If you havent sorted it soon then I can come up to Bristol and give you help when I am next in UK.  However that is not until next February/March probably.

Or we can try and do it over Skype or the like.

Thanks for the offer JK. I may Skype you if I can't sort. What used to be a simple download for a trial now seems to mean jumping through hoops so that Adobe or whoever can keep track on things. Using LR4 mainly now but Elements 11 at £49 on Amazon today may be enough for me rather than full blown CS6.

Not sure, but you might get a bit of frustration going to Elements after CS.
You get used to a level of 'unnoticed' performance that isnt there in Elements. IMHO

Tried to load PSE11 on my old Mac Mini running Leopard (10.5.9). Does not install.

I will try on a machine with Snow Leopard (10.6.8) later today. I hope that it doesnt require me to have Lion or Mountain Lion to install.

JK Elements 11 needs 10.6 onwards with intel 64bit dual core. So you need Snow Leopard.

Take your point Eric hidden touches make a difference. Tried Elements 10 on my second Mac just to avoid having to activate/deactivate with Adobe when CS stopped working on OS10.7 upgrade. Interface quite different but it did things that CS3 would not do like read my old (pre 2004 caption info). Will look at Elements 11 and mull over wether I need CS6 upgrade in what is rapidly becoming retired mode.

Well I am still very happy sitting on my Mac with Snow Leopard.
I cant see any huge benefits from Lion and Mountain Lion except for some nice features like AirDrop.

Whilst I love the idea that legacy is supported it really is impractical and I know I will need to move to Lion soon as I am experiencing some issues with software that is only designed to run on Lion and Mountain Lion


JK-

The Lion and Mtn Lion upgrades were extremely painless and only $19, so there is little reason not to get them IMHO

JK-

Just realized you said Leopard !

If you hurry, I think Apple will still give you a free copy of Snow Leopard that will be necessary to be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion (Lion and later are only available in the new Apple App Store).

You DEFINITELY should at least get SL - this is the lightest cleanest OS ever :-)

Reflecting on Lion upgrades I agree with TomOC Snow Leopard was last non gimmicky OS. Spaces gave one clear working areas to switch between apps (oops there's a Liony term) and a very slick OS.
