Anyone Have both Lightroom 4 and Ps CS6 beta?

Specifically, a friend of mine is reporting relatively sluggish performance with Lightroom 4 and I am seeing light, fast performance with Photoshop CS6's Camera Raw 7... Maybe it's not butter smooth, but my preview display in Camera Raw definitely keeps up in near real-time with slider movements. Our computers, per their Windows WEI scores, aren't too different in performance.
Apparently LR4 is MUCH slower for him than the prior version.
Should Lightroom be expected to be much slower than its predecessor version and Camera Raw 7? Or is there a bug being worked on?
I've stopped short of running the Lightroom evaluation version as I am happy with what I have.
Thanks for any insights you can share.

Most likely the reason for the color difference has to do with your working color space. Lightroom doesn't allow you to chose your working colorspace (whereas camera raw borrows from bridge and photoshop). In lightroom use the "softproof" and chose your output colorspace to see what your images will look like. It could also be that your images coming out of lightroom are being output with a different color profile from what photoshop is saving your images as : adobe rbg VS srgb. In my tests my images from photoshop and lightroom looked the same as long as they were both saved to the same colorspace ( I use srgb)
Noel - sorry for the vague question. I know that some people use lightroom vs ACR for its price. Some use it for it photo managing aspects compared to bridge. I was wondering if in any of your use or anything that you had seen posted if you had seen people choosing lightroom for performance related reasons. (import of raw images - editing - exporting)

I am also using both CS5 and LR4. For some unknown reason, CS5 Camera Raw appears to do a better job than LR4. Perhaps it is the darker interface that make the photo look ok in LR4. When the same photos are compared against Camera Raw later, the LR4 all have this slight warm colour hue. I also find the steps required to open a file from Camera Raw to CS5 much easier than from LR4

I am trying to export a video from Premiere Pro. I have both audio and video checked and the sequence is active but only the audio exports. There is no video at all. Can anyone tell me how to get the video to export. It was working fine until today.

Premiere Pro CC has been working fine until today. I have completed my sequence and it is active. I have both audio and video checked when I am exporting using H.264 with Match Source Hi bitrate. I am choosing entire sequence. The audio exports but the video and title does not. Can anyone tell me how to troubleshoot this so I can complete this project? Please!

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,

Can I have both Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 5 both installed on the same computer?

Can I have both Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 5 both installed on the same computer? I like the "fill light" feature in 3 and use it a lot. I would have not gotten 5 except that the images from my new Canon 5D Mk III are not re4cognized on 3. I have 5 on a laptop and 3 on my desktop but would like to have both on my desktop .

Yes you can do this, but you can also get rid of Lightroom 3 and use the "Fill Light" command in Lightroom 5. You need to set the Process Version to 2010 (default is 2012 in Lightroom 5). Use the menu command Settings > Process > 2010
But honestly, you would be wise to stop using "Fill Light", as the new sliders in Lightroom 5 produce superior image quality than anything you can come up with using "Fill Light". Yes, the new sliders take a little time to get used to, but your patience and effort learning the new sliders will be rewarded. You can find some tutorials and videos on using Process Version 2012 on that Internet thing.

What is the best way to sharpen using both Lightroom_4 and Photoshop CS6?

I want to learn the best way to sharpen various subjects. I have Martin Evening's latest Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS6 books, but no mention of which methods are better, or better for which subjects/conditions. It seems that Camera Raw and Lightroom are the same, so I'm tempted to just do it all in Lightroom with the Develop module Detail panel, and the adjustment brush for local sharpening. But can I be doing more with Photoshop CS6, or Lightroom and Photoshop together?

Lightroom and Photoshop have different capabilities. Photoshop power lies in layers so sharpening in Photoshop is best done using a sharpening layer which can be blended and masked into layers below. Lightroom is more a image developer then and editor and does not have layer support. Both Lightroom and Photoshop use Adobe RAW conversion engine to develop images. Adobe RAW Conversion Engine has very good sharpening and noise reduction capabilities. Sharpening and Noise reduction is more or less a balancing act to much sharpening enhances noise to much noise reducing loose details and add softness. Though both Photoshop and Lightroom use the same Adobe RAW conversion engine they use different user interfaces when they use Adobe RAW conversion engine. Lightroom also lacks Layer support.

I need to change the storage hard drive for both lightroom and Photoshop from my C drive to F drive

How do I change my storage drive from C to F in both lightroom and photoshop as I am running out of space on my C drive?

Storage Drive ?? Photoshop. What Platform and OS are you running.
I use PC therefore Windows. When I thing about Application like Photoshop I know the are going to be files all over the place. Windows like everything installed on the Boot disk. I gave up the fight many years ago and let windows have it way when application are installed using an installer. However besides the application files you have user files and I break user files down into to categories. Windows User files like applications settings, preferences, cashes, etc and user Data Files, Images, text documents, PDF. Applications like Photoshop also have add-ons an need swap space as well. While all Windows default library reside on the C: drive you can add additional storage to you document, music, picture and video libraries the are not on the c: Most of my user data file are actually on external ESATA drives or USB3 drives. System files, Application Files, Paging, swapping and backup are on internal SSd and Fast Disk drive. Some of the folder that look like they are on C: are actually shortcut links to folders on other drives.

Have BOTH .m4a and .m4p versions of same purchased songs after re-import

Hello,
I recently had to reconstruct my iTunes library (new machine, new installation) and so I did an "Add to Library" of my library folder into an empty iTunes library. After import, I've discovered that for about 215 songs which I've purchased from the iTunes Store, I have both .m4a and .m4p versions of each of these songs. If I view the "Kind" of each song within iTunes, the .m4a shows a "Kind" of "Purchased AAC Audio File", and the .m4p version shows a "Kind" of "Protected AAC Audio File". If I show the Bitrate, each copy of each song is the same, 256 Kbps. If I view each song file in the Finder, the .m4a is about double the size of the .m4p. I have a few questions surrounding this:
1. Why are the sizes of the song files so drastically different?
2. Some time ago I took advantage of that DRM-free promotion, so I am suspecting that this may have had something to do with me having both protected and non-protected copies of these files. However, I am curious why both files now show in my library, whereas before, they did not -- only one copy showed. Does anyone know why both song copies are now showing?
3. Should I keep both of these files?
4. Is there a way to manage these files in iTunes so that only one copy shows? They both show when duplicates are hidden, because they are different, or iTunes doesn't know of the association I suppose. But of course that messes up trying to play an album -- every song plays twice.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Brad

No--nothing gets deleted when you convert. You get two copies of the song in your library. (On Edit: I haven't done this with the latest version of iTunes. I assume nothing gets deleted just like before. To check--maybe you should convert ONE song and see if you get a duplicate in a smaller version, or just a smaller version! I've always gotten duplicates!)
I did leave out a few steps on how I do this--but if you're interested here's how I do it. Make the playlist. Then go to Edit>Select All. Then I go back to the top line: Advanced>Convert Selection to AAC. (To be able to do this you have to have your import option set to AAC 128 kps under the advanced tab in your Preferences settings. After you do the conversion make sure you set this tab back to your preferred lossless import option!)
You will get two copies of the songs in your library. Your original playlist will contain the lossless songs, so you'll have to pull the AAC songs back out into a play list. You can find them easily by sorting your library by "Kind" and then pulling the AAC files into a playlist. You can label this iPhone--or whatever.
After you load the playlist onto your iPhone, uncheck it so the songs are not duplicated in your library. If you ever want to delete them, you have to do this inside your library or the file will remain on your computer. (It does take a while to run the conversion--so I rarely delete things afterwards if I think I'm going to use the file again.)
Post back if you still have other questions.

Thanks Sean,
I've had a look at the TC settings dialog and tried to keep it as simple as possible. I also had a copy of LR 4 on the hard drive so have trashed that also incase of any conflicts. LR seems to be running ok now but as said it's an intermittent problem.
I also have a copy of Capture One on the hard drive so am going to uninstall that also in case it is trying to launch.

Can I have both Lion and Snow Leopard on One Hard Drive?

My problem is I need to run a PowerPC game on Lion which Lion no longer supports. So i thought i could download Snow Leopard back to my Mac and partiition my hard drive in the process as that is the only way i know of to have both Lion and Snow Leopard. I went through the Boot Camp Asistant process and it seems it will only partition Windows 7 to my Mac when i need Snow Leopard. If anyone has any idea how to help me have both Lion and Snow Leopard at the same time on just one hard drive or figure out how to run the PowerPC programs on my Mac (if there is a way around it). The help will be well appreciated!

How To Run Snow Leopard On A New Mac
This does not apply to new Mac Minis or MacBook Airs. When newer models are introduced that also require Lion for hardware support, the techniques described below will no longer work with the possible exception of using Parallels 7.
What has to be done:
Create a new partition on the hard drive.
Get a clone of a 10.6.8 Snow Leopard system. Put the cloned Snow Leopard system onto the new partition.
Step One: Create a new partition on the hard drive
To resize the drive and create a new partition do the following:
1.    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
       After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2.   You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3.    In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4.   Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
Step Two: Obtain a clone of a Snow Leopard system:
You will need access to a Mac already running Snow Leopard. You will need a 16 GB USB flash drive or an external hard drive to which you can clone the Snow Leopard system from the Mac that has Snow Leopard installed. Alternatives are:
Option One:
Install a new Snow Leopard system onto a USB flash drive. Boot the Mac used for installing with the USB flash drive. Update the flash drive system to 10.6.8 using the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard. Verify that you can boot the Mac with the USB flash drive.
Take the USB flash drive to your new Mac and try booting from it. If it works then clone the system from the flash drive to the newly made partition:
          Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
          Destination means the new partition on the internal drive. Source means the USB flash drive.
Option Two:
If you have a large enough external drive you can erase and use, then it would be easier to just clone the entire Snow Leopard system from the source Mac computer to the external drive.
          Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
          Destination means the external drive. Source means the Snow Leopard Mac's internal drive.
After cloning verify that it will boot the source Mac. If so then take the external drive to your new Mac boot with it. If all is well then restore the clone to the new partition on your new Mac:
          Restore the clone using Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
          Destination means the new partition on the internal drive. Source means the external drive.
If the above seems too daunting then you might consider running Snow Leopard inside an emulator such as Parallels 7. You are permitted to install a single copy of Snow Leopard inside a virtual machine. You will need to first purchase a copy of Parallels 7 and install it on your new Mac. Create a new virtual machine configured for Mac OS X. You may then install Snow Leopard in the virtual machine then download Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 and update to 10.6.8. Be sure to include Rosetta in your initial Snow Leopard installation. Rosetta is not installed by default rather it's an optional install.

How does metadata get changed by both Lightroom and another application??

I am frequently getting the message "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application. Should Lightroom import settings from disk or overwrite disk settings with those from the catalog?" on images in my catalog. I use only Lightroom to organize, add keywords, do basic adjustments, etc. On the occasions I am taking an image into Photoshop to do further work, it's exported as a TIFF or PSD and the original stays in the LR catalog untouched by anything else I might do to the image.
I have two choices with this message: Use Lightroom's settings, OR overwrite them from disc. The first few times this scared me, as I had no idea where those changes were coming from and why the disc file had something different than the lightroom catalog. I have all my metadata saved in XMP files. But I took the chance and said overwrite LR settings, and saw nothing change on the sliders or image being displayed. I then tried a few saying 'keep LR settings', and again I saw no visible signs of changes. That leads me to believe that they are NOT changed but LR things they are somehow. But I don't like seeing it, I want it to go away unless there really are changes happening outside of LR (like if I went into Bridge or something...)
Any ideas why this message shows up? I just discovered about 100 images in a collection of images I sent to stock agency three years ago, and haven't done anything with them outside of LR since.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Users have complained for years about spurious metadata-has-changed notifications. If you're confident that you're not editing the file itself outside of LR, then choosing Overwrite Settings will rewrite the metadata in the file with the catalog metadata and (usually) make the spurious notification go away.
Unfortunately, LR doesn't tell you which metadata fields have changed, so users are left flying blind. I believe Rob Cole had a plugin that would tell you metadata differences between the catalog and the disk file, but his Web site has been down for a couple of weeks now.
ManiacJoe: My guess is that Photoshop is updating some EXIF data fields in the raw file, for example the "edited with software" field. Since Lightroom probably has already set that field, it gives you a warning that something changed.
Interesting hypothesis. I just tested that with LR 5.7.1, Photoshop CC 2014, OS X 10.10 and couldn't reproduce the problem. I exported a TIFF from a cataloged raw file into the same folder as the raw, edited the TIFF and changed some of its metadata in Photoshop, and saved it. LR didn't report a metadata-has-changed notification.
In general, I'd be (only moderately) surprised that if you edited x.tif in PS, it would change any metadata in x.cr2 or x.xmp.
