Adobe Camera Raw shortcut Windows vs. Mac.

Okay, this is more of a question to see if anyone else happens to know the answer through experience. I have been using a Windows machine for the last 9 years at my full time job. They recently switched me to a Mac. (I'm not suggesting a debate about which is better.) I use shortcuts a lot out of necessity. I will have multiple files in the window and be working in a specific field say Contrast. On the Windows machine, I could hold the ALT key and cycle through the different images with arrow keys while keeping my editing option in Contrast. Without that, you have to physically move the mouse to select an image over on the left side. I know that you can then hit tab to get back into those adjustments but I was used to being able to work so much faster without the mouse by using the ALT plus Arrow keys. On the Mac, I can't find any equivalent shortcut. I would greatly appreciate anyone who could help. I think I can assume that other people understand how important all those shortcuts are.  If I'm not being clear, I can try to explain better.

Thank you 99jon, this may be as close as a fix as I can hope for.  It's still not as fast as the method I was used to, but it definitely beats having to take hands off keyboard and use the mouse simply to progress to the next photo to adjust.  I'll still hope they create the other means of switching among photos, but until then I will use this.  Thanks!

  • +++ Adobe Camera Raw - Frequently Asked Questions +++

    Q: Is my camera supported by Adobe Camera Raw (ACR)?
    A: Here is the list of cameras officially supported by the current version of Adobe Camera Raw and Digital Negative (DNG) converter. The page also provides links to the current version of ACR and DNG converter for both Mac and Windows.

    Photoshop CS5: Camera Raw 6.7 Win | Mac
    Photoshop CS 4: Camera Raw 5.7 Win | Mac
    Photoshop CS 3: Camera Raw 4.6 Win | Mac
    Photoshop CS 2: Camera Raw 3.7 Win | Mac

    Photoshop Elements 4.0.1: Camera Raw 4.6 ( 4.1 under Mac OS 10.3)
    Photoshop Elements 3: Camera Raw 3.6
    Q: What version of Camera Raw started to support my camera?
    A: This page: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111 lists when support for the raw files of your camera was added in Camera Raw. If the version listed is higher than the one supported by your version of Camera Raw, you first need to convert the files to DNG using the latest version of the DNG converter in order to open them in Camera Raw.
    Q: I do not have the latest version of Photoshop, how can I open the Raw files from my new camera?
    A: Only the current version of Photoshop will receive ACR updates that add support for the latest cameras. However, you can download the latest version of the DNG converter, and use it to transform your raw files to the universal DNG format. Camera Raw 2.4 in Photoshop CS and all newer versions of Camera Raw compatible with your version of Photoshop will be able to open the DNG files. Photoshop 7 and ACR 1.0 do not support DNG, therefore you will need to upgrade to the latest version of Photoshop.
    Q: When will the new update of Adobe Camera Raw be released?
    A: Adobe cannot comment on unannounced products, however, it is expected that ACR and DNG converter will be simultaneously updated 3 or 4 times per year (i.e. every 3 or 4 months).
    Q: What does "Unofficial Support" for a camera mean?
    A: Unofficial support means that Adobe's Quality Engineering department has not tested the support to the degree that they want, and thus cannot guarantee the results. So we don't include the camera in our official lists, and don't provide any technical support. Unofficial support means "use at your own risk".
    Q: How do I know that Adobe Camera Raw is installed correctly?
    A: For Photoshop CS customers, the most efficient way to ensure that you have the latest Camera Raw update installed correctly is to choose the Updates option from the help menu. For Photoshop Elements customers the best way to verify that the Camera Raw plug-in is installed correctly is to make sure it appears (only once) in the "About Plug-in" menu (see: Photoshop menu on a Mac or Help menu on a PC). The correct version is displayed when you pick its name and see its about box. If "Camera Raw" is not in this list, you have not installed it correctly.
    Q: Why is the profile listed in the Calibration tab showing a version of Adobe Camera Raw that's older than I am using ?
    A: What you are seeing is normal, and is due to the fact that the built-in profile for your particular camera model hasn't changed between that version of Adobe Camera Raw and the version you're using now. If you see the profile listed as "beta" then your camera has only unofficial support.
    Q: Why is there more than one profile listed in the Calibration tab of Adobe Camera Raw?
    A: The built-in profile for your particular camera model has changed since it was first supported. The profile shown by default identifies the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw in which the profile was updated. Other profiles in the drop-down list identify those included with earlier versions of Adobe Camera Raw, and are available in case you want to maintain compatibility with earlier versions.
    Q: My camera is listed, but Photoshop cannot read its raw files.
    A: Download and install the most recent update to Adobe Camera Raw.
    Q: Where can I download the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw?
    A: Adobe Camera Raw for: Macintosh and Windows
    Q: I am trying to replace my existing ACR plug-in with a more recent version, but cannot find ACR in my Photoshop/Plug-in/File Formats folder. Where is it located now?
    A: As explained in the "Readme", which can be found on the ACR download page, the correct location is:
    Photoshop CS2
    Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS2/File Formats/
    Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS2\File Formats\
    Photoshop CS3
    Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS3/File Formats/
    Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS3\File Formats\
    Note that "Common Files" is localized in non-english versions of Windows.
    Q: Why do I only see a small generic icon in Adobe Bridge instead of a thumbnail when I browse the folder containing my RAW files?
    A: Bridge occasionally has difficulty with RAW files, but this is usually because the user has installed ACR into the wrong location or browsed the folder prior to installing the ACR plug-in that provides support for their particular camera model. The fix for this issue is usually to make absolutely sure that ACR is installed correctly, then purge the Bridge cache. If you're in the habit of using the Distributed cache (Bridge 1.x) it would be prudent to manually delete the cache files from the folder containing your RAW files.
    Q: Whenever I open an image in Adobe Camera Raw a small explanation mark within a yellow triangle appears in the upper right hand corner of the image.
    A: This symbol indicates that a high quality preview is being generated by Adobe Camera Raw. It should disappear after a couple of seconds.
    Q: How do I turn off Auto Adjustments in Adobe Camera Raw 3.x?
    A: Open Adobe Camera Raw. On the Mac press Cmd+U or on the PC Ctrl+U. This keystroke combination toggles Auto Adjustments On and Off. Alternatively, disable the Auto Adjustments setting from the fly-out menu adjacent to the Setting drop-down menu. If you want the default to be Off for Auto Adjustments simply choose "Save New Camera Raw Default" from the fly-out menu adjacent to the "Settings" drop-down menu then choose Done.
    Q: What about Adobe Camera Raw 3.7 and newer versions?
    A: Camera Raw 3.7 no longer supports per slider auto adjustments. One Auto control at the top of the panel now sets the Exposure, Shadows, Brightness, and Contrast sliders to their auto values. The Default control at the top of the panel sets these same four sliders to their default values. The keyboard shortcut for the Auto control is CMD/CTRL-U.
    The keyboard shortcut for the Default control is CMD/CTRL-R.
    Double clicking on a slider to set that single slider to its default value.
    Shift double clicking on a slider to set that single slider to its auto value.
    Q: Why do I get the the following message: "Unable to create an .xmp sidecar file. The image settings will instead be stored in the Adobe Camera Raw database."
    A: This message means that Adobe Camera Raw is unable to write to the XMP sidecar file. Either the media is read-only (e.g. a CD), or you don't have write access to the folder containing the image, or the existing XMP sidecar file is locked.
    Q: I cannot see all the tools and buttons of Adobe Camera Raw.
    A: Set your monitor resolution to the minimum required for Photoshop CS and higher, i.e. 1024x768.
    Q: Where can I obtain a listing of Adobe Camera Raw keyboard shortcuts and modifiers?
    A: On the Photoshop online help file.
    Q: When I open my Nikon NEF files, all I see is the simple version of the raw dialog.
    A: You are running Nikon's plug-in, not Adobe's. Delete from Photoshop's plug-in folder and all subfolders all copies of the "Nikon NEF plugin". Nikon automatically installs this plug-in in up to two places inside Photoshop's plug-in folder, and both must be deleted. Otherwise it overrides the Adobe plug-in. An alternative to the deletion is adding ~ in front of the Nikon plug-ins names.
    Q: I installed the update. I can now open my raw files, but I still cannot see thumbnails in the file browser.
    A: Purge the file browser cache for the problem folder. Tools > Cache > Purge cache for this folder.
    Q: Is it better to resize my images in Camera Raw, or in Photoshop?
    A: The resampling code is fairly similar to (but not exactly the same as) the "Bicubic Sharper" resampling in Photoshop CS and CS2. It does not make very much difference which stage you do the resampling in. The exception is non-square pixel cameras (Nikon D1x and Fuji S2 Pro), for which it is best to upsample one size step in Camera Raw if you need a larger image.
    Q: What are raw images, and how do they differ from JPEG ones?
    A: Read this whitepaper (1MB PDF) written by Bruce Fraser for a concise answer.

    You can check compatibility yourself:
    1.  Go to this page to see the different releases:  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/311515?tstart=0
    2.  Navigate into the download link for the appropriate version of Camera Raw.
    3.  Follow the link to the ReadMe (e.g., http://www.adobe.com/special/photoshop/camera_raw/Camera_Raw_4.6_ReadMe.pdf).
    4.  Look to see whether your camera is supported.
    5.  If your camera is NOT supported, you can use the free Adobe DNG converter to create .dng files that your Camera Raw will be able to open.
    Photoshop CS6 is anticipated to be out in a few months, and Camera Raw is supposed to have a whole new approach, so a lot of us are excited about anticipating that.

  • HT6114 mac os 10.9.2 update conflict with adobe camera raw ?

    All of a sudden Adobe camera raw won't convert either raw Canon or Leica files.  Keep getting the error code to re-install CS6, but that does not solve it.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5955
    Look for the update name and Google the update name together with support.apple.com/DL to get the one referring to your camera, and make sure the system requirements list 10.9 or later.   If they only say 10.6.8 or earlier, they will not necessarily work, since Apple got rid of Rosetta.
    If you are stuck on 10.6.8 or earlier based RAW, it may pay to do one of the following:
    1. Install Parallels with 10.6.8 Server. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6841
    2. Install Windows with the supported RAW using a virtualization software. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2741
    3. Install your prior operating system onto a USB Flash drive, and boot off that.  Given 10.9's security issues prior to 10.9.2,
    and your Mac's minimum operating system was 10.8.2, you may need to contact Apple Support to get the Mac App Store give you your system specific 10.8.2 download, so you can apply 10.8.5 combo and its security update if it was working on your Mac with 10.8:
    10.8.5 combo
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1737- security update for 10.8.5.
    4. Switch to a compatible camera with 10.9 or later.
    Updating to 10.9, you should be prepared for the following:

  • Why external editor Cs5 doesn't open in Adobe Camera Raw window?

    I am workning in Apertute 3 and I want to edit some photos in Photoshop Cs5. I am working with RAW files, but when I want to open the file in external editor, it doesn't open in Adobe Camera Raw so I am loosing the Adobe Camera Raw adjustment abilities. Is there perhaps a way how to set up Aperture to comunicate with Photoshop Cs5 so it opens photos in Camera Raw window? I think in previous version of Aperture this was possible. Thanks.

    Editing in the external editor (from within aperture) is only possible for Versions, not for masters, afaik. Since it would be pointless to export a Version again in some raw format, Aperture offers high quality lossless formats to export versions - tiff and Photoshop psd.
    If you want to do the raw processing externally, you will have to edit the master image file:
    export the master, or reveal a managed master and copy it to Photoshop, then reimport it.
    To edit the master in Photoshop and to reimport it, you could use an automator service: I put a sample workflow and some instructions on how to use and modify it on this page: feel free to modify it according to your needs.

    With that version of Photoshop, the most recent version of Camera Raw you can use is 6.7. If updating your Photoshop or subscribing to the creative cloud is not an option then you could use the free DNG converter provided by Adobe. The latest version of the DNG converter is 8.7.1. I am not familiar with Mac operating systems, so I'm not certain if your OS is compatible with the latest version. You can download it and try.

  • Adobe Camera Raw window-Only full screen?

    I use Elements 7.0.  In an attempt to improve my photography, I’ve been concentrating on getting as close to a proper exposure in camera using zone system etc.  To further get close to the appropriate exposure after the shot is taken, I’ve begun to shoot in raw.  I’ve bought a couple of books, videos etc. and I’m getting the basics down fairly well.
    I have one basic question.  I’ve searched help both in Elements and within this forum and I can’t find anything that addresses my question.
    When I select a nef image (Nikon D90) in the Organizer and go to “Edit” and then “Full Edit”, the Adobe Camera Raw box opens up in full screen with the selected image displayed.  No part of the desktop is displayed, including the taskbar.
    Is there a way to open up ACR that is not full screen?  I’m so new that I still need to refer to help to figure out what certain sliders do.  I have a 25.5 diagonal monitor, so I have the screen real estate to have a fairly large ACR window while at the same time displaying a help screen.
    Thank you for your input.

    Not sure if this will help, but on my ACR to the right of the Preview checkbox there is a window-double-arrow symbol that toggles full-screen mode in ACR so even if ACR started up in full-screen you could unmaximize it and then resize it somewhat smaller.  I don't know how to start it up non-maximized in the scenario you describe because I don't use that scenario and my ACR starts up in whatever mode I last closed it, full-screen or not.

  • Adobe camera raw window won't resize and can't reach buttons

    When I open an image from bridge into adobe camera raw 6.1 (Photoshop CS5) on my laptop, the camera raw window fills all of the screen (top to bottom) and the buttons at the bottom of the window are below the task bar. Thus I can't open the image in photoshop except by hitting the enter key. I can't reach the open, etc buttons. The window won't resize and there are no icon/buttons in the right upper corner to go to/from full screen. When I hit the icon in the top right hand menu bar in ACR (to go to full screen size) the window then fills the whole width of the screen in addition to the height, but no matter what I do I can't get the height of the window to shrink, so that I can access the icons at the bottom of the screen. What am I missing? Thanks

    Don't worry about turning aero off just yet.
    There are two key first questions:
    What is your screen resolution (width in pixels x height in pixels)?  Right-click on desktop, choose Screen Resolution.
    What setting have you chosen for the display size (Smaller, Medium, Larger) in the Display dialog?  Right-click on desktop, choose Personalize, then Display.

  • Adobe Camera RAW 6.7 Windows 7 Crashing etc...

    Good Afternoon,
    We are using Adobe Camera RAW 6.7 on Windows 7 32bit devices. We have had reports that it seems to be unstable and crashes or that they loose the view window and have to restart it to get it back.
    There also seems to be no way of viewing RAW files prior to opening them in the RAW plugin, making the process a bit hit and miss.  They should be able to open the files containing the RAW files, in the Bridge and preview before editing them in Photoshop. A temporary but not really usable workarround is that they open them through Photoshop, which gives you a postage stamp size preview, which is not really very usefull.
    Has anyone come accross this before in this version of RAW and discovered a fix for it?
    Any advice is much appreciated.
    Regards
    Jo

    Hi Eric,
    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, the two camera types are:
    Cannon PowerShot G1X
    Cannon 5D Mark 3
    The user has advised this version of Camera Raw and the same camera models were used on XP it is just since the upgrade to Win 7 - is there any known compatibility issues with this version of RAW with Win7?
    Thanks

  • Can not find folder to load camera raw presets on MAC.  I have searched and says to drop in the library/application support/adobe/camera raw/settings folder but I do not have this folder or can no locate it. I get as far as lib/appsupoort/adobe/camera raw

    I just made the switch to mac. I am have installed all the new PS6 CC and bridge and I am not trying to add some presets to my  ACR but when I search for the folder to place them it is not there.  From what I researched it says it should be under camera library/application support/adobe/camera raw/settings but I can only get to library/application support/adobe/ and then there are two different camera raw options I have checked both and there are not settings folder. If anyone can help me please thanks

    You want your user library

  • Can not access Adobe camera raw in PS CS5. Have a mac OS 10.9

    How do i access adobe camera raw for images fro Nikon D 7100.

    Since photoshop cs5 can only use up to camera raw 6.7 and the Nikon D7100 requires at least camera raw 7.4, photoshop cs5 won't open those files directly.

    You can though, use the 8.6 DNG Converter to convert the D7100 nefs to dng copies, which then photoshop cs5 should open.

  • Why can't I send older RAW files from iPhoto to Adobe Camera RAW?

    I have a 20" Intel iMac (OS  X 10.5.8) and use iPhoto '09 (Version 8.1.2) for storing and organizing the digital images produced by my Nikon D200 and D700 cameras. When I wish to edit a photo I right click on the image and select Edit in External Editor. The external editor is Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac.
    In iPhoto/Preferences/Advanced for RAW Photos I have checked "Use RAW when using external editor." Recently I successfully sent new D200 and D700 RAW images from iPhoto to PSE 6 for conversion by Adobe Camera RAW (Version 5.4.0.57). However, I was not successful in attempting to do the same thing with older D200 RAW images taken more than three years ago. In all cases what showed up in ACR were JPEGs rather than the RAW images. I don't understand why this is happening. What is needed to resolve this issue? Any remedial information will be appreciated.
    Bob

    Well all of that tells us that the Library is sound and not corrupt - which is good news.
    Now the question would seem to be 'Why isn't iPhoto respecting the settings you've chosen in the Preferences?"
    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Aperture vs Adobe Camera Raw

    Hey,
    So, lately I've been shooting in RAW and have finally found some time to process some of the images. I am a Mac user, so I have the option of using either Aperture, or Adobe Camera Raw (Lightroom). Can someone please explain to me the main difference between the two programs, in terms of their ability to retouch/edit RAW images. I've had experience with Adobe Camera Raw (through photoshop cs6) and believe it is an excellent piece of software, does Aperture provide the same kind and quality of tools. The reason I am asking is because while I need a program to help process the RAW files, I also want to organize them in a library where I can see my edits. I am currently using iPhoto and I like the way it works.
    So to summarize the question, is aperture as good at processing/editing RAW images as Adobe Camera Raw? If not, why, what are the differences?
    Thanks!

    So to summarize the question, is aperture as good at processing/editing RAW images as Adobe Camera Raw? If not, why, what are the differences?
    Much of the difference between the two has to do with the way brushes work (for local adjustments) and some features.
    Brushes:
    In ACR, the adjustment brush works as a multi-parameter brush where you brush in strokes and can adjust quite a few parameters after adding the brush stroke (e.g., exposure, highlights, shadows, sharpening, noise reduction, clarity, saturation, etc.). ACR adds a 'pin' for each new adjustment which can then be selected to change the parameters of that adjustment.
    In Aperture, you use what is called a 'brick' which is a panel dedicated to the type of adjustment (e.g., enhance, highlights & shadows, edge sharpen, noise reduction, etc.). In this case, you use each 'brick' (or panel) to change the brushed in parameters for that specific type of adjustment.
    In summary; you can add or change more parameters in ACR with one brushed adjustment than you can in Aperture, but both can add or change the same parameters (with the exception of exposure, which Aperture doesn't currently do as a local brushable adjustment).
    ACR has arguably better sharpening and noise reduction control. ACR also has a gradient tool and lens distortion correction which Aperture currently lacks.
    I do find that brush speed is about the same with a lot of adjustments added, with Aperture getting better marks overall.
    All that said, I would be surprised if Aperture didn't receive some of the tools it currently lacks in the future.
    As far as RAW decoding goes, Aperture relies on the OS X camera RAW compatibility feature to render RAW files, so you will already have a sense of what that default render is like with iPhoto and Preview. Aperture can alter those parameters either as a RAW fine tuning preset that you create or with the adjustment bricks.
    FWIW, I have been using Adobe ACR at work (on Windows) since it's inception; and while I like the results with some images with regards to highlights, shadows, sharpening and noise, I can get there faster with Aperture. I also don't agree with Adobe's new rental policy for the CC line, so won't be investing in their products anymore. I quite like the 'App Store' paradigm.
    Hope that helps.

  • Photoshop tif won't open in Photoshop; launches Camera Raw plugin window

    We recently upgraded from Creative Suite 1 to Creative Suite 3 (with Mac OS 10.5.4). I am trying to open a tif file that was saved out of Photoshop CS1, and it keeps launching the Camera Raw plugin window instead. I've tried saving as an EPS, then opening the EPS and re-saving as a tif. Doesn't help. I don't want to process this tif through Camera Raw each time it's opened!
    Other images from the same photoshoot and saved in the same manner are fine (the tifs open in Photoshop as they should).
    Is this a feature or a bug?
    Thank you

    So why is it happening with only 1 out of 8 tifs from a single campaign that were all treated in the same manner (digital shots that were opened through Camera Raw plugin, manipulated in Photoshop and a layered PSD file saved, then flattened tif files generated)? The other 7 flattened tifs open directly into Photoshop without launching Camera Raw plugin.
    And I can't find a preference that affects it. If it is "Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for supported raw files", I have it unchecked.
    Any other suggestions?

  • Adobe Camera Raw ACR crashes instantly when hitting accent key

    I just lost several hours of work because ACR 8 with PS CC2014 crashes every time you hit the accent key ´ which is under to the Volume up and down keys on a German keyboard.
    An error message says: "The command could not be completed because of a program error." See screenshot.
    Is that a known bug?
    Thank you
    Marco
    BTW: The ACR interface looks like it's from the nineties. How long will Adobe drag this through upgrades?

    MPPhoto wrote:
    …I am not talking about any dialog boxes here…
    …<sigh !>…
    Yes you are, Marco.
    The Adobe Camera RAW window is a modal dialog box.  All its tabs are modal dialog boxes.
    All dialog  boxes MUST close when the Escape key is pressed, or a key that somehow acts somewhat like the Escape key is pressed.
    You cannot get around that, Marco.  Sorry if that irritates you, but that is reality.
    All we do here is try to help people and offer workarounds.
    If you're prone to hitting that key too often accidentally, perhaps the workaround would be for you to disable it, either by re-mapping the offending software keyboard layout, or by physically removing or otherwise disabling it in your hardware keyboard.
    If the Adobe Camera Raw Team determines it is an Apple OS bug in the mapping of that key on a German keyboard, I can guarantee you that it will be quite a while before Apple fixes that.
    I am now assuming you're on a Mac because of the interface shown in your screen shot.
    I understand you are frustrated, and I feel for you for having lost many hours of work for a momentary gesture of inattention, but so far you have not given any details whatsoever about your setup. 
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6" or "CC2014", but something like CS6v.13.0.6, or CC2014 v 15.0.x) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

    Do not be abusive or aggressive in your tone
    An aggressive, demanding, accusatory or abusive sounding post will often evoke an aggressive or abusive and unhelpful reply.
    Remember, you are not addressing Adobe here in the user forums.  You are requesting help from volunteers users just like you who give their time free of charge. No one has any obligation to answer your questions.
