Differences between Photoshop CS2, Elements and illustrator?

I've been using iphoto which i love. but see it as a final stage for editing my photos.
im thinking about getting one of the photoshops but dont know which one. this is where i ask what are the differences of CS2, elements and illustrator. Also, what do they each do?
I got illustrator for a little bit but didnt know how to use it. i found it really annoying and got rid of it.
On my old windows laptop would use photoshop 7.0 or whatever it was. i knew how to do the basics but was no expert on it.

As Terence suggested PSE 4 is, IMO, the way to go. Although I use PS CS3 it's just too pricey for the average consumer and PSE4 can do it all except for converting to CMYK for printing on high-end printers. Here's an advanced example of what you can do with PSE4.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    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.

  • Difference between photoshop and illustrator effects?

    Under the effects menu in cs5, what is the difference between photoshop and illustrator effects? when do you use the photoshop ones?
    Thank you.

    The Photoshop effects are copies of similar effects from Photoshop. As such, they can only be applied to raster art, such as that edited in Photoshop. When you apply a Photoshop effect the Illustrator art you apply it to is rasterized in the background and the effect is applied to the rasterized version of the art. If you expand the appearance of anything with a Photoshop effect on it it will be rasterized. The other effects retain all or part of the vector art. When you expand the effect or save a PDF at least some of the original vector art will remain as vectors, although some effects (Drop Shadow, Blur, Feather, Inner Glow, etc.) to add rasterized art to the file.
    The rasterization is non-damaging, in that the original vector, type, or other objets remain fully editable. If you remove the effect the rasterization goes away. There is no dialogue for rasterization resolution in the effect; you set that in Effect > Document Raster Effect Settings.

  • Do we have a way to get the differences between xtext model before and after partial parse?

    Do we have a way to get the differences between xtext model before and after partial parse?
    As an example i have file contains 4 lines, xtext parsed this file and generated its model, then i made small modification in line number 3, so xtext partially parsed the file and generated another model.

    could we get the new nodes added to the model?
    could we get the differences between the two models?

  • Is there any difference between the commerical product and the Teacher/Student version?

    In Adobe Photo Shop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 is there any difference between the commerical product and the Teacher/Student version? I don't remember them having two versions in the past.

    Is there a difference? Sure. Will it be noticable? Maybe.
    The 9i client will use one of the 9i ODBC drivers. The 8i client will use one of the 8i ODBC drivers. The 9i drivers will generally have more bug fixes & more features than the 8i drivers. It is possible, though rare, that the 9i drivers will fix a bug whose behavior your application was dependent on and/or introduce bugs that were not in the earlier version. Of course, you have to consider the different features of the underlying clients as well-- i.e. a 9.2 Oracle client cannot communicate with a 7.3.4 database, an 8i client doesn't know how to handle data types introduced in 9i (i.e. TIMESTAMP), etc.

  • Difference between center,edge mmcm and edge direct allignments

    What is the difference between center, edge mmcm and edge direct allignments.

    Both of these terms are used most often used (but not exclusively) when describing source synchronous interfaces.
    Edge Aligned vs. Center Aligned
    When a device uses source synchronous communication, be it a device that sends data to an FPGA (an input to the FPGA) or a an FPGA sending data to an external device (an output of the FPGA), the device needs to define and describe the timing relationship between the clock and the data that it is forwarding to the other device. The receiving data needs to know this timing relationship in order to devise a mechanism to capture the data.
    The timing relationship can really be just about anything, but two types are common:
    Edge Aligned:
    This is the simplest for the transmitting device. The device simply generates the forwarded clock and data using the same mechanism. If the sending device is an FPGA, then it uses an internal clock to drive an ODDR that drives the forwarded clock, and uses the same clock to send the forwarded data, either using an IOB flip-flop (SDR) or an ODDR flip-flop (DDR).
    Using this mechanism, the timing relationship is often (but not always) described as a skew; i.e. the data will change +/-200ps around the edge/edges of the clock.
    Of course, this clock/data timing relationship can rarely be used "as is" by the recieving device, so the receiving device will be responsible for adding some delay or other mechanism to use the forwarded clock to capture the forwarded data (i.e. an MMCM shift or an IDELAY).
    Center Aligned:
    This is supposed to be the simplest mechanism for the receiver. The transmitter uses some internal structure to place the edges of the forwarded clock in the middle of the forwarded data valid window. In an FPGA (as a transmitter), an internal clock would drive an ODDR for the forwarded clock, but the forwarded data would be driven from either an IOB FF using an inverted clock (SDR) or an ODDR using a clock that is 90 degrees out of phase (DDR). (Or it could be vice versa - the data uses the normal clock, and the forwarded clock uses the inverted or 90 degree clock).
    Using this mechanism, the clock/data relationship is often (but not always) defined as a provided setup/hold relationship around the forwarded clock; i.e. the data will be valid 1.5ns before the edge of the clock and remain valid for 1.5ns after the edge of the clock.
    The idea is that using this timing relationship, the receiver should be able to use the forwarded clock as is to capture the forwarded data. In general, though, this is rarely true, since most devices don't have an equal required setup and hold time; so the receiver still needs to modify the clock/data relationship to center its required window in the provided window.
    MMCM vs. Direct Capture
    This is a different concept. Regardless of which alignment is used (edge, center or something in between), the receiver (now we are assuming it is the FPGA doing the reception) needs to implement some clocking mechanism to use the forwarded clock to capture the forwarded data. There are really two styles:
    Direct Capture:
    The forwarded clock is brought in and goes directly to a clock buffer (either BUFG/BUFH or BUFR/BUFIO), which is used to capture the incoming data. Generally (as I said above), the clock/data timing relationship needs to be changed, and when using this capture mechanism, this can only be accomplished using an IDELAY on the clock or data (or both). When done this way, the clock has a propagation delay through the delay element (the IDELAY)
    MMCM Capture:
    Here, the forwarded clock is brought in on a clock capable I/O, then through an MMCM and from there to a BUFG or BUFH (with feedback to the MMCM). When done this way, the "common" way of modifying the clock/data timing relationship is by adjusting the phase delay of the MMCM output clock.
    There is a subtle but extremely important difference in Vivado (and SDC/XDC) between a propagation delay and a phase delay (or phase shift). It has to do with how the tool determines which clock edge will capture data that is generated by a particular clock edge.
    When we use a set_input_delay, we describe to Vivado a data window associated with a particular clock edge. By default, that data window will be captured by the next edge of the clock. The definition of the next edge is different when using these two mechanisms.
    When a clock edge is propagated through a delay element, the resulting clock is the same edge. Lets take the example of a 10ns clock (rising at 0ns, falling at 5ns) with a 2ns delay (using an IDELAY) capturing an SDR data. The rising edge at time 0ns will generate a data window. By default, it will be captured by the next clock edge, which is at 10ns. After the 2ns of propagation delay, the internal clock at 12ns will be used to capture the window.
    When a clock is phase shifted, a new clock is generated. Using the same example using an MMCM, the output clock of the MMCM rises at 2ns and falls at 7ns (and rises again at 12ns). So, the data window defined by the first rising edge of the input clock (at time 0), will be captured by the next rising edge of the phase shifted clock, which is at 2ns (this 2ns rising edge of the phase shifted clock is the "next" edge after the 0ns edge that generated the data window). This is different than the previous example, where the internal edge at 12ns (not 2ns) would capture the first window.
    As a result, the constraints you use to describe the timing relationship (the set_input_delay) needs to be different between these two styles. Its also a bit messy, since the constraints that are correct for an MMCM with 2ns (or even 0.01ns) of phase delay are not correct for an MMCM with 0ns of phase delay (which is a bit icky).
    I hope that clears things up!

  • Difference between cost component structure and cost component split

    can anyone explain me the difference between cost component structure and cost component split with simple example
    thanks
    santosh

    Hi ,
    cost component structure
    Definition
    Number that identifies the structure.
    Use
    In Product Cost Controlling, the cost component structure determines how the results of material costing are updated. The cost component structure groups the costs for each material according to cost component (such as material costs, internal activities, external activities, and overhead). If the material is used in the production of another material, the cost component split (which breaks down the costs according to material costs, internal activities, external activities, overhead, and so forth) remains in the system when the costs are rolled up.
    In the cost component split, you also define the following for material costing:
    Which part of the costs are fixed costs
    Which costs are
    cost of goods manufactured and what are sales and administration costs
    Which costs are relevant for stock valuation, commercial inventory valuation and tax inventory valuation
    When the cost component structure is assigned to the organizational units, you can specify that two cost component splits are created:
    Main cost component split
    This is the principal cost component split, meaning that it is used in the standard cost estimate, which can be used to update the material master. The main cost component split can be a cost component split for cost of goods manufactured or a primary cost component split.
    Auxiliary cost component split
    This can exist in addition to the main cost component split, and is not used in the standard cost estimate. It can be used for analysis purposes, in that it can be displayed with the cost estimate and passed on to Profitability Analysis.
    In Cost Center Accounting, the cost component structure determines how the results of the activity price calculation are updated. The cost component structure groups the costs for each activity type of the cost center according to components (such as material costs and labor costs). If an internal activity allocation is carried out, the cost component split (which breaks down the costs according to material, labor costs, and so forth) is retained at cost rollup.
    If the cost component split is not to be retained, you can create a switching structure for the cost component structure for Cost Center Accounting. In the switching structure, you specify which sender cost component goes into which receiver cost component.
    <b>require a cost component structure to calculate prices using cost component split.</b>
    For each cost component structure you define a component such as energy, personnel, or raw materials. The components combine all costs occuring for a particular cost element area. In this way, you ensure greater cost transparency in activity price calculation when putting together the activity type prices - for example, it becomes easier to find how much of the activity price is taken up by the material costs.
    In activity allocation, the cost component structure remains constant, meaning that the receiver takes on the sender cost elements and that the allocated costs are posted in the same cost components in the receiver as in the sender.
    A cost component structure can have a maximum of 40 defined cost components.
    Cost components are assigned to cost elements. You thereby determine which cost elements go to which rows in the structure, and how these components are updated in price calculation.
    Hope ths helps
    Please rewad points

  • Difference Between OTL Retro Entry and Salary Change Retro Entry in Payroll

    Hi Everyone,
    We are developing a custom interface from Payroll to Projects which will post all the entries from OTL.
    OTL->Payroll->Projects
    We are stuck with identifying the Difference Between OTL Retro Entry and Salary Change Retro Entry when we process Retropay in Payroll.
    After retropay, we come we would see the retro element entries for both them with same name and creator_type is either EE or RR for both them.
    In our interface we have to treat retro entries through OTL and Salary Change in differentway.
    Has anyone can give some suggestions on this please asap as we are heading towards UAT very soon.
    Thanks in Advance..!!

    Hi Anand,
    Element with creator_type RR are created/generated by Retropay.
    Elements with creator_type EE are regular element entries.

    HI
    Costing-based Profitability Analysis is the form of profitability analysis that groups costs and revenues according to value fields and costing-based valuation approaches, both of which you can define yourself. It guarantees you access at all times to a complete, short-term profitability report.
    Account-based Profitability Analysis is a form of profitability analysis organized in accounts and using an account-based valuation approach. The distinguishing characteristic of this form is its use of cost and revenue elements. It provides you with a profitability report that is permanently reconciled with financial accounting
