Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 12:30 am

Photoshop Elements is a powerful, yet easy-to-use, photo editing software application from Adobe. Even though it is considered a consumer-level program, Photoshop Elements has many of the same features as its big brother, Adobe Photoshop.

If you own a previous version of Photoshop Elements, you may be wondering how to go about updating to the latest version. In this article, we will walk you through the process of updating Photoshop Elements on both Windows and Mac computers.

Step 1:

First, you will need to check and see if your computer meets the minimum system requirements for the latest version of Photoshop Elements. On Windows, these requirements are:

– Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon 64 processor
– Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 3 or Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise with Service Pack 1 (Service Pack 2 recommended)
– 512MB of RAM (1GB recommended)
– 2GB of available hard-disk space for installation
– 1024×768 display resolution with 16-bit color video card

Step 2:

Next, you will need to check for updates to your current version of Photoshop Elements. You can do this by opening the program and going to Help > Updates.

If there are any updates available, they will be listed here and you can install them by clicking the Update button.

Step 3:

If there are no updates available for your current version of Photoshop Elements, or if you want to update to the latest version, you will need to purchase it from Adobe. You can do this by visiting their website at adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html.

Once you have purchased the software, you can download it and install it on your computer.

Step 4:

Finally, once you have installed the new version of Photoshop Elements, you will need to activate it using your serial number. You can do this by going to Help > Activate and entering your serial number when prompted.

PRO TIP: Before attempting to update Photoshop Elements, it is recommended that users create a backup of their photos and any other files they may have associated with the program. Additionally, it is important to check that the computer meets the minimum system requirements for the new version of Photoshop Elements. Users should also have administrative privileges on their computer in order to complete the update process.
