Hi there,
Only today I began the switch from PC to Mac and have been downloading or installing extra software similar to what I use on PC.
One of the discs I dug out was Adobe Photoshop Elements which I used all the time on Windows for resizing images, basic editing and producing very basic transparent web graphics.
Of course the software is Mac compatible but it moaned because I did not have Mac Classic installed. I am guessing this is a version of Mac OS prior to OS X?
I also found a PSE 2 disc and when I ran setup I had the same problem.
I am no artist by any means I was hoping for recommendations on some similar compatible software. Looking on Adobe it looks like PSE 6 is only for Windows XP and Vista. Perhaps an intermediate version is OS X compatible?
Since I have used PSE previously I would certainly consider purchasing a version of this program but am open to other freeware/licensed software suggestions.
I was a little surprised as Photoshop Elements is the only piece of software I have which is suitable for Macintosh. I get the impression that OS X was quite an overhaul which made lots of older Mac software incompatible.
