Can Lightroom invoke the same Photoshop functions as Bridge can?

Bridge has a tools menu with a Photoshop item sub-menu. It can invoke a number of Photoshop functions such as "Image Processor" and Auto "batch" functions on a selection of images from within Bridge. Does Lightroom also have this capability?

Lightroom replaces the functions of many Photoshop batch capabilities, with its own Export and Publish and Print to JPG features. The usual expectation for a LR user, would be, that Lightroom carries out the creation of different sized JPG versions etc. It is in some ways more efficient and economical at this than Photioshop is.
The specific batch tools you mention, are in effect scripted extensions of PS which I don't believe LR can access. In any case, the images that LR itself manipulates may include entities that Photoshop tools could never access, for example Virtual Copies.
That said, it is possible to reference a Photoshop Action in a "droplet" file, add this droplet to a list where Lightroom can see it, and then invoke this as a postprocessing step as part of a batch Export initiated by Lightroom. So, if you are creating a set of JPG (TIFF, whatever) images which need standard treatment as far as resizing, colourspace etc but also that need some kind of a standardised Photoshop operation to happen, this is a way to do it.
The PS postprocessing in this scheme, happens only to a brand-new, separate, exported file. If you want PS to modify the master image as viewed in LR, then you are getting more into LR's standard external editing function instead - which is done image by image (and which similarly spins off a new image version and new file saved on disk). Any file-changing editing of the type that Photoshop does, it completely at odds with the nondestructive approach of Lightroom - like chalk and cheese, and this is reflected in the quite compartmented workflow under which these happen.

Added Noiseware plug-in to Photoshop - Can Lightroom do the same?

I just bought a new Canon 7D camera which gives the option for high ISO up to 64000. Even at 800 ISO, this camera seems to be giving me plenty of visible noise as I zoom in to the image in Lightroom. I've purchased the plug-in for Photoshop called Noiseware Pro which seems to really do the trick, smoothing out noise and maintaining detail.
The question I have is: Noiseware has controls for luminescence and others that look like the same controls that are available in Lightroom. Noiseware seems to give the right setting automatically based on the image, at least gives a good starting point, but my question: is is possible to achieve the same results in Lightroom? I'm thinking it is, but it also seems to require more fiddling than I can muster where Noiseware simply hits the mark and I'm good to go.

I'm the senior product consultant and testing engineer for Imagenomic, the creators of Noiseware and after reading your post, I thought I would interject a few tidbits of wisdom for you.
Although Noiseware has sliders named similar to Lightroom, the actual usage varies on image content. Each image has its own unique noise signature and so in essence, Noiseware's slider implementation takes this into effect.
As to achieving the same results in Lightroom, most any of the noise reduction programs, especially the top commercial ones, will allow a much more dynamic range of control and hence better results. Even out of the box default controls will usually whip LR with major tweaking. So far the LR3 beta hasn't impressed me any on its color reduction (though it does differ from V2) and the odd exclusion of luma control is a flag to me as the intermixing of the two values, luma and chroma, is where the issues arise within the noise reduction world. The jury is still out on the end results at the final release though.
Adobe has decided not to give plugin developers a true path into the 'non-destructive editing' that is one of Lightroom's major marketing hypes so we're all stuck with outputting to a separate file first which adds another image and step to the workflow process. Ideally, plugins would fit into the develop module tabs and allow realtime preview of the results. As it is now, we must use a totally standalone executable (PC) or app (Mac) to achieve functionality which defeats the 'non-destructive editing' workflow.
Also, as a last note, you can run the Noiseware plugin through Photoshop from within Lightroom using droplets. The droplets are available here as well as a video tutorial showing how to implement them:

Slow, slow running Photoshop & Lightroom at the same time.

Would like to keep my best pals Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3 open at the same time. Having worked on a few images in LR3 and then in Photoshop, they both run progressively slower.
Photoshop Memory Usage set to 70%. No other programs except Mail are open.
Would love alternative to present solution which is to alternate between terminating the presently not used program, but this is awfully tedious.

I'll second that!
I'm running LR3 & CS5 on one of the latest model Intel Mac'Pro' 'workstations' (or so god-Steve likes to refer to his 'insanely kewl' 'top-o-the-line' computing products). And running these two apps (along w/iToons, Ffox, TextEdit and a few other minimally processor-hungry apps in the background) I find myself constantly waiting for them to do something – anything!
My installs were each done correctly. I have 6 gigs of memory (1066MHz sticks!), a 'quad core' processor as conductor on this thing and then apps that have been optimized to run on this (64-bit) architecture run so pokey I feel like I'm working on an old G4?! (I'm not talking 'pinwheels' here folks, I'm watching Adobe's 'new' 'progress'-graphic spinning as PS is 'working'.)
I know what the response would be if I'd call crApple'Care': "Oh, it's your Third Party applications. It can't be Snow Kitty! Archive and Re-Install." (Problem solved; next customer please...)
But at the same time, if one were to call Adobe and be lucky enough to speak to someone who isn't answering from a hot, humid phone-farm in east India, instead (perhaps) get some mellow fellow up in northern California, we'd likely get the reverse: "Sorry Meester Mike. I'm not familiar with Mac computers. Perhaps you could call Apple and explain the problem to them? Adobe products are really quite stable and sophisticated and..."
Sheesh!

Can iPhoto and Lightroom share the same master file?

I have loaded all my images into iPhoto. Lightroom cannot see the files until I made alias folders and placed them in Pictures. Now lightroom can see them. Lightroom is non destructive and should not damage the masters. Is that the same for iPhoto? Any problems in sharing the same master file?

I have 20k images that take up 100G. Eighty percent are JPEG and have already been edited. iPhoto seems ideal for this group. Kids and grandkids like to go down memory lane and this seems to be easy to navigate. The remaining 20% are mostly raw files and need editing. I already have Lightroom and had been using it in my old PC. I am new to modern Mac’s having changed over to PC from Mac 10 years ago. I loaded all my photo files to iPhoto not knowing that the master file was hidden.
Lightroom is a great editor. Almost all the advanced photographers in our club use Lightroom for 90% of their images. Ten % require layer capability so they use Photoshop CS5 or Elements. By the way there is now a layer plug in for Lightroom that works pretty well.
The work flow I envision, if possible, would be to enter new raw images into Lightroom and edit. The master raw images could go anywhere. Could they reside in the iPhoto master file? The export would be jpeg to iPhoto. For existing images I would use the iPhoto master list to import the 20% group to Lightroom. You don’t really import the images but borrow the image. The masters are never altered. When you export an edited jpeg, the master stays unaltered in it’s original file. Does iPhoto operate the same way.
I read where Lightroom jpeg images cause a problem for iPhoto. Still a problem?

Can the same partner function be entered in the sales order more than once.

Hi
I know that as per standard same partner function cannot be entered more than once in Sales order.
If somebody has tried ways to do this please share.
THanks
Alags

Yes. You can have multiple Ship to Party, Bill to Parrty & Payer in Sales Order. But Sold to Party will have to Unique & single.
This functionality of having multilpe Partners is widely used & just follow as Deepak suggested above & you too can have multiple Partners of same type in single Sales Order.
But there has to be a strong Business case in doing so... say different Ship tp Party for different line items in Sales Order or different BIll to Party for some line Items in Sales Order.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

Is Lightroom Desktop the same as Lightroom 5?

Can anyone help, I am looking at the subscriptions for Photoshop and Lightroom but want Lightroom 5 - please can anyone confirm that the desktop version is the same?

Lightroom 5 is sold as a perpetual license and also by subscription through the creative cloud. Both are the same software just the licensing procedure is a little different, the perpetual license is manually inserting the 24 numeric number and the CC version will get automatically input when it is downloaded through the Adobe Application Manager.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see the Perpetual License version. (see the screen capture.

The Same Excel Functions Not Giving the Same Result in Numbers

I'm been using Excel for years and now that I've made the switch to Mac, I thought I should probably utilise the iWork suite of software and get rid of Microsoft once and for all.
Whilst I love the user-friendliness, there are so many small things that Apple to appear to have overlooked which keeps me hanging on to Microsoft Office just a little, but I digress.
OK, So I have one sheet in Numbers with the following data.
I am trying I need to search Column A for the TLDs in Column C, if they exist output the correct renewal price from Column D in Column B
e.g. A2 contains .net so B2 should have 12.50 in it.

So... can someone please explain to me why the same functions which exist in Numbers and Excel (VLOOKUP / LOOKUP / SEARCH) do not work in Numbers as they do in Excel? If there is a valid reason, fine, I'll accept that, but how do I acheive the above?
The formula which WORKS in B2 in Excel but NOT in Numbers is:
=VLOOKUP(LOOKUP(32768,SEARCH(C$2:C$4,A2),C$2:C$4),$C$2:$E$4,2,FALSE)
Thanks in advance.

That's a form of "array function" (searching a "table array"). Numbers can't do array functions the way Excel can.
Here's one way to achieve the same goal in Numbers:
The formula in B2, copied down:
=VLOOKUP(RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)−SEARCH(".",A2)+1),Prices::$A:$B,2,FALSE)

How do i move photos and catalog to a new drive and have lightroom make the same move

I am trying to move all my photos to a new drive with different drive letter. I know I can do a backup and restore inside PSE13 to perform that. However, I also have Lightroom 5 on the current setup. How would I now use the new location for the photos in lightroom if they are already moved by PSE?
Hope this makes sense!

I don't recommend the Time Machine or Migation Assistent approach. The first tneds to be very slow and the second often carries baggage that is probably best not transferred to a new computer.
Lightroom doesn't use activation, therefore, can be installed on your new Mac without having first removed it fom the old. Your images and catalogs can be copied across to the new Mac using an a portable disk drive as the transfer medium. Typically, on Mac computers, the catalog and image files are stored in the Pictures folder. If this is where you have them then then copy them to the same location on the new Mac. Once copied you can open the catalog folder then double click on the .lrcat file to launch Lightroom.

FlowN invoking the same output vairable

Hi there,
This is a little difficult to explain.
I have a process that takes in document information including multiple reviewers for the douments.
At one point in the process i need to set up multiple threads against the number of reviewers in the document information (It is a variable number of reviewers).
This was my plan:
Set up a FlowN that counts the number of reviewer nodes. Then inovoke a askReviewer Web service and wait for their reply asynchronously.
It's working! I'm using a bit of Java Exec to receive the flowN varialbe, from there find the reviewer name then send over the document info with the reviewer name.
BUT:
The reviewer name doesn't change on the output of the invoke. I am debugging the Java and it is susccessfully picking up the correct reviewers. But basically the same XML is being sent to the webservice.
I have a couple of questions, is a FlowN a true thread? Are the variables replicated across each thread, so they are seperate or are they shared?.
There is no doubt that a pick would be the best option for this design, but i can't allocate this dynamically (variable amount of reviewers.)
I hope this explained well!
It'll be great to hear of anybody who has tried the same thing.

embarrasing stuff, i'm replying to my own thread an hour later.
I fixed it and it was pretty obvious.
The key is that the webservice i call uses input and output variables which are global to the process. Therefore although the flow is threaded the global variables are not.
so it's just a case of creating a scope inside your flow process, then assigning the invoke web service variables as local scope variables. therefore on each thread a new variable is created!
Superb.

If i download photoshop onto my Mac computer now will i at a later date be able to download the same photoshop program onto my mac laptop? Or is it one program to one computer?

I want to download photoshop i have a lot of work i need doing but i only have this computer for a few more weeks before i get my new laptop. I will still need to use photoshop, will i be able to download photoshop again and use the same serial number i paid for or is the product only useable on one computer, meaning i will have to buy it again? I don't want to waste money.
Thanks

You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines. Additionally, you can always deactivate an installation and reapply the activation to the same or a different machine. You should never have to purchase the software again as long as you only need to have it working on two machines.

Java Core Program :: Dynamic Object Creation for Classe & Invoking the same

Hi,
I need to create a dynamic object for a class & invoke it.
For eg: I have a table in my DB where all the names of my java classes are stored. I need to call name from the table of the DB and call that class dynamically in my java program.
ResultSet_01 = executeQuery("select classname from class_table where class_descrip = 'Sales Invoice' ");
               while(ResultSet_01.next())
                    String class_name = ResultSet_01.getDouble("classname");
               }Now using the string in class_name that is fetched from ResultSet_01, I need to create an object for the class_name & invoke the class that is been created with the same name.
Thank in advance.
Regards,
Haider Imani

Well for a start since a class name is a String, not a number you'd better start by getting the name with getString() not getDouble().
You need to work with fully qualified names, (FQNs) like "com.acme.myproject.MyDynamicClass", not just the bare MyDynamicClass.
The next question is where the .class files for the dynamically loaded classes are stored. If they are part of your normal program code, on the class path, then you can use Class.forName to load the class and return a Class object. If they are in some special place you'll need to create a URLClassLoader and get the Class from that.
Generally, when you load a class this way, it should implement some known interface, or extend some know abstract class. By placing objects of the dynamic class in a reference to that interface you can use the methods defined in the interface.
The usual way of getting an instance of a dynamic class is to call newInstance() on the Class object.

Is it possible to tether/capture two cameras in to Lightroom during the same session?

I would like to tether two cameras into one system using lightroom. Will Lightroom support two cameras at the same time?

Not sure whether simultaneous capture would be necessary but here's a suggestion - which could meet your requirements - as opposed to a tested possibility. I've not tried this and have no knowledge of Mac environments! If you can run LR and another programme (e.g. EOS Utility) simultaneously or connect the second camera directly the files from the second could be imported via the watched folder in LR. I would expect the 'outside LR' files to be imported when tethering has ceased. (Using two screens one for each capture would help.) If this is worth a try let us know how you get on.
