What? Elements 6 is an intel-native program, not a PPC application. But if you do, the first time you try to open it, you’ll see a snarky message that you can’t run PPC applications anymore.
This isn’t a problem for Photoshop Elements 8 and 9, but if you have PSE 6, there’s a big potential gotcha.Īs long as you don’t have PSE 6 set to run in Rosetta (so that you can use older plugins) when you upgrade to Lion, life is fine. As everyone knows by now, in Lion (Mac OS X 10.7) you can’t run applications written for the old power pc (PPC) architecture anymore, since there’s no more Rosetta.
