Ease of use from ver 2 to ver 8

A long time ago I bought Elements Ver 2 and could not understand it all and returned it.  I am looking for a program to edit photos like fun stuff,,adding people to other picts, changing picture sizes for a group of  picts (pixels/size/names/etc), changing backgrounds etc.  something a bit more than the camera and microsoft standard photo editing has to offer.  Organizing and video is not a real preference to use a lot .   Is the new ver 8 easier to use than the older versions?  Is there another adobe product I should get instead.    Thank you for anyone who can take the time to assist me.

Version 8 is easier in that it has more one-button fixes and some newer tools to help you, but there is no program from anyone where it's a snap to move a person from one photo to another. I would suggest downloading the trial for PSE 8 and seeing if you like it. There are millions of tutorials on the internet now for anything you might want to do, which wasn't the case for version 2.
Oh, and no, there's nothing simpler from adobe. You might want to look into something like Picasa if you find PSE 8 too much.

    This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
    Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I am using Firefox ver. 3.0.19 and I have Windows 7. When I use Firefox as a browser I cannot print my emails. I get an error message: "pcfax not availabe". If I use IE I have no problem printing the emails.

    I am using Firefox ver. 3.0.19 and I have Windows 7 which came with a new computer. When I use Firefox as a browser I cannot print my emails. I get an error message: "pcfax not availabe". If I use IE I have no problem printing the emails.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == From day 1 with the new computer about two weeks ago.

    It sounds like you have the wrong printer selected.
    When you get the Print window, pick another printer from your printer dropdown. You seem to have a fax printer selected instead of a physical printer.

  • Import Database from ver.8i to 8.05

    Can I import Database from old version to new version (like from ver. 8i to 8.05)?
    If it can, how ?

    Yes you can do import from old version to new version without any problem. However new version to old version has some restrictions. You cannot import the export file taken in 8i into 8. In this case you have to take export using oracle 8.0 export utility.

  • Software up-grade for N95-1 from ver. 11 to ver. 2...

    Hi experts,
    Could you advice me is it safe to make direct up-grade of my Nokia N95 from S60 rev.3 ver.11 to ver.21? Or it should be done step wise - from ver. 11 to ver. 12 then to ver. 20 then to ver. 21 ???
    Regards,
    vasbas

    Hi all,
    I put here my experience with software up-grade and some thoughts about new soft (after one week practicing):
    Preparation for soft up-grade took me about three days - discussion on forum, reserve copying of existing content on memory card and on PC, read instructions on Nokia site, saving my installation sisx files for additional soft as Quickoffice and Goodlink.
    Firmware soft up-date itself took about 45 min - for updater and soft update. No problems encountered! ) It was quick and reliable.
    Quickoffice reinstallation was quick and troublefree! )
    Good reinstallation took as usual few hours. (
    After swithching on phone was with more attractive screens and fonts. I found very useful new feature as Search: My content. Quick access to all application and information on phone. Small problem - to initialize it each time takes about 5-10 sec - slow.
    Another improvement - BT is more stable and connection do not lost when I changing languages on my wireless keyboard application - very useful - save you about few mins to restore Quickword file and keyboard applications again.
    New menu is more functional and well though!
    Today however discovered problem with Maps application. When I off-load it from phone memory (Exit command) - GPRS indicator is still presented on screen (as on hold - dashed) and no possible to make calls - gives Connection error message. Nothing helps only hard restart. After hard restart (on/off button) phone is working as normal but after second trial with Maps story repeated. (((
    Last thing to mention - lock code after new firmware soft up-grade is restored to 12345 but not to user defined one even after back up data transferred back to phone from memory card.
    All other settings as SMS, MMS, Internet, etc., diverts are restored to user defined automatically (from memory card).
    Do not noticed improvement in battery power consumtion decrease.
    Cheers,

The IMAC will play rented dvd movies.   The dvd movie plays fine on my Mac Book Pro (10.6.8) on the Pro's DVDPlayer (vers.5.4) abd in my external Sony DVD Player  The dvd move was made/burned on a PC.   Why will a dvd movie play on my Macbook Pro and not my IMAC?

    Hello:
    This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
    When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

The only thing it will do is show me a graphic of thr lightning cable facing up to an arrow and then to a circular blue iTunes icon. I interpert this to mean "connect the iPod to my computer thru the USB cable while iTunes is running. I do this and nothing changes. Total lock up. Any ideas?

  • Updating and restoring from Ver 4.3.3 to Ver 7

    My ipad needed updating from Ver 4.3.3. So I backed up my ipad and then updated from iTunes to the latest ver 7.   Everything seemd to be going ok and it appeared tht the Ipad had been updated and files were restored.   However, the iPad said to connect to iTunees to restore.  When I went back into iTunes and hit restore, a message popped up asking if I'm sure I want to restore from iTunes since the files were on the computer. I did backup on iTunes before updating so assume this is ok.  Just don't understand why it appeared it already restored the iPad from my computer and now have to restore from Itunes.  Any suggestions are appreciated.

    my iPad just keeps saying to connect to iTunes, which I have done several times. Hit restore and have done several times.  The iPad just seems stuck on "connecting to iTunes" even though I've tried to restore, etc.  All info has been backed up!  Sorry that I have tried to update to this latest version.  Any suggestions are appreciated

  • Ease of use

    I am looking for cheap easy to use camcorder for my little nephew. He's 8. Since I want him to be able to shoot video and then use it with iMovie '08 it's not just ease of use in the camcorder I'm looking for, but ease of use with iMovie '08.
    I'd like some opinions of using iMovie '08 with either of these cameras.
    Aiptek A-HD 720P - $130
    Flip Ultra - $85
    From what I have read, the Aiptek H.264 files drop right into iMovie '08, but the files from the Flip Ultra need converting before hand. The flip might have ease of use as a camera going for it, but I think the converting might be a downside.
    What do you guys think? Ever use either of these with iMovie '08? Any hassles to be aware of? Thanks for the info in advance.

    If you have a deadline of 12 days you are risking a lot gambling that you can learn FCE in that time.
    As David says, some people might be able to do it but until you try there is no way of knowing whether you are one of those, and if you aren't it's too late.
    If it is possible to finish it in iMovie, that should be your course.
    FCE bears no resemblance to iMovie so it's not just a matter of making a natural progression, it's an entirely different mindset.

  • Camcorder options for HD and ease of use

    I am new to the mac computer and also looking at buying one of two models of camcorders and wanted to see what the mac specialist help. I am interested in the Sony HDR-SR10 40GB High Definition Handycam (I like the 10 mega pix still option) or the Cannon VIXIA HG10. I have received mixed information at the electronic stores about which would work well with the apple system. Any recommendations on ease of use for a novice with apple? Thank you.

    Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
    For a bit of info on the Sony, see camcorderinfo here, and on the Canon, see here.
    Hard-disc hi-def camcorders record video in AVCHD format, which has to be converted into a slightly different 'Apple Intermediate Codec' format during importing into iMovie, for editing. This works OK with fast, Intel-based Macs (..all the most recent models..) but will NOT work with older PowerPC-based Macs (two or three years old) unless you download a separate program called VoltaicHD (click here).
    On slower Macs you may find that the import lags slightly behind the 'real time' movie, as the video is converted during the import.
    Video from hi-def camcorders which record onto miniDV tape (instead of a hard disc or memory chips or miniDVDs) using the HDV mode (instead of AVCHD) can be imported straight into any older PowerPC-based Mac or a newer Intel-based Mac ..but, again, there may be a lag during import if using an older PowerPC-based Mac, but not on any current fast Macs.

  • Should Windows 10 provide ease of use virtual machine to run Android, Windows XP, etc applications

    In Windows 7, I really like the easy access to Windows XP Mode that enabled me to have full compatibility to my older hardware scanner and its software (which I still use today).  Similarly, I love my Z30 Blackberry phone which allows me to run Android
    applications in addition to those from the Blackberry store.
    My suggestion for Windows 10 is to provide a built in virtual machine option (ease of use) that would allow my Windows machine to install and run the multitude of Android applications that are currently available.
    I believe an ease of use feature like this in Windows 10 would become a real differentiator for Windows eco systems, such as Windows Phones and Windows Surface and help promote sales and product adoption.  To me it is another way of looking at the product
    and making it the best in any world...  Kind of like running the MS Office product on a Mac.

    Microsoft Office for Mac was purposefully written for Macs, it doesn't use an emulator to run the PC version. Microsoft earns revenue from the sales of Microsoft Office for Mac.
    You're not going to see Microsoft going out of their way to enable running Android apps on Windows 10.
