Upgrade to Photoshop Elements 10 - Security Advisory for PSE 8 and earlier

https://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-03.html
Based on the aforementioned advisory, those of you using Photoshop Elements 8, or earlier, should probably upgrade to v10 (or at least 9). Although it has been stated that, "Adobe is not aware of any attacks exploiting these vulnerabilities against Adobe Photoshop Elements to date", it seems silly to run software that contains one or more known critical vulnerabilities and Adobe is NOT going to fix the issue since PSE 8 and earlier versions are no longer supported. Nice of Adobe not to bother fixing a vulnerability in one of their software products when the version involved is only ~2 years old (PSE 8) but the mentality appears to be one designed to virtually force users to pay for upgrades every year or two. FWIW.....

I admit that it is rather strange that they just issued that advisory when they probably knew about it when pse 8 was stiil being sold.
Since pse 8 shares much of the code of cs4, look at the date on this advisory for cs4 and yes adobe doesn't have a good track
record about updating photoshop elements and that is kinda bothersome.

  • Is there an upgrade to Photoshop Elements 5.0 for use with Windows 8?

    Is there an upgraded to Photoshop Elements 5.0 for use with Windows 8?

    yes, photoshop elements 11 should be compatible with win 8 and there is an upgrade path here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html

  • 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 uploaded the upgrade to Photoshop Elements 12 today.  I got a "dispatching error" for Photoshop Elements, but was able to download Premier elements!  I did not order Premier Elements, so I'm confused (unless this was a package that I did not know about)

    I uploaded the upgrade to Photoshop Elements 12 today.  I got a "dispatching error" for Photoshop Elements, but was able to download Premier elements!  I did not order Premier Elements, so I'm confused (unless this was a package that I did not know about).  I really want the Photoshop Elements upgrade - not Premier Elements.  I do hope I did not pay for both - I only want one.  Help!

    Maryrhire910 I am sorry that you are facing difficulty downloading and installing Photoshop Elements 12.  Are you downloading the installation files from Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10?  If so what specific error are you receiving?

  • Following the recent upgrade to Photoshop Elements 13 the shadows/highlights sliders no longer operate. How do I resolve this issue?

    Having installed the recent upgrade to Photoshop Elements 13 the shadows/highlights sliders no longer work. How do I resolve this problem?

    Sometimes when problems pop up for no apparent reason it could be that the preferences files had become corrupted. Here are two ways to reset the preferences.
    1. The reset process might be built into your PSE version, as shown in this video:
    How to Reset Photoshop Elements Preferences - YouTube
    2. If your version does not have the reset option,  press and hold Alt-Ctrl-Shift (Option-Command-Shift on Mac) immediately while starting PSE. The timing is critical; you may have to try this several times. A dialog box will pop asking if you want to delete the settings file?  Click  YES.
    Let us know if either of these works for you.

  • Can I get an upgrade from Photoshop Elements 2.0 to 7.0 ?

    My computer came with Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 and I would like to know if I can get an upgrade to Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 for a cheaper price. anybody know? thanks beforehand for your help with this.

    That's right. You can view the Photoshop Elements Version comparision chart at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelwin/upgrade/
    You can upgrade to PSE 7.0 for Vista and XP, however if you are a MAC user you will have to opt for PSE 6.0 as PSE 7.0 is not in market for MAC.

  • 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.

  • Mess caused by upgrading to Photoshop Elements 13

    I have just upgraded from Photoshop Elements 12 to Photoshop Elements 13 via download.  I am not impressed.  First I had to or was directed to use a download manager of Japanese name!  With 50Mb cable broadband I don't need this, but the alternative seemed to have 2 files.  So I went with the provided download manager.  But this has put a folder on the Desktop - bit messy in my opinion.  Fortunately after download it is not needed to run 13.  (But why didn't the installation delete or make it clearer that you could put it else where??).  I now have Photoshop Elements 13 installed and it runs fine.  BUT I also have Photoshop Elements 12 which also runs.  There is not point in having 2 versions on this PC.  But when I look in the Control Panel un-install route I can only see Elements 13.  I can't find or see Photoshop Elements 12 listed, but this older version is present and I can find all its folders on the C directory program files area!! So how can I easily and cleanly remove Photoshop Elements 13?

    Thanks Angryuk.  I have sent an Email to the CEO.  Here is what I sent.  It might encourage other Adobe users to push for better and more professional support even if the app PSE12 is only one behind!!!
    Dear Sir
    I was a regular home user of Photoshop Elements 12(PSE12) having purchased it by upgrade on
    7 Oct 2013 (S/No: 1057-1302-7331-8029-4210-6039).  Then when I was powering up this application it said that Photoshop Elements 13 (PSE13) was available for upgrade on special offer by download.  So I purchased PSE13 on 13 Oct, 2014 (S/No: 1057-1314-3452-2773-6251-9919)
    I realise that most software suppliers will not support old versions so on important packages such as PSE I always upgrade so that I am on the latest version.  (Also means I am a faithful customer of Adobe).  Most software companies will support the last issued version even though they have just upgraded.  They will eventually pull the plug but not for a short period following an upgrade/re-issue of software! (But Adobe doesn’t appear to follow this convention from my Help Web CHAT calls as you will see).
    When I installed PSE13, I finished up with both PSE12 & PSE13 on my PC, both fully working.  However I couldn’t see the point in having both on my PC.  After if you only support PSE13 better to be on that. If there are any bugs in the new software, I will trust that a company of Adobe reputation will issue fixes in due course.
    So I went to un-install PSE12 via the correct Windows Control Panel and un-install provided to un-install software cleanly.  But only PSE13 appeared but no PSE12, even though it is a fully running application.  So I used your Adobe Web Chat connection as I do have an Adobe account.  The first Chat was as follows:  (Your case number: 0185994907);Chat start time: Oct 13, 2014 7:55:56 AM; EST; Chat end time: Oct 13, 2014 8:46:33 AM EST; Duration (actual chatting time): 00:50:37; Operator: Rashmi. Brief details of the call: Rashmi: In that case we need to uninstall it manually ,
    Graham Marriott: Do you not have a manual un-install program that I can download. Many  software companies have a program you can run to remove and clean off their programs!!
    Rashmi: No we do not have any program Rashmi: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/manually-remove-photoshop-elements-12.html (Tech note to manually remove PSE12).  I tried this but I cannot delete the PSE12 folder because it says in that it is use.  But I have stopped all Adobe services.  So used Web Chat for second time.
    Chat start time: Oct 13, 2014 9:12:10 AM EST; Chat end time: Oct 13, 2014 10:41:06 AM EST
    Duration (actual chatting time): 01:28:55; Operator: Honey Razdan.  Brief overview is that Honey took control of my PC (Honey Razdan: Please visit my virtual room at: so that I can check your computer to uninstall PSE 12.  But she couldn’t un-install PSE12 and it was taking ages for to delete even one folder!  The connection became broke to this chat. 
    So I tried again: Chat start time: Oct 13, 2014 11:06:07 AM EST; Chat end time: Oct 13, 2014 11:25:25 AM EST; Duration (actual chatting time): 00:19:17; Operator: Aditya Jha; Aditya Jha :        But I can help you only with Elements 13 products; Aditya Jha :    We do have people on forums to help you.
    So I spent a whole afternoon (3.5 hours on chat itself) to try and solve this problem. The message I get from Adobe is that you do not support PSE12 but only PSE13 which you have only just issued. Rather than provide a professional support on a just upgraded version you pass the responsibility to the Adobe Forum to try and help me solve the problem.  It is true that most Forums are brilliant with many fine engineers.   But I feel a company like Adobe should provide good technical support and I don’t feel that is what I am receiving.  Your graphic products in comparison to other similar products are expensive.  Although I recognise that they are high quality and functionality.  But this whole experience has left me somewhat disillusioned with Adobe.  I feel that I will never be able to delete PSE12 even though I am ex IT engineer and quite capable of administrating a PC.  I look forward to a reply from Adobe that will restore my confidence not just in your products but in the service you provide.
    Yours Truly

  • Upgrading to Photoshop Elements 12

    Can I upgrade my Photoshop Elements 4 to Elements 12 on Windows and how do I go about that? I currently have Windows XP on my desktop computer. Also, would that automatically migrate intact my Collections? If not how would I go about ensuring it does? I will soon be moving over to an IMac.

    As far as I know, Adobe is no longer selling version 12, version 13 is the latest version they have for sale.

    Hi, Trying to buy an upgrade of photoshop elements, however, when I go to any of the pages it comes up with an error - 413  Header Length too Large.

    Hi Johnson,
    the maximum request size is 10000 characters. To translate larger documents you'll need to break them into smaller chunks. When using the HTML mode, make sure you send a complete element, for instance the whole <p> element up to and including the </p>.
    Also make sure not to break requests in the middle of a sentence. Translator needs whole sentences to translate. You can use the BreakSentences method to find sentence boundaries. Breaksentences is also subject to the 10000 character request size limit.
    Let us know if this helps,

  • What to do to upgrade to photoshop elements 10?

    What to do to upgrade to photoshop elements 10? Actually I have photoshop elements 8. Offer from the United Kingdom to do so doesn´t apply to Panama, or USA.

    Best bet is to look for the full version either online from someplace like amazon or at a local big box store. It's almost always much cheaper than the upgrade version.
