Does Windows 8 work well with Captivate ?

Hi,
I need to replace a laptop that stopped working today.
Windows 8 has come out today as well !
I want to know whether its OK to specify windows 8 professional for the new PC or whether I need windows 7 professional.
Currrent tech specs do not menton whether windows 8 is OK
http://www.adobe.com/products/captivate/tech-specs.html
or on the FAQ

Hi Vikram,
There are two different answers from Adobe about windows 8 and captivate : Your answer
"We are still testing Adobe Captivate 6 on Windows 8" While Allen said on the captivate.adobe.com that it is for a future version [1]
Can you confirm whether we are going to get a Windows 8 compatible release as
the rest of the creative suite is now compatible with Windows 8
http://www.adobe.com/au/products/creativesuite/faq.html#windows
The new release 6.1 shows only windows 7 http://www.adobe.com/au/products/elearningsuite/faq.html
[1] Allen advised a month ago that it a future release, but we have had a release since then  http://captivate.adobe.com/captivate/topics/will_captivate_6_work_on_windows_8
"I do expect that a future version of Captivate will be released for Windows 8, but at this point there are no announcements about when that might be. I can tell you that the last release was in June of 2012, and that historically we usually see new releases about every 12-15 months. Sometimes releases are even more frequent."

  • Does Lightroom work well with hiDPI Windows 8.1 touchscreen ultrabooks?

    Hi all,
    My old laptop is on the fritz, shopping for a new one.
    Apart from the Web, the application I use the most is Lightroom.
    I've been interested in the nice new ultrabooks, but I'm wondering: does Lightroom work well with hiDPI Windows 8.1 touchscreen ultrabooks?
    Is hiDPI advantageous, or actually annoying?
    What can you actually use touch for in Lightroom, and does it improve your workflow?
    Thanks kindly!

    I am not 100% sure whether lightroom supports HiDPI on windows but on Mac OS X it is absolutely fantastic (I use a retina MBP). So I would see if you can try it out somewhere. My guess is that Lightroom supports it on Windows too and then I can highly recommend it.
    No clue if touch works well or not for Lightroom. My guess is not as almost always using touch in applications that were not designed for it is very kludgey.

  • I have aMacBook Pro with Mountain Lion operating system. Does MacKeeper work well with this Operating System

    I have a MacBook Pro with Retina Display. My operating System is Mountain Lion 10.8.5  Does MacKeeper work well with Maontain Lion 10.8.5 and provide good Virus protection? Appreciate the support.

  • New FocusTraversalPolicy Mechanism Does Not Work Well With OO Designs

    I would like to complain about the new focus traversal mechanism not working well with object-oriented GUI designs.
    Specifically, we have many reusable panel classes that can be swapped in and out of reusable dialog classes. On some of these panels, the default focus traversal is not what is desirable, perhaps because one component on the right side of the window is just slightly higher than a component on the left side, maybe due to the component on the right having a label on top, and so the default focus goes to the component on the right instead of the left. So we have a need to be able to explicitly define the order of components in some panels.
    If I try to define a focus traversal policy in the panel's constructor, a NullPointerException is thrown because the panel's focus cycle root is null (the panel has not been added to any dialog or frame yet).
    If I try to associate a focus traversal policy at the dialog level, it would have to explicitly reference its child panels' inner components, which would break the encapsulation of the panels. It would also make it hard to have generic dialog classes into which various reusable panel objects can be swapped.
    Someone suggested making each panel a focus cycle root. This makes it hard to "break out" of one panel to move on to the next panel in the dialog. Special keys would have to be assigned to try to cycle out, and these keys would have to be different than the normal traversal keys, making them inconsistent and nonintuitive to the user. Also, the focus policy would have to know if the dialog had more than one panel, what order the panels were in to know whether to cycle to the next panel or not, etc. This is a mess.
    Does anyone have any idea how to get around these problems? I have tried using a global focus policy with a global hash map of prev/next component key-value pairs, but we are still running into trouble with some deeply nested tabbed dialogs. It's just not possible to always have the focus cycle root in existence at the point where you want to explicitly define traversal between two components, or when you are trying to establish the default component for a panel in a tabbed pane.
    Has anyone else run into similar issues?

    I agree completely. One of the popular consultants on this forum stated that the new focus mechanism was more versatile and only a little more complex. I would say it's more than a little complex given the trouble average programmers are having understanding how it works...at least at first...and after understanding it realizing that they are going to have type their fingers off to update their code. Oh, and the dread of maintaining this awful mess.
    I'm currently having the same problem as you Robbie. Some of my reusable panels need special tab ordering...that's not usually a problem, in most programming environments, till now. Now I have to go around the world and back just to get my stupid cursor to be in the right place when I hit the tab key??!!! and special key mappings just to get out of a focus cycle...lame.
    And how is an IDE graphical designer going to work with this? It's not, that's how...ok maybe if some kind person or company creates a custom focus traversal policy editor of some kind, I don't know.
    Good grief Sun! We need something to help us meet our deadlines, not solutions that force us to spend 80% of our time customizing every stinking bit of UI functionality we need!!!
    JTables are even worse. I've mastered most of the garbage that is JTable after many months of pain and I don't know how I'm going to help my peers understand them in any short amount of time. Most of them were Oracle Forms programmers, not that that is any great solution either. But they will likely have problems.
    In conclusion, I wish I had chosen another UI technology for our new product client, and may yet.

  • Does Photoshop work well with retina display?

    I am returning a PC notebook because Photoshop UI is too tiny for practical use with hi res PC notebooks (crazy, but very true) . Before I buy an Apple (Macbook Pro), can someone please confirm that Photoshop works well with retina display monitors? I need reassurance before I waste my time and money on another laptop. Adobe has already cost me hundreds in restocking fees for a notebook Photoshop will not support. 

    Im hoping to clear up some confusion with regards to Retina display support in Photoshop CS6. In December,  Adobe released Photoshop update version 13.0.3 (for Mac perpetual customers) and version 13.1.1 (for Creative Cloud members, Mac and Windows). So, if you have PSCS6 – through either the perpetual (“box copy”) or Adobe Creative Cloud membership (“subscription”), and you run the updater, you will have Retina support.  Here’s how to get the update:
    1. In Photoshop, choose Help > Updates.
    2. The Adobe Application Manager will launch. Select Adobe Photoshop CS6 and choose Update.
    How to confirm that the Update worked
    1. In Photoshop, choose Help > About Photoshop (Win), or Photoshop > About Photoshop (Mac)
    2. For Mac perpetual customers, the version at the top should be Version: 13.0.3
    3. For Win/Mac Creative Cloud members, the version at the top should be Version: 13.1.1

  • Does MAcBook Work well with HDTVs?

    I'm trying to decide between a macbook and mac mini.
    I know I want to hook them up to an HDTV via DVI or HDMI.
    I'm leaning toward a mac book since it is also portable, but have some questions
    1)Will it work as well as a mini as a PVR, if at all?
    2)IS the image processing as good as the mini?
    3)Does apple have a docking station available that way i will not have to unplug my video, audio, and power cable everythimg i want to take my mac book with me.

    Well in response to your question:
    You can hook it up via DVI, so no worries there.
    It will work as well as the Mini in both areas because the video graphics are exactly the same. They both use integrated Intel graphics. Now it wont have as good image processing as the MacBook Pro, iMac, or MacPro, which use a dedicated graphics card, but when comparing it to the Mini, it will be the same.
    I don't believe Apple has a docking station like that.
    Hope this helps.

  • Does cubase work well with MacBook pro?

    Looking into buying a MacBook pro and wondering if using it for music and running cubase through it is good?

    I have been using Vistitle a lot on EDIUS and have also produced some videos on its basic use that you can see on YouTube.  I am also a reseller but I do sell all the other titles programs as well so am pretty objective.
    I do think Vistitle is brilliant and quick.  It is quite "after effects" like in its interface and can do a gue amount of things.  I could do most of the same things in After Effects which you may have if you are on the Cloud or have a Production Premium, although I find no easy way of doing the particle effects that Vistitle has in After Effects and the 3D text is quicker to render for me.  The main advantage I find is speed and ease of use since it is working directly in Premiere as opposed to using the AE dynamic link.
    The have also just prodcued a trial versions which you can use and see how well you get on with it : http://www.vistitle.com/listdownload.asp?id=62
    Vistitle uses a dongle for copy protection so if you decide to buy it you will need something physically sent to you - which may or may not be a problem where you are with Christmas coming.  In the UK, where I am, this means you would have to order it before the end of next week, or wait until next year.

  • Does VisTitle work well with Premiere Pro?

  • DNG 5.4 does not work well with Olympus E-620

    I just installed the DNG converter 5.4 to use with the RAW ORF files from my new Olympus E-620.  The converted images are not the same as the jpg images or the RAW images as converted by the Olympus Master software.  They are duller in the highlights and darker in the shadows.  The difference is NOT small and is readily noticeable in the image and when comparing the histogram.  It looks like part of the problem may be that the Olympus automatic gradation may not be interpreted properly, but the difference is even more than just this.  I can turn this on and off in the Olympus Master and the difference is similar but a greater difference than just this alone.  Further, the Olympus Master software cannot open the DNG files.
    I would also like to rgister my high dissatisfaction with the short life of the Adobe software due to the new RAW converters not working with older Photoshop or Lightroom software versions.  I am using Lightroom 1.2 and PS CS3, and I do not want to spen the considerable cost of upgrade only to be able to convert my RAW files.  Also, I do not like to have to convert my RAW files to DNG first, because I loose some of the editing options that I can only do in the Olympus software, and it creates another step in my workflow.

    Well, doh...since Camera Raw is using it's own processing parameters and algorithms, the odds of ACR "matching" the camera makers software is not real high. At some point when ACR 5.4 is finally released Adobe may have some additional DNG Profiles for the camera that may make color a closer match but the tone curve will prolly always needs tweaks. It would behoove you to either create presets that you can apply in Bridge or alter your ACR "Defaults".

    It's been Adobe's policy to only support currently shipping products. As such, customers who upgraded to Ps CS4 can expect about 18 months of free support and Camera Raw updates. Fact is that while you WERE a current customer when you bought CS3 and you got 6 free ACR updates (ACR 4.6 was the last version for CS3), you are no longer a current customer.
    You may not like the DNG Converter step, but that's what you have if you wish to use your new camera with your old software...your other alternative is, of course to simply use the software that came with your camera.

  • Does Aperture work well with itunes

    I recently exciled iphoto from the kingdom. I am reading that aperture is a good next step. I had lightroom but was a mess working along side iphoto (i used iphoto to sync with all my apple stuff). Question is will aperture organize, sync and allow iphone, ipad and macbook to talk at sync in itunes without a bunch of headache?
    Is there a better organizer out there with more controls than iphoto without leaving copies of photos everywhere. LR kept originals and I had **** getting iphoto to operate on its own without LR controling the game.

  • Does the Panasonic AG-HMC150 AVCHD work well with FCE?

    My buying finger is poised over the "send" button so that I can buy a Panasonic AG-AMC150 AVCHD camcorder, but I read a couple of reviews which have given me pause.
    One says that FCE does not work well with this camcorder and I need a REaLLY powerful Mac or I am sunk.
    Yet another says that working with this 'corder's AVCHD and FCE is a pain in the neck.
    A little first hand knowledge would be an enormous help. Thank you.
    (PS They did not use the words 'sunk' or 'neck.')

    Sasha, once again, thank you.
    No questions, but for the sake of completeness, and to assist those who may read this thread, let me make a couple of comments.
    I like this camcorder, because of its features and price, and I am about to buy it. If I were doing event work, such as weddings, I don't think I would. I make family documentaries and scripted movies, so a shoulder mount is not important to me.
    I like to buy from Amazon. They sported a low price and I have always had an excellent experience with them. Their supplier is Willoughby's whom I looked up on Sellerratings.com. The reviews I read there led me to decide to buy nothing else from Willoughby's, just the camera, and to examine it carefully when it arrives to make sure that it is in its original sealed packing. I recommend that you check Sellerratings.com before placing an order, too. I trust Amazon, but I am sending off my order with some trepidation. I shall buy a larger battery and some SD cards elsewhere. (The battery that comes withe the camcorder seems to be universally despised.)
    Beware of the reviews on the Amazon site. A large number of them, mostly mis-spelled, are, to me anyway, suspiciously rapturous. No camcorder is that good. One reviewer said that the HMC150 changed his life. Really?
    The Panasonic site has a wealth of detail about this camcorder.
    I found some good and useful info on YouTube, too, particularly one video which showed a videographer using the this camcorder and explaining his set-up procedures step by step.
    Much about requirements and compatability can be seen in this thread. Thank you Sasha
    OK That is enough. Hope this was of some help.

  • Does 10.7.5  work well with aperture?

    Does aperture work well with a Mac mini, Lion 10.7.5?   was there an initial problem that has been solved?   I was about to down load it when I read of some real problems.  I have never used aperture. But it seemed like a good application to use with iphoto.

    Aperture works well with Lion 10.7.5. and it will offer you many advanced features compared to iPhoto.
    If you read about problems, they are usually caused by problems on the particular systems running the applications.
    I'd check the hardware requirements. How much RAM does your Mac MIni have? Aperture is more efficient with plenty of memory. You should have at least 4GB of memory, more would be better.
    Have you looked at the Tutorials at the  Aperture Support page? Look at the information there to see, if you would like to work with Aperture, maybe try it out at your local Apple Store?
