Replacing PhotoShop Elements for Leopard

My PhotoShop Elements 2.0 does not work on Leopard. It was great on Tiger. Over on the installation thread, many users confirmed the problem. Version 4.0 doesn't work, either. Adobe apparently plans no fix.
So... can anyone suggest a good Leopard-compatible replacement for PSE? I'm using an iMac (Power PC) G5. I don't need the heavy duty, full blown PhotoShop, but I do need more features than iPhoto has.
Thanks.

Well, I even used a newly formatted clean partition and it did not work, on which I installed a "virgin" copy of first 10.5, then went back to 10.4. At this time not even with a clean install of 10.4, under which it ran flawlessly until installation of 10.5, will let it access. What stuns me ist that it will run on the Powerbook G4. Also, another scanner attached will work.
I had just recleaned the partition, installed 10.4, the latest version of Epson software.... just won't work. Image capture does see the scanner, but will not connect. Another observation: photoshop elements will not install on the machine, but will boot over a network connection from my powerbook. weird..... trying to install will render the error file missing: postflight script, whatever that is.
BTW Vuescan and Silverfast will not get it either. I connected the scanner to different usb port, checked its functionality on other machines. I have no clue whatsoever why these two objects: 3170 and PSE 4 would not funtion anymore. There were a few of the usual minor glitches on other programs, but nothing to cause concern, the usual little bits while upgrading. Considering my problems with Magicmovie 08, this is my very worst year with Apple since the old Apple II days....

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 had purchased Adobe Premiere Elements along with Adobe Photoshop Elements for my MacBook Air

I had purchased Adobe Premiere Elements along with Adobe Photoshop Elements for my MacBook Air OSX Mavericks. Due lack of space I had to reiinstall OSX and could not retirieve from Seagate Back-up drive software in workable condition. Options please?

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.

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.

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 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.

Photoshop Elements for Snow Leopard?

Based on compatibility testing results reported on the web, Photoshop Elements 6 does not work with Snow Leopard http://brainstormtech.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2009/08/26/snow-leopard-warning-your-apps-may- crash/.
Is there any information on an upgrade or new release?

Barbara
I did as you instructed and, so far, PSE is running without crashing. Let's
hope it continues to do so!
Thank you for your assistance.

Thank you. I am away now for two days but I when I return I will do as you
suggest and let you know the result.

Go back to the preference files and for PSE delete also the Paths and
>> Settings folders, and the Opera preferences. To repair permissions go to
>> Applications>utilities>disk utility and click your hard drive in the list on
>> the left, then click Repair permissions. It takes a while.

Photoshop elements for Mac (snow leopard)

Hi all. I recently upgraded my computer to a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. Previously i had a windows running acer. Just before my acer crashed i bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. Unfortunately this is not compatible with my Mac. I was wondering if there is anyway to get a download which will make it compatible (I don't even know if such things exist) or if i'm able to download a Mac compatible version and use my old serial number? or am i stuck having to fork out to buy another copy? Please help....

this is not the Elements Forum.
but to answer your question Adobe does not make software that will run on both platforms its either or. you will need to buy a Mac version.

Photoshop Elements and Leopard

I was quite happy using Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 on my old G4, then I bought a new iMac that had Leopard installed and ...
I can't install Elements 2 as the screen says that there is no support for the Classic Environment.
Does anyone know if Elements 4 works OK in Leopard, as I'm thinking of buying?
Cheers. John

PSE 4 works on my new Leopard install (x86 mac). I have only noticed a couple of small nuisances, like a balloon help message sticking around the toolbar after I move the mouse pointer, but clicking on another tool and then back on the one i want fixes it. Once it refused to switch to another image I had open, but I used Expose to pull all app windows and click on it, then everything went fine.

IMac 24" Wonder-Land - Adobe Photoshop Elements, Aperture, Leopard et al

Hi
I am on the verge of purchasing a 24" iMac but have a number of questions and would value the advice.
I am an enthusiastic (non-pro) photographer. family and memory stuff. I use a Nikon D40.
I currently use Photoshop Elements, but as I understand it this cannot be used on Intel Macs. Anyone know when Elements will be available. I have considered full Photoshop but feel it may be a bit too overkill for my needs, especially cost. Aperture may fit on a cost basis but still may be over spec for me. Any thoughts?
Finally as Leopard is due out in the next few months (?) is it worth waiting before purchasing the iMac?
Many thanks
Jon

Where did you hear that PE would not work on an Intel Mac? My understanding is that you have two choices. You can run the mac version and rosetta will handle it though it may be slower than on a G5. Or you can run the windows version on Parallels - this may also be slower than running it on a pc. Either way, you have it until a new version gets released.
You may want to check out Photoshop CS3 on their site or the NAPP site to see if it is worth the extra $ to have not only a program that will work on the Intel Mac smoothly but will also do some extras for you that PE won't. Several if not all of the photo programs you have listed have 30 day trial periods. Download and play - it will give you a better idea of what you want.

Lightroom or Photoshop Elements for administrating huge number of photos?

Dear photo experts,
at home, we have a huge number of photos we took over years. We are looking for a software able to organize all of them. We currently have:
Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 (Mac)
Adobe Lightroom 3 (Mac)
However, for organizing photos we so far use none of them but a third software (here, we are not happy about how it handles our huge catalog of photos).
Our photos are stored on a server (network attached storage), organized by date and event.
I read that Adobe Photoshop Elements cannot organize photos stored on a network drive.
Now my questions:
- Can Adobe Lightroom organize photos stored on a network drive?
- Is Adobe Lightroom capable to organize a huge amount of photos in one single catalog (separating them via tags)?
What are your experiences?
Thanks a lot!
JMickey

I read that Adobe Photoshop Elements cannot organize photos stored on a network drive.
I thought the opposite was true
Can Adobe Lightroom organize photos stored on a network drive?
As we say here in Rochester, NY, YES it can
Is Adobe Lightroom capable to organize a huge amount of photos in one single catalog (separating them via tags)?
Yes, this is one of Lightroom's strengths
What are your experiences?
I use Lightroom for all of my photo management (yes, I said ALL). I never use the operating system for photo management. Lightroom works great. People here in this forum who have much larger catalogs than I do (over 1/4 million photos) also use Lightroom to manage their photos.
