Photoshop Elements 6 on a Mac  OSX versus Windows Vista

I have finally given up trying to come up with a printing work around for PSE6 (and Aperture and Lightroom) on the Mac. Use of ICC profiles invariably results in dark prints (double colour proofing). I love my MacBook Pro and I cannot understand why Apple, Adobe and Epson (I have an R1900) cannot come up with a solution. When I edit files in PSE 6, save them in PSD format and then print them on my PC using PSE 2 and the same ICC and printer set up (no colour adjustment), the prints are colour perfect. I do have a calibrated monitor and I am using the latest R1900 driver (that said, I am confused why the Epson 6.60 driver shows as 6.38 in preferences). Will Adobe UK transfer my PSE 6 licence from a Mac to a PC, and how do I go about it? Many thanks.

>Will Adobe UK transfer my PSE 6 licence from a Mac to a PC, and how do I go about it?
No, not now. They do offer a crossgrade. but only if you have the current version. Since you only have PSE 6 and not PSE 7 there's just no point, since Adobe would make you pay the "upgrade" cost, and you can usually find PSE 7 for much less than the adobe price.

  • Why wont Photoshop Elements 8 run on Mac OSX 10.9.4? I keep getting the Error Code 150:30

    I recently got a new laptop, an Mac Book Pro OSX 10.9.4, and transfered Photoshop Elements 8 to it along with all my other files and programs. When I tried to run Photoshop Elements 8 it said that files were missing and that I needed to re install it. After I re installed it I got an error message 150:30. After restarting the computer there was no change. I still cannot run Adobe photoshop 8 on my laptop. The fixes on the troubleshooting page dosn't seem relevent to my issue.

    Then you will need to download and run this:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
    after which you can manually remove all the bits you can find. Look not only in applications but in hard drive>library>application support>adobe and in your username>library>preferences. Spotlight will not help with these searches. If you need help finding either of those libraries, post back.

  • Can I use a Photoshop Elements 6 code for MAC on a Windows PC?

    Can I use APE6 MAC code on APE6 software for windows? or are the codes for MAC different to Windows?

    If it's from a disc, you probably can.  Try it.

  • ? Photoshop Elements 8 Organizer won't open on Windows Vista ?

    I installed Photoshop Elements 8 onto a Windows Vista computer and registered. The Organizer opened with broken thumbnails throughout and I could not update the thumbnails. Therefore, I closed the Organizer and opened it again, hoping it would clear up. Instead, the Organizer would not open at all, and I've not been able to open the Organizer since.
    Despite several Support cases, Tech Support could not help. They said to uninstall Elements and reinstall it, but when I uninstalled, the disc software screen said I must first deactivate my serial # by launching Elements 8 and going to Help > Deactivate.
    However, when I launched Elements 8, a screen appeared with a choice of either a free trial or to enter my serial #. I entered my serial # and got a red "X", and it would not accept the serial #. Tech Support said there is nothing wrong with my serial #.
    Tech Support then said to download the Trial Version. I did that, but could not open the trial version either!
    Message:
    "Files in use. Some files that needed to be updated are currently in use."
    "The following applications are using files that need tro be updated by this setup.
    Close these applications and click Retry to continue.
    Organizer - Photoshop Elements"
    So it thinks my Organizer is open and using files, and it's not open. I can't get it to open!
    I clicked RETRY and got the same message.
    I clicked IGNORE and it was installing files, got almost to the end, said "registering product", then said "rolling back action" and started going backwards.
    I had uninstalled my Elements 7 software because I intended to now use Elements 8. I decided to reinstall Elements 7 to use that while I was dinking around with version 8, and now it gave me the same message:
          the serial # is in error, or is already in use by someone else!
    Now I can't use either 7 or 8.
    HELP! Does anyone know how to deactivate a serial # when the software has already been uninstalled? Can it be done?

    Hi Ankush
    Thank you for your reply!
    Unfortunately, I can't try out your suggestion until next summer, because in early November I moved to my winter home in Florida. I left my Vista computer in Colorado Springs in its sorry state of nonworking Adobe Elements versions 7 and 8. I took the software discs with me.
    When I arrived in Florida I bought a new computer.  I had left Colorado without being able to deactivate the Elements 8 serial number, so would not be able to use that software disc in Florida. Therefore, I asked Adobe for a refund. (Some of the tech support cases regarding the problem were still open and unanswered.)  Adobe replied that the month warrranty had run out so they wouldn't give me a refund. I argued a little, then gave up.
    Therefore, I bought a new Elements 8 software program. And the old XP Florida computer contains Elements 7 and I have the disc.
    The new problem: I must know how to DEACTIVATE a serial number before I dare install the new Elements 8 softtware, in case anything goes wrong, or in case I have to reinstall Windows 7 for some reason, which would wipe out any 3rd-party software. I also must know how to DEACTIVATE the Elements 7 serial number on my old XP computer so that I can install it on my new computer.
    I opened a CHAT session with Adobe and asked how exactly to do this, because their FAQs and other information aren't at all clear. Here's what the tech said to do. Launch Adobe. You will see "Help" on the "toolbar". Click "help" and select "deactivate". Well, all I get when I launch is a Welcome Screen and there is no toolbar with help there. So I thought, maybe he means, open the Organizer or Editor and look for the Help menu. I opened the Organizer, clicked on Help, and there was no deactivate option listed. So I opened the Editor and clicked on Help and there was no deactivate option listed.
    I just opened a case with Adobe asking what I have to do to deactivate a serial number. I don't see why they can't explain this.
    Have you any idea how this is done?

  • Transfer from Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows XP to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 on the Mac.

    I want to transfer from Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows XP to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 on the Mac. My problem is I have lost my catalog and Windows XP.  I need help.
    I have installed the newest Mac version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 (PSE 12 Mac) and it seems to work fine but I have not been able to access my old (XP, PSE6) catalog file.
    I am working on a MacBook Air running OSX version 10.9.2.  I have been using Parallels Desktop 9 Switch-to-Mac-Edition™ to run Windows virtual machines.  I had been working for over a year running Photoshop Elements 6 on Windows XP virtual machine.  The XP operating system was updated to 2/28/14.
    When I installed Windows 8, the Parallels program initially offered me a choice of virtual machines, Window XP or Windows 8.  I could use the XP version to work with Photoshop Elements 6 as before and thought I could be leisurely about transferring my Photoshop operations to the Mac side.
    However, without my knowingly doing anything to dispose of Windows XP, I have “lost” Windows XP.  Perhaps it occurred when I updated to Windows 8.1.  At any rate, now I have access only to Windows 8.1. 
    To compound the problem the Time Machine backup program for the Mac was not backing up the XP virtual machine files as I had thought.   I have since corrected the settings but I do not have a copy of Windows XP nor of the Adobe Photoshop Elements catalog which I used in the past.
    Moreover, I do not have a workable Windows XP disk; the only one I could find is from Dell and it does not load on my MacBook Air.  I see Windows XP disks offered by Amazon for about $30 and have thought about buying a copy to help see if I could  accomplish the transfer of the catalog file to my Mac.  I would use XP only to accomplish this transfer.
    I am not completely confident that reinstalling Windows XP would actually enable me to do the transfer and I can foresee potential big problems. Therefore, before taking that step I thought that I would check with you to see if there is a way to find the catalog file and perhaps to modify it so that I could work in the Mac Environment.
    I have used Elements to improve and organize over a thousand travel and family photos taken with a pocket size digital camera.  Being a nonprofessional, I have edited mainly by cropping and using Quick Fix but have many hours invested.  Yes,  I still have the originals and probably could have redone much of that work with the time I have invested in trying to find the missing XP and catalog.
    I have found two large HDS files (Windows XP.hdd and Windows XP (2).hdd) that were created 7/15/12.  I suspect they may be important but am not sure what they are.   I read that HDS files are commonly Windows media digital rights management files, DRMs.   HDS files may also be used by hierarchical data systems.  Do the names suggest anything about Photoshop?
    Can you help me find the catalog and transfer it for use with the Mac Adobe Photoshop Elements 12?

  • How do I install Photoshop Elements 6 on the Mac-mini?

    How do I install Photoshop Elements 6 on the Mac-mini? I keep getting the following message:
    x Installation cannot continue until the following applications are closed:
    flash_server
    Please close the application(s) listed above and click "Try Again" to continue the installation. Click Cancel to exit Setup.
    How can I resolve this problem without screwing anything up? Your help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Your right. It won't make any sense to subscribe for a software that I don't own. I have CS5 on my Dell Laptop which has been giving me issues, so I re-installed the Operating System along with all my editing programs and nothing more. So I can toggle between the Mac and the PC to get the job done in the meantime. I will eventually get CS6 for the Mac.

  • My Adobe trial for Photoshop Elements 10 for the Mac was over and I wanted to buy the application. The screen message was "Your trial has expired...but the fun doesn't have to end! Buy now to continue using Photoshop Elements 10 without having to download

    My Adobe trial for Photoshop Elements 10 for the Mac was over and I wanted to buy the application. The screen message was "Your trial has expired...but the fun doesn't have to end! Buy now to continue using Photoshop Elements 10 without having to download or re-install. " and then the button "Buy Now". When I hit the Buy Now button I am put in a field to buy Photoshop Elements 13, with no way to change to Elements 10. I do not want to go through the hassle of reinstalling etc. In fairness, it's been over a month since making the decision to buy. Still, I consider this a nightmare. Any ideas on how to buy the app I've got withou having to purchase a whole new one? Thanks.
    If worse comes to worse, will I need to uninstall the trial if I buy a new version? Can I use part of it lime download assistant?

    Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.  If you wish to purchase an older version you will have to find and take your chances with a third party vendor.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 installed on Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5. Application running successfully on bot main user and administrative accounts for considerable time with no warning messages. When established a new user account on same computer and try to call up

    Photoshop Elements 11 installed on Mac Mini OS X 10.9.5. Application running successfully on bot main user and administrative accounts for considerable time with no warning messages. When established a new user account on same computer and try to call up elements receive message “Some ot the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application.” How do I correct this problem without disturbing application in main user account?

    Brooks lansing if you create a new Administrator account does the same issue occur?  If so then it is likely that there is a file permission failure and file permissions have been set for the existing Users instead of the groups they belong to.
    Have you removed and reinstalled Photoshop Elements 11?  This may reset the file permissions to the correct state to allow it to work under new accounts.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements to a Power Mac G5

    Hallo
    Is it still possible to buy a version of Photoshop elements to a Power Mac G5 with a PowerPC CPU?
    If yes - What is the version called, and where to buy?

    PSE 6 would be the latest version. Adobe doesn't sell it, but you might find a copy someplace else.

  • I just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 for a Mac and trying to install. I am at the point to enter the serial number but it won't take letters. What do I do and where do I go for help?

    I just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 for a Mac and trying to install. I am at the point to enter the serial number but it won't take letters. What do I do and where do I go for help?

    If the code you are trying to enter has letters then you are not looking at a serial number.  A serial number only contains numbers - 6 sets of 4 numbers.
    Find your serial number quickly
    You might be dealing with a redemption code.  This is especially so if you purchased it from a store or the like.
