Will photoshop elements 12 work on my snow leopard os 10.6.8

I would like to upgrade my photoshop version 12. Adobe says it does not support the system, but will it work on my operating system even if it is no longer supported

It requires 10.7 or later, so it will not work in Snow Leopard. Either look for a previous version of the software or upgrade your system.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
B. Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Will Photoshop Elements 10 work with Microsoft 8.1 operating system?

    When selecting the option e-mail from the Elements Organizer to share a picture, the program stops with a note from Elements Organizer stating they could not finish creating the e-mail message. I never experienced this problem when it was operating in my older computer running on Windows XP.  Will Photoshop Elements 10 work with Windows 8.1?

    Depends on what e-mail client you're using. I believe that for W8 you need to install the Windows 7 version of Windows Live Mail.

    PSE6 would install and work on windows 7 fine. There might be some issues where application interacts with OS, so you can expect some issues in OS dialog boxes that are opened in application like import dialog box.

    Yes, PSE versions 6 through 12 work in 10.9, although PSE 11 is a bit buggy. All other versions are fine, including PSE 12.

  • Will Photoshop Elements 10 work on 64-bit Windows XP?

    I am currently running 64-bit Windows XP on my desktop PC and am interested in upgrading to the latest version of Photoshop Elements.  I see in the system requirements for version 10 that it supports Windows XP Service Pack 3.  Since Microsoft never released a 64-bit build of Windows XP Service Pack 3 (the last service pack available for 64-bit Windows XP being Service Pack 2), will Photoshop Elements 10 even install, let alone work, on 64-bit Windows XP?
    Please DO NOT suggest that I upgrade my PC to a later version of Windows.  I already have Windows 7 on my laptop, but I want to use Photoshop on my desktop PC.

    Matthew25187 it should work ok on Windows XP 64-bit.  The main issues for 64-bit are around drivers as long as your display driver has been functioning fine you should be ok.

  • PhotoShop Elements 6 for Mac under Snow Leopard?

    Hi. Apple's new operating system for Mac, Snow Leopard is being released tomorrow.
    According to the Snow Leopard wiki, Photoshop Elements 6 does not work under Snow Leopard:
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    I contacted Adobe to ask if they had any plans to update Photoshop Elements 6 to work with Snow Leopard.  The response I got from their support was that Adobe Photoshop Elements was programmed before Snow Leopard and so they weren't responsible if it didn't work.
    I am pissed because of course Photoshop Elements was programmed before Snow Leopard.  EVERY software program was. Most of my software (and I have a lot of apps) are being updated for Snow Leopard by their developers.
    I'm writing this post just to make sure that Photoshop Elements doesn't work under Snow Leopard. It's possible whoever posted that Photoshop Elements didn't work under Snow Leopard could have been having an isolated problem.
    So, if anyone tries Photoshop Elements with Snow Leopard, please post here whether or not it works.
    Thanks a lot.

    No, there are no significant known conflicts with Snow Leopard, so that's not your problem. Have you deleted prefs since the upgrade? Was this an upgrade in place rather than an erase install? If so, go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
    com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 Paths Folder
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 Settings Folder
    Opera preferences
    repair permissions and see if it's any better. Do you have any third party content installed in PSE? There may well be conflicts with that, if so.

  • Will Photoshop Elements 7 work with Windows 7?

    I am considering upgrading my laptop's operating system from Windows Vista to Windows 7 and just wanted to make sure that my photoshop (ver7) which i payed for when i bought the laptop, would still work even with the upgraded operating system.
    Thanks.

    You should be alright, however you would have to save you actual catalog files, and also transfer the photos to another machine while you make the upgrade, then reconstruct the file structure exactly as it was in Vista. This supposes you will be doing a clean install of the new OS, which would include a reformat of the HDD. Even if you are planning an upgrade installation, you would be best advised to back everything up.
    What I'm saying here is, if you want to install PSE-7 in Windows 7, yes, it will work, even in 64bit Win 7. But, if you expect to be able to transfer the collection intact to the new installation, you will have to do some prep work to make this happen.
    Transfering catalogs to a new machine, operating system, or a different version of PSE is a common discussion here, and some research of these types of threads would likely be of great benefit to you before you make the move.
    There is another consideration with respect to the laptop itself. You need to check if the proper drivers will be available from the manufacturer's website for Windows 7. If your machine never shipped with Win 7, you could have problems. Many Vista drivers will poissibly do the job under the new OS, but it isn't anything I would count on as a certainty.

  • Will photoshop elements work with Encore or do I have to have the full Photoshop

    hi there,
    I'm using Premier Pro and Encore Cs5.5. I do not create fancy menu's. At the most, I put a photo or two on a background of color and some text.
    My work is on my Mac.   I have photoshop elements on a windows PC in another room. I've been going between the two machines using photoshop elements on the PC to create the menu's and then sending them over to the mac for Encore use.  Obviously, this is not optimal and I expect the PC to die any day now. Therefore, I thought I would buy Photoshop ELements for my Mac.
    So, my question is "will photoshop elements" work ok on my Mac with Encore? Or, do I have to get the full blown Photoshop ? Advice?
    thanks everyone !

    For what you are doing, PSElements for Mac, should be fine.
    Unless it has changed recently, when working with Menus in PSE, was the inability to CREATE a Button Layer Set. You can edit them, just not create one. If you are just modifying the Library Menus, and Buttons, there should not be an issue
    Now, I believe that you will still not have the full functionality of Encore and PS, where you have the option to "Edit in Photoshop," right from Encore. What this does is create a TMP file, for the Menu, that is linked back to Encore, then launches PS, and Opens that linked TMP in PS, and when editing is done, one only has to Save in PS, and those changes follow the link back to update the Menu in En. You will have a slightly different workflow, where you would launch PSE, Open the Menu and edit it, then I would do a Save_As, so as to not overwrite the original, then in En, Delete that original, and Import the Save_As file as a Menu, and use that. It would be easiest to do all of the Menu editing in PSE first, then Import those as Menus into En, and just use them, as you would a Library Menu. Remember, you need to start off with a Menu, so that you have the Button Layer Sets, as you cannot create those. A bit different workflow, and not quite as convenient as Edit in Photoshop. As I do not have PSElements to test with, check me out that Encore will not link up to PSE and offer "Edit in Photoshop Elements," but it is my understanding that it will not. I just cannot verify. Also, check the latest version of PSE (you should be able to do this on the PC, while it runs) can now create the Buttons' Layer Sets. PSE 8 could not, and I do not believe that that function has been added to PSE 9.
    Good luck, and with those exceptions, PSE 9 for the Mac should be just fine. You might want to wait a month, or so, as PSE 10 and PrE 10 should be released around the end of Sept., or the beginning of Oct., if history holds true. Do not know what will be in PSE 10, but maybe Layer Set creation?
