Does serif photo plus 4 require activation? if so is it valid as an old version? I used this software before and really like it.

This is old software. They try to sell you the new software. It really messed up my computer. Made it impossible to just print a picture. Don't buy this software. I took it off my computer and threw the disc away.

My box states Version 23. All I know is it works well with my Windows 7 and Windows 8 laptops. I've used it for a few months and have had no issues with it. I have always likes using all the older versions of Print Shop over the years so that's why I bought the newest one because I upgraded my computers.

If you don't already own Lightroom, the upgrade option isn't available. You already have to have an ID in order to get this version.

Hello Mike, This is Clive from EZbackgrounds. I had not worked with PhotoSuite in a while, so I took some time to download the new version and test it out to see if it was more compatible than previous versions. Much like Corel PaintShop Pro, PhotoSuite does open psd files, but it does not support various elements of the PSD format such blending modes, effects, text and other elements of the PSD format. Therefore, I cannot recommend it for use with this package that includes frames, actions and other items intended specifically for use in any version of Photoshop. However, PhotoSuite will work with the backgrounds as they are in jpg-compatible tiff format which is fully supported by PhotoSuite. We have a backgrounds-only package available on Amazon that will work perfectly with PhotoSuite. It is the "Premier 100 Digital Backgrounds Package". Enter "digital backgrounds in the Amazon search engine and it should appear as the second item listed behind this package. Although my research was limited to an hour or so, I did find PhotoSuite to be a little buggy. It crashed on me three times while using it. I should note that it could be something particular to my computer configuration that is causing the bugginess and not necessarily something that everyone will experience. For the reasons stated above, I would still recommend Photoshop Elements for use as an alternative to the professional CS and CC versions of Photoshop over any other program I've seen thus far. I hope that helps. If not, or if you have any other questions, feel free to contact us anytime. Best Regards, Clive at EZbackgrounds

I've posted photos from the program to my Facebook page, but it's easier for me to post from the "pictures" files in Windows. As far as "design" goes, I guess I don't use that/those feature(s). I bought the program to play with effects and simple cropping and editing, particularly with RAW/NEF images. I like Paintshop Pro for its ease of use. As an older person, I like to keep it simple and Paintshop Pro does that for me. I also have Photoshop CS3, which I use almost as much, due to being used to using the program.

I found out about Picassa through your post. It is SO MUCH better than my current photo software! Thanks so much for your post. I'm having a great time with Picassa and it's free!! Made my first movie a few days ago - so user friendly.

Every time windows did an update I had to reload 3.5 printshop in order to make it work properly. I got tired of doing that and took it back. I just used my printshop 21 and installed it on my windows 8 machine and it works. Altho when you run the printshop 21 installation it actually says it is not compatible and may not run. But I tried it anyway, and it worked. I have an HP laptop that is about 1.5 years old, running windows 8.1, with 16 gig of ram. So it is a fairly up to date machine.

I called adobe yesterday on this. I want to upgrade from a CS upgrade. They said that will work fine. **EDIT: It worked, no problem. **

It is compatible and does work with previous versions of printshop. The problem I found with it so far is that it does not allow you to make tables and does not permit you to acquire scanned photos directly. Both were part of previous versions. I find transition from earlier Printshops is much more complicated. The format has changed and has more moving parts which is time consuming. I kept version 23 on my other computer which is much easier to use. I am trying to return 3.5 but have had no response after filling out return form. Bottom line I am not happy with 3.5.

I seriously doubt it. I finally threw it out because it was too old and would not work on my newer XP version or Windows 8 machine. I got the message it was already loaded, but it was not there in either machine. Too bad because only decent program I could find that let you change your art to JPG format. All the other programs I have tried you can only open the art work with the program you made it with and couldn't find any conversion software online that worked either

I've used Portrait Professional 10 and 11 with both Lightroom 3,4 and currently 5. Works very well with my workflow when retouching my images. I really don't use it with Photoshop as Lightroom is my base tool from which I start my processing.

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

Eileen: Call up Adobe and let them know that you switched from Windows to a Mac and wish to switch your Adobe software to the Mac version. When I made the switch, I called them up and they sent me out the Mac versions of my Photoshop CS2 and Photoshop Essentials at no charge (I may have had to pay shipping). It was a one-time offer... in other words, I could not switch back (for free) if I later decided I wanted to switch back to the Windows version again. This was about a 1 1/2 years ago, and I'm not sure if they still offer this option. I wish that Adobe would release a single box containing both the Windows and Mac versions of their software, like they did with Lightroom.

You use the "key" numbers and letters to activate the software. When asked, you fill in the blank with this info. I have had a problem completing the install process in order to upgrade my 2000 version to the 2013. I am using windows 7 on one computer, but have been unsing Windows XP which worked fine with Outlook 2000.

I am not really familiar with version 4 but I can tell you that between Photomatix 5 and Photomatix Pro 5, about the only real difference is that pro allows you to work in batch. Each of the two can be run in either 32 bit or 64 bit. Each allow the user to make a quick photo-style selection (default, balanced, photographic, smooth ... etc) then manipulate manually from there to suit your taste. The results for the most part are generally pleasing. More recently I have added Pro Photo Editor and find that it is as easy to use but has a LOT more bells and whistles for even more pleasing results. Between that and Elements 11, There is little that can't be done to enhance a photo to exactly the shot you were looking for and are proud to publish.

T.Dooley: If your are referring to the current $20 "upgraders" rebate (http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/00/00/02/40/10/05/240100530._V264287305_.pdf), then you don't need to own a previous version of the software to qualify. The rebate lists a total of thirteen qualifying products (eight of which are not even Adobe apps). In the list, you will notice Google Picasa (http://picasa.google.com/) which is a FREE application. And, as proof of ownership, they merely request "a printed screenshot of the About screen located in the Help menu of the product." The rebate doesn't expire 'til October 2009. So, if you still have your sales receipt and your software box (or at least TAB#1), then go ahead and claim your $20 (or send the paperwork to me...I could always use some gas money).
