Adobe apparently felt that doing a total upgrade for Mac PSE was not necessary because the functions would be redundant.Īdobe has always introduced the Window’s version of Photoshop Elements first followed some 8 to 10 months latter with the Mac version, look for an Universal edition sometimes next year. The differences between PSE 6 for Wincrap and PSE 4 for Mac is covered by iPhoto.

The last Mac version of Photoshop Elements was Version 4 - the Windows version is now at v6, and the Mac version is not native on Intel processors, so you’ll take a performance hit. One factor weighing in PE’s favor might be that PE + Illustrator + Acrobat do give you a pretty well-integrated all-Adobe environment for a PDF-centered work flow. I’ve used PE at a pretty amateur level for several years (I’m considerably more into doing technically oriented vector graphics in Illustrator) and wouldn’t quarrel with any these "it’s OK, but you may not need it" opinions that have already been voiced. This is a highly-regarded product in the Mac community. GraphicConverter does all you require, is universal binary, and according to what I hear the author is known for his excellent support. Meaning it doesn’t run native yet on Intel processors. Photoshop Elements is not a universal binary. I haven’t yet explored the photographic applications already in Mac OS X.ġ.

I am leaving Windoze for Mac OS Leopard and need to decide whether to buy the Mac version of Photoshop Elements.
