    Oh my god, I hate the GIMP program SO. GOD.DAMN. MUCH. I do have Photoshop Elements 9 on my home computer, which used to be Photoshop 6 before our old computer died. I think we got Elements for free, but I have no feckin idea if we got a disc for it or not, or whether it was installed with the rest of the computer.

    I'd really like to transfer the program software so I can use it at my boyfriends house, seeing as I'm here a lot and I'm desperate to continue my Ask Fluttercord blog on Tumblr. Is there any way to transfer Photoshop elements without a disc to my boyfriends computer? I'm not even sure if we received a disc for it...My Bf told me it was more than likely that I'd have a slight chance of sucess if I try to copypaste it to a memory card... (Stupid, but only becuz desperate.)

    Or are there any alternative programs other than GIMP? (I already have SAI, but I use it for lineart and base colour as It's not great for effects and there's no Text tool either.) I find GIMP tedious, irritating and it takes me absolutely forever to progress on my blog when I have to use it for adding text, effects and rescaling etc. Don't even get me STARTED on the bloody layers. Having to export to Jpeg every time I work with layers and contantly reopening it on GIMPS horrible file searcher is killing me.


    It's a first world problem, but one I'd REALLY like to resolve. Any help would be appreciated here. I did try researching this for a while, but I'm not getting any definite answers or solutions to my problem. If there's anyone here that could help me in the slightest it would be very much appreciated.

    that's not likely. When you install programs like photoshop information is added to your registry, something you can't virtually mobilize. If you have the setup.exe in the assigned folder then you may be able to transfer that through a flash drive or some other source and run the setup.exe on his computer which will once again install it but you'd probably have to have the registration key as well.

    Ah, I was told about the Setup file, I'm just hoping that they gave us the actual disc for Photoshop elements rather than just let it sit on one computer and not transfer it. You'd think they'd be more leniant considering Photoshop 6 was expensive at the time and they replaced it with something that initially looked quite different. Well, thanks for the advice. When I'm next home, I'll look it up.

    Where did you originally get PSE? If you bought a computer that came with it installed (as a bonus or whatever) they may have included the disc with your PC shipment. I say may have because I've gotten screwed over on that in the past.
