Direct Download Links for Adobe Photoshop/Premiere Elements 10
September 21st, 2011 Leave a comment
[UPDATE (September 2012) – These still work to download the Elements 10 trials. We also now have the new Elements 11 Direct Download Links!]
Continuing our history of providing the direct download links for major Adobe products such as Creative Suite 6, Lightroom 4, and Acrobat XI, below you’ll find the direct links from Adobe’s servers for free trials of the brand new releases of Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10, for both Windows and the Mac OS.
The links given below go to the authentic and secure files residing on Adobe’s servers, are guaranteed genuine and will not change. They are especially useful when you are unable to download Adobe’s free trials via other means – often due to difficulties with the Akamai Download Manager (the Adobe DLM). With the links provided below, you can use your own browser’s download capability, or another download manager of your choice.
For setting up Elements on Windows (both PSE 10 and PRE 10), each program consists of two downloaded files: an .exe and a 7-Zip file (.7z). The .exe file will only work (and install) once the .7z file is fully downloaded and resides in the same location. For the Mac, it’s just a single .dmg file for each program.

Installation Tips
- You do not need to uninstall previous versions of Elements; some users prefer to keep the older, familiar version(s) around as they come up to speed with the new version’s features.
- Install with an account that has administrative privileges (not a Limited User Account if you are using Windows Vista).
- For the easiest installation experience, quit any open programs, including virus protection software, prior to installing Elements 10.
- Read the accompanying Photoshop Elements 10 Release Notes in English, French, or German.
- If you run into any difficulties, see the Elements 10 Installation Troubleshooting page.

Yay! Thank you! The registry edits were the solution. Finally, iTunes showed no Elements albums, and I was able to reconstruct everything after a catalog backup and restore.

That’s great Ken, glad to hear it and thanks for letting us know that worked for you.
I finally got this downloaded and when I went to open the app, my Mac says I cannot since it wasn’t approved from the app store. How can I override this to be able to install onto my Mac?
Hi Lindsay, what does it say exactly? Typically in cases like these, googling the exact text of the message will give you the answer.

“Install can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers.”
You were absolutely right! It is installing now, so I hope it works! Thank you!
