Installation Tips

• You do not need to uninstall previous versions of Elements; some users prefer to keep the older, familiar version(s) around as they come up to speed with the new version’s features.
• Install with an account that has administrative privileges (not a Limited User Account if you are using Windows).
• For ease of installation, quit any open programs, including virus protection software, prior to installing Elements 2018.
• If you run into any difficulties, see the Elements 2018 Installation Troubleshooting page.

We suggest using a browser other than Internet Explorer to download the files above. They can be quite large and IE has been known to drop the extension (like “.exe”) from the Windows filename. If this happens and you can’t open a file, then just rename it to add back the extension. But generally, using Firefox or Chrome will work better – and if you have any issues getting the downloads to work with one browser, then try another.

If you own almost any earlier version of either or both tools, then you may qualify for upgrade pricing. And if you’d like to make a significantly bigger upgrade to the full Adobe Photoshop CC (plus Lightroom CC), then consider taking a close look at the CC Photography Plan before making a move.
