Simple replacement for Photoshop Elements 4.0?

I'm a fine artist, oil painter and only need the most basic program to make minor adjustments to images. Brightness, contrast, rotate left to right, color adjust light and dark...all the basic stuff I use often but don't need all the bells and whistles on PS11. Isn't there something simple from the dark ages that WIN 7 can use?

Take a look at Nikon View:

It's a free program and very easy to use.  For RAW files, it only reads Nikon NEF format, but it will read JPG files from any camera.

  • Viable Replacement for Photoshop Elements

    I have really given up on Photoshop Elements 8. It lacks proper integration with Photoshop CS3 which is a major showstopper for me.
    I have 5 years and 1000's of photos invested: tagged, version sets, stacks, albums, collections,....
    My alternative is to go back to PSE 6.0 which is where I migrated from but not my optimal choice.
    Any album organizer software on the market that can provide a smooth transition from Photoshop Elements. Mainly concerned about tags and version sets to be carried over.
    Thank You.

    The only thing that can read your PSE 6 catalog as is would be lightroom (it can't read your PSE 8 catalog). Otherwise, you can write tags to files, as long as they aren't raw files, but there is no other program that can import a PSE catalog.
    I don't know if even lightroom can understand your version sets as version sets, though.

  • What is upgrade for Photoshop Element 2.0 to work with Windows 7 ?

    What is upgrade or replacement for Photoshop Element 2.0 to work with Windows 7 OS?

    Hi there, because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop Elements forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

  • I have the serial number for Photoshop Elements 5 and need a way to download software.

    My laptop was replaced at work with a new laptop.  I have the serial number but do not have the windows downloaders for Photoshop Elements 5.  I see where you can get the downloader for 7.  Can I still get it for 5 somewhere?

    As far as I know, 7 is the furthest back that is available.

  • Wow styles for Photoshop Elements

    I purhcased the wow styles for photoshop elements some years ago up until now they have always worked with all my versions but for some reason they do not work in the latest elements 9.  The files are the same format but when you add them to the preset folder they simple do not apear as in earlier versions.  I have tried a few plugins and they do appear after they have been added to the relevant folder.  I have tried with and without a master folder.  Any one got any suggestions as to what has changed?  I really miss using these great styles and 3 wow styles are still included in the main program so i am at a loss to understand why they no longer work.

    If that's true that's sad. Strange too as they still work up to at least CS3 in Photoshop. I'm really curious as to why a set of layer styles would stop working. Did you jump through all the extra hoops needed to get layer styles to show up in Photoshop Elements in recent versions?

    I guess if worse came to worse you could open your older version of elements and make up a PSD to store all of your Wow styles. Make a separate layer for each style; apply style; name layer for style. Open this document when needed. Right click layer style layer in your layers palette and select "Copy Layer Style"; go to layer you desire this effect and right click the layer and select "Paste Layer Style". I know kind of a pain but probably faster than transferring back and forth between two versions of Elements.

  • Replacement download PhotoShop Elements 12?

    I recently had to wipe my hard drive clean in order to get rid of a virus infestation.  Naturally, I lost my copy of Elements 12.  I have all the registration information.  How do I get a replacement download?

    You should be able to find a download link for PSE12 in your Adobe account online.
    If not, go to the home page of the Adobe site and select the Search option at the top right.  In the serach field type "Elements" and in the results that appear choose the Try Now option for Photoshop Elements.  That should bring you to a page where you can download the trial version.  You can use your serial number to activate it to full use.

    Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
    I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

    Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.

  • Can you download a 32 bit installer for photoshop elements 12 to install on a 64 bit system (windows 7)

    can you download a 32 bit installer for Photoshop elements 12 to install on a 64 bit system (windows 7). Thanks in advance

    yes, if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • My Adobe trial for Photoshop Elements 10 for the Mac was over and I wanted to buy the application. The screen message was "Your trial has expired...but the fun doesn't have to end! Buy now to continue using Photoshop Elements 10 without having to download

    My Adobe trial for Photoshop Elements 10 for the Mac was over and I wanted to buy the application. The screen message was "Your trial has expired...but the fun doesn't have to end! Buy now to continue using Photoshop Elements 10 without having to download or re-install. " and then the button "Buy Now". When I hit the Buy Now button I am put in a field to buy Photoshop Elements 13, with no way to change to Elements 10. I do not want to go through the hassle of reinstalling etc. In fairness, it's been over a month since making the decision to buy. Still, I consider this a nightmare. Any ideas on how to buy the app I've got withou having to purchase a whole new one? Thanks.
    If worse comes to worse, will I need to uninstall the trial if I buy a new version? Can I use part of it lime download assistant?

    Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.  If you wish to purchase an older version you will have to find and take your chances with a third party vendor.

  • Invalid serial number for Photoshop Elements 12 trial upgrade.

    I originally installed Photoshop Elements 12 as a trial version. Then I purchased the product, received an Order Number and a Serial Number. In the Photoshop Elements "Welcome Screen" that appears on start up, I clicked the "License this product" button and was seemingly logged in to my Adobe ID account and was presented with a serial number form to fill out. After entering the serial number several times correctly, it still gives me an error message saying the serial# is invalid for Photoshop Elements.
