How do I install Photoshop 6 on MacBook (Windows & Academic version)

You need to buy a Mac-Version off Adobe Photoshop!

Maybe you might also consider to start using a newer version off Photoshop!

It is not possible to run Windows applications on a Mac and vise versa!

The .dmg files are image files! Just like a .iso file on a PC. Most of the applications are packaged in these images. By double clinking on them OSX will mount them on your desktop. Then you can drag-and-drop the application to the Application folder on the Macintosh HD to install them. After installing you can unmount the image and delete the .dmg file. You can see them like virtual installation disk's! Disk Utility is just the application which handles the mounting and unmounting off the .dmg file's!

Hopefully this is helpfull or solved your problem. Consider rewarding some points!
Please see the "helpfull" and "solved" button's on top off this message! Apple: Why reward points?

if it is a windows version, it will not download onto a macbook, without the help of bootcamp/parrells. .dmg are 'disk image' there what macs use to download stuff from. .exe are 'executable' and they are when windows computer use to download items. sorry.... hope this helps

Yes, to install Windows software on your Macbook (or any intel mac) you will need to run either Parallels or Bootcamp.

In either case, you will need a copy of Windows to install.

Parallels: ($80.00)

with parallels, you run windows within OS X - I use it and it works great.

Apple Bootcamp: (Free)
http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/

with bootcamp, you partition your hard drive, and boot in either mac OR windows.

once you install either of these apps AND YOUR COPY OF WINDOWS, you will be able to run ANY windows software you want from within the windows environment.

You may be able to use CrossOver to run the Windows version of Photoshop on your computer without needing Windows.
