PSE ???'s
This app looks interesting. I just got finished organizing my photos into Aperture. And I would like to start learning how to edit some of my photos in pixel level. The full-blown PS is too expensive, for my skill and artistic (or lack of) level... Just a few questions about PSE:
How well does PSE work with Aperture? If I stored a photo in RAW in Aperture, and edit it with PSE, does PSE convert it first to some other format before editing? To what format?
I know that in Aperture, if I was to edit a photo, it does not create another copy of the file. Rather, I end up with metadata of my edits. So I end up with a ~5 meg file (orig) + just kb's of metadata. If I was to edit the same photo with PSE, do I end up with with two ~5 meg files?
Sorry for the PS newbie questions.

Windows PSE to Mac PSE Upgrade
For those of you who might be in my position: I had been using a fully registered copy of PSE 5.0 on my Windows PC before switching to an iMac in September.
I called Adobe, and they will honor a properly licenced Windows version of PSE for the upgrade price to Mac PSE 6 ~ $69.
The only catch: They will not do this on a pre-order basis, and the licensed user of Win PSE must wait until the product is actually shipping.
It's only about $20 but, hey, 20 bucks is dinner at Pizza Shack if you don't drink too much beer. 😀

ditto...
yes the same thing happened to me. You were somewhat lucky as there were half a dozen or so photos....I lost hundreds....stupidly left with thumbnails...I like Windows Live Picture Gallery is much stable and simple product...

Pre-ordering the upgrade from Adobe plus the 10% MWSF discount brings it to $62.99. Anyone know if the Amazon price will be anywhere near this? I'm guessing not since they'll only offer the full version?
PSE 6.0 for mac not cool
I have a new intel iMac. 2 GB ram so room is not the issue. I cannot open a photo for iPhoto application. When I try it crashes my computer. If it can't find a file it crashes my computer. I have spent more time trying to find out why it does not work than working with it. I can be editing a photo and if I go to another window for anything PSE 6.0 freezes up and I have to force quit. I have been in touch with Adobe and Apple they both point fingers at the other and no one is trying to help me on this.

There's never been a Mac version of Premiere Elements.
Adobe probably dosn't want to compete with iMovie.

Might be the in the future though. After the disaster known as iMovie '08 and the similarly downgraded final cut express hit the scene they remarked if they would have known Apple would have done this, they would have done a version of premiere elements.
