    This does not inovolve iPhoto for the Mac in any way

     

    I am pretty sure the answer is no but to actually get more than a guess you need to ask Adobe or Adobe users on an Adobe PhotoShop Elements forum

    You can't.

    To use My Photo Stream you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:

    • iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
    • Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later
    • Apple TV (2nd generation) with Apple TV Software Update 5.0 or later
    • PC with Windows 7 or later and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows

     

    There is no provision for streaming to 3rd party apps.

    By default, iPhoto automatically imports from PhotoStream. Then, when you open Elements 12, simply ask it to import from iPhoto.  I think it's smart enough not to import photos from iPhoto that it's already imported in the past.  That's a manual workaround, but it's pretty simple.

    I'm not at all sure, because I'm a recent Mac convert, but it might be possible to set up an AppleScript task that would do that, automatically triggered by opening Elements
