CS5 MPE - any benefit for SD editing?

I do ONLY home video SD editing to create family DVD output... NO hi-def and no h.264 codecs
Since the nVidia 285 card is about $400 and a good ATI card w/1Gig (to use with Photoshop) is about $100... does anyone know if the new MPE module in CS5 will have any benefit for SD editing and output?

How I can export files from CS5.5 to send for further editing in CS6 and no lose quality?

how I can export files from CS5.5 to send for further editing in CS6 and no lose quality?

If all you need for further editing is the contents of your Timeline,
then you should follow Harm's sage advice.
Lagarith Lossless Video Codec

Ut Video Codec Suite
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Ut-Video-Codec-Suite
But, if you will need all of your source media files to continue the edit,
you should consider using the Project Manager.
Trim or copy your project
By using the Project Manager, you will be continuing the edit
with the original media files and there will be no quality loss.
Be aware that once you have edited the project in CS6,
it will be problematic (but not impossible) to return to edit in CS5.5.

Is there any benefit for me to use smart previews if my Lightroom 5 catalog, previews and media are all on the same external USB HD?

I keep everything on 1 External USB3 HD so that I can pug it into my Mac at home or my PC at work and just keep working without syncing anything to the local machine. So is there any benefit with Smart Previews in this case? I heard somewhere that it might make the Develop module a little quicker, but is this only when using the Smart Preview and not the full res image?

Lr uses smart previews instead of ACR cache for initial develop-module view when photos are online - amount of benefit is, in my experience, very minor (not noticeable without using a stop-watch..).
But if photos are offline, you may experience more substantial savings.
Note: smart previews are reduced resolution - smart previews of raw files are 2560 x (say) 1920, so if your original raws were say 5120 x 3840, then you/Lr are dealing with 1/4 the number of pixels when editing via smart previews.
Anyway, if you are willing to give up zoom for one edit pass, you can resize the smart previews so 1:1 fits in your allotted display space (e.g. 1280 x 960, which would be 1/8 number of pixels..), e.g. using the PreviewExporter plugin - then things may be significantly faster in develop module. PreviewExporter also has a feature to take originals offline, and put them back online.
To be clear: the amount of savings may or may not be dramatic - how much there is depends on your system, size of raw vs. smart preview image, number and type of edits applied, etc..
Why don't you try it and tell us what you think?!
Cheers,

Is there any documentation for Digital Editions?

I have several questions.
1) Is there any searchable local documentation for Digital Editions? The only thing I can find is at http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/help/ and that is of no help because it is not available when there is no Internet connection and it cannot be searched.
2) Is there any way to enable a CUA compliant menu bar in Digital Editions? With no menus and no help I have been completely unable to figure out how to use the program.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Bentley beat me to it :)
The online help can be gotten at by hitting "F1" or selecting "Adobe Digital Editions Help" from the Library/Reading drop down menus.

NVIDIA Tesla C1060 - any benefit for CS6?

Hello all
I'm posting this to the CS forum because I might get a more comprehensive answer - or not.
We have a couple of custom made workstations that have NVIDIA Tesla C1060 headless GPU processing cards in them. The company has decided not use the software that these machines were build to run, leaving some very nice processing hardware (the cards) to basically spin away the time doing nothing. I was thinking of pulling one of these things out and plugging it into my Photoshop workstation (win7 64, 24gb ram, CS Design Premium and Lightroom). If I did this and just fired the machine up could I expect any performance improvements from my Adobe apps? Anything AFA tweaks or things in the future makes a move like this worth it?
I read alot about NVIDIA GPU processing for Premiere Pro and After Effects, would this hardware help those programs out (I have those @home)? Seems a waste to have these things essentially doing nothing...
Thanks

Nope. That card is not supported in any Adobe program. Other than adding a tiny slice of processing power on a more generalised CUDA/ OpenCL level in Photoshop or Premiere Pro (with the tradeoff being that it may disable the more specialized Mercury Playback Engine in PPro and assuming there are no driver issues) I don't see it doing anything for you. Would probably make more sense if the company just gave them to some university computer science lab so students can experiment with CUDA and that...

Is JDeveloper any good for PLSQL editing?

Hi,
been using JDeveloper 10.3.1 for db modelling and its very nice (posted a couple of bugs last week and they have been ignored).
Was thinking about using it for PLSQL development but i was disappointe4d to find the templates for packages was incorrect (bug posted) and there's no code formatting.
Is my expectations too high for JDeveloper to be the main db IDE? Swithcing back to PLSQL Developer I think.
Cheers
Rakesh

Hi,
have you heard of Project Raptor? Its a PLSQL programming environment that uses JDeveloper as its shelf. This tool may become what you are looking or and sooner or later also work within JDeveloper itself.

Color Space for external editing

I know I can set LightRoom Preferences to open an image in Photoshop, but it seems my only choices are ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB or sRGB as working spaces. I'd like to set it up to use BetaRGB as my standard editing space. I know I could open in ProPhoto and convert to Beta RGB, but that is an extra step each and every time I edit an image. I would prefer to go straight from LR to Beta RGB in Photoshop.
Is there any way to do this or am I stuck with one of the big three? If I can change it, how?
Thanks,
Lou Dina

Thanks...that'll work, though I'd prefer if Adobe allowed the use of any profile for external editing to retain the features you mentioned.
I just created an Export preset, with Beta RGB, full sized PSD, save to same folder, add to catalog and open in Photoshop after the export is complete. That'll work.
Thanks,
Lou

Is there any benefit to keep the RAW file after editing outside Lightroom creates a TIFF

When working with RAW files in Lightroom and you choose to edit in Photoshop, the only option is "Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustments" (Edit Original is grayed out). This creates a .TIFF so after you come back from Photoshop you now have two copies of the photo--the RAW file and a TIFF version.
In my normal workflow, I make additional edits to the TIFF file in addition to the changes Photoshop made so I'm left with a "out dated" version of the RAW file. Is there any benefit to keeping the RAW file at that point? I'm doubling my disk usage by keeping it.
Fire away.....

Answering this question:
This got me wonderig why LR turns my 25-30mb CR2 RAW files into 80-95 mb TIFF files when it sends them to Photoshop for editing but Photoshop can open the same 25-30 RAW file in DNG format and save it as a 25-30 mb TIFF. Why are the TIFF's LR creates 3x larger than the ones created by PS?
Camera RAW file formats are compressed to a small file size using manufacturer proprietary information about the image sensor pixel layout. This provides a more efficient loss-less file compression algorithm than TIFF's LZW or ZIP compression algorithms. LZW or ZIP compression is not used when Lightroom exports and opens an image in Photoshop for editing, but you certainly have that option when saving the file after applying your PS edits. DNG files using loss-less compression can produce a file size slightly smaller than RAW format, but I have no experience with DNG.
Answering this question:
CS3 can't read Canon .CR2 RAW files (at least mine can't unless there is a plugin of some kind).
Support for newer camera models like your Canon 7D are only added to the then current (and later version) Adobe Camera RAW Converter and Lightroom. Newer Adobe Camera RAW converter versions (6.3) are not supported in older version of Photoshop like CS3. It is the nature of business marketing and also due to the large expense to support older application versions with "new" plug-in features. It would be a support nightmare!
Hypothetical Example:
"Why doesn't Adobe Camera RAW 10.3 work properly with my Canon 1600 D MK XV 45 Megapixel camera in Photoshop CS3?"

Animated zoom in CS5 - any reason for it?

in CS5 the zoom function is much different than CS3 - very distracting. i have the animated zoom checked off but open GL on basic with anti-alias paths off so i can see the pen tool. Is there any reason for this new zoom? i dont see the point and its just annoying - not trying to be a complainer but just wondering why its there. Thanks.

not sure what you mean by interactivly but when i zoom by command + and - it gives me this jerky zoom action. not smooth to me. is this necessary b/c of open GL? i would turn it off b/c i dont use flick panning etc but i need to see my paths

I can't change any information for any songs in my library, everything is just greyed out. How can I get the ability to edit my song information?

I found one other way to do it. I just deleted them all out of my iTunes library. Now I can re-import them from Window's My Music file with the original artists' names intact.
Thanks for your help, Matt!

Hi Mark
Was just looking for the answer to this exact question and I just found something that worked for me so don't know if it might be of use to you or you might have already solved your problem! Basically when I was in iMovie and I clicked to import movies from the computer into iMovie and I found the clip I wanted to import, there are a few options. I think it asked which Event I wanted to add it to but most importantly it asked me what file size I wanted...I had originally been clicking Large because it advised me to because it reduces the file size...but just on a chance there I selected 'Full - Original' for size and it imported perfectly into iMovie in it's original vertical form!
Hope this helps!

I don't know what to order. I want PS for photo editing and some composting. I don't do any website work or sharing yet. I have been using elements for a few years and also have Lightroom 5 on my desktop. I don't want to spend $1000s for a bunch of stuff

Well, there is a whole world of free or affordable software out there like GIMP, PDPaint and similar. Otherwise if you want to stick with Adobe stuff signing up for the CC photography program would be the most cost-efficient way...

I bought CS5 Design Premium (Student and Teacher Edition) 3 years ago. Now I want to upgrade it but where can I find prices for Students and Teachers for upgrades?

There are no upgrades for Student and Teacher Editions. You can continue to use the version you are using, or you can buy CS6 with no special upgrade price, or subscribe to Creative Cloud. However, I believe if you still qualify, you're offered a discount on Creative Cloud.
