I want to purchase Photoshop Elements 10 from the App Store. But I have Photoshop Elements 8 installed. Do I need to "uninstall" 8 before installing 10? If so, how?
That would be a question better asked of Adobe. To the best of my knowledge, you do not need to uninstall Elements 8 before downloading Elements 10, but Adobe would be the best source of authoritative information.
There's a separate forum for Mac App Store questions, by the way; just FYI.
Regards.

No, you don't. I have PSE 6, 8, 9, 9-app store, and 10 all running on my computer. Do be aware that the app store version doesn't include the organizer component, and if you shoot raw, updating the raw converter is a tedious manual process instead of semi-automatic.
Thank you varjak. I was not aware of that separate forum. Helpful info.
And thank you Barbara. I don't need the organizer; but I do shoot RAW. If I purhased directly from Adobe would I still have to update the raw converter?
The regular versions of PSE 10 have the same kind of automatic updating (just go to Help>Updates and let the updater do its thing) that full Photoshop has. You can update the raw converter in the app store version, but since apple requires that everything in app store programs has to live within the app package itself, the file paths are different, so unless adobe updates the whole program so you can update through the app store, the adobe updater doesn't know what to do. You can do it manually, but it's kind of complicated to dig everything out of the adobe update, not as simple as it was in older versions of PSE.
This thread over at the adobe forum gives you the general process for updating the app store version:
