut bra line of the basque.
    She must have lived in like the most conservative bikini on the planet [50's style], for 2 weeks!
    Had she had a normal skimpy bikini on, no problem!
    If i don't solve it, she will get fired!
    Not a lack of interest in your post, but I was out, and tried to log in to this site; which I could do, on my iPad Air / 5 [whatever its the new one]. And tried to 'sign in' - but it just hung at the
    "Join Adobe Community" adobe sign in splash screen! with he little whell spinning around continuously!!!
    I have Safari on this iPad. Guess that is all it runs.
    So technology is not my friend today!

  • Adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version

    adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version.HELP
    If I try to register 4 boxes circle endlessly.Why should I have to register editor separately from organizer?

    jaroFocb'15 wrote:
    This is almost the same as the problem I had. I'm my case the Editor installed but not the Organizer! Adobe chat told me they no longer have chat or any other services for Elements 12. I guess they want people to buy their new Elements 13, but that leaves us in a bad place and doesn't say much for how Adobe cares about their customers After it moves on to their next version. I posted a message like yours over a week ago, and only got one email from an Adobe staff person, asking me to answer a couple of clarifying questions, but he never followed up on my response, so my problem is still unresolved. If you are luckier and are given a solution please let me know what it is -- it might work for me too, and I'd be very grateful!  My email:  [email protected]  
    Good luck.
    Have you checked whether you have folder for PSE Organizer?  It is normally at this location in Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1:
    <C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer>
    If the folder is there then try double-clicking on the file called:  PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe
    If the folder isn't there at all then you need to re-install the package again using your original disks or from download from Adobe website.  <Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
    Hope this helps.

    It is not clear what you mean.  Normally one does not generate a serial number, it is provided with the purchase.

  • Having trouble 'replacing colour' in Photoshop Elements 12 + help does not work?

    I was trying to use the 'replace colour' function as found by going :-
    Enhance >
    Adjust Colour > 
    Replace Colour
    Not knowing how it worked, I tried the context sensitive help in light blue. 'Learn More About'
    This would not load but gave me this response:-
    Access Denied
    You don't have permission to access "http://helpx.stage.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/adjusting-color-saturation-hue-vibra nce.html" on this server. 
    Reference #18.6d011002.1389010855.24c28f95
    This 'help' seems to work everywhere else [well at least in the places I have tried so far.]
    So why is this? has anyone else had this specific area of HELP fail?  I need to know is it just my system, is it accessing this HELP stuff over the net, or is it preloaded when you by the retail pack?
    Course it would be in an area I can not make work!
    Note Other areas of help in this general menu area work eg
    i.e. the options either side of this all work fine.
    Any views guidance welcome.
    Other than reload the product! LOL I just don't have a spare week to waste getting it all going again!

  • In choosing folders to merge in photoshop elements CTRL-click does not work

    I cannot use CTRL-click or SHIFT-click to chosee multiple folders for merging.  How do I select multiple folders?

    Thank you for your suggestion.
    I am using PSE13
    I mistakenly created dozens of subfolders and wish to merge them.  I tried placing my cursor on the name of the subfolder as you suggest.  CTRL-click or SHIFT-click on another name of the subfolder chooses that folder but then un-chooses the previous one. 
    Any other suggestions?
