Will photoshop elements 2.0 be able to download and operate as I am now using Ubuntu since XP died.

XP died? Funny. It's still alive on one of my machines. It's no longer being supported, but that is not the same as being dead. Photoshop Elements 2.0 had not been supported by Adobe for over a year now, but it is not dead either. In fact, I am using it on my Windows 7 machine. It looks for but doesn't find the mother machine for updates, but it also is still working. I have not tried to install it on a Unix machine (I also have one with Ubuntu interface), but now that you mention it, I probably ought to try it and see what happens.

It can run Photoshop, yes. However, performance will not be great- especially when applying CPU intensive features like rendering or filters.

Works for me [though W8 is a little strange from XP], I do a lot of foto editing almost daily. There are many tools that I haven't used [or used much] so glitches may still occur. I would say, if you have your computing power up, go with it.

I have Elements 5 and Paintshop Pro 8 (and 7). All are very good, but the emphasis is different. I use Elements for processing my DSLR photos using the included Adobe Camera Raw. It is reasonably easy to use and the quality of the results is excellent. I use the PTlens plugin to correct for lens defects and Elements works well with this. I very occasionally like to use a feature that Adobe has left out in order to avoid competing with full Photoshop. Examples include Curves adjustment layers and fully automated batch editing. In this case I switch to Paintshop Pro, which invariably does have the missing feature. If you don't know why you would need these features, you probably don't! I don't use the built in Organiser, because I started using Picassa (free from Google) for this purpose and I see no reason to change. For design work, such as web design, I would personally choose to use Paintshop Pro, because its feature set is more complete, (Paintshop Pro 8 is roughly equivalent to Photoshop version 6), and because those advanced features are more easily accessible. Other people that I know would choose to use full Photoshop instead, and I can understand their point of view. Photoshop Elements needs quite a powerfull (i.e. new) computer, if it is not to seem slow. I understand that this is also true for the latest Paint Shop Pro. Finally, you can download both of these products for a free month's trial, so why not try then out and make your mind up after that?

I am using Mac OS X 10.9.1 with Photoshop CS6 with no problem. It works well.

It will run Adobe Photoshop (I have CS6 Master Collection installed). The external resources will be limited by the single USB port and the speed. Your cache settings in PS Preferences will be limited as well with only a 256GB internal drive. You can specify the alternative cache area for your external drive in Photoshop, but once again the speed is limited by the USB interface. If you are a photographer and in the field, this will work until you can get back to your desktop. I found the screen too small to work with the precision required for Photoshop. Lightroom might be the alternative if you are just fixing photos.

I'm on Windows 7 / 64 Bit, but don't scan into Photoshop. It works great scanning into Paint.NET.

If you are going to buy Photoshop Elements and have Windows 8** already on your computer, I would recommend you get the latest version of Photoshop. I believe elements 9 would work under the compatibility mode setting; but, you would not have the best or the most current version of Photoshop . There are a number of updates that make the program work much better. Best to get the latest that is written to work with the latest windows OS.

It should be able to be used with any program. I have not personally used photoshop or lightroom, so can't say. For photoshop, if that is online (web-based app now, I think), the keystrokes may be messed up if you have specific strokes for your web browser, but not sure how photoshop works. It is a great keyboard supplement but not replacement. I use it synergistically--but it is a great add on.

Once you go forward, you can't go back. But you should be able upgrade to CS5 from PhotoShop 7. If you are trying to upgrade from PhotoShop Elements to CS5, its not going to work as Elements is a striped down version of PhotoShop. You have to upgrade CS to CS.

By the way, I used to run Elements 2 on a Vista machine, and that worked fine, so I would assume version 4 would too.

When you bought this version you made a decision for the window system. You need a mac version. You may be able to deactivate your win version and request a mac version.Ask Adobe Photoshop Support Center under Help at top right menue bar.Hope this helps - good luck.Wernerl

So far mine seems to work fine with Vista. Vista drivers can be downloaded from Canon. On the other hand, Photoshop Elements 4.0 is NOT Vista compatible (though it working so far). Adobe does not plan a Vista upgrade. Scanners sold now should not be bundled with software that is not compatible with the current version of Windows!

Can I use this with Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit and cs4 ? I haven't bought the adobe cs4 yet so I don't know

I think the "Dual Install" ability on Windows and Mac is a great feature. My first purch was the Photoshop Elements 2006, I have an HP Laptop and a MacBook Pro so I had to buy them separate and it gets costly to do this. So buying one with the installation available for both my machines is great. I never buy software from a "download" I buy actual hardware, I want physical material in hand to find if needed to reinstall or look up info.

I purchased Photoshop several years ago as a student and have purchased an upgrade as a non-student. It all worked just fine. Unless Adobe has changed their policy, the "student pricing" is simply a price break for the student and not a "lite" version of their software.
