Photoshop Elements 4 - Mac versus Windows versions

I downloaded a trial of PE4 onto my Windows machine at work and found it really impressive - great interface, easy to navigate and some great features. On the back of this I bought the Mac version by download, but have found that it is different in several areas, with much poorer navigation and other bits 'missing' such as the pan and zoom effects in slideshow mode.
Has anyone else found similar or am I just not looking in the right places?
I have to say, good programme that it is, I'm dissapointed with it compared to the Windows version. Performance wise I'm happy enough though. It's certainly as fast as the Windows one.

Yes, in many ways the Mac version is superior to the Windows version. In PE 4, for example, you get Bridge (as you would with full PS) as opposed to the Organizer, which is not really any better than iphoto. As suzuken said, Adobe assumes that with iphoto you wouldn't want Organizer too. I myself hate being forced to use the organizer in Windows.
For instance, on the mac you can create a contact sheet and save it, while in the Organizer, you have to print your contact sheet right away and recreate it again next time. It's true the mac version only has the simple pdf slideshow, but iphoto makes slideshows at least as competently as Organizer (and doesn't force you to output WMV files).
As for Universal--each version of PE is based on the current version of PS. According to Bruce Chizen, Adobe's CEO, there won't be a universal version of PS until PS CS3, due in Q2 of 2007, so it will be after that before there's a universal version of PE.

  • Photoshop element 9 Mac englisch Windows 8.1

    I Have Photoshop elements 9 (Mac englisch) but my Mac crasht now i have an laptop with Windows 8.1 can i change it so my Photoshop is availible for my laptop?

    Usually not unless you bought the boxed version originally. If you did, you can download the windows version here:
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7
    But otherwise, downloads usually have serial numbers that work only one platform, so you'd need to buy a new version or the upgrade version, whichever is a better deal where you are.

    The only simple and practical sharing solution would be to store both your image library and your catalog on an external drive that you can plug in alternatively on both computers.

  • I bought the wrong version of Photoshop elements. I bought Windows, I need Mac.

    I purchased a download version of Windows Elements. I need MAC. How do I switch it?

    Have you got the serial number? That can be used on both Mac and Windows versions.
    All you need to do is download the Mac trial version from the Adobe website, install it and enter your serial number.

  • Will Photoshop Elements Premiere 11 for Windows work on Mac?

    I bought Photoshop Elements Premiere 11 for Windows download from Dell, registered it with Adobe and downloaded it onto my Mac. But it won't open up without the right application. What application? And where do I get that? Or do I need some patch so the Windows version will work on Mac?

    the windows version won't work on a mac unless you install a windows emulator and install it on that.
    even easier, you can use a cross-grade:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platform-language-swap.htm l

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • What versions of Photoshop Elements are compatible with Windows 8?

    What versions of Photoshop Elements are compatible with Windows 8?

    Microsoft advises that all versions of PSE except versions 1, 3, 5 & 6 will work with Windows 8. The best option is a new computer with W8 and then do a clean install of Elements. Some difficulties may arise if upgrading the operating system on top of existing software. In those circumstances make sure you have your original disks or your download package, in case a re-install is necessary.
    Microsoft Windows 8 compatibility.

  • Photoshop Elements for Mac - Three Versions Installed

    Hi there,
    I'm cleaning up stuff on my iMac and find I have three purchased versions of PhotoShop Elements for Mac installed, V4, V6 and now V8.  Can I safely remove the old V4 and V6 versions without them affecting anything in V8?
    Also, there are other versions of related software, such as Adobe Bridge, then Adobe Bridge CS3 and CS4.  Can the original and CS4 versions be removed.
    What else might have multiple versions relating to Photoshop Elements?
    Can I remove these by simply deleting them from the Applications or is there a process which needs to be followed, i.e., an Uninstall?
    Guidance much appreciated.
    Lynn

    "Never delete anything, just buy a bigger hard drive"!
    After I admit to being "slightly eccentric", let me say I don't know why you even need to uninstall any of them. The only caveat there is you can't run two versions simultaneously.  I have PSE- 5 & 7 installed on one of my computers, and I import the same file into both catalogs, while duplicating the folders on a separate HDD also. You can never be to sure, or is that too insecure, I'm not really sure.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 mac license number on windows not working

    Hello,
    I would like to install Photoshop Elements 9 on my Windows PC, I successfully deactivated Photoshop on my old mac, but the installer on windows keeps telling me that the serial number is invalid.
    Thank you
    Vito

    Suggest that you delete preferences:
    Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file may be damaged. You can restore all preferences to their defaults.
    Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file. 
    A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements. For information on a specific preference option, search for the preference name in Help.
