ACR 4.5 worth the download?

First understand that I am new to digital photography so be gentle.
Bought CS3 in January it came with ACR 4.3.1. I like it although I wish it was faster. Just wanted to know if 4.5 is significantly better (noise, sharpness, additional features, etc.). I've been searching the web trying to find a list of the features of 4.5 and can't seem to find anything. As new versions are introduced do most photographers that use ACR just download it immediately or are there reasons to hesitate?

I think I can categorically state that you always want to download and use the latest version of ACR. New cameras are added, other aspects of the plug-in are improved, and the latest version has some new profiles available for it that are associated with the DNG Profile Editor. I won't go into any discussion of that aspect but it is a whole new concept for creating camera-specific profiles. Just look through the forum that you will find countless discussions about it.

Recently downloaded a trial version of CC and when trying to use the Adjustment Brush in ACR it brings up the message 'All the local adjustment controls are set to have no effect on the image'. I've downloaded this as an update to CS5 on my new i Mac. Would appreciate suggestions to remedy this. Rhonda

I think it means "the sliders are all 0 so painting adjustments with this brush won't change anything." In other words, move one of the sliders to a non-zero position, for example Exposure from 0 to 1.0, and then see what happens. You can edit the brush and change it to do something other than Exposure +1.

i need to find the download for ACR 7.3 to use my nikon d600 raw files. i have cs5 running on macbook pro with mountain lion OS.

Hi,
Unfortunatly the 7.x series of camera raw plugin is not compatible with photoshop cs5.
You could download the 7.4 DNG Converter and convert your d600 files to dng copies which then photoshop cs5 will open.

Trying to download song from iTunes on my iPhone 4, it downloads 2.2mb, then restarts; does this about 3-4 times, then says unable to download... I can't get it to download the song at all. Can't even delete the song from the download queue or anything.

It's starting to **** me off, especially since there is no visible "settings" in iTunes. I've tried resuming the download, it just downloads to 2.2mb and then restarts 3-4 times again, I've tried restarting my phone, I've looked up stuff, but can't find a **** thing that works. One thing said to swipe to the left from the down arrow on the right of the download (the tap to resume button), but the delete option doesn't show up when I do that... Anybody have any idea how I can just get my PURCHASED song to actually download?

I purchased five movies for download and having nothing but problems getting them downloaded. I keep receiving error messages and the download stops and I have to restart it, just to get another minute worth of download with each restart. Now Apple has my money and I have nothing.

When I select a title in the iTunes Store and click on Play in iTunes I am sent to the download page for iTunes 10 which I have already. The selected title cannot be found anywhere in my iTunes. How can I get the title in iTunes with possibility to buy it

When I select a title in the iTunes Store and click on Play in iTunes I am sent to the download page for iTunes 10 which I have already. The selected title cannot be found anywhere in my iTunes. How can I get the title in iTunes with possibility to buy it?

The issue is that your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside in order to purchase iTunes content.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location. You can use the iTunes Store in all countries of which you’re a resident, but you’ll either need a separate iTunes Store account for each one, or you’ll need to continually be switching the billing information on your single account. Generally, it’s simpler just to set up an alternative account for these situations, although it’s worth nothing that features like iTunes in the CLoud and iTunes Match are designed to work best when using a single iTunes Store account, as you can only switch accounts with these services every 90 days."

How the download folios bundle work with Professional Edition?

Hello everyone,
I have been trying to get information about some specific questions without luck.
This is the scenario:
We need to develop a newsletter for a company using the Apple Enterprise membership. First wave will be iOS devices only. Second wave will include Android devices. The newsletter will have around 4 issues per year.
1) Using montlhy membership, are the folio downloads accumulative? Newsletter1, Newsletter2 will give us 500 downloads for the first year? And after that, purchasing the 10,000 will distribute the downloads between all of the folios we have published? The number of available downloads are assigned to the user profile instead of individual apps?
2) Does the folio downloads expire?
3) If we are not using iTunes to distribute the newsletter, how do we keep track of the downloads? Does this happen in the application when installed? And this opens the question if we really need the download fee if we are not using iTunes?
4) If using the Creative Cloud (which only works with iOS devices) will gives us unlimited downloads, right? Does this type of folio work with the Apple enterprise membership?
5) If we create the first wave using the Creative Cloud service, and later we get the Professional Edition, can we "transfer" folio information from the CC to the new Service?
I already called:
877-792-3623 as published on the professional's edition page (they say only can help with Enterpise) and sent me to 1800-443-8158 (Volume Licensing) which didn't know the answers.
I'm trying this way because it was kind of frustrating trying to find the answers by phone.
Please, any help would be great.

1) I'm not sure what you mean by "accumulative". See http://www.adobe.com/products/digital-publishing-suite-pro/buying-guide-pricing.html for the included downloads. If you buy monthly then you get 250 downloads per month, and only one month worth will carry forward. If you buy the annual version you get 5,000 downloads, but again, those do not roll over to your next year of service. Folio bundles apply across all publications in your account, not to an individual application.
2) The ones included in your monthly or annual subscription expire at the end of each month or year. A folio bundle purchase expires one year after the date of purchase.
3) For calculating download bundle consumption that's all done by the application itself, not iTunes. The DPS dashboard at http://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/ will show you the download counts for your publications.
4) Creative Cloud only gives you access to building Single Edition applications. That's a complete, self-contained, application with your content inside. There is no ability to download additional content into the application, and therefore no download charges and no "unlimited" downloads. It's just a single, self-contained, application in the app store.
5) If you start with a Single Edition application and then want to switch to a multi-issue application you'll need to make a new multi-issue application with App Builder and submit it to iTunes as an update to your existing application. Your existing content used to build the SE application can easily be re-published (if necessary) so it shows up in the new multi-issue application. Your readers will see an app update available, download it, and then have the multi-issue experience inside the app. If you are charging for the newsletters it will be problematic granting previous purchasers of your Single Edition application rights to the same content in the multi-issue application.

How do i update my camera raw? I can not find the download update I've just brought a new d4s and I'm using the iMac with cs6 version. PLEASE HELP..

The Adobe auto updater is pretty decent in CS6. Just go to the Photoshop Help menu > Updates.
You will be able to update ACR, Photoshop and Bridge right there, if there are in fact updates available.

I'm debating to buy a touch, but is it worth the money?

basically, i have a 2nd gen nano that it really time for an upgrade (i love it, but its slowly dying) i'm debating whether to get a touch, as my family share a classic already, but i'm not sure its worth the money, as i'd buy the 32gb and 8gb isn't really enough for me.. any thoughts?

The advantages of an iPod Touch is that you can set it up to sync contacts, calendars and mail via wireless. The App Store has a huge number of applications which includes a large number of games, utilities for extending the capabilities of the iPod Touch such as wireless disk access, to do lists etc. There are many other categories of apps such as Educational, Reference, Navigation, Sports and News to name a few too. Many apps are free to download and use. The built in camera is good for catching those moments where going to fetch a camera may cause you to miss the moment you wanted to capture.
I would say it is worth the money but only if you can see value in the above features.
Hope this helps

Aperture over iPhoto - Is it worth the money?

I'm sick to death of iPhoto as I now have over 4 different libraries on different hard drives (due to using a laptop and not having enough space, also a recent change in computer), I never know which on is opening and when and it is next to impossible to browse in finder, due to the library not opening as a folder, like iTunes does.
On top of this I went looking for a photo recently and it appears to have disappeared, despite 90% of rest of reel, still there & backed up. I fear the same has happened to another photo as I await one of my iPhoto libraries (which until now I presumed was the master), to upgrade it's software.
I know the whole non-destructive editing means more file on your computer, but don;t understand how itunes can deal with multiple hard drives and iphoto can't (leave a blank thumbnail on the index page if not available at that time, don;t set up a new library)(Rant over!)
I want somewhere, that I can easily and efficiently store my photos in one place so that I don't have to spend 20-40mins trying to find photos when I want them.
Is Aperture worth the €199 and does it solve these issues? Also does it integrate with Photoshop, or will I need to do that manually.
I'm tempted to delete iphoto and just use the finder.

What version of iPhoto are you using?
Iphoto can do what you want, if you take a few moments to set it up.
I want somewhere, that I can easily and efficiently store my photos in one place so that I don't have to spend 20-40mins trying to find photos when I want them.
Get a HD that's large enough for your Photos. Merge your iPhoto Libraries into one and then... you're set.
iTunes doesn't edit. Iphoto (and Aperture) do. That's a rather large difference right there.
Aperture is much more powerful than iPhoto, yes it does integrate with Photoshop, in a broadly similar way to iPhoto. But I'm concerned that if you find iPhoto frustrating hen you may have bigger issues with Aperture.
on different hard drives (due to using a laptop and not having enough space, also a recent change in computer), I never know which on is opening and when and it is next to impossible to browse in finder,
For instance, you can easily set Aperture to run a Referenced Library (where you decide where the files are stored) (and you an do that easily with iPhoto too), but that's of no use to you if you want email or upload the +edited shots you make+. They can't be accessed via the Finder either. (because there is not edited file in Aperture!)
Here's a handy guide I make for iPhoto users to access their files. Almost all of these work for Aperture too.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
O, and by the way, Aperture is much less that €199 on the App store. I recall it's about €70 or thereabouts.
You can download a trial from the Aperture pages on the Apple Site, too

Is Infinity worth the money

Hi What it is, I can get 6mb broadband, and I have been told that i can get infinity, with 20mb download, with 2mb up load with Option 1. Is it worth the £50 ( One off ), and the £19.99.

It depends how much you download or stream video. Although according the the engineer that installed mine, BT is being very cautious on its speed predictions on Infinity, he said every line he'd installed had hit the full 40mbps regardless of what the speed predictions said, so I'd say expect alot more than 20mbps.
There may be a case though, with option 1 that you'd exceed you're usage limit quite easily!

Is it worth the money upgrading from Wireless-G to Wireless-N?

I have a Linksys Wireless-G router, and I'm think about getting a Linksys Wireless-N router. My notebook supports Wireless-N. Is it worth the money? What are the advantages of Wireless-N over Wireless-G? Thanks!

I just bought a N router since my notebook has a N card and unless I'm in the same room, I cant get more than 700kbs download which is not good.
I switch it to G however and its full speed anywhere in the house with great range. This is the second N router btw from 2 different makers and they both did the same thing.
(Edited post for guideline compliance. Thanks!)

The Canon EOS 5D Mark II has been supported ever since ACR 5.2.

Bridge cannot open or process any raw files. Only ACR can. Bridge is just a file browser.

How to find the page that has the downloads?

I am signed in to my valid creative cloud account. All I want to do is get to the page that lets me do the downloads of Acrobat, Photoshop, etc. I can't for the life of me find the page! Please help.

Ted,
For what it's worth, I agree.
My experience is that Adobe has lots of valuable information tucked away in somewhat obscure, hard to find URLs. But it seems to be assumed that these locations are plain and clear and people know where to go.
I find myself getting lost in dark corners of the Adobe website at times. Or sometimes just stuck on what to do next. Then I read through the forums and see that apparently everyone knows but me

Dramatic fall in the download speed from iTune

Hey all,
Recently,I have seen a dramatic fall in the download speed from iTunes.
I have a 100/4mb line, which runs absolutely fine for everything else.
Currently, I am downloading an App on 42mb, which currently says it will take 26 mins to download.
Up until a few weeks ago the same file took 15 seconds!!! This problem is with my 2009 27" iMac.
If I do the upgrade of the same application on my iPhone 5 connected to the same router and Wi-Fi the download takes 15 seconds !!!

At that distance from exchange your max sync should be around the 2K you started with it may well increase again if left on 24/7
SN margin is not bad but may be worth checking for noise problems 6 Db is the target figure
Sn margin quoted by most routers is the figure that the system thinks your line needs for stable operation so higher is not better
Have you tried a quite line test
dial 17070 option 2 and listen - should hear nothing
best done with old type analogue phone digital will do but may have slight hiss
do not use home hub phone
If any post helps tick the star box on the left
Just cause Im paranoid dont mean they are not out to get me
