Can negative B&W image be converted to positive, done this on elements previously by inverting but doesn't seem to work same way in lightroom ?
You should be able to invert in Lightroom. But choose the point curve rather than the region curve. If the negative is film you might get better results from scanning.

I recently purchased a Canon 7D. I own Adobe Photoshop/Bridge CS5. I cannot open my raw images in Bridge. I have tried to download the plug in but does not seem to work. Please Help, I need to be able to open my raw images in Bridge ASAP. I do not want to upgrade to CS6 at this time.

Can a use a partitioned external hard drive to create a disk image? I tried, doesn't seem to work using disk manager.
OK, it's very bad computing to use a backup disk for anything but a backup. The reason being is if/when the HD crashes you will have lost not only all your backup but the data files. While I commend you for wanting redundant backup, you really need separate EHDs for doing so. Format each EHD using Disk Utility to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) using the GUID parttition. When you connect, OS X will ask if you want to use that drive as a Time Machine backup drive, select yes and then let it backup. On the second EHD format the same way however do not use TM as a backup, this time I'd suggest an app such as SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to make a clone of the internal HD. Leave both EHDs connected and TM will backup new or changed files automatically on a hourly basis. The clone you will need to set to backup on the schedule you want. For example I have my SuperDuper EHD set to backup only changed or updated files at 2AM every day.
The advantage of a clone is that if the computers internal HD crashes you can boot from a clone and continue working, TM will not do that but it's great for keeping an archive of all files. So if you want a version of a file from many months ago, TM will help you locate and restore it. -
I downloaded the free trial of Lightroom 5 and love it but I can't export the images to a folder. Is this because it is a free trial?
Yes, but I don't know enough about iPhoto to understand the consequences of "imported them into iPhoto first". In any event, I do understand the needs of Lightroom, and if the photos have been moved or renamed or deleted (or if the folders that contain them have been moved or renamed or deleted) outside of Lightroom, then this will cause the Lightroom symptoms you describe. You need to reconnect the photos in Lightroom using the instructions I linked to. Either that or move the photos and folders back to where they used to be after you imported them into Lightroom. Nothing else will work.
In the future, please understand that your photos are never stored in Lightroom; they are stored on your hard disk somewhere and the very simple principle that you need to follow is that Lightroom needs to be informed of where the photos are at all times, using the methods in that link; or better yet by never moving or renaming or deleting the photos (and the folders that contain them) outside of Lightroom.
As an additional recommendation, the idea of using both iPhoto and Lightroom on the same photos is one that could cause problems, especially for beginners. If you are going to use one of these software, then don't use the other one. -
My mac is becoming too slow. It takes long to open word documents, pdf files or excel documents or even safari. Can anybody suggest something? I have tried to reduce the number of open applications, but does not seem to work.
Hi ...
Checked to see how much free space there is on the startup disk lately?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
If disk space is not the issue, booting in Safe Mode deletes system caches that may help.
A Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient.
Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left corner of the screen.
From the drop down menu click Restart.
See if that makes a difference ... -
I'm using iphoto9.1.3 but now it doesn't seem to work, whenever I try to open it, it just shows loading, but never loads. Can anybody help me with this ?
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work at all. I'm currently in India. Could that be the cause or can anyone suggest any reason why this wouldn't work?
"gets stuck" - are there any error messages?
If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test: Go to...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options. Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup. If that doesn't work, then this post will not help. If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup. If successful, keep repeating these steps. If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail. (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one. -

Hello, I've installed Lion but now it says I can't use the Cloud as I need the Apple ID Password to use Back to My Mac. I've obtained several new Apple ID passwords which work ok on my phone but doesn't seem to be the password it's looking for.Does anyone know what's needed please ??
It's probably looking for the Apple ID & Password you used to purchase Lion, or ML as the case may be.

I just bought an ipad mini with retina display. On my settings page it shows an update occurring for ios.7.0.4 with the message "Estimating time remaining..."
This update and message appeared last evening but doesn't seem to complete. It also says "downloading", but nothing is happening.
How can I complete the download or eliminate it?If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up.
You should have a look in:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/Extensions
You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple. -
Once I backup my iPhone, where can I find the SMS data on my mac?
The link Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ doesn't seem to exist on my computer.
My mac has OS X, version 10.6.8.
Thanks.Here, let me explain the way you use the word "crap" in a sentence like this, especially when I'm asking for help from a total stranger such as yourself. It's rude, obviously I know now not to do something like download something like that to my computer. It's not the difficult to figure out, and obviously I'm suffering the consequences for it now. So are you planning on helping me? Or should I not reply to your next reply if it has the word "crap" in it? I'm sure this whole discussion board was created to be used in a professional way, which is how I would like to keep my responses.

I can't access most internet pages because I don't have adobe flash player for my powerbook and the download doesn't seem to work?
The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to FP requireing an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I fould a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Hi, I would appreciate if someone could assist with the following. On the Numbers application on my Ipad, the 'VALUE' function doesn't seem to work correctly on the string/text which I want to convert to a value. It gives me an error (in my example: 'VALUE requires a string specifying a number, but found "-14308.65" instead.'
The exact same document (if converted from Numbers to excel), displays the converted string/text correctly in MS Excel as a value though.click on the cell then in the formula bar and use the arrow keys to move the cursor to see if there are any other characters in the cell that could confuse the function. Also make sure the localization for your country is correct in System Prefs.
Maybe copy the EXACT contents of the cell and post here.
