Photoshop elements 8 from PC to Mac

Hello, I purchased Photoshop elements 8 and premiere elements 8 for PC and just changed my computer to Mac. How do i change the software to Mac? Thank you

Unfortunately, PSE 8 was single platform, so if you really want to stick with that version you will have the difficult process of trying to find a legitimate copy from someone (adobe won't sell it to you). But there is no organizer in PSE 8 for mac. If you are able to find a copy, write the tags and properties to the files in windows before bringing the photos to the mac. Then at least you'll have keywords from your tags.
If you decide to buy the current version of PSE, PSE 12 instead, and you have a catalog that you want to transfer to the mac, you should buy the boxed version of PSE 12, which includes both platforms. Then, first install PSE 12 in windows, upgrade your catalog and do a complete backup using the organizer's backup to a removable drive. Then install PSE on your mac and restore the catalog there.

  • How do I move photoshop elements 9 from an old mac to a new mac?

    I recently got a Macbook Air and I'm trying to move PSE from my old mac to this one. When I try to just move it from my external hard drive, I get error 6. Elements came with my bamboo tablet purchase, and I am like 98% sure I don't have a serial number. Am I royally screwed?

    Moving Adobe applications between machines seldom has positive results.  You need to install using installation files - you can download them from Adobe.  You should check your Adobe account online to see if you ever registered the software.  If you did then your serial number might be available there.  If you find it then you can use it to activate a downloaded installation.

  • Possible to update photoshop elements 8 from windows to Mac platform?

    I currently own photoshop elements 8 for the windows platform.  I now need to use this on my MacBook.  Is it possible to use my current serial number to download the installation or do I need to repurchase the product? 
    It seems that later versions of Elements come with compatibility to install on either platform but this isn't the case with mine.  I have one install CD for windows xp/vista/7
    Thanks

    No. For PSE 8 serial numbers were not cross platform. You could buy a crossgrade from adobe, but you would still have to pay the upgrade fee on top of the processing fee since adobe only ships the current version. So there's no point.

  • I have Photoshop Elements 10 on a new Mac, using Yosemite 10.1.1 - PE locks up every time I try to sign in. This software was restored to this computer from Time Machine after a theft of my old Mac. How can I fix this?

    I have Photoshop Elements 10 on a new Mac, using Yosemite 10.1.1 - PE locks up every time I try to sign in. This software was restored to this computer from Time Machine after a theft of my old Mac. How can I fix this? It keeps telling me that there are missing files, too. If I upgrade to Elements 12 or beyond, will this fix the problem?

    You can't sign in because there is nothing to sign in to. For PSE 10 the only sign in was to photoshop.com, which has been dead and gone for a year and half. Just skip the sign in. Reinstalling will not change this.

    PSE is locking up because it's looking interminably for the non-existent photoshop.com server.

  • How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

    How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

    I never did it from Windows to Mac.
    I assume you need to move everything to Mac PSE12 (or PSE 13) by downloading the 30 day free trial of PSE 12 or 13, and then once everything is working, use File->Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog in Lightroom. Your tags and albums will remain intact. I believe the face recognition transfers as well to keywords, but the location in the photo of the face will be gone as Lightroom has no such feature.

  • How do I transfer my photoshop elements 11 from my pc to my mac?

    How do I transfer my Photoshop Elements 11 from my pc to my mac?  If I try to download it off the website, it wants my to download Photoshop Elements 12 which doesn't recognize my seriel number.  I don't want to buy Photoshop Elements 12.  I want to use my Photoshope Elements 11.

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com

  • How can I transfer my Adobe Photoshop Elements catalog from my pc to my mac?

    What is the best way to move a Adobe Photoshop Elements catalog from a pc to a mac?

    You do know the mac version of PSE has no Organizer?
    You can use file>Write Tags and Properties to File(s) on your files in the organizer before sending them to your mac to write the tags into the file's metadata, which can be read by Bridge, iphoto, aperture, etc. on the mac. (It doesn't work for raw files and it doesn't always work, so do a couple of test files first.) You'll need to make tags for categories and albums, too, in order to be able to sort by those criteria again.

    Hi,
    Can you please confirm whether the volume on which you are installing Photoshop Elements is Case Sensitive or Case In-Sensitive? To find this out you will need to perform the following steps:
    1. Launch /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app
    2. Click on the Disk from the left panel (Not the Partition)
    3. Click on the Partition Tab
    4. Check the text that is written in the Format Tab. Is it Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)?
    If it is Case-sensitive, Journaled, then you will have to make this volume as Case-Insensitive by selecting Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as PSE is currently not supported on case sensitive volumes.
    Thanks,
    Tarun

Thanks Martin

    A single user license allows for having activated installations on two machines. An Elements license allows for either platform in many cases (recently not the case from what I've seen).  If you have the disc, see if it contains the Mac installation files... if it does then you should be able to install them via a download as well.  I cannot answer with certainty for the last question since it relies on the previous question.  Personally, I would not let an inexpensive piece of software dictate an expensive hardware purchase decision.
