Which version of Photoshop Elements is best for for my old G4 iBook?

Which version of Photoshop Elements would work on my trusty old iBook G4 14-inch laptop?
The newest version of this application, Photoshop Elements 6, requires 64 MB of VRAM but my G4 only has 32 MB. (regarding other system requirements, my G4 has 768 MB of memory and a 1.2 Ghz processor, and runs Mac OS 10.4.11.)
My plan is to go to Ebay and buy some older version of Photoshop Elements but I wanted some direction as to which older version would be best.
Thanks.

I would go to the Adobe web site and post that query and also check the FAQ's on this page:

Which version of Photoshop Elements is best for for my old Mac G4 iBook?

Which version of Photoshop Elements would work on my trusty old Apple Mac iBook G4 14-inch laptop?
The newest Mac version of this application, Photoshop Elements 6, requires 64 MB of VRAM but my G4 only has 32 MB. (regarding other system requirements, my G4 has 768 MB of memory and a 1.2 Ghz processor, and runs Mac OS 10.4.11.)

I have the same issue. My girlfriend bought Photoshop Elements 6, but her iBook G4, which is maxed out on conventional RAM, only has 32MB of video. She bought PE 6 as the Apple Store guy told her it would work on a iBook G4. He clearly did not realizing there were some iBook G4's made with 32MB and some with 64MB of video RAM. But before we break the shrink wrap on the box, which would make it unreturnable, it would be nice to know if anyone has gotten PE 6 to run on a iBook G4 with only 32MB of RAM. I'm more concerned with whether it works, than whether it is optimal. So, does anyone know if PE 6 will run on a iBook G4 with 32MB of video RAM?

Which version of PhotoShop Elements should I buy for Windows Vista Home Premium and from what source?

First time buying PhotoShop. I need it for a project I'm involved with at my school, but I can't download Creative Cloud or PhotoShop Elements 13 because Vista is not supported by Adobe. However, I find it easier to find a version more fit for my computer rather than upgrade it (I'll just be brief, it's not convenient AT THIS TIME for me to attempt to upgrade my PC, even if many believe it'd be better for me).
I was just planning on looking on Amazon for PhotoShop Elements PC boxes available and going with whatever version 11 or below that was at a good price. Is this a good way to go or is there something special about purchasing CD's to download I need to be aware of? Is buying from a source like Amazon rather than straight from Adobe putting me at risk for a phony version of PhotoShop Elements (though I was looking to buy a "new" box to avoid this if I can find some)?
I'm having trouble finding WHERE Adobe sells its products from its own website rather than Creative Cloud right now. A link would very much be appreciated if such a place exists. Thank you.

You can download a free trial version for PSE 10, 11 or 12 from this link:
<Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
You can use this trial version for 30 days after which you will need to buy a boxed version from Amazon and use the serial number from the box to activate your trial version.
If, however, you complete your project in the next 30 days then you don't need to buy anything. Money saved for something else.
Good luck.

Which version of photoshop elements works with yosemite

which version of photoshop elements works best with Yosemite, PSE 13?

Actually versions pse 6 through pse 13 work on mac os x 10.10 Yosemite, but pse 12 and pse 13 might work better, since they are 64 bit applications and can use a lot more ram than pse 6 through pse 11, which are 32 bit applications and only use a limited amount of ram somewhere around 3 gbs of ram max.
You might as well get pse 13, since it's the current version adobe sells.

Can anyone please tell me which version of Photoshop Elements will download easily and run with mac 10.5.8 Snow Leopard?

I posted a question which was: Can anyone please tell me which version of Photoshop Elements will work with Mac 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Then this window popped up saying mark this discussion with as a question and this window. I have no idea how this works. It already is a question and if I need to emphasize that, how does this window that looks like a Word editing window, help me do that?Downloading, Installing, Setting Up

You asked the question in the title area instead of the area where the body of your posting is intended to be. No fault of yours - they need to make the form clearer.
Check the system requirements for the various versions of Photoshop Elements and see which suits your system. Adobe only sells the most recent versions of their software, so if you need an older version you will need to find a vendor for it.

Which version on photoshop elements do I need?

Which version of photoshop elements will open raw NEF files from a Nikon D300s?

Since you can only purchase PSE 11, I would say the answer is PSE 11

Which version of Photoshop Elements is

recommended? I have read several negative reviews on 12. Would I be better off getting 11 or 10?

Depends what you want to do with it. The following compares versions 8 through 12 so may help you decide:
http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/photoshop-elements/buying-guide.html
Personally I've kept 11 installed as well as 12 because of a couple of features they took from 12 (check the FAQ to see what they took out).

bought photoshop elements 11 last year for windows and using it in my desktop. The desktop is crashed now and not usable. So I bought iMac now. Is it possible to trade over or change the licence into iMac version for a small fee. If not , can I partition the hard drive of iMac and install windows and also photoshop elements? which is the best alternative ? why?

A Photoshop Elements license is good for both Mac and Windows so it should be just a matter of downloading the Mac version and using your current serial number to activate it.

Can files for older versions of Photoshop Elements be deleted

I am running Windows 8.1 (64-bit Version). I recently purchased and successfully downloaded and installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 13. Prior to installation, I de-installed Photoshop Elements 12. I had previously owned Version 10 and 11 which have been de-installed several years ago.
I just noticed that the ProgramData/Adobe/Photoshop Elements folder on my Windows 8.1 system drive, there are at least 1 gigabyte of files still left under subdirectories for 10.0, 11.0, 12.0.
Also, under the Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Elements 12 Organizer, there are over 700 megs of files still remaining. These files are very similar to what is stored in the Program Files/Adobe/Elements 13 Organizer folder that was created during the Photoshop Elements 13 install.
Question – can any of these files associated with the earlier version of Photoshop Elements (12,11, and 10) be manually deleted as it seems like a waste of space for potentially files no longer used.

Best way to organize several versions of Photoshop Elements to conserve disk space?

I have Elements 9, 11, and now Version 12. I am wondering if I should import into Version 12's Organizer all of my previous photo files, then delete or uninstall the older versions of PhotoShop Elements?
Currently running Windows 7 - 64 bit with latest SP installed. I would like to try and keep the hard disk storage fairly lean, and can't help but wonder about the space that is being taken up by having all of these versions of Elements installed! Any advice would be welcome. Thanks for your replies and insights!
BrokenBell

Thank you so much for your input! I sometimes feel that I must be increditable stupid as I try to get BOTH organized but also learn how to use all of the features found in Photoshop Elements. Part of the reason that I say this, is because I have always been pressed for time, so I try & do one most pressing thing, that usually doesn't turn out quite like it was described it would or could be, and then I'm off to take care of more pressing issues, and don't get back to trying it after days or weeks have passed, so its kinda of like starting all over again.
Again, thanks for your reply and input!
Sincerely,

The organizer does not store your photos, only links to their locations on the hard disk. So all your different versions will be looking at the same image file, so no duplication of the photos themselves.
If you find yourself using features in 9 or 11 that were removed in later versions (e.g. interactive photomerge, magic extractor, lighting effects etc ...) I'd be inclined to leave them installed unless you are critically short of disk space.

Neale

Buy Now message for purchased version of Photoshop Elements 12

I keep getting the Buy Now message for my purchased version of Photoshop Elements 12.
I used the trial version before and think this may be what is causing the problem.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but this does not solve teh problem.

I have already installed the version I bought on CD. It worked for a while, but then I got the message about the trial being over and I had to Buy Now.
I had been using the trial version before buying it on CD, so it is extremely annoying to be told I should be buying it now. I have bought it, but cannot use it as I cannot get past the welcome screen!
I have entered the serial number which came with the CD! But the Buy Now persists. If I could find anyone at Adobe to tell them, I would, but unfortunately there is no help line or contact email.
Thanks for trying to help.

Installing a downloaded version of photoshop elements 8 for the mac

Can someone please help me. I downloaded version 8 of photoshop elements for the mac (a paid version and not the trial). When i click on the set-up icon and go through all the required information (i.e., serial number, etc.), the screen goes to checking the system and finally to "preparing to install". It sits there and does nothing. I have waited for hours but it just says "preapring to install". I have downloaded the app a couple of times. I rebooted a couple of times. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.1 I also have the earlier version of Photoshop Elements, version 6. Can someone help please. I have holding now for 73 minutes on Adobe's support line.

Not to sound completely stupid but does this require me to download elements
again but under the new admin user?

Best version of Photoshop Elements

Can anyone tell me which version of PSE is the best to use with SL? Until yesterday, I was running PSE3 on Jaguar. I now have a new computer running SL and I use PSE a lot. Seems with everything I've read, I haven't been able to determine the best version. Thanks for your help

I did not upgrade to SL. I actually had someone buy me a brand new computer running SL!
Yes, that's what I meant. Sorry I wasn't clear: if you do an upgrade to SL on a computer that had PSE 4 on it, PSE 4 will keep running, but it's very hard to cajole it into installing from scratch in 10.6.
Enjoy your new computer!
