moving presets from PSE6 to 8

[carolgurr]

When I went from 4 to 6, I remember moving brushes and fonts from PSE4 to 6. I've forgotten exactly what I did and I can't find the fonts now, so my questions are can I just drag the extra brushes to 8 from 6 and where are those fonts?? I had downloaded a bunch of other fonts that I want in the new version. When I find them, can I just drag them too?

How do I get iPhoto to open photos for editing in 8 instead of 6?

How do I get Essentials2 to be a part of the menu bar as it was in PSE6?

Hi ...

Elements just uses the fonts that you have installed on your Mac so all your fonts should be there.

Brushes ... just go into Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 6>Presets>Brushes and drag the ones you want into PSE8 (same place as in PSE6)

iPhoto ... you need to go into iPhoto prefs>General ... and change Edit with to PSE8 instead of PSE6

Essentials2 ... I haven't tried installing it yet so I don't know if it works in PSE8 or not. Maybe one of the others has tried it ??

After I posted the question I figured out the fonts. I had looked at the preferences, but it said edit in PSE, but didn't have a number by it. Got it now.

Thanks for the info.

Hi Carol ...

So glad that you have sorted out the fonts :)
