Difference of Photoshop Lightroom and Photoshop Elements

I'm using PSE5 since some years, starting with PSE2 already. On the first look LR seams to have more or less the same features as PSE, but better suited for professional users. What would be the arguments for changing from PSE to LR and is there a comparison available of this to products? Has someone experience migrating from PSE to

My oppinion, as a "former" PSE7 user:
The library in LR (organizer in PSE) offers much more functions like filtering, collections, smart collections, compare view, ...
The development workflow in LR is much more logical, by having all the different development tools in one panel, one after the other in the sequence in which one usually goes thru changing a picture
The way of non-destructive editing is a big advantage over changing and saving the image after change. One has to get used to this though, because it's a different concept
One big thing PSE does not have is the adjustment brush, I've been using Nik Viveza for that in PSE, which I rarely use anymore now.
All together, LR to me seems much more straight forward and logical to work with pictures than PSE. I've been using LR for 3 months now and I really love working with it, it's well worth the money. I rareley ever go back into PSE again, unless performing functions that LR does not have, like scene cleaner, Photomerge panorama etc.
I've invested quite some time watching LR videos to understand how to work with it.

Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

Photoshop Lightroom and Photoshop CS5 .psd files compatibility

Currently I'm trying to open a .psd file for a graphic in Lightroom but I cannot see any .psd extensions. Any idea how to do so? In other words, .psd is not in the supported files extensions in Lightroom? Anybody knows how to deal with such problem?

Hi Jasonized,
     Thank you for your response! I appreciate it a lot. However, I'm watching Chris Orwig who did it without a problem. The vidio is named 0205 Using a graphic identity plate.mov, time 01:40 from this movie. These are lessons for Photoshop Lightroom. The title is called 'Photoshop Lightroom 3 Essential Training' from Lynda.com.
     If somebody wish I could provide him/her with the movie file to see exactly what it's all about.
     I believe the answer should be something connected with compatibily in photoshop.
     I would appreciate if someone give me a fresh idea how to solve this issue.
     Bye for now!! Cheers!!

How can I syncronize Lightroom and Photoshop Elements data?

How can I syncronize Lightroom and Photoshop Elements data?

Hi Palsaran,
As i understood, your requirement is to POST data from UI to backend.
The above code you given is not correct if you want to use model based implementation.
In UI5 you don't need to do an explicit Ajax call, for which we can use Models like OData, JSON etc.
For your JSON example, you can use like,
var oModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel();
var oData = "YOUR JSON DATA";
oModel.setData(oData)
oModel.loadData(yourURL/Entityset,"POST");
For ref, you can use the below link

How to make colors looks same in Lightroom and Photoshop?

The colors of JPGs with sRGB colorspace are displayed differently between Lightroom and Photoshop and other image view applications.
I edited RAW images in Lightroom and export them to JPG files with sRGB colorspace, but their colors are eventually different from what I saw in LR.
(I set ProPhoto as the colorspace for my Photoshop.)
Is there anything I can do to solve this problem? Or maybe to reduce the color difference?
What is the best I can do to manage colors for those images that I want to share on the internet?
Thank you !!!

If colours look different between two colour managed applications such as LR and PS then you have either not calibrated your monitor at all or are using a corrupt monitor profile.
If the former you require a calibration device, such as a Spyder (lots of other around). If the second then re calibrate.
In the meantime you can set your monitor to use a colour space such as sRGB as a profile. This is not a solution, it is a temporary fix. Using a colour space as a monitor profile is not colour management, but will at least make the colour appear the same on your monitor.
There are some useful links concerning colour management and LR here you may wish to read.

In Creative Cloud, does the $9.99/month Individual Photography plan come with BOTH Lightroom and Photoshop CC?

In Creative Cloud, does the $9.99/month Individual Photography plan come with BOTH Lightroom and Photoshop CC? It is not very clear on the home page. It shows both and mentions both, but doesn't specifically say BOTH come with the monthly $9.99/month plan. Can somebody clarify?

You can right click the tab and choose "Close Tab" to close a tab.
Some menu entries are hidden by default and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu.
You can see the difference if you use Alt+F or Alt+B to open the "File" and "Bookmarks" menu and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by pressing Alt or by pressing F10.
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.

Update Macto Yosemite before downloading Lightroom and Photoshop?

I Have a desktop Mac with Lion version 10.7 on which I currently run Elements 10 and the Google Nik plug-ins. I am considering
upgrading my editing to the photography CC package of Lightroom and Photoshop CC.
In order to get the best out of these should I take the step of upgrading my desktop to Yosemite from the present Lion version?

Let's get a little more info on your computer:

How are Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Adobe Lightrom different

Hi,
I found two products as "ADOBE PHOTOSHOP LIGHTROOM" and other one says "ADOBE LIGHTROOM".
Below is the snapshot as well which is getting me confused.
Appreciate the help!!!
Thanks,

Quote "No-one but Adobe understands why Adobe insists on referring to Lightroom as both Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom."
Up to a few months before Lightroom was released in the market and still in "Beta" mode the decision was made to change the name from "Adobe Lightroom" to "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom". This was a poor decision on Adobe's part and has led to confusion to what Lightroom is as a product.
Lightroom is in effect an alternative to "Bridge and the Adobe Camera Raw Plugin" that is available for the use in Photoshop CS and Photoshop Elements.
Lightroom is not Photoshop and the inclusion of the name only causes confusion.

Color spaces in Lightroom and Photoshop

I read that Lightroom uses the large ProPhoto color Space and then again, that it's gamma curve ist close to sRGB. So what is my color space when working in Lightroom? ProPhoto, or sRGb, or something else?
And what kind of a color management workflow between Photoshop and Lightroom do you advocate? Using ProphotoRGB or sRGB as color work space in Photoshop? I used to work in AdobeRGB in Photoshop. Has this to be changed to gain maximum color consistency?
Thanks again for any help!
Johann M Ginther

Hey Claude,
if it did not have an attached profile it is almost definitely in sRGB or, more rarely, Apple RGB. Lightroom always assumes sRGB for untagged files which is typically a safe bet. Photoshop generally uses the working space for untagged images. Since you had adobeRGB there, you should get a more saturated image in photoshop then in Lightroom. The same data is simply interpreted in a different color space leading to different colors. This has nothing to do with the monitor profile therefore and my initial hunch was wrong. So for untagged images in photoshop, you should usually assign sRGB to them instead of working space.
>As for calibration hardware we do use them here so I will use it but since the Mac was brand new out the box I assumed that it was ok...
Unfortunately, in general the canned calibration is not very good on Macs. I find very large differences between the shipped profile and a profile generated by a calibrator. Also, Apple ships profiles that set your display's gamma to 1.8 instead of the standard 2.2. This leads to many images in webbrowsers being too low contrast. Even Apple suggests recalibrating your screen at 2.2 if you do digital photography work (it's in their Aperture help files). In this case though the difference between Lightroom and Photoshop had nothing to do with the monitor profile but was related to photoshop interpreting untagged files in its working space instead of the more likely sRGB space.

COLOR DISPLAY IN LIGHTROOM AND PHOTOSHOP

Hi I am a new user of Lightroom but a longtime user of Photoshop.
My question is this:
When opening the exact same TIFF file in Lightroom and Photoshop CS3 is there a way to configure Lightroom so that it will display the image exactly like Photoshop ? I mean the difference that I get is not dramatic but if there is a way to make it perfect I would love to know.
Thanks,
Claude from Montreal

Printing: Lightroom and Photoshop

Ok...so today I tried to run my first print since getting lightroom. Quick run down on my color management (although I am still learning on this subject as well). My monitor is calibrated with an eye one display. My camera (Canon 300D) is set to AdobeRGB profile. I am running an Epson 2400, Ilford Smooth Pearl paper, with the profile provided from Ilford, and have it set to have the printer determine colors. And I am running Lightroom and Photoshop CS2.
I have been printing with this combonation beautifully for about a year now. I do have one small thing about my setup, even calibrated, my monitor is a little dark, so I must do a small curves adjustment on my final version to get the print to be perfect. I have accepted this (not the newest or best monitor) and just set an action to run before printing.
So, today, I tried to print from Lightroom. The print came out WAY too dark...I mean, my blue sky is a dark purple...odd. So I said, well I need this print, let me move it to photoshop, drop the curve and print from there. Well...the blue came out blue, but the image is still a little dark...I will play with the curve again to see if I can get it right. I don't have a problem with doing this for now, but I am wondering why the images are darker then they used to be, even in photoshop.
Also, can I create actions in Lightroom, something like develop presets that I can run AFTER I am done working on an image that we prep the document for print?
Sorry for the long post...thanks for any help...

So...you're using the canned profile from Ilford...and in Lightroom you've added that via "Other" correct? When you select that profile you are then using Lightroom color management and then you go into the Epson driver under Properties, Mode Custom and then select Off under Color Management, right? You've also selected the correct media that Ilford reccomends with the Pearl paper?
If you hit print from there than that should take care of it. Note however that if you change the page template, it _WILL_ change the print output settings making you update to the profile again.
So far, I get equal output results from Lightroom and Photoshop CS2/3 when using the same profile and printing under Mac or Win. So, if you are _NOT_ getting the same results, your settings are not equal-something somewhere is set incorrectly.
