Can Adobe Photo be transferred from an old pc to an imac?

I don't have a disc because it came loaded on the Dell when I bought it quite a few years ago. I would rather not have to buy it again. . .

    Yes but it would be extremely difficult and not worth the effort. You would have to burn the program onto a dvd from your dell, then rip it onto your mac while running windows or vista or whatever in boot camp. You would then have to use a special kind of customized expander to uncompress the file (as photoshop would be huge). Then, even after the actual install, you would need to run it through a portal window. I would reccomend trying to find photoshop as a torrent, or using the software called GIMP, which is basically a free version of photoshop. I actually prefer GIMP to photoshop because it is open-source software, so you can modify it to fit your needs. Here is the link to that website

    Hope this helps

    You'd have to ask Adobe that. PS CS3 and CS4 can transfer across platforms but you'd have to work with Adobe. With older software one can't.

    first stick your memory stick right into a usb fit on your laptop (it will be the only one which it suits in to)no Then slightly field will arise on your laptop with a itemizing of issues you're able to do. click on "open folder to view documents" or something like that. now as quickly as that folder opens, pass to my documents and locate the photos you choose transfering. spotlight the photos you choose and click and drag over to the different folder. wish i helped! good success!

    nope

    i suppose you could try copy and paste all the files, but it won't be properly integrated with your operating system and will most likely not work
