Hobbiest with CS5.5, do you recommend CS6?

Thanks for those with a few minutes to share your thoughts.  First, to let you know, I downloaded the trial and was too busy at the time to do much with it for the 30 day trial.
I can get the upgrade if it improves the editing experience.  I am on a Mac Book Pro i7 2.0 intel quad core, 4 gigs ram , summer 2011.  CS5.5 seems to run just fine on my computer.
Thanks again

  • Which VGA with TV-OUT do you recommend?

    Hi,
    I want to play DVD/SVCD on my television from my computer.   I have a P4 1.6A and MSI 845G MAX MB with on-board graphics, but it does not have TV-out.  I was thinking of buying the Sigma Xcard or the ATI Radeon 9000 just for the TV-OUT.    
    My questions are:
    1) Do you think the ATI Radeon 9000 S-Video out is excellent to watch DVD from my computer to the TV?
    Is the Sigma Xcard better or
    2) Will I see any great difference in graphics performance from the 845G?  (I don't play games and I have a 15" LCD monitor... not a CRT.... so I'm hoping that sending playing movies on my computer with the signal out to the TV would be as good as a stand-alone DVD player).
    3)  I have a Sony DVD player but it doesn't play SVCD, and I have a Winfast TV2000 XP capture card which I can use as a time-shifting/recorder.   Will the TV-OUT be a good clean signal?  (Assuming the Winfast tuner is clean)
    Thanks

    Thanks Fam for your responses...  I'm hoping to use the TV out so I hope reading the note on the Intervideo site it will work since ATI or NVIDIA chips use Macrovison:
    "The warning you see when starting WinDVD for the first time also informs you of the Macrovision restriction. Macrovision is an anti-taping mechanism that modifies a signal so that the signal appears unchanged on most televisions but is distorted when played back from videotapes. Our software will not allow playback of DVDs with graphic boards that contain a TV out component unless they use Macrovision to prevent the creation of an illegal copy of the DVD title"  
    If the graphics board does NOT use Macrovision, then WinDVD will only play if the TV-OUT is disabled.  

  • Will ACR8.6 work with CS5.1?

    Bought a new Nikon D810, and my version of Photoshop, CS5.1 says it will not work with this raw image. Can this newer version of ACR plug in to my version of Photoshop?

    Yes, you can use the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 to convert your raw NEF files to raw DNGs first, which you can then open in any version of ACR higher than 2.3.
    But ACR 8.6 will never work with CS5.1, and you will never be able to open your raw NEF files directly in CS5.1.  You will have to take the extra step of running the Adobe DNG Converter on every batch of raw files you take with your camera.
    More importantly, you should be aware that you will be leaving a lot of image quality on the table if you work with any version of ACD 7.4—which also requires CS6 to run.  The rendering in Adobe Camera Raw took a significant leap forward in ACR 7.4 and later versions.
    It would be a real shame to work with an expensive Nikon camera and not obtain optimal raw conversions. 

  • Are we now requiered to buy CS6 to get camera raw 8.4 or is there an upgrade that works with CS5?

    I use CS5 and don't want CS6. I do however need to upgrade camera raw and would like to get 8.4 or newer. Is there a way to get it without having to buy a whole new program? If not I guess I'll have to stop using CS6 and Lightroom 5 for my work and use another program.

    Since I shoot in a raw format,
    With which camera?
    Their current offer is $10 a month or $120 a year to upgrade to CS 6/CC
    You don't have to join the Cloud to get CS6. You can also upgrade to the perpetually licensed version of CS6.

    since I prefer not to store my work on somebody else's system
    As a Cloud member, you can still store your files locally just as you do now. That's my preferred workflow too.
    Cloud membership does come with 20GB of Cloud storage space on remote servers but using it is optional. You're not obliged to.
    I have been with Adobe and using both Photoshop and lightroom since beginning, but I guess all good things must come to an end at sometime.
    Using the free DNG converter, you can continue with your current software and your current camera. You just have to convert the camera's Raw files to DNGs first.

  • Anyone using GridIron NucleoPro 3 with cs5/cs6 please?

    hello,  this is probably digging up bones from the past
    however, are there any users using GridIron NucleoPro 3 with cs5/cs6?
    just wanting to chitchat about it if possible
    thanks in advance, j

    I still have one machine configured with CS5 and Nucleo Pro, because it offers some functionality that AE->AME workflow does not. 
    AME is a great way to background render individual output files, but it lacks the sophistication of the Render Queue when you need to render specifics and multiple files.  I have an ongoing job that requires the weekly generation of around 30 categories of an award show.  Each category (project) requires the output of two video files and two stills from specific parts of the timeline of one comp.  These output parameters, including output formats, locations and in-out points, are stored in the project template's Render Queue.  As far as I'm aware, there's no easy way to move all these parameters to AME easily - a great deal of manual interaction would be required to generate each of the 120 output files from 30 projects each week.  Whereas, using Nucleo I just hit render and keep working.  It's literally a one click workflow.
    It's a shame there isn't a "Send After Effects Render Queue to Adobe Madia Encoder" function.  I must lodge a feature request.
    Nucleo Pro does a great job of background rendering, and I do miss it's availability in later versions of AE.  There is also a script available over at AE Scripts that background renders.

  • Is Dreamweaver CS6 compatible with CS5.5?

    Is Dreamweaver CS6 compatible with CS5.5?

    HTML is HTML, CSS is CSS.  The code will be fine.  If you are using features specific to that verison, the GUI elements will obviously not be visible, but you can still edit in code view.  An example of this is the Fluid Grid Layouts in CS6 that are not present in CS5.5.  The code will be editable and you will be able to see the changes, but the Grid background won't be there visually.

  • CS6 - does import DV files used with CS5.  File conversion is N.G.  Help!

    Trying to upgrade from CS5 to CS6.  Upgraded one NLE and found CS6 will not import DV files that were used with CS5.   Can't believe Adobe missed this one!  We create many DV files each day that can't be used with CS6.  Any sort of conversion would just add another unnecessary step.  Do I need to stay with CS5 or is there a fix?  Thanks.

  • Do you recommend sharing an apple ID with my wife or using my own?

    Currently my wife and I own an Ipad and have one Apple ID which we use for itunes to buy apps and songs and what not and sync to our desktop PC... however I just upgraded through AT&T to our first iphones for each of us... she is getting the free 3gs and I am getting a 4s... woo hoo!
    My question is, should I set up our Iphones all with the same apple ID or should I create a separate @me IDs for each device (her iphone, my iphone and the ipad)?  There are some apps that we would like to be able to share with the Ipad so we don't have to purchase them again and it would be nice to be able to share items through Icloud through all of the devices... but I am sure my wife and I will want to have some different apps on our phones and have different amounts songs, different contacts, pictures and other data... Is it possible to have all of the differentiation within one apple ID and syncing to the same computer on the same Itunes account?  Do you have step by step directions on how to do this or can you point me in the direction of some?  I have been searching and searching online and can not find a good answer... What do you recommend? 
    Please let me know if you need more information on our situation to help you give the best answer... thanks for your help!

    Gottcha... so we will still use the same apple id for setting up nd acivating the phones and downloading apps and such through itunes, but I should create a different @me ID for my wife's iphone, my iphone and our Ipad when setting up icloud?
    So if I take a picture on my iphone, can I then see it on the ipad since it will be on a different @me ID?  Or could my wife see it on her phone?  Or does everyone have to be logged in to the same ID to see and share items?

    If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
    If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

  • A Special Printer You Recommend to Go with my G5?

    Hi,
    I have a HP PSC 950 that's about 2 years old. It's been a very good printer until I got my Mac a few months ago. (I'm a former PC user) I've tried everything and the only thing that works when it basically just stops functioning completely, is to shut it down, with the computer, and maybe it will start printing again when I turn it back on.
    It's driving me crazy and really slowing me down. I'm ready to chuck it and start over. Is there a good ink-jet that is especially compatible with my G5 that you can recommend?
    Thanks,
    Jennifer

    Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions!
    You will continue to hear different opinions here, where thoughts range everywhere between "anti-virus software is the evil spawn of Satan" to "anyone not running anti-virus software is a fool."
    Truth is, this is still a very personal decision on a Mac. Depending on circumstances, it is still very easily possible to stay safe without using anti-virus software, but circumstances and personal preferences vary widely. Besides which, anti-virus software cannot even remotely provide you a guarantee of protection!
    To learn how to stay safe (with or without anti-virus software), and how to decide whether to use anti-virus software, see my Mac Malware Guide.
