PSE 11 and Mac.

Presently using PSE 9 on a Mac. There are limitations for Mac users. As I understand it slideshow is still not available for Mac users. Are the share functions still limited? Does the time stamp changes still exist for Mac users (really makes the organizer a disoraganizer on Macs). Thanks.

There is an export command now. Outside of that (and the slideshow), the share functions have always been the same on both platforms, except for disc burning, which is gone completely from the mac version of PSE 11.

  • Can I sign in/out of PSE PC and Mac? At the moment I only have PSE for PC.

    If I have two PCs loaded with PSE I can use either one by signing Out/in between them.
    Can I do this with two machines loaded with PES for PC on one and PSE for Mac loaded on the other?
    Many thanks

    You are allowed to have two activated (signed in) copies of PSE. If you bought PSE in a box one can be a windows machine and one a mac. If you bought a download, about 95% of the time you're limited to one platform.

  • Premiere 11 and Mac

    It would appear that Adobe has finally solved the time stamp problems for Mac users after 2 years without a patch. With PSE 11 and Mac there is still no slide show. Has anyone had any experience using Premiere on a Mac for slideshows (not importing video) and if so any good tutorials? Thanks

      I’ve not done it on the mac but I have on Windows so I’m sure it will work. It’s not as easy as using Output to PRE from the PSE Slideshow Editor but you can easily add stills to the PRE timeline. It takes longer to add transitions between the stills but with the added benefit of effects and a music track and the ability to tweak the final tones/saturation it’s possible to produce a very good slideshow. Many people use Pro Show Gold or Producer from Photodex but I always think they look over produced.

  • Pse 8 for mac and iphoto 09

    I read on the elements 8 for mac page that it works easily with iphoto. My question is how?
    I can find nothing in the elements documentation about working with iphoto and when I try to access the iphoto library via file>open and select iphoto library and click open I get a message telling me my request could not be completed because of a program error. I am using iphoto 09. I am new to both elements and mac. Can anybody help? Just how does elements work with iphoto?
    Thanks.

    Thank you so much Barbara for those two helpful sentences !
    You cannot believe the amount of time I have spent today trawling forums and knowedge bases trying to solve various problems with PSE8 (Mac).  It took me over an hour just to get past a couple of install gremlins !
    On the front of the PSE8 (Mac) box it clearly says "Works with iPhoto"  which is why I simply cannot believe why Adobe have not put a similar couple of clear bolded sentences in the minimalist "Getting Started" pamphlet.  Or better still bring up a dialogue box when you start the application to offer to auto config the link to iPhoto.
    Another thing that has added to my frustrations is that the intro video tutorial, starts of talking about using Organise in PSE7 for Windows?
    After spending so much time developing this Mac version of PSE, it feels like the basic top 10 things to get new users started have been overlooked in the rush to get the product to market.  Such a shame.
    Anyway I am sure that the PSE8 (Mac) will prove to be an indispensible product, but must confess it has been unbelievably frustrating today.
    However I suppose the silver lining is that I have now found this forum, so will no doubt be coming here often over the coming months ! 
    Thanks again,

  • Opening animated gif in PSE 8 for Mac

    I am switching from PSE for PC to PSE 8 for Mac.
    I have always been able to open animated gif as layers and work with them, then resave as an updated animated gif.
    WIth PSE 8 for Mac, I get a pop up that the file is animated and can only see the top frame. Any ideas on how to open up all of the frames in layers?

    Do I need to enable this process for my Mac? Maybe I'm missing a plug-in or update?
    I have been opening these files from others, tweeking and resaving for almost 2 years in PSE. It definitely will not shuffle the individual panels on an animated gif into the layers box.
    My tweeking usually involves adjusting frame speed. Is that what you mean by 'frame rate'?
    Thank you for your help.

  • PSE 12 for Mac doesn't see my scanner

    PSE12 for Mac refused to work with my scanner. In preferences I checked "Additional Plug-Ins Folder" and selected the Optional Plug-Ins Folder which contains the TWAIN.plugin. I restarted the PSE and the File> Import... command remains dimmed out. Tried resstarting the iMac and PSE still doesn't see the scanner. PSE 11 used to recognize the scanner right away. I hope this isn't a permanent change in PSE 12!
    Thanks for any help!
    OS X 10.8.5
    Canon 8800F Scanner
    TWAIN.plugin v12.0.4x001

    Hi Barbara - I reinstalled PSE 11 on my iMac and verified that it still works with the Canon 8800F scanner. I also installed PSE 12 on my Macbook Air, moved the Twain plug into the right spot, and found that it doesn't see the scanner either. Preview on the Macbook does see the scanner OK so it's not a connection problem there either.
    I noticed that the Twain plugins in PSE 11 and 12 are the same version but different sizes. The get info windows for the two versions of PSE on the iMac (Kahawalu) and the PSE 12 on the Airbook (Niumalu) are below. Would you be able to let me know the PSE 12 Twain file version and file size that is working with your Canon scanner? It might help narrow this thing down.
    Thanks again for your assistance!  William

  • Bridge in pse 8 / pse 9 for Mac

    Hi. I use pse 8 for Mac and is fund of Bridge. Can anyone tell me if pse 9 includes Bridge in (pretty much) the same version.
    Or to put it another way: Would I benefit of an upgrade?

    Yes, there's no bridge in PSE 9, but you can keep on using Bridge CS4 if you don't want to use organizer. The only problem is that you can't update the raw converter in Bridge anymore, so you won't see thumbnails for newer camera models:

  • Printing with PSE 8 for Mac

    Hi,
    hope some of you may give me some help.
    Have tried to print with PSE 8 for Mac, but in the printing options there is none where i can choose the type of paper (ie: glossy, premium glossy....).
    My printer is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400.
    It works fine with iPhoto, here i can choose paper type. And prints come out fine.
    Thanks for any advice,
    dangerly

    My printer is a Canon so not entirely sure if this helps but when I print from PSE 8 I do not get to choose the media type until I have clicked on the print button in the PSE dialog box. I am then presented with the dialog box for my printer where I can set the media type amongs other attributes.
    It is normal for the media type to be the job of the printer driver so perhaps it is the same for your printer.

  • Raw images do not show up in Bridge CS4 for PSE 8 for Mac

    I just downloaded PSE 8 for Mac and my raw files no longer show as thumbnails.  I can open them in Elements, but the image is blank in Bridge.  These same images were fine in CS3 (PSE 6 for Mac).  I have downloaded and installed the new Camera Raw 5.6 plug-in but that didn't work.  Any suggestions?  Thank you!

    You have to update bridge separately from PSE, and bridge ships with a pretty old version of ACR. Just go to Help>Updates in bridge and it will update itself for you.

  • PSE 8 for MAC - heeelp !

    Hi,
    I've just gone over to a MAC and from version 7 to 8. I'm sure the solution to this is very simple, but I'm stumped.
    I'm creating a photo book which is 14" by 11".  I want to be able to put a graphic onto my new blank page and have it fill the page (background).  In version 7, all I did was right click a graphic in the organizer and was given the option to "add as background".  Can't believe I have to "stretch" photos to make them fit .......
    Thanks in advance for any help !!!
    Addy

    I uninstalled PSE and reinstalled as admin.  Same result.  My iMac
    has random memory of 4 GB and a hard drive of 1 TB.
    After the reinstall, PSE opens and I click on new file.  That menu appears on the screen and I click "ok".  That's when the message comes up "Could not complete because of a problem using the Adobe Color Engine".  I also tried opening a picture from my picture library (Aperature) and received a message that PSE could not complete the action.  Could it be that PSE is not intended to work on a MAC?

  • PSE 8 for Mac

    Hi to all
    Scuse my bad english. I leave Windows to Mac
    First:
    I'm just trying PSE 8 and can't clone a zone
    I right click to choose the zone to clone and get an error message when I left click to clone: "choose a zone to clone before"
    May be it's not authorized because it's a trying version!?
    Second:
    I can't make a GIF with a transparency color
    I choose Preferences > Transparency
    I click with the pipette one the white zone of the picture
    I click OK in the window Preferences
    I register it under GIF format
    But It doesn't work
    Is there somebody to help me ?
    Cordially

    Hi -V
    I click right on the zone to duplicate, then I left click,  getting an
    error message "Impossible to use the tampon tool, because the zone to
    duplicate has not been defined (Option clic to define a source point)"
    I dont understand, on Windows I know this operation with Corel
    For the transparency it's OK now
    Le 19/02/10 15:35, toxryan a écrit :
    Hi Porquy,
    First:
    For clone stamp to work you should first define the source to clone. That you can do by pressing option key (alt key on windows) and clicking on the image area that you want to clone. Note that right click doesn't work here.
    Now just click at the destination location where you want to paste (copy) the source area.
    Second:
    The Transparency settings in the Preferences have to do with the image background, as to what should the background look at a particular area in the image that is transparent.
    For your purpose, just do this:
    Go to File menu>  Save for Web.
    In Save for Web dialog, under presets: select "GIF" for file formats, Transparency box checked on and "None" for Matte.
    Click OK and save the file at the desired location.
    I hope this is what you were asking.
    Cheers,

  • PSE 8 for Mac says "License expired"

    Hello.
    I am having a problem with PSE 8 for mac.  The situation for my software is complicated but it my be germane.  I download the trial version of the software and liked it.  I put the software on my wishlist.  My in-laws got a copy of the software for Christmas, but they bought the windows version from Costco.  Because Costco does not sell Mac software, I called up Adobe support and asked if they would cross grade me.  I did not want to return the software at Costco and not be able to get it.  So, I thought I would call Adobe and see what they could do -- cross grade could be a win/win.  They said that they would if I sent the serial number.  I did that, then they said that I need to pay $25 to cross grade, which I did not want to do.  I asked them to just give me a permanent serial number.  Adobe eventually did give me a permanent serial number for the PSE 8 trial and that is what I have been using.
    At about the time of the 10.6.3 update, PSE stopped working giving an error message "Licensing for this product has expired".  I tried a number solutions listed on the support site here at Adobe, but no have worked EXCEPT turning back the clock to 2008.  Is there a way to get this to work without having the clock wrong?
    Thanks.

    This shouldnt have been the case. I am sorry that you are experiencing this issue.
    Can you please try to do the following:
    1. When your system date is in year 2008 and you are able to work successfully with PSE Editor, go to Help Menu inside Editor and click on the link saying Help->Deactivate...
    2. Select the option to erase serial number and deactivate the product.
    3. This will quit PSE Editor as well.
    4. Launch PSE Editor again and now supply the serial number which Adobe gave to you again...
    Hopefully, this error message wouldnt come now...Please keep me informed...
    Regards,
    Ankush

  • PSE 8 (for Mac) refuses to launch - with message

    Just tried to launch PSE 8 (for Mac), it didn't launch, but produced the message: "Could not open scratch file because disk is not available."
    (tried this four times with the same result each time)
    Conclusion: because the most recent backup to RAID filled that disk, PSE 8 cannot access the scratch disk on the RAID backup disk.
    (This, even though I removed over 80 GB of old video files from the archive.)
    I purchased PSE 8 11/28/2009 - can I use an app removal utility to remove this installed version and re-download another installer?  It seems the most direct approach but first I have to ensure I can download a "replacement" and find out the original serial number to activate that replacement. 
    The original directions from Adobe indicate that all I have to do is access my order history and the serial number will be on the order form.  I'm not seeing any clearly identified serial number on that order. 
    So my question are;
    1. Should I first remove the original PSE 8 - or just the plists?
    2. how to find the original serial number?
    I do know already: once I have PSE 8 replacement installation running, I must set a scratch disk location on another (roomier) drive. this is not a problem: I have two 1 TB drives installed in my Mac Pro in addition to the two 500 GB drives which make up the (old) RAID. 
    Mac Pro 1,1 (2.66 Ghz Quad Core Xeon), OS 10.5.8

    Good call but it didn't work: tried deleting those plists twice.  Still get "disk not available" message w/ immediate PSE quit.
    Further: I ran Diskwarrior on my "home" drive, the cloned "home" drive AND the RAID backup. 
    This included Directory repair, File Check and Hardware Check on all three volumes.
    Also repaired permissions on "home" drive and cloned drive.
    I then repeated the attempt to launch PSE 8 on my "home" drive and the cloned "home" drive: same result. (failure)
    Sidebar: While running Disk Utility to repair permissions, I happened to click on the "RAID" button and found that
    one drive is listed as "Failed" and the other is listed as "Degraded." 
    Just in case that has anything to do with the PSE 8 failure to launch: I am now using Disk Utility to rebuild that RAID set.  This takes 4 hours and will wipe it clean.  I'll try in the morning once again to launch PSE 8 and get back with result.

  • I used to use PS "actions" are they in PSE 8 for Mac?

    I have been using an old version of Photoshop for Mac. Under  the Windows heading there was an Actions option where I could "record" some actions to edit photos and the"play" it to perfrom the same actions on different photos.
    In PSE 8 for Mac I see that under Guided Edit there is an Action player with 4 presets, none of which suit my purposes. It says that I can add (from where I don't know) or create my own actions sets by referring to the Help menu. When I search the help menu for " Create Action set" I get 15 topics and none of them seem to be about creating actions sets.
    I'd like to be able to record a set of acttions such as OPEN FILE- SIZE IMAGE-UNSHARP MASK-SAVE-CLOSE- and then play it back.
    Help appreciated.
    thanks,
    Rob

    When you save an action from photoshop 7, you should be able to
    choose the place for saving (i.e. desktop).
    The default place for saving actions is very often in the ps7 application folders.
    Something like: Applications>Photoshop 7>Presets>Photoshop Actions.
    As far as what actions from ps7 work in pse8, try to record steps in your
    action that are available in pse8. Something like unsharp mask will work,
    but not a command such as convert to cmyk. There are alot of commands
    that are not on the pse8 menus that do work such as a layer mask or trim.
    It would be good idea to test your actions in pse8, before installing a whole bunch and
    finding that half of them don't work.
    You could make test action for this purpose. In ps7, record an action
    such as Image>Trim.
    Name this action set Test (you can name the actual actions anything you want)
    and put it in your pse8 photo creations>photo effects folder.
    Then delete (move to your desktop) the MediaDatabase.db3 and start pse7
    (this will take a while to rebuild the effects panel).
    The Test action should be visable in the effects panel after selecting
    photo effects and show all. It wiil just be a black thumbnail named Test.
    From now on when you want to test an action, just replace the Test action
    with another action named Test, but with the action steps your testing
    and no need to delete any files (database).
    By testing your actions in this way, you avoid the hassle of making a
    xml file and a png thumbnail for an action that may not work.
    When installing actions that have been tested, you also need a xml file
    and a png thumbnail file in addition to the action. (look at xml and png
    files already in the photo effects folder for examples).
    You don't have worry about the jpeg files, as elements generates these itself.
    It's a good idea to delete (move to desktop) the the MediaDatabase.db3
    and the ThumbDatabase.db3 anytime you install actions other than the Test action.
    After you start pse8 and everything works, you can delete those files from your desktop.
    There is also an action player in pse8 under guided edit>automated actions.
    As tempting as it may be to test actions with the actions player, i would avoid that.
    One very good reason is that some of commands that are in pse8 don't work with
    the actions player, for example, any of the transform commands.
    In addition to texaschicksblog mentioned above, you may also want to read this pdf:
