Uninstalling Photoshop Elements 6 & 8 on a Mac

I want to uninstall PSE 6 and 8 on my Mac without destroying my present setup on PSE 9. Is it as simple as dragging them to the trash or are there other files that need to be deleted as well?

Is it as simple as dragging them to the trash
No! You can't uninstall PSE 6 or 8 by dragging them to the trash. You MUST use the uninstaller. For PSE 6, the uninstaller is the installer. Just put your disc in the drive or double click the disk image (if you have a download version) and follow the steps you did to install it. When you get to the screen where you chose Install Components last time, this time choose Remove Components.
For PSE 8, there is a link to the uninstaller in the PSE 8 folder in applications.
Doing this shouldn't affect PSE 9, at least in theory.
EDIT for PSE 8, don't forget to deactivate it (help>deactivate) before uninstalling.

  • How do I uninstall Photoshop Elements 4.0 on a Mac?

    I need to uninstall Photoshop Elements 4.0, it seems to be missing some information in the tutorials and in Bridge. I am on a Mac G5, OS 10.4.11
    Thank you.

    I'd just trash it but to be sure you do it right I'd ask in the Elements forum since most Photoshop users don't use Elements.

    I just installed the trial copy of Photoshop Elements 8 on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.1. Now I would like to uninstall it. According to the readme file which came with the product:
    "To uninstall Photoshop Elements 8, you MUST USE THE INSTALLER'S UNINSTALL OPTION; do not drag the program to the trash to uninstall it."
    I lunch setup program from dmg image, but there is no uninstall option there.

  • Uninstall Photoshop Elements 6

    How do I uninstall Photoshop Elements 6 from my Mac...there's no uninstall anywhere on this computer.  I don't want to install Photoshop Elements 10 until I dump #6

    I am not sure, but you might also look for PSE6 uninstaller under Utilities->Adobe Installers and uninstall PSE6. But as 99jon said, you can leave it installed along with PSE 10.

  • I have Photoshop Elements 10 on a new Mac, using Yosemite 10.1.1 - PE locks up every time I try to sign in. This software was restored to this computer from Time Machine after a theft of my old Mac. How can I fix this?

    I have Photoshop Elements 10 on a new Mac, using Yosemite 10.1.1 - PE locks up every time I try to sign in. This software was restored to this computer from Time Machine after a theft of my old Mac. How can I fix this? It keeps telling me that there are missing files, too. If I upgrade to Elements 12 or beyond, will this fix the problem?

    You can't sign in because there is nothing to sign in to. For PSE 10 the only sign in was to photoshop.com, which has been dead and gone for a year and half. Just skip the sign in. Reinstalling will not change this.

    PSE is locking up because it's looking interminably for the non-existent photoshop.com server.

  • How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

    How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

    I never did it from Windows to Mac.
    I assume you need to move everything to Mac PSE12 (or PSE 13) by downloading the 30 day free trial of PSE 12 or 13, and then once everything is working, use File->Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog in Lightroom. Your tags and albums will remain intact. I believe the face recognition transfers as well to keywords, but the location in the photo of the face will be gone as Lightroom has no such feature.

  • I just purchased and downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 to my new Mac but can't open it. i

    I just purchased and downloaded Adope Photoshop Elements 10 to my new Mac.  I cannot find, and cannot open, the program.

    Well, it should be in your downloads folder. If it's really not anywhere, I would try downloading the trial, where it's easier to figure out which is the correct file, and you can enter your serial number into that, same as into the purchased download.

  • How do I uninstall photoshop elements 6 (windows) when there is not option in add-remove programs

    How do I uninstall photoshop elements 6 (windows) when there is not option in add-remove programs.  I have looked on my hard drive extensively for a library or utility folder that would have an uninstall program, nothing.  I want to install Elements 9, but have found out that Elements 9 does not remove Elements 6, so I want to remove elements 6 first.

    Strange that PSE6 does not show up via the control pane.
    I wouldn’t worry about uninstalling it. The two versions sit happily side by side and PSE6 takes up hardly any file space compared with PSE9.
