Retrieving lost Photoshop Elements Software due to PC crash

We had purchased Photoshop Elements 3 several years ago, upgraded to 7, and recently our motherboard died. The vendor where we purchased a new PC only transferred files and not software. We are negotiating with them to see if they will assist us, but in the meantime, if we reinstall Elements 3, do you have any record of our upgrade to 7? If not, what is the current version, and how much would it cost to upgrade? Many thanks. Betty & Jeff Luscher

For the rest - your photos are just files on a disc. Other than building a catalog with metadata and thumbnails which you wil lprobably lose, there is nothing magic to it and you should be perfectly able to copy and move the files to whatever location you desire and view them in any other app like IrfanView, XnView, ACDSee etc.. If you can't do that, than probably the harrdrive is damaged as well and you need some file recovery tool get working...

  • Need to retrieve photoshop elements software after hard drive erased

    hello. i purchased photoshop elements 11 two days ago, but had to erase my hard drive this morning.  is there a way for me to retrieve the photoshop elements software or must i purchase it again?  i have the serial number, btw.

    Yes, simply download the trial version or the version listed on your account and reinstall it with your serial number. If you need to reset activations, contact support by phone or webchat.

    My hard drive crashed. Lost Photoshop 11 software. When hard drive fixed, I bought and downloaded Elements 12. Trying to get photos in 12. All I have had for several hours are hour glasses. Photos are there if you click on hour glass, but cannot get photos to show up on the grid. What should I do?

    Thank you. Unfortunately I have  very limited technical skills.I am not sure what some of your suggestions relate to and the others I would not know how to do. But I do appreciate your respnse. A good start might be if you could tell me how to turn off face recognition. Thank you again

  • Need help retrieving my photoshop elements 2.0 due to virus scan removing it

    need help retrieving my photoshop elements 2.0 due to virus scan removing it - i have everything removed from scan in quarantine but have no idea which  one is what i need to reverse and allow my photoshop elements 2.0 (old version, I know, but I love it) to work again

    Use the anti-virus program to reverse everything it quarantined and in future ensure the anti-virus program settings let you check and decide what items to quarantine and what to ignore. Letting an anti-virus program quarantine things automatically is a recipe for disaster.
    You could also check if you have a System Restore point from before the anti-virus run.

  • I uninstall Photoshop Elements 11 due to problems and cannot reinstall it

    Hi,
    I uninstall Photoshop Elements 11 due to problems and cannot reinstall it.
    When I run the installation setup file, the application offer me only to uninstall the previous installation.
    As there is no application available (as I uninstall it), the installation process stops.
    I've tried to clean the registry, manually uninstall using the Adobe recommandation for the Photoshop Elements 11.
    Impossible to obtain a recovery of the installation process.
    Thanks for helping
    Regards

    That's a tough one, and since you speak english and am not an Elements expert, I moved this thread to the Photoshop Elements forum.

  • Lost Photoshop Elements 5 CD, but have serial

    Hi,
    I need to reinstall Photoshop Elements 5 on a new computer, but I lost the CD.  I still have the CD case with the serial on it.  I also registered my copy when I first bought it.  Does anyone know if I can install the software online somewhere?
    Thanks!

  • Why couldn't I finish install Photoshop Elements 11 due to conflicting processes running?

    On my iMac7,1 running Mac OS X 10.8.3, I have installed Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10.  I bought Photoshop Elements 11 (& Premiere Elements 11) at a retail store and began installing Photoshop Elements 11 from the DVD from the retail store.  The install software accepted the Photoshop Elements 11 serial number that found on the DVD packaging and entered at the prompt, but then I could not continue the install due to 3 processes that the install said were running.  I had previously shut off my virus protection software and could only see one application, other than the installer, running (iClock), so I was puzzled how to shut down these 3 processes:
    ElementsAutoAnalyzer
    PhotoshopServer
    dynamiclinkmanager
    I suppose I could have gone to the Activity Monitor.app to see if they showed up running there, but that seems pretty extreme for a simple install of a standard appication like Photoshop Elements ... so I went to Adobe chat support and explained the problem in some detail.  The support professional told me that this problem was beyond his expertise and suggested I call the phone support service.  Does anyone know what I did wrong?
    Here is the error message that I got when I quit the install:
    Installation Status
    Installation was cancelled
    Exit Code: 24
    -------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
    - 0 fatal error(s), 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

    Extreme or not, activity monitor is the place to stop them. I would also go to the organizer preferences>media analysis and put a final stop to the auto analyzer unless for some reason you want PSE to pass judgment on your photos.

  • Accidentally purchased Premiere Elements instead of Photoshop Elements (Software program..)

    I purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 10 thinking it was a photo editing program.  It appears it is more of a movie editing program.  I am going to have to purchase something different for picture editing?
    Subject was edited by: Ivan David

    Hi,
    The equivalent software for working with photographs is Adobe Photoshop Elements. Please see: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html.
