Photoshop elements for iMac OSX 10.9.5

Which is the best version of Photoshop Elements to get for my new iMac 21.5" OSX 10.9.5. I have not installed Yosemite. Am using Mavericks.

While Photoshop Elements is nice and pretty good (it is a limited version of Photoshop after all) it is rather expensive for what it can do and for what it cannot do.
PIxelmator is nearly identical in function and in user interface elements to Photoshop and has more of the regular/standard features of full Photoshop for only $29.99 U.S.D. in the Mac App Store.
I highly reccommend this app over PS Elements, hands down.
Please check it out before deciding.

  • Photoshop Elements for Mac OSX 10.5.6 Version?

    I'm confused. Is there an Elements for Mac in Version 7. I called the sales line and they told me that for a Mac I would choose Version 6 for Mac??? Is Version 7 for Windows equal to Version 6 for Mac?
    Thanks!

    Yes, there is no version 7 for mac, but it doesn't really matter, since most of the changes between 6 and 7 were bug fixes in the organizer and the push to use photoshop.com. In the editor, there aren't huge differences between the two programs, just a couple of new tools. For 10.5.6 PSE 6 is the one you want, especially if you have an intel mac.

    All you should have to do is to go to the Adobe web site http://www.adobe.com.
    Sign in with your Adobe ID and Password.
    Then go the web page's Search field and type in "My Orders".
    Follow the "My Orders" link to your orders, find the order corresponding to the version in question.
    There should be an opportunity there to download a new set of installation files.
    Do you have your purchased serial number? If not, I am not sure if it will be included in the "My Orders"
    area. But, it should be in the "My Products" which you can access from the Search field. Click on the
    name of your product in "My Products", and the serial number should be revealed.
    Please let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.

  • 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.

    I have just installed Photoshop Elements for a MAC. MY photos were in iPhoto, I have 47,000 pictures and my drive on my Mac laptop is not large enough. I store my photos in iPhoto on an external drive. Can I store all my photos on an external drive when using Photoshop Elements? If so, in what format should they be stored in? I do I move them from iPhoto to the new storage location? How do I call them up in organizer? And how do I call them up to Edit? I do not want to store any pictures on my Apple Mac laptop. I want to store pictures on several external devices.

    Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
    Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
    You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
    Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
    Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

  • I am with a university and i purchased the adobe photoshop elements for a faculty member of mine, how can he download it when it is in my name but he is the one needing it?

    i am with a university and i purchased the adobe photoshop elements for a faculty member of mine, how can he download it when it is in my name but he is the one needing it?

    There is nothing to prevent him from downloading and installing the trial version (Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 | Adobe).  At the point all you need to do is provide him with the serial number so that he can activate it.  If the intent is that he be the owner of the software then you might want to see about transfering the license...

  • Anyone using Photoshop Elements for Fashion Design

    Hi,
    I'm looking for software to help me in the Fashion Design Industry. I want to use it for my sketches.   I am a beginner when it comes to Fashion Design and have no experience using Photoshop software.  I had read somewhere that Photoshop Elements is a less expensive version of Photoshop.  I read that it does 90% of what Photoshop does without the higher end pre -press printing capabilities.  I also read that there is a book that will help you with the other 10% to achieve the full Photoshop capabilities.
    1a.  I would like to know is anyone using Photoshop Elements for Fashion Design?
    1b.  If yes, please explain in details what exactly are you using it for?
    2a.  Is there more than one version of Photoshop Elements?
    2b.  If so, what version do you recommend?
    3.   How easy is it to use?
    4.  Do you know of any books you can recommend that will help me with using the software for fashion design?
    5.  If you don't feel Photoshop Elements is the best choice, then what other software would you recommend?
    Thanks

    I've never used PSE for fashion design, but there is only one flavor of elements, not a variety of different versions. I would wonder about using it for this because it could make a lot of difference if you need to create output in CMYK form (for print) or to softproof (neither of which is available in PSE). You also can't create composite layers in Elements.
    I like Elements a lot, but I would not say it's 90% of Photoshop, more like 70% and I would expect that people would use Illustrator rather than PS for most things to do with creating illustrations. Also, there is no book that can make PSE into PS, although you can extend what it can do, but Adobe has deliberately crippled certain features in PSE.
    I would say we need to know what you need a program to do to be able to give you any useful kind of advice. If you need to be able to draw vectors and paths, PSE is not a good choice. If you just need to sketch, it's fine.

  • I purchased Photoshop Elements for windows and need it on mac

    I purchased Photoshop Elements for Windows and need it for Mac.  Can I reverse this or is there a way to get the right product?

    I don't know if things have changed (I get the feeling they have as of late), but normally an Elements license can be applied to either platform, so you should be able to download the trial  version for the Mac and use the serial number to activate it.  If you have any problem you should be able to resolve it with customer spport thru chat.

  • Download Photoshop Elements 4.0 OSX

    I have a new Imac and I have to reinstall Photoshop Elements 4.0 for OSX. But my Installation CD is not working. Where can I download a copy?

    You can't install PSE 4 on a new mac. It stopped working back around 10.5 and stopped being able to be installed back in 10.4. You will have to upgrade to a more recent version to use PSE on a current mac. PSE 12 is the current version.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 IMac

    Hi I have Photoshop Elements 8 and have recently changed from PC to IMac,is there anything I can do, so I don't have to buy the software again?
    Any advice, much appreciated, thanks
    Natasha

    How did you get the software? If you got it with some kind of hardware like a camera or scanner, you probably have both versions on the disc, but otherwise, for PSE 8, I'm afraid you do. PSE 9 comes with both platforms if you buy the boxed version (not the download), but from PSE 3 to PSE 8, it was one platform only.
    Adobe does offer a crossgrade license, but you would need to pay the "upgrade fee" since you'd be getting PSE 9 for mac. Since there isn't really upgrade pricing for PSE (it's only a rebate for registered owners, not a deep discount like you get with PS), it doesn't help any with PSE, unfortunately, since you can almost always find it elsewhere for less than MSRP.

  • How do i get photos from iphoto library over to photoshop elements for editing?

    how do i get photos from iphoto library over to photoshop elements 10 for editing?
    this is an iMac that I just got so its all new to me...
    thank you

    If you set PSE as external editor, be sure you pick the right file, which is not by any means the logical choice. You want this one:
    You can also export the photos from iphoto, edit them and save them under new names and reimport the edited photos as new files. This is more trouble, but lets you save as many different versions of your image as you like (iphoto only remembers the last edited version + original).
