After quite a few weeks of deciding whether or not to wait for the new iMac's to be released I have finally taken the plunge and ordered an iMac as my 2006 iMac is now getting far too slow for me. One question I would like to know is that I have Photoshop and Microsoft Office 2004 installed on my current iMac and, due to getting the iMac nearly 5 years ago I do not have the installation CD's anymore.
Is there anyway to transfer the installations of Office and Photoshop to my external hard driver, and then when the new iMac gets here on Friday to transfer the programmes over to the new iMac?
If this is not possible then I can possibly get Office from a friend to install but Photoshop would be harder to get. I have looked at Adobe Elements and would just like to know if this would offer the basic functions of Adobe Photoshop I need, mainly to have the Lasso function to remove backgrounds, as I don't really fancy paying hundreds of pounds for the full Adobe Photoshop when it's already installed on my current iMac.
