Photoshop Elements 9 Editor from Mac App Store - Specifics

I have a user who can't install a set of actions.
The installation of 3rd party actions so they will show up in the panels of Elements requires something to trigger a rebuild of the UI, and typically that can be done by removing the file ThumbDatabase.db3 from the folder /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/9.0.
This user has a Mac running Lion, would like to install the actions, but the folder mentioned above simply does not exist. Nor does a system-wide search turn up a ThumbDatabase.db3 any place else.

Sorry, I meant the enclosing folder.
I'm not sure what you mean by that. If 9.0 doesn't exist, nothing under it exists. I must not be understanding you correctly.
Normally one expects to find these files. The .db3 files normally get auto-regenerated at Elements startup if they're missing.

The above was generated from an installation of the Elements 9 package from Adobe.com, not the Apple Store.
Notably the download from the App Store is about half the size (1 GB vs. 2 GB). Unfortunately, I don't see a "try before you buy" capability there, and I'd like to do a little more research before spending the $80 to buy another copy of Elements 9 from the App Store.

Update Photoshop Elements 9 from mac app store

Hi!
I have been using the PSE 9 Editor from the Mac App Store for a few years. Mostly for editing RAW files from my canon DSLR.
However, I just bought a mirrorless Olympus E-PL5, and the CameraRAW that comes with PSE9 will not open the RAW files from it.
There are updates to both PSE9 and CameraRaw on the adobe website, but none of these work with the Mac App Store Version.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
-Fred

Frankly, it's generally a bad deal to buy the app store version of PSE. Aside from the difficulties updating, you can't install anything that involves deleting mediaDatabase.db3, and once a new version of PSE is available in the app store there's no way to download older versions again. Adobe does make older versions available on their site for download, but they don't recognize your apple ID as a serial number.
EDIT and you pay a premium--you can usually find the boxed version for much less than the app store price if you shop around.

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

Did you buy the Editor only version? Here's the product comparison - Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 - Buying guide.
[EDIT] Actually it seems you can ONLY buy the Editor only version via the App Store. Here's an explanation why (scroll down to the fourth section) - Purchases through Mac App Store FAQ.[/EDIT]

Is there somewhere I can access Elements 9 Editor from Mac App Store?

I need a copy of Elements 9 Editor from the Mac App Store to do some product testing. I know it is discontinued old version however it must be possible to access it somewhere/somehow? I am happy to purchase if I can find it!!
Thanks

I am not aware of anywhere that you can still purchase Elements 9. It's too old.
You can download a trial version from
http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-9-premiere-elements-9-direct-download-links.h tml
However you'll only be able to use it for 30 days since you do not have a serial number and there's no way of buying one that I know of.

Can't open NEF from Nikon 1V1 in PS Elements 10 from Mac App store

I have the PSE 10 in the Mac App store version. NEF files from my Nikon D700 opens fine. The NEF files from my Nikon 1V1 don't.

Well, the thing with the app store version is that apple doesn't let developers set things up to update any way except through the app store (i.e, a whole new version every time, which adobe probably doesn't care to do just to update acr). You will need to update ACR manually. The directions are in this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4106477
That's for an older version, but you do it the same way for newer ones. You can just install the plug-in itself, if you don't mind not having the lens profiles, etc.

I recently purchased PS Elements Editor 12 (mac app store edition). All existing PSDs layers with text or logos are pixelated on edges?

I can't figure out how/where to fix this. Any help?

to clarify, also if i add a new layer of text and turn off on/off anti-aliasing it is still pixelated.

Hi All
I have put mac os update from 10.9 to 10.9.5 from mac app store. Update wants restart and I do that. First it shows installing updates on monitor and then after waiting for more than 30 minutes, it did not restart. On monitor it shows no signal now. I have checked all the connections. Mac mini LED light is showing blue color and i think its signalled the ON mode. Also mouse lights are on. Please provide help, as I need to solve it asap.

Next reinstall the OS via Recovery

If you go to System Preferences > Network do you see other networks listed on the left panel? Is the lock in the lower left corner closed? If not, highlight your network, then close the lock so you block other networks.

If you need to reinstall Mac OS X 10.8.x (there is no 10.8.6 yet, by the way), restart your Mac, hold down the Option key so you see all the bootable partitons, and boot to the Recovery Partition. From there you can reinstall Mountain Lion. You will need a good Internet connection.

I can't download Pages from Mac App Store

I have been having some trouble in dowloading Page from Mac App Store.
I had dowloaded and used before, but recently I reinstalled the Mac OS.
When the download reachs amost 10MB, it restarts a few times and gives me the message: "Pages failed to download. Use the Purchases page to try again."
I tried both two following methods:
1 - open $TMPDIR/../C* and deleted com.apple.appstore
2 - Quit App Store.
Open Terminal.
Execute this: defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
Launch App Store.
At the Menu bar, there should be a "Debug".
Click on that and press "Reset Application"
Restart App Store.
But none of them worked for me.
Can anyone help me?
Cheers.

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.
Step 2
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
