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.

As long as your license supports both platforms you should only have to download the Mac version and install/activate using your serial number. If you need help finding a link to download the file, please indicate the PSE version you need.

Photoshop Elements from PC to MAc

I bought photoshop elements 9 a few years ago for my PC. I now own a MAc. Is there a way to put photoshop 9 on my Mac without having to buy it again?

Did you order the boxed version? If yes, you would have the CDs for Mac as well. And your serial number will work on Mac then.
If you downloaded the online version, I am afraid then it would have been for Windows only.

Photoshop elements from dell to mac

i purchase photoshop elements in may 2012 for my dell computer. i am getting a new macair and need to know if and how i can use the same software.

If you bought the boxed version, yes, you got discs for both platforms and a serial number that will work on either. If you bought a download, no, unfortunately. For one of those mysterious adobe reasons downloads are platform-specific, so you can still install on two computers, but they have to be on the platform you originally purchased.

Moving Photoshop Elements from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1

Using Elements 12 Organizer works fine when viewing a catalogue from an external drive file in Win7 but viewing the same file in Win8.1 shows only about 70% of the images the others are greyed out. I have tried the restore feature with similar result. I have the exact same problem with DPP viewer. Has anyone come across this problem?

If your HDD is over 1 TB, chances are 4 won't work. That's all I can add.
If you have Photoshop 4, you are eligible for Photoshop v9 aka Photoshop CS2 at no cost and with far more features.

I have just updated Photoshop Elements from 12.0 to 12.1 and I am now unable to drag layers from one file and drop them into another. Help!

I was able to do this until I updated. I need help fast as I need this feature to complete daily tasks for my job. I've come to a halt with my work because of this.
I have the two files open as shown below. I'm trying to insert the image in the file on the left to the file on the right but when I drag to drop into the file, it doesn't happen.
The cursor indicates it has picked up the image but it doesn't indicate that it can't be dropped, it just doesn't work. Help!!

Given that you're on XP, we'd better try the following document:

Switching Photoshop Elements From PC to Mac

I recently downloaded Elements for my PC and last week I bought a MacBook Pro and want to transfer Elements because I will be getting rid of my PC. I tried calling Adobe multiple times and was on hold for almost an hour. I'm currently deployed overseas so I do not have a call back number. This has been very frustrating, someone please help.
Thank you.

Did you purchase the software from Adobe directly? If so then you can complete the following steps to locate your download:
Log in to your Adobe account to download your software.
Go to the Adobe Store for your country and sign in with your Adobe ID and password.
Click My Orders and then My Order History.
Locate the order number, and click the Download link in the Downloads column.
Start the download by doing one of the following:
Click Download and follow the onscreen instructions.
Click Akamai Download Manager and follow the onscreen instructions.
Click Alternate Download Method, and then click the .7z and .exe files (Windows) or the .dmg file (Mac OS) to download the software to your computer.

Change license Adobe Photoshop CS4 (11.0) from window to mac os x

I had legaly bought Adobe Photoshop CS4 (11.0) DVS/A, PHSP, WIN, GEN, MUL,CZ/HU/PL/RO. Its be possible can I change license from Windows to Mac OS X. Because i was change Computers. Old windows computer was burn processor and I was bought Apple Macbook Pro. And i can now use that photoshop. I dont want use WMvare,Oracle virtual box or other.

It's no good arguing with us, we don't make the rules and don't work for Adobe.
In general when you change between Windows and Mac you should budget for re-buying all software, though you can be lucky with some.

Updates for raw files from Nikon D5000 on a photoshop elements 7 /windows 7 system

I have photoshop elements 7 but it won't open raw files from a nikon D5000 although I've followed the links and updated. It still says it won't open because it's the wrong type of file..I've downloaded a DNG converter but still nothing is happening.

You download and installed the camera raw 5.6 plugin, by following install directions on the following page?
Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Windows : Camera Raw 5.6 update
If you have a windows 7 64 bit system, then the Camera Raw.8bi plugin goes in
Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats
(the path adobe gives is for a 32 bit windows system)
Also, use the Camera Raw.8bi outside the folder named Win64

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?

Thanks! I read the message wrong and thought I could not run it at all.
Any article that says you can't run a program in Windows 7 that ran perfectly well in Windows XP or Windows Vista is suspect in it self and should be tossed out of your open window quickly.
Windows 7 is not any different from XP or Vista except that security is much better and the GUI is better but is all XP and Vista behind the hood. I am running some DOS programs in Windows 7!!! Now this must be magic!!

Have Photoshop Elements from 2001. Got new computer with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. It won't run on my new computer. What version is MOST SIMILAR to the old version I have, that will run on W7P-64? Thanks for any help. Popjer

You should probably just download the trial version of pse 12 and see if you can live with it.
Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?
How much free space is on your hard drive?
Do you have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
Pse 1 can run on windows 7 x64, provided certain conditions are met.

Migration from Photoshop Elements 8 (Windows 7 64 bit) to PE 12 (MAC)

I am planning to move from a PC Windows 7-based system to a MAC. As part of this move I will need to migrate Photoshop Elements from PE 8 in Windows to PE 12 on MAC. Back in July, I previously asked what steps would be necessary to migrate to PE 11 on MAC, but I delayed making the move (waiting for the new MacBook Pro) and will now be migrating to PE 12.
Do I still follow the same steps for a (hopefully!) smooth transition of my tagged photos and catalog? i.e., migrate from PE 8 (Windows) to PE 12 (Windows). Then from PE 12 (Windows) to PE 12 (MAC). Are there any gotchas or caveats that I should be aware of? I've read a few horror stories in various places and am nervous.
Thanks, Amy

I'm a bit slow on implementation. So far I have good news and bad news. But bottom line, I need some additional help.
First the good news: The upgrade in Windows from PE 8 to PE 12 went smoothly, with all tags and their hierarchical structure maintained. Ditto for Albums which showed up under "Local Albums."
I am now stymied with the bad news and hoping for more guidance: I just got my new MacBook last week, with my data files transfered over from my Windows PC. Unfortunately, the migration to PE 12 MAC (installed for me with the disc from the boxed version) did not make the transition smoothly. All of my tags came in under "Imported Keyword Tags," with the hierarchical structure totally flattened, and they cannot be dragged-and-dropped into a renewed structure into People, Places, and Events tags, as appropriate. Also, all of my Albums have disappeared.
I'm thinking that maybe I should restore the catalog. But when I started to do so, I was asked to choose between New or Original Location. Then, when I chose "original location" (not wanting to clutter my new hard drive with duplicates), PE 12 gave me a warning about the potential for changes to the existing file structure. So I stopped and decided to come back to the Adobe Forum for more help.
Thanks in advance! Again! Amy
