Installing
PhotoKit-EL on Macintosh
NOTE:
To install PhotoKit-EL, a U.S. or International English version
of Elements 2.0 must already be installed. PhotoKit-EL can not
be properly installed in any non-English version of Elements 2.0
at this time.

When
installing PhotoKit-EL using a downloaded file, you will first
need to UnStuff the file by using the Stuffit utility. Mac computers
come with a free version already installed. However, depending
on the age of your system, you may need to update to a new version.

The
icon of the download file looks like this. The file extension for
the Mac version is .sit. If you have a .zip file, then you have
the Windows version of the installer. Please check to make sure
you have downloaded the correct version for your computer system.

After
unstuffing, you will find a simple folder as pictured above. Double
click on the folder to open it and run the installer.

You
will find the following files and folders; the PhotoKit-EL READ
ME text file, the PhotoKit-EL User Guide (it's an alias to the
main page inside of the folder-please do not move or rename the
folder containing the PKEL Help contents) and the PhotoKit-EL Installer.
When
you launch the PhotoKit-EL installer, you will be prompted by a
splash screen, the PhotoKit-EL End User License Agreement (EULA),
an installer Read Me as well as a warning that you should not install
PhotoKit-EL if Elements 2.0 is already running. If Elements is
already running, we suggest quitting the installer, quit Elements
and re-launch the installer.

The next
screen you will see will ask you if you wish to do an automatic
search or manually locate the correct folder in which to install
PhotoKit-EL. We suggest an automatic search if your system and
applications are all on one hard drive. If you have multiple hard
drives with applications installed on a non-boot drive, you may
wish to manually locate the 'Automate' folder. The proper location
to install PhotoKit-EL is: Applications/ Adobe Photoshop
Elements 2.0/ Plug-ins/ Automate.
Note: if
you are currently booted from OS X and have a computer that also
has a 9.x system that the computer can also boot from, the installer
will properly install all components for both OS X and System 9.x.
However, if you are currently booted from System 9.x, the installer
can only install the required components for System 9. If you reboot
from an OS X startup system, you will need to re-install PhotoKit-EL.

If you
receive the above dialog box, it means that the PhotoKit-EL installer
has found multiple locations where an 'Automate' folder has been
found. Generally this would only happen if you have Elements 2.0
installed in more than one location. Please select the specific
location where you wish to install.

That's
it. PhotoKit-EL should now be properly installed. If you received
an Install Errors, see below. After installing, launch Elements
2.0 and read the next section on launching PhotoKit-EL.

If
you received the error above when installing, the odds are you
do not have a U.S. or International version of Elements 2.0 installed
correctly. The PhotoKit-EL installer can only install properly
when a U.S or International version of Elements 2.0 can be found
on your computer. If you have your Elements 2.0 installer CD, please
do an install prior to running the PhotoKit-EL installer.
Pixel
Genius will be releasing a regionalized version of PhotoKit-EL
in the future but at this time, the installer will only work on
U.S. or International versions of Elements 2.0.
