Direct Download Links for Adobe Photoshop/Premiere Elements 11
September 25th, 2012 Leave a comment
Continuing our custom 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 the free trials of the all-new releases of Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11, for both Windows and Mac OS.
These links go to the authentic and secure files residing on Adobe’s servers, are guaranteed genuine, safe, 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 or Adobe Download Assistant…
With the links provided below, you can use your own browser’s download capability (without DLM), or another download manager of your choice.
For setting up Elements on Windows (both PSE 11 and PRE 11), 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 11.
- Read the accompanying Photoshop Elements 11 Release Notes in English, French, or German.
- If you run into any difficulties, see the Elements 11 Installation Troubleshooting page.

I am a retired College Prof, and have embraced photography as a hobby virtually all my life. As a non-professional photographer, I have enhanced my digital photography skills, and hobby, through “digital image manipulations”. I found the “Elements” line a wonderful series to enrich my photographic skills and have finally managed to have some of my slideshows (with musical background) published on YouTube.
Found Photoshop too demanding (time, and price) and as strictly a non-professional photographer have embraced your Elements series, from version 2, I think.
But, you keep coming out with Elements Series too fast for me to keep up. Currently have version 7 on one computer and version 8 on another.
Found so little difference between 7 and 8!
The question is, “is it worthwhile for me to invest in Elements version 11?”
Don’t want to “try” it, since I don’t have time and inclination to find out what may or may not be “better”, and can never find out from the “cursory” descriptions how I could really benefit from the “advanced” versions.
Do you really think that version 11 will be a great improvement (over 7, or 8)?
Appreciate any comments and also, tell me of any discount if I upgrade my version 7, or 8 to 11?
Hi Ludwig, thanks for your comment and questions. One of the biggest and most important changes in version 11 is improved ease of use. Adobe has heard the frequent feedback that even Photoshop Elements can be somewhat complicated for beginners to learn, and created a more intuitive editing environment with three settings: Basic, Guided, and Expert. So no matter what your level of proficiency, and no matter how far you want to go with the program, you will find it easier to get your work done in Photoshop Elements 11 and learn more by doing so.
The Organizer was reengineered as well, to be faster and more stable. And there are new features in there too, such as Refine Edge for complex selections, plus maps for photo geolocation. We’ll have an in-depth article soon on the differences, but in the meantime check out our Elements 11 Release Guide with a review.
This is just what’s been added to 11 since version 10. The Elements product line comes out every fall so naturally there were also changes between versions 10 vs. 9, and between 9 vs. 8 (which added content-aware plus layer masks).
If you upgrade from any older version you will receive a discounted price from Adobe, and you can easily do the upgrade after using the trials linked above on this page, without the need to reinstall. Your photo catalog will also automatically migrate up from your prior release.
Hope this helps!

Hi there, I’ve purchased the Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 & Adobe Premiere Elements 11 discs from a shop. I don’t have a disc drive on my computer, they told me in the shop that I could download from your website and just put in my product number from my discs I purchased. I can’t seem to find anywhere on your site I can do this, I’ve only found this one above but seems to just be the free trial. Could you please point me in the right direction. Thanks.
Hey there Karen, you’re at the right place! You just download the free trial(s) above and then you activate the product permanently by entering your valid serial number when it asks. That’s it.
The software is the same, in fact the version on your discs is actually a free trial as well – it’s the license key you purchased from Adobe that makes all the difference.
Hope this helps!

Hi!
I own a legitimate Photoshop Elements 1.0 CD, came with a camera I bought many years ago.
Now I would like to install it, but a wide scratch over the CD surface doesn’t allow me to successfully do that.
So I thought to download it from Adobe website, but I cannot find any download for Photoshop Elements but version 11.
Even if I (just today, indeed) registered the product by its serial number on Adobe site, nevertheless I can’t see anything about it in My Adobe account as well (obviously in My Orders there is nothing, as I took my Elements 1 as a bundle).
My question is: where can I download Photoshop Elements 1.0?
Thank you in advance for your kind help.

Oh, I forgot: nothing to do with Adobe ftp.
At ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/photoshopelements/win/1.x/ you will find just pse2trial.exe (and not the expected pse1trial.exe); such a weird thing…
So sorry, wish we could help you somehow but Photoshop Elements 1.0 is almost twelve years old now, and we have no direct download link for it… Really only recent versions here, going back to PSE 8.
And it looks like you have already tried Adobe’s FTP server for old software, so there’s nothing else we could add except to say that PSE 1.0 does still qualify for an upgrade discount to the latest release, if that’s something you wanted to consider.
Best of luck with it!
Thank you for your prompt reply.
I guessed this could happen: PSE 1 is really an old version, and I made a mistake in trusting a backup copy to be not necessary.
Thanx for your suggestion ’bout the upgrade discount (even if PSE 1 is even more than I need for my needs), I’ll give a look on it.
Bye

trop bien, trop cool! :)
c’est trop bien mais j’arrive pas à le télécharger, c’est sa le hic.. Quelqu’un pourrais me conseiller, ou m’aider ? sa serais très gentil, parce-que j’en ai vraiment besoin, plus tard, je veux faire des montages de photos pour gagner ma vie, et je ne trouve pas photoshop à télécharger, aucun ne marche… Une idée ? Un site ? Une réponse ? merci.
Salut Sobreroo, normalement il n’y a pas de problème – avez vous suivi attentivement les instructions de téléchargement en haut de cette page?
I just purchased a Microsoft Surface Pro computer. I have Photoshop Elements 6 on my old computer and would like to transfer it to my new computer but don’t know how to do so. I will probably upgrade once I get the old Elements 6 transferred. Please advise.
Thanks, Ron
Greetings Ron, you should be able to just follow these instructions for how to switch Adobe software between computers.
You can also move or upgrade your existing photo catalog easily enough, either before or after you move the program.
How to install after downloading both photoshop elements 11 .exe and .7z folders
Basically you just run (double-click) the .exe file, and that will start the process… Just follow the installation instructions linked in Step 6 above.
why is it that when I try to download the file 1 or 2, it opens another window telling me that access is denied?
Hi Gary, make sure you carefully follow the download instructions given near the top of this page.
Then, if you still have any difficulties, try with a different web browser, computer, or Internet connection (avoid Wi-Fi).
I’m sorry but this web page is really confusing, I can’t see anything at the top of the page that looks like a download and where are the instructions? I can’t see them. Maybe I’ll just give it a miss. Or is it because I need to create an Adobe account?
Hey Gary, not really sure what to say – the step-by-step instructions are just above under “Note: Very Important Instructions,” and the download links are under “Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 (PSE 11) Direct Download Links,” for both Windows and Mac OS.
Creating an Adobe ID (if asked) would literally take 30 seconds.
Are we on the same page? There is no direct download links or very important instructions, it just seems to be a comments page.
Don’t understand. It’s this page, the one that you’re reading this on.
ok I give up, I’ll try somewhere else, thanks anyway.
There’s nowhere else that you should try to download Adobe software from except direct from Adobe’s servers, otherwise it’s not safe.
it’s only a trial anyway, I’ll use a different product

I currently own PS Elements 11 and have it installed on my desktop. I’m thinking about buying a Surface Pro – can you confirm if I can use PSE 11 on a Surface Pro?
Well, checking the complete system requirements for Photoshop Elements 11, the Windows 8 o/s is supported – and the Microsoft Surface Pro is a full Windows 8 device – so you should be able to run it.
While we haven’t tried it ourselves here, being compatible and able to install these kinds of applications is perhaps Surface Pro’s biggest selling point as a tablet.
