Laurel Lakey Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I have a Mac as well, but I've never used anything besides Photoshop. So I'm not totally sure, but I would bet that there is a Mac version out there. I know there are a lot of PSP users here, so hopefully one will be on soon to clarify. Sorry, I'm not much help!

maverick9six Posted September 8, 2007 Author Share Posted September 8, 2007 I bought a mac recently (my first one, Yay! and I looooove it) but, I am having a hard time finding any software for the mac that works like a elements does, for example I really want to use Corel Paint Shop Pro ( I think it is easier and user friendly) but I just can not find any software at all! Does anyone know of an alternate photo manipulation software for Macs? If there isnt one then I will reluctantly purchase PSE... Thnks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Arell Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 You've probably answered your own question by now - I just happened to see this as I was browsing through the Mac MB - I use Adobe InDesign for my layouts and I do still use PSE 6, but my primary application is InDesign. I love it - wouldn't trade it anything in the world. I am also a graphic artist and use it for things I do for clients so I started with it long before I started digi scrapping and when I started that I just kept on using my InDesign Software. It makes layouts so easy and you can do layers and styles and everything you want to do - but there are still some things you have to use PSE for. 90% of my layouts however, are done in InDesign.....

Shelbi Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Can you use PSE (photoshop elements) on a mac? It's easier to use the Photoshop but still does lots of cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellbw Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I'm using Pixelmator. I found out about it from the downloads page on the Apple website. I think it is a bit limited yet, but updates happen often and are free after you purchase the software ($59). So far it works well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with PSE really. From what I can tell, the developers are trying to make it like Photoshop. I can follow tutorials fairly easily without adjusting much since the menus are similar from what I have seen. Right now, brushes and styles aren't options, but they are being requested and worked on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happymomof3 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I use a free software called Gimp. It is really powerful, and did I mention it is FREE. I also use Pages. I came with the iLife package. It is easier and faster for more basic pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you ever got a definitive answer, but no, there isn't Paint Shop Pro for Macs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Arell Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I have always had a Mac - have three of them in our house actually. I use Adobe Creative Suite which includes Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. InDesign is my very favorite application and the one that almost all of my layouts are completed in after I have done a few things in Photoshop. Check out Creative Suites - I think they have a free trial of InDesign on their site. You will love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
