Upgrade from Photoshop Elements 8 to 11 ?

Can I upgrade from Photoshop Elements 8 to 11 on my iMac 2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo running OSX 10.6.8 ?
(And while I'm about it, should I upgrade my OS - if it's possible on this iMac ?)

Based off the system requirements listed at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements/tech-specs.html it would appear you can upgrade successfully.   You should be able to upgrade to at least Mac OS 10.7 as well.  You may also be able to upgrade to 10.8 as well but you will want to verify if your particular iMac supports 10.8 or not.  Not all Intel Core 2 Duo Macs were able to upgrade.

    Hi Raymond,
    I would advise you to buy the bundle package of Premiere and Photoshop Elements 13 which cost 149 $ but due to online promotions the price right now is 119 $.
    Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

  • How do I upgrade from Photoshop Elements 11 to PSE 12 (student edition)

    How do I upgrade from Photoshop Elements 11 to PSE 12 (student edition)

    I believe you just need to purchase the upgrade.  I don't think there is any additional discount with upgrade pricing, meaning you don't also get a student version discount with an already discounted upgrade purchase.  As far as versions go, there is no difference between a regular and a student version... the difference is in the licensing.

  • I upgraded from Photoshop Elements 6 to 12.  But 12 doesn't include Arno Pro or Rockwell fonts. How do I add them to Elements 12 without paying for them again?

  • Upgraded from Photoshop elements 7 to photoshop elements 12.

    I recently upgraded from photoshop elements 7 to photoshop elements 12. I tried to restore the backup from elements 7 to the new version, using the restore catalogue option. It found all the photos, but the album info was not restored. Could you advise what I did wrong or an alternive solution?

    Hi,
    Are there no albums in the left panel of Elements Organizer 12? Please try expanding "Local Albums" panel on the left.
    Thanks

  • I want to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 5 to Lightroom 5.  Can Lightroom 5 read/convert a Photoshop Elements 5 catalog, or is Elements 5 too old to read?

    I want to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 5 to Lightroom 5.  Can Lightroom 5 read/convert a Photoshop Elements 5 catalog including all of the tags, captions, etc, or is Elements 5 too old for Lightroom 5 to read/convert?  What's the best way to migrate?  (My catalog has over 100k images in it.)

    Adobe changed the catalog software from PSE6 onwards to the SQLite database – as used in Lightroom.
    Earlier versions of PSE including PSE5 used a Microsoft Access database, stored in a file called [Catalog Name].psa.
    If you have already embedded keywords and captions by writing file info into the images they should be readable even if catalog conversion fails. Lightroom does have the ability to import a PSE catalog but in view of the age of PSE5 I would recommend downloading the 30 day free trial of LR5.6 and then you can judge the level of success of catalog conversion.

  • Can I upgrade from Photoshop Elements 7.0 to 8.0?

    Hello, I was just wondering if I would be able to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 7.0, to Photoshop Elements 8.0 or 9.0? I ask, because I'm still currently running Windows XP, but I will be switching over to Windows 7 this weekend, and it turns out that PE 7.0 isn't compatible with W7. After running the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, it has informed me that a paid upgrade is required, but I just can't figure out how to upgrade. I know there are newer versions for PE, but I don't really care for PE 12. I just want something simple. If anyone has any information on this, please feel free to answer.

    Yes it should work.
    Here are a couple of discussions about it:

  • Upgrade from Photoshop Elements 10

    Good evening everybody,
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think one used to be able to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 10 to Photoshop CS5.5. Will it be possible to do it to CS6 in a near future ? Would it be possible with Adobe France ?
    Thank you
    Clement, from France.

    Yes, you will need to reinstall everything.

  • Help with upgrading from Photoshop Elements to Lightroom 3

    Any tutorials/books/best practices on upgrading from PSE to LR 3? I have thousands and thousands of photos in PSE, and I'm sure the upgrade is not as transparent and smooth as Adobe promotes it to be.
    Any suggestion, advice or past experience will be greatly appreciated.

    here is a set of instructions on doing what you want.

    Lightroom detects if your computer has a Photoshop Elements catalog and can import photos and data from the PSE catalog into a new Lightroom catalog. Lightroom imports photos and data from Photoshop Elements 6 and later on Windows. Lightroom imports photos and data from Photoshop Elements 9 on Mac OS.
    Note: For help troubleshooting errors or problems when importing PSE catalogs into Lightroom, see the Adobe Support article Lightroom 3 cannot upgrade Photoshop Elements catalogs (cpsid_85517).
    In the Library module, choose File > Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog.The Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog dialog box displays the most recently opened Photoshop Elements 6 (PSE6), Photoshop Elements 7 (PSE7), or Photoshop Elements 8 (PSE8), or Photoshop Elements 9 (PSE9) catalog.
    To choose a different PSE catalog, click the Photoshop Elements drop-down menu.
    To change the destination of the new Lightroom catalog, click Change and navigate to a different folder.
    Click Upgrade to import the PSE catalog into a new Lightroom catalog.

  • Photoshop CS5 upgrade from Photoshop Elements

    I have a license which allows an upgrade of Photoshop CS5 from valid Photoshop Elements. When I am trying to install this program upgrade, it allows me to choose from many different Photoshop Elements from 4.0 to 9.0. I only have a valid license for Elements 10 so I cannot make the upgrade. I have installed the Elements 10 but the CS5 install program does not find this.Is there a way how I can install the upgrade?

    Where did you purchase the upgrade license from?
    Photoshop Elements 10 was issued after Photoshop CS5.  That's why it won't upgrade.

  • Can't upgrade from Photoshop elements 8 to Photoshop CS4

    I recently installed an SSD, and had to reinstall Photoshop CS4 upgrade (from Elements 8). Because the upgrade check screen does not list anything newer than Elements 7, I cannot continue the install. In the past I called Adobe, and they had me ctrl + shift + double-click to get a challenge code. Tried to call Adobe this time but unfortunately the automated phone system said they don't support Photoshop via phone any more, or something like that, so I'm dead in the water. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    PW.

  • Upgrading from photoshop elements 4 to 10 problems

    From being a happy user of photo elements 4  I had to upgrade as Win7 64 bits could not handle Elements 4.
    I wish I never had done this as since then I have nothing but troubles and spend so much time trying to
    figure out why tagged photo's I know I have don't show up. Sometimes they do and on the next startup in one occasion only 10
    percent is shown. This is absolutely unacceptable for an organizer.
    One is more or less obliged to upgrade as reorganizing  8000 plus files with  another program would
    take long but with the time I spent so far I could better have shifted to  more reliable \software.
    Is there a solution to this or would it be better to use another program?
    A very unhappy Photoshop Elements user

  • Upgrading from Photoshop Elements 6.0 to Lightroom?

    Hi,
    Is there any way to import a Photoshop Elements 6.0 catalog to Lightroom 1.3? I don't see it as an option in the Import dialog. I upgraded from PSE 4.0 to 6.0 a little while back, but I've decided it's too buggy and I'd like to give Lightroom a try, but I don't want to have to re-tag everything.
    Thanks,
    -Al

    I made some progress on moving from PSE 6 on a PC to LR 1.3 on a Mac a couple weeks ago.
    First make sure you have no tags with the same name anywhere in the hierarchy. If you do, rename them by adding "in <parent-category>" or some such. Then I exported the PSE 6 tags as an XML file. I used emacs and did regular expression replacement to remove the XML element names and unrelated tags. I was able to keep the hierarchy as a tab-indented list.
    Use PSE 6 to burn all the uniquely named tags into your image files. Now is also a good time to rename or reorganize your image folders on disk if you want.
    So, import the tab-indented list into LR. Then import the images into LR. Then if you had to uniqify any of your tags, you can now go through the LR tags and get rid of the "in <parent-category>" suffixes you may have added.
    Now the metadata in the files on disk is a little different from that in the LR catalog. I guess it would make sense to use LR to burn the tags into the files again, but I haven't done that part yet.
    One more gotcha is to make sure you don't have a tag with a comma in it, othewise LR will make two new tags at the top level for the two halves of your comma separated tag name. Vertical bar might be a problem too.
    This process worked pretty well for me. Somehow a bunch of files that I had imported from another person's collection had the wrong capture time, so about 160 images appeared in the same day's folder. But out of the 12K or so photos that's the only problem I've found so far.
