Photoshop Elements 13 Installation on Mac

Question

I have a Macbook Pro running Yosemite and I would like to install Photoshop Elements 13 from a disk. I currently have PSE & PRE 9 installed and would like to keep it on there. (However, I am having some issues with 9 since updating to Yosemite.)

I have read some previous conversations saying that when you install PSE running Yosemite, you need to delete preferences before running PSE for the first time. Is that still the case with PSE 13?

If so, how do you do that? That sounds really scary to me.

Thanks for your help.

To get to your user library quickly, from the top menu in Finder, click “Go” whilst holding down the Option (Alt) key and it will appear for you to choose.

There should be no need to delete preferences. That’s only necessary if you upgrade the OS with PSE13 already installed.

You could install from the Adobe download link, if preferred and then validate the installation with the serial number from inside your disk packaging.
