PE6 after using free trial have bought new copy and installed on Mac Pro. It won’t open files from Aperture or IPhoto to let me edit. I have to drag them to desktop and open them from there.
Any help appreciated

I bought macbook pro 15.4″ with bamboo bundled w/ photoshop elements 6, but it won’t install and the customer service has me running around chasing my tail. Is there something else I can do to make it install. NEW computer and NEW software. What’s the deal? Thanks

I bought Photoshop elements at Fnac Toulouse, France. I have swept the CD as it was dirty and now I can’t read some numbers anymore. Here are what I can read:
1057-0067-..17- 0356- 4869-6917
Can you help me to complete the numbers. Thank you

Hi!
I just installed demo of Elements 6. Edit takes up the whole desktop and unchecking “Fill workspace background” does not change it. I would like to see other open windows … help?
thanks!

HELP!!! I’m new to Mac, & just got my 1st Adobe Elements (6). Nightmare! Told I had to uninstall photo library (no longer free). Impossible. Page just kept going 2 Install. Now where Tutorials sld be, I have list of pix. In all folders (like File Formats) anything I click on says “Can’t complete request as Adobe doesn’t recognise this type of file” I’ve found some info I hope will help – but seems v lengthy process. Is there simple way to 2 uninstall all Adobe stuff (incl old CS3 trial)so I can reinstall disk & start again? Any advice much appreciated. Thanx

Still having problems with PE6 for Mac not being able to properly open animated .gifs – even ones I have made using PE6 for Mac.
I was one of the pre-order folks and it has been this way since receipt. I and others have asked for assistance with this from Adobe and have gotten nowhere.
Do you have any insight on how to access more than just the first frame?
Thanks!
Tom

I cannot get PSE 6 to install after multiple attempts. I already have version 4 installed. Is this a problem? Can I take it back to the Apple Store? [I've forwarded your note to the Elements team, and the PM recommends that you contact tech support. --J.]

Hey, the reinstall did it! I wasn’t expecting it to work, but it solved my problem. Thanks again, though.

I have PSE 6 for Mac and I am having the same problem with “saving for web” as razmaspaz. I’m not as interested in “saving for web” as I am in simply being able to save images in the png format, but I thought “saving for web” might enable this option. I’m going to go ahead and reinstall and see if it does any good, but I would still appreciate any feedback I could get. Any ideas on what I can do to solve my problem?
Thanks.

"The idea is that you wouldn't be using multiple copies at once" ... excuse me but what kind of bollocks is this. Then one is supposed to uninstall/deactivate then install/activate when moving ones ass from desktop over to the laptop and vice versa? [No--you can have the software activated on up to two machines at once. I don't know where you heard otherwise. --J.] Most people do have two or more computers these days, still one single user. Even Microsoft understand this so their software install on more than one computer "at one time". Software companies shoot their own foot when ask us to pay twice for same product. IMHO. Thanks. [Please try reading more closely without going off about "bollocks." Thanks. --J.]

I’m using PE6.0 for Macintosh.
Overall I’m very pleased with the product. However, the specific functionality that I bought the product for- to create/edit Animated GIF images, does not work!
A. File > Save for Web does nothing. No dialog screen, nothing! However, the currently active window does dim, as if an invisible window is now in front. Maybe its off-screen …
B. I cannot properly open animated GIF files. Only the first frame is available for editing. The other frames are no where to be found.
When can we expect a minor update?

I have not been able to find out why my new PE6 takes about a minute to launch.
Also unable to find out why SAVE FOR WEB is not ever highlighted, never works.
Merci

I am not a fan of this so far. I have had it for about five hours and already am having problems opening GIF files and saving for the web. The entire reason I bought this was to be able to use it to work on web pages, which it seems to be completely useless for right now. If someone could please contact me if you know anything, I’d greatly appreciate it.
