A:AnswerMy understanding is that Elements is an abbreviated version of the complete Photoshop suite, but unless you're a professional, Elements should be all you'll ever need.
A:AnswerThe disk contains the exact same software that is available in the download. The only benefit of the Disk is that you will have an offline backup copy of the software.
A:AnswerYou can do either: the CD is available at BB for purchase, or you could download the same product through their website. I am using a digital download, and it works perfectly.
A:AnswerYes! My previous version of photoshop was 8 and I recently upgraded to this one. The new version has all of the old tools (just in slightly different locations) and even more functionality. IMHO it takes longer for the new version to start up and to save, but I'm still glad I upgraded. I hope that helps!
A:AnswerFrom the BestBuy website specs page:
"macOS 10.14 through 10.15 or macOS 11; 8GB RAM; 1280x800 resolution; internet connection for product activation and content download"
What i have found in the past is laptops dont perform as well as the desktop counterparts, usually because desktops have more ram and faster processors. That is a variable i realize, but since laptops cost more than desktops, people tend to get the basic laptops for price; less performance for this type of work. Personally i'd say AT LEAST 512 gb storage for working space and 16gb ram, plus a fast processor... it should work if you meet the MIN requirements, it just might be slow like some reviews said - all you can do is try it and hope for the best.
A:AnswerI had this same problem. Best Buy customer service told me that it was up to Adobe to fix the situation. They were kind enough to refund my money the first time and my second copy worked without a hitch. Are you sure you are using the right code? I know some people actually try to use the numbers you can see outside the box.
A:AnswerYour individual license lets you install your Adobe app on more than one computer, sign in (activate) on two, but use it on only one computer at a time.
A:AnswerPSE 2021 license come with two computer/system uses. If you you already have two. Will have to deactivate one computer and reinstall on new computer.

A:AnswerIt’s a downloadable code. Be careful as it’s difficult to find. It’s says it’s on the box, but it wasn’t. I struggled to find it, so watch for it when your doing your initial set up.
A:AnswerIt doesn't include Lightroom, it only has an Organizer that let's you organize your pictures and open them in Photoshop Elements, but you can't edit them in Organizer. If you open a raw file (.nef, .cr2, .dng, etc.) it will open Adobe Camera Raw and you can edit the raw file there, then open it in Elements.
A:AnswerThe answer is yes. There is a feature that allows you to sharpen them. There is a limit to how much it can be sharpened however. A blurry photo cannot be made clear. If you are downloading a photo or scanning one, make sure you are getting a higher resolution. If you are blowing a picture up, a low resolution photo will not be as clear as it can. I purchased the software and am happy with it. It is not a miracle worker however.
A:AnswerIf you do very many pictures, the "crop suggestions" feature (that you can't turn off) will delay and aggravate you to no end. Suggest finding something else.
