What Photoshop for Mac Powerbook G4 (PPC) running OSX 10.4.11?

I want to colourize B&W Photo scans.
No interest in cloud, video or Flash. Based on looking at system reqs, I think I need Photoshop CS3 for PowerPC.
However, I am confused by the plethora of "product" choices and constant name changes.
What's the difference between Photoshop (PS) and Photoshop Elements (PE)??
I'd also like a copy of Lightroom.
The machine is a Mac PowerBook G4 15 Inch, running OS 10.4.11 (Tiger). I am limited to this OS version, as Apple is no longer providing updates for PPC machines.
A new machine is NOT an option.
Can anyone tell me which product is appropriate, and how to order the older version from Adobe? I find the web site navigation limited and less than helpful!

Photoshop Elements is a deliberately emasculated, bargain-basement priced application that borrows only a few Elements of Photoshop proper and adds some hand-holding features for beginners and amateurs, and an album-like Organizer. Personally, I think it's overpriced by at least $50–$60, but from your description it may be all you need.
We do not deal with Elements, here. There's a dedicated Elements forum:
https://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements/content
All of the current versions of Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and Lightroom require a Mac Pro with an Intel CPU to run.
Adobe does not sell anything but the current versions of those applications, which in the case of Photoshop boils down to Photoshop CS6, Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC2014. Adobe does not sell any versions older than that, so you'd be limited to what you can get in the market, like dubious versions you can find on eBay, where the likelihood of your getting ripped off is huge.
Yes, this website is a an ungodly mess.
In a nutshell, you won't be buying anything that runs on your G4 from Adobe.
Remember, you are not addressing Adobe here in the user forums. You are requesting help from volunteers users just like you who give their time free of charge. No one has any obligation to answer your questions.

How can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac?

how can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac? i have a client that specificly needs the files to be avi and in 24bit what are the settings that i need to use to export the video using photoshop on a mac?

Hello,
To make a 24-bit AVI file in Photoshop, go to File>Export>Render Video. Then, under File Options, choose AVI from the Quicktime Export drop-down menu. Click the Settings button. Click the Settings button in the AVI Settings window. Change Compression to None, and then choose "Millions of Colors" from the Depth drop-down under Compression.
The Millions of Colors option is for 24-bit video (8-bit R+G+B channels, 8x3=24). Millions of Colors+ is for 32-bit video (24-bit video plus an 8-bit alpha channel).

What version?

Lightroom for Mac, PowerBook G4, Operating system OS X 10.2

Hello all
Is there a version of Lightroom that can be downloaded for Mac, PowerBook G4, Operating system OS X 10.2. I have tried Lightroom 1.1 but that needs 10.4 or above. Any advice is appreciated.

No way. A lot of the system-level things that LR requires are 10.4 only.
Time to upgrade your machine ;-)

No, uninstalling is not required.

Can I get a discount on Adobe Photoshop for mac if I own cs6 for windows?

It might be possible, though you will have to check with Adobe directly. Normally, an upgrade involves going from a product to a product or from a suite to a suite, but not a product to a suite or vice versa. And I don't know that this would be an upgrade since you are moving laterally rather than up. I have heard of exceptions being made, so your best bet is to contact someone who has the ability to work out a deal with you.
I am pretty sure that if you had a Creative Cloud subscription the question of Mac versus PC is moot as you can have installations for both machines with the subscription. But Creative Suites are different animals.

I recently purchase an upgrade to Photoshop for MAC, the price today is quite a bit cheaper. I have not downloaded my copy yet and was wondering if I can return it and rebut it today at the reduced price.

TS1362 I have a Mac Pro tower, am running osx and iTunes will not work.. It basically just stopped working after having run faultlessly for...years... I can see all the songs, playlists etc, but the progress bar will not progress..it's 'stuck'. Suggestion

I have a Mac Pro tower am running OSX and iTunes will not work. It has always worked flawlessly. I can see all my iTunes content- my playlists, my songs et cetera, But I cannot play anything. The progress bar is 'stuck'...any suggestions?

Thanks. I have been using iTunes since its inception and have never had a problem...I'm using the latest version. The progress bar is the bar that moves when you're playing a song..it just won't start when I double click on a song,..have tried quitting, rebooting etc but nothing works. Apple are useless-they have told me twice they've tried to call me 'momentarily', but I've been waiting by the phone, and they definitely have not tried to call...

Hi, I have a PPC Running OSX 10.5.4 and I want to delete the User "Guest"and "Shared"Folders on my HD, they won't let me change the permissions and I keep getting errors that say the permissions should be 0 and are 501 and having files i can't delete that go on and on ad infinitum... I think it's a virus or a corruption? Can anyone tell me or help me and let me know what I'm dealing with here or wether I'm mistaken and should leave it alone?
I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Matt

Why do you want to delete those? What have you done so far to do that?
I doubt that Mac has a virus. On the other hand, your attempts to deleted those folders may have caused corruption.
Two other comments:
1) Is there a reason that Mac hasn't been updated to OS X 10.5.8?
2) You've been misled by the poor field labeling on this Web site into trying to type your entire post into the "subject" field. In the future, just put a short summary of your post into that field.

Ideas?

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

Deleted safari from powerbook G4 15in running OSX 10.5.8 how do I get it back

Deleted safari from powerbook G4 15in running OSX 10.5.8 how do I get it back

Did you just delete the Safari icon from the dock? If so, bring up Finder, choose applications, and drag the Safari icon back to the dock. However, if you really deleted it (dragged it to the trash and emptied the trash) ... you can download it from the OS X 10.5 Leopard install disk, using the optional installs. After clicking on optional installs, click on applications, and choose Safari.

For Mac Powerbook G4 (10.3.9), downloading Firefox "3.6.24 dmg" always fails to "verify" and when opening the archive it says the dmg is corrupt. This version appears to be the latest one that will run on this system.

Now using Firefox 2.0.0.2. Running okay, however can't access cetain sites. Only want to upgrade enough to get by.

Firefox 3.6 versions aren't compatible with OSX 10.3.9, Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever release for Mac OSX 10.3.9 and earlier versions. <br />Get it here: <br />

Where can I download a free trial of adobe photoshop for mac os x 10.5?

Hi,
I cant seem to find a free download of adobe photoshop for my mac os x 10.5. Does anyone know where I could find this?

Should you have been misled about the capabilities of the iBook G3
portable PowerPC-based Apple computer you bought online, you may
be able to return it; misrepresented products may be returned if you
bought through such places as eBay, etc.
Also, the name iBook has been re-used, it currently not only applies to
old vintage or obsolete Apple portable PowerPC G3/G4 computers, it
also applies to the newer iBooks ebooks, applications, software, and an
author application where later spec computer or device systems are
needed to utilize their function. But not current portable computers.
For relatively inexpensive Intel-based white polycarbonate Apple portable
computers that could run Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion 10.7, you may find
some resellers of repaired or used stocks, with Core2Duo processors,
and these MacBook entry-level models replaced the PowerBook/iBook G4
builds in 2006, then were discontinued by 2010. Now there are MacBook/Air
MacBook/Pro models, the latest models are rather different in build & OS X.
everymac.com has information about most all Macs, including portables
and their years of manufacture, specification, and other details.
So, I'd check into the returns situation, and get some model of more recent
build; even a repaired one with a limited guarantee could be OK. Depending
on what your expectations are, you may find a deal, or a disappointment in
trying to find a bargain without more information on what their limits are.
Older models no longer made appear in online resale sites, some companies
repair and resell a variety and their inventory is changing all the time. But other
resellers may not really know anything at all about the items they sell on ebay.
A local Mac user group may be helpful with locating something nearby. Or you
could try some online resellers who have a good reputation among Mac users.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

PSE 8 for Mac won't Install; running Snow Leopard 10.6.2

Hi,
When PSE 8 was released for the Mac, I bought a copy from Amazon. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on two 24" iMacs and one MBP 15.3. The Adobe installer would hang about three quarters through the installation. I'm running PSE 6 for Mac without a problem. I returned the software to Amazon without a problem.
A month or two later I downloaded a trial version from Adobe's web site thinking perhaps the DVD I had gotten from Amazon was possibly defective. Nope. Same problem trying the trial version. It just hung about three quarters through the install on all three machines.
I'm running Photoshop Extended CS 3 with Snow Leopard and have no problems.
What gives?
Thanks,
Linnie K

Hi,
I wouldn't know. The first copy I bought from Amazon and returned. The second one was downloaded from your web site as a trial and I removed all the bits and pieces after killing an hour with the installer. I didn't think I could download the trial version a second time.
I'm using a Mac with Snow Leopard 10.6.2. My Photoshop Extended CSS3 and PSE 6 work just fine. I'm afraid that if I deleted all you had suggested, I would have trouble reinstalling the two apps I just mentioned. From what I've read on various forums,, Mac users (not all) are still having difficulty installing PSE 8.
BTW, this is the only app I've had any problem installing on my system. I deliberately waited for v. 10.6.2 to install the newer OS as there were earlier incompatibilities.
Thanks,
Linnie
