Using Photoshop Elements on my 2nd Computer

Hi all -
First, my apologies if this is not the proper forum for this question - I just didn't see any others that looked more appropriate.
I have a Tower G4 running 10.3.9. "Many" years ago I purchased, installed, and registered Photoshop Elements 3.0.
I have recently purchased a new MacBook running 10.5.7. Is there any way I can use my PE3 on my new MacBook in addition to my G4? Or will I have to obtain an additional license? Or will I just have to buy PE6 (which I've heard many bad things about)?
TIA for any responses -
- OF

Adobe licensing generally is for one desktop computer and one portable computer, provided the two versions are not running at the same time. The EULA for Elements 3 confirms that such is the case for it as well
Ahh, thanks for that. Looks like I was wrong when I said this wouldn't be allowed. Interesting that it's limited to a desktop plus portable... that's quite logical and forward-thinking behavior from a company I would not expect that from.
I am curious about what "bad" things you have heard regarding Elements 6?
You said it yourself... the "awful gray on gray interface"! After all the years Adobe has been developing Mac apps, it shows an astounding lack of interest in customer opinions that they would release something that they should know will not be appreciated by Mac users. Plus the fact that it still, after all these years, won't run on a non-admin account without tweaking the permissions. And if you don't use some of the newer things like Adobe Bridge, there aren't any features in PSE 6 that weren't in PSE 3.
I've said it before, I'll say it again... Photoshop (and PSE) really needs some competition! But, of course, all this whining I'm doing really isn't appropriate for this forum, so I'll quit now...

    What are you trying to do when you get this error?
    If you are using raw files, which camera (make and model) do you use to create the raw files?
    If you can load the editor, which version of camera raw do you have loaded? - see Help -> about Plug-in -> Camera raw

  • Editing with Photoshop Elements on a different computer

    I spend my time in two different countries. Last time I went to the US, I installed my copy of Photoshop Elements on my laptop, as I prefer to use that program for editing. Unfortunately, I left the disc in the US. Now that I am back in Finland, I want to use Photoshop Elements to edit some photos on my iMac that are stored in iPhoto 6. I tried to move the program to my iMac, but it doesn't work. I also can't use the 30-day trial, as I used it before purchasing the program. I don't want to buy another copy, as I only ever use it on one computer at a time.
    Is there a way to edit my photos on my PowerBook, and then import them back into iPhoto 6 on my iMac without having duplicates of the photos on the iMac? I am somewhat confused about the best way to do this. I know I can easily transfer the photos to my PowerBook, but I am unclear on what to do once I have edited them.
    I know there is some kind of option in iPhoto to edit in a separate program. Can that be configured to edit photos in a separate program on a different computer on a network?

    Kristen:
    You idea may be right. Connect your two computers, the one with PSE in Target mode, and then in iPhoto select PSE as the editor of choice and when asked to locate it, navigate to the other computer and select it. It's worth a try.

  • Installing old Photoshop Elements on a new computer

    I have an old version of Photoshop Elements and a new MAC. It was previously installed on my PC which crashed. But the new MAC won't let me install this software - it tells me there is an error with the install.

    OK... so this is an OLD version - it is 4.0 (2006). My MAC is running OS X Version 10.8.2. The installation begins and some of the files begin installing then it quits and the message reads: "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    Thanks

  • Error Message when using Photoshop Element 9 sending email

    I was using Photoshop Element 9 sending email on Windows Live Mail.
    It was working perfect.
    A week ago, my computer had the problem and need to format and reinstall everything again.
    After that, when I used Photoshop Element 9 to send email using Windows Live Mail 2012.
    It came up error message in below:
    "Elements Organizer could not finish creating your E-mail message.
    Alternatively, you can use the Adobe E-mail Service via the Elements Organizer Preferences dialog."
    I don't want to use Adobe E-mail Service because it is very limited for email function such as attached another files or change email contents.
    Would you please give me some idea how to solve the problem ?
    Thanks,
    Joe

  • Currently using Photoshop Elements 9 with 98,000 pix.  Can I restore catalog to another PC?

    I am currently using Photoshop Elements 9 on one PC and would like to transfer my catalog to another PC with is faster and more powerful PC?  For example, could I install Photoshop Elements 10 on the faster PC and then import the Catalog Backup from Elements 9?  Currently us Microsoft PCs, if that makes any difference?
    Thanks,
    Leon

    First of all, use PSE9 on your old computer to make a full backup of your catalog and image files.  Put this backup in a safe location, such as an external HDD, and don't mess with it.  If something goes wrong, you'll need to restore your catalog from this backup to get back to where you started from.  Let's call this backup "PSE9 Backup Golden".
    Now the question becomes "Can PSE10 restore from a version 9 backup?".  I don't know, so you have 3 options:
    1.  The "I feel lucky" option.
    Use PSE9 on your old computer to make a new, full backup onto an external HDD.  (Call this backup "PSE9 Backup New".)
    Install PSE10 on your new computer.
    Use the PSE10 Organizer to restore that "PSE9 Backup New" to your new computer, answering "Yes" to any prompt about converting the catalog to the new version.
    2.
    Use PSE9 on your old computer to make a new, full backup onto an external HDD. (Call this backup "PSE9 Backup New".)
    Install PSE9 on your new computer.
    Install PSE10 on you new computer.
    Use PSE9 on your new computer to restore "PSE9 Backup New" to your new computer.
    Open the restored PSE9 catalog in PSE10 and say "Yes" to the prompt about converting it to the new version.
    3.
    Install PSE10 on your old computer.
    Open the PSE9 catalog in PSE10 and say "Yes" to the prompt about converting it to the new version.
    Use PSE10 to backup the converted catalog to an external HDD.
    Install PSE10 on your new computer.
    Use PSE10 on your new computer to restore that converted catalog to your new computer.

    I have tested the first solution without any problem with different PSE6 catalogs, one of which with 32 000 pictures.

  • Moving Photoshop Elements 9 to New Computer

    We had been using Photoshop Elements 9 on a Windows computer.  It died and was replaced with a Mac. The Mac also runs Windows in a virtual environment when needed, and it has the disc drive from the former Windows computer installed. 
    We cannot get Photoshop to run.  meanwhile, we have the disc and box, but we don't know how to load Photoshop again without a disc drive on the Mac.  meanwhile, it seems like everything should already be on the had disk drive that is attached.
    Help appreciated.  My daughter has a school project that needs photoshop.

    do not move/migrate any adobe programs including pse.
    install pse using the mac install file on your disk.  or download the install file using the below info.
    if you follow all 7 steps, you can download a trial via one of the links on this page using a browser that accepts cookies:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-9-premiere-elements-9-direct-download-links.h tml
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a download problem (eg, you see an error page or you are offered an incorrect version), you probably didn't follow all 7 steps.  typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem, but your browser must also allow cookies so that (a restrictive browser setting) is another potential source of problems.

  • I am reinstalling Photoshop Elements 7 on my computer after my hard drive died.

    I am reinstalling Photoshop Elements 7 on my computer after my hard drive died.  I found a download page on adobe's website for the software and installed.  Install went fine but when I entered the serial number I received from my original e-bay purchase the software said it wasn't valid.

    No, I am using the serial number from the original e-mail that I received when I bought the software.  I don't think I ever registered the serial number, how would I check?
