Stupidly just bought Photoshop Elements 4.0 Mac for my brother for Christmas. Have now found out that version 6.0 is due out early next year.

No sign of a free upgrade from Apple - and the cheeky sods charge £20 to return anything less than £300. i.e. the software cost £60 so they want a third of that!

Beware buying anything Apple - yet another reason I have always avoided the bearded, sandal wearing pieces of ****e

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't Adobe actually write Photoshop Elements for Mac so why would they give you a free upgrade?
The £20 return does suck though, I'll give you that!

 

As if Apple are breaded, sandal wearing hippies anymore.. they're the same gray evil bits of corporate scum as Microsoft... except Microsoft doesn't pretend its lovely and fluffy by employing even eviler PR people..

All those Apple users will get whats coming to them..

MARK MY WORDS!!

(..and NO, just because I NEED Quicktime on my computer, I don't want i-any-bloody-thing; stop trying to trick me into installing it!!!!)

So frankly, it serves you right for allowing your brother to buy an Apple. Let that be a lesson for you.

 

haha - you're right - I shall try to re-educate him! I've happily got elements 6.0 on my PC and it's great.

I shall call the 'customer service' line tomorrow to see if I can get them to see sense - I don't mind paying recorded delivery to get it back to them, but £20 is taking the p1ss.

poor deluded fools

photoshop elements on a mac is not pretty, you need photoshop itself
saying that iphoto will do just about everything you want re editing and its bundled with most macs so free

 

I don't understand the concept of paying for software

 

As others have said, it's not an Apple product, so why should they offer an upgrade, it's Adobe you should contact to see if one is available, once the new version is released of course.

The £20 fee sounds like a typical restocking fee, somewhat over the top I know. I'd not be at all surprised if somewhere like PC world charged the same either.

I also agree with the comments about a full version of Photoshop being far, far superior to elements. I guess it depends what you want to do with the software, again, as said by others iPhoto in the latest version of iLife is pretty good.

 

Fair comment re upgrade from Adobe, but £20 for a restocking fee for consumer online retail is taking the p1ss.

Elements is good enough for me - I don't have the need of the full product which is so much dearer (£500?).

I thought with distance selling regulations you would not have to pay that fee so long as you returned it within 14 days. Assuming you have not used it.

It may be worth looking into.

 

Your correct. But it is 7 days from when you receive the product for you to inform the supplier you want to return the product. Then 14 days is the suggested time you to have to send the product back.

If the product has been opened aka seals broken then the distance sell reg no longer applies & its down to the supplier if they will accept the goods back.
