Will Photoshop Elements or Lightroom run on OS 9? [was: An upgrade or a downgrade?]

I was considering buying my husband lightroom or photoshop elements for Xmas. He is currently using photoshop cs 8.0. He hasn't purchased a new cs because of the cost. It's out of our budget and he doesn't like subscription software. Does either program have any advantages over the old cs version. He mainly uses it to edit family photos and occasionally design a poster. Are there any other mac compatible programs you would recommend instead of Lightroom or elements?
thanks!

He is currently using photoshop cs 8.0.
Which Mac and operating system is your current Mac?
Presumably your husband has an old Mac since Photoshop CS is a PowerPC application which does not install or run on modern Intel-based Macs.
So Lightroom and Elements (which require current Macs and operating systems) will probably not install or run on your current older Mac.
Check the system requirements before you spend any money

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Moving this discussion to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
    Stephylei you will want to download the Mac versions of the installation files.  If you purchased the software from Adobe, and choose the download option at the time of purchase, then the download will be available under your account.  You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

  • Will photoshop elements 12 have camera raw 8.6 support?

    will photoshop elements 12 have camera raw 8.6 support?

    Just a note abour the 8.5 update:
    This morning, opening my computer I got a warning message from 'Adobe application manager' informing me of the availability of that update. I agreed an the update started. It soon stopped with a dialog asking me to stop 'elementsautoanalyzer.exe'. I was sure it was not running in the background. After checking that, I simply clicked on the 'continue' button and the update ran normally. The new version is good in the editor and the organizer.
    So, if you get that message, don't panic...

  • 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?

    See:

    I suppose you are using the organizer : you'll be able to recover your PSE5 catalogs either by a catalog conversion on the same computer or by the backup / restore process.

    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.

  • WIll photoshop, flash and illustrator run OK on Intel?

    WIll photoshop flash and illustrator run OK?
    G4 Dual 1.25   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Will they run OK? Yes. They will not however run at their full potential, as Rosetta translation causes a 10-15% performance hit. Universal binaries are schedule for release in the next quarter, however. Having said that, the extra performance of the Intel iMacs make up for it. This shows that Final Cut Pro, running via Rosetta, is still 50% faster on the Intel iMac than on a G5 iMac.
    Therefore, even at present applications will run faster on the new machine.
