Installing Elements on a Mac
There's not much you need to do prior to installing Elements on a Mac. If you want to re-
move older versions of Elements, you have to do so them by running their uninstallers. Con-
fusingly, for Elements 6, the uninstaller is the same as the installer . On the first installer
screen, simply choose Remove Adobe Photoshop Elements Components, click Next, and
then click Install. (If you don't have the disc or download file to get to the installer, there's an
emergency uninstaller in Applications→Utilities, but it's much better to use the Elements
disc's installer if you can.) For Elements 8 through 12, you'll find the uninstaller in Applica-
tions→Adobe Photoshop Elements [8, 9, 10, 11, or 12]→Uninstall Adobe Photoshop Ele-
ments [8, 9, 10, 11, or 12].
To install Elements 13:
1. Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet .
You can't install Elements 13 unless you're online. There's no option to wait and let
the program connect later on—Elements 13 verifies your serial number by connecting
to Adobe during the installation process. You can run Elements later without being
online, but you have to be connected during installation.
2. Put the install DVD in your Mac's DVD or combo drive, or double-click the .dmg
file you downloaded to expand it .
Double-click the DVD icon or the .dmg file to see the disc's contents.
3. Double-click the Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 folder .
4. Double-click the Install icon .
If you're installing a download version, you see the OS X window warning that you
downloaded the program from the Internet and asking if you're sure you want to open
it. Click Open.
5. Decide whether you want to install the program as a trial or a purchased version .
If you have a serial number, click Install. If not, click Try.
