Photoshop elements compared to old photoshop 7?

Hi, I've just updated my macbook pro, and cant put my old photshop 7 onto it. really cant warrent spending on the expensive version of photoshop, so am thinking of elements. So, just wanted to see if anyone could help with a few questions. All i need photoshop for is for cropping, a bit of re-touching, and for desinging very simple layouts (for small adverts, cards etc) with some text on, thats it really. all very easy to do in 7, so would elements do for me?
thanks very much.

It probably would, but the best advice i can give is to download the 30
day trial version of photoshop elements 9 and see if it does.

How do I transfer Photoshop Elements 10 from old computer to new laptop

How do I transfer Photoshop Elements 10 from old computer to new laptop?

You need to installed it in the same way as you did on old machine.
If you like to save one instance of the license then please do de-activate while uninstalling.
Or if you have already used your "Two" instances of installation then you must need to de-activate one of the machine while
uninstalling so it will release the instance for new installation.

I own a version of Photoshop CS2 which is no longer supported. Do I have to purchase Photoshop Elements because the newer photoshops are cost prohibitive?

Do I have to purchase Photoshop Elements because the newer photoshops are cost prohibitive?

Do you mean CS2 won't run on your present operating system?
Admittedly CS2 is rather old and Adobe no longer supports it, but it should still run on older operating systems. Which OS do you have?
Elements is one option. However if you want PS Extended with all the bells & whistles, look at the $10/mo Photography plan which includes Lightroom.

Do you have to purchase Photoshop Elements in addition to Photoshop Lightroom?

I currently have Photoshop Lightroom 5. I am attempting to use the stamp option in the sketch filter. I can't find it in Lightroom. Upon investigating, I believe that you must use an external editor such as Photoshop Elements. Is this correct? Do you need to purchase this as well?

These are separate programs which can be purchased individually or in combination, your choice. Many people use Lightroom for organizing and editing, and then they also use Photoshop Elements for additional editing power which goes beyond the feature set of Lightroom. Since Lightroom does not have a stamp option in the sketch filter (it doesn't even have a sketch filter), this would be a case where if you needed to do that you would have to use Photoshop Elements or the full Photoshop.

Encore 1.5 Links to Photoshop Elements 7 instead of Photoshop CS3

My platform is Windows XP Pro and I am using Encore DVD 1.5. I also have installed Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop Elements 7, the latter primarily for its cataloging abilty of digital media. When I click on an Encore menu to "Edit in Photoshop," Photoshop Elements opens instead of Photoshop CS3. There is no preferences option in Encore 1.5 to select which Photoshop application to open. Is there a Registry entry that would allow me to open Photoshop CS3 to edit Encore 1.5 menus?

Right-click any .psd file on your system and choose "Open With..."
Tell Windows to use PSCS3 and then check the little box that says to use this program all the time for this type of file.

Hi eclayton18,
It's recommended to uninstall the older version before installing the new software if you dont intend to use the older version.
But if you want to use both versions you can install and have both on the same machine.

Is Photoshop Elements the same as Photoshop? I am brand new and have no idea if they are the same or different or what!

Photoshop Elements is a subset of the features found in full Photoshop, and with an organizing component that isn't part of the big program (which includes a deluxe file browser, Bridge, rather than the Organizer found in Elements). More info here:

Upgrade Photoshop Elements 12 (Mac) to Photoshop CC

I've decided I want to upgrade from Photoshop Elements (Mac) 12 to Photoshop CC, and am wondering if there are any "gotchas" I should be aware of prior to committing to this change?
I wouldn't have any need for Photoshop Elements after the upgrade, and I'm wondering, for example, if I should deinstall this application before upgrading to Photoshop CC?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi mhosborn,
It's always recommended to uninstall the older version of the software before installing the newer one if you don't intend to use it.
After uninstalling you can go ahead and install the newer version.

How to install Lightroom and Photoshop Elements from my old pc to my new pc?

I have a new pc and want to install Lightroom 5.7 and Photoshop Elements 12 from my old pc to the new one.

For LR here is a useful link:
http://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-move-lightroom-to-new-computer/
There is also a video tutorial which covers moving a LR catalog to a new computer:
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/how-to-migrate-lr-to-an other-computer/
For Elements you can simply install the application and then set up the Elements Editor for external editing in the LR Library prefs. I’m assuming you won’t be using Oranizer as well as LR. That can lead to confusion and broken links unless you are very disciplined.
If you do intend to use Organizer the method is backup and restore, starting with an Organizer backup on the old PC.

Photoshop Elements 12 and old pdd files

Does Photoshop Elements 12 convert pdd files to jpeg??? I have a whole CD full of old family photos that were scanned in .pdd format and now I can't open them. Will upgrading from Elements 2.0 to 12 solve my problem?

Photoshop elements 12 should open the photodeluxe files.
Below are two .pdd files saved from photodeluxe 1 on my mac OS 7.6.1
Opened in pse 12 on windows 7
Probably the reason your photoshop elements 2 won't work on windows 8 is the hard drive is bigger than 1 TB and pse 2 can't read hard drives (free space)
over 1 TB.

Need help Deactivating Photoshop Elements 9 on old computer

Okay, so, here we go.
Originally I had Elements 9 installed on my old computer, but that computer suffered a massive hardware failure and I am unable to deactivate Elements 9 on it.
On this computer I am currently using I have Elements 9 on it as well.
However, I have a new computer that I would like to have Photoshop Elements 9 on, but cannot due to having two active instances of the program on 2 other computers.
I have tried deactivating the program on this computer, but am unable to do so due to Photoshop.com no longer being supported and moved over to Adobe Revel, so I am unable to SIGN IN TO DEACTIVATE THE PRODUCT ON THIS COMPUTER.
I've PAID for this product. I don't want to have to pay fistfuls of money just for an updated version I don't even like, I want my PSE9.
Does anyone know of any way that I could deactivate the program so that I may use the activation key on my new computer instead? Because it's 2 days from no longer working.
I've tried contacting an Adobe agent through live chat, but I sat there for at least an hour with nobody ever showing up in the chat.
I just want to continue using the program I PAID FOR. This is ridiculous. I can't even USE one of the computers it'[s activated on any longer, and this current computer is so old that PSE9 lags on it when I try to draw something.

Only the adobe agents can do this. You will just have to tough it out with the chat session.

Transferring photoshop elements from an old windows7 laptop to a new windows 8.1 laptop

I recently had to upgrade from a laptop running Windows 7 to a whole new laptop running Windows 8.1 I had been running Photoshop Elements only a few months and was still learning all that it can do.
It would be another six months before I can buy a whole new copy of Photoshop Elements.
Is there a way I can upgrade that is do-able without starting over?

The original license is for two installations.
Have you tried installing PSE on your new computer? If so, what happens?

How do you move collections from Photoshop Elements 5.0 to Photoshop Elements 13?

I have an old laptop with Photoshop elements 5.0 and wanted to move that program to my newer PC but the program was too old so I bought and loaded Photoshop Elements 13 on my PC. To import my photos from the 5.0 I did a full backup on a flash drive and then loaded the pictures to the PC with 13. The pictures are there but none of my collections from 5.0. I read the manual and said I was supposed to be prompted to convert old catalogs. I was never prompted and do not know how to transfer my collections in my catalog from 5.0 to the 13.

What you are doing is not only to install a newer version of PSE, it's also to migrate to a new computer.
The general solution is to do a full organizer backup on an external drive and do an organizer restore to the new computer (or new drive).
Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later
The problem is that since PSE5 is an old version working with a different database engine, you must first use a conversion utility to create a PSE13 version.

So read that paper carefully, do the backup restore and conversion as described.
