I don't know what to order. I want PS for photo editing and some composting. I don't do any website work or sharing yet. I have been using elements for a few years and also have Lightroom 5 on my desktop. I don't want to spend $1000s for a bunch of stuff I don't use. Any advice on what to buy?

Well, there is a whole world of free or affordable software out there like GIMP, PDPaint and similar. Otherwise if you want to stick with Adobe stuff signing up for the CC photography program would be the most cost-efficient way...

  • What is best for me. I have been using Elements for many years (since Elements 2) and now want to but either 13 or Lightroom. Can anyone help me decide

    I have been using Elements for many years (since elements 2) and now want to upgrade. I am reasonably old and at this stage do not understand Creative Cloud. Am I best to upgrade to Elements 13 or try Light room 5?

    Do you want to make a one time purchase (Photoshop Elements) or pay monthly rent ($9.99 per month for Photoshop and Lightroom)
    Do be aware that the subscription model is just like rent... stop paying and the programs stop working... but you get the full Photoshop

  • I have been using Elements 12 without a problem for 9 months.  Now when I try to open the program, I get an error message  "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 quit unexpectedly" and it will not open at all.  What can I do to open the program?

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

    i have been using an iPhone 4 till date and now migrated to a iPhone 4s.The contacts are not copied in total from the other phone what should i do

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Please try the following…
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • I don't know what has happened but I can't open iPhoto. When I try to open it I receive a caution "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." How do I solve this??!!

    I don't know what has happened but I now can't open iphoto. I get a caution when I try which says the iphoto library is locked! It was working perfectly fine this afternoon until I tried to upload some photos from my camera and my computer started to run very slow and wasn't recognising my camera. I tried to quit iphoto and then when I came back in to it, this was the message I received. As far as I am aware I didn't alter any settings or put on any locks. Please help!!

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • HT204053 Have been using a friends apple ID but now I have my own! How do I change it?

    Have been using a friends apple ID but now have my own. How do I make mine the primary ID. On iPhone 3?

    If you're talking about the ID for iCloud, you'll need to set up a new iCloud account with your new ID (since the other one belongs to your friend), then migrate your data to the new account.  To do this, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  After everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up a new iCloud account with your new ID, then turn syncing your data with iCloud back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    If you're talking about changing the ID for purchasing, go to Settings>Store, tap the ID at the bottom, sign out, sign back in with your new ID.

  • I have been using Adobe/Aldus software since 1987 and in that time one thing has remained constant.

    The inability of Abode to answer the phone - at the time of writing I have been waiting twenty minutes - and on the rare occasions when they do, I rarely get a sensible response.   It should by so simple:
    Me: "We are one of the UK's leading book and Magazine publishers.   We are thinking of entering the e-book market and want to know if Adobe do any software for this?"
    Adobe: (answering the phone immediately it starts to ring). "Certainly, sir.   You want our xyz ebook CS455"
    Me: "Thank you so much.   I'll have 150 copies."
    The reality is that after half an hour a voice said hello and, before I could introduce myself, added "I am putting you through"   To whom or why, I am to know.
    Little wonder there is a recession.

    I'm equally as annoyed with Adobe.
    I work for a large Design Consultancy and we have recently subscribed to DPS software. I'm looking to cancel this and switch to Creative Cloud making use of the single edition DPS. I've been trying to find out if all of my folios will still be visable or if they will vanish to shared users if I cancel my DPS subscription. It is essential that I'm sure how this works before I proceed.
    I've called Adobe on several occasions. Once getting through (usually after 20-30mins) I get transfered to the technical team and after another 20 mins or so I give up! I've logged call backs on the Adobe website and nothing.
    Utterly useless.

  • I have been using flash player to watch foxnews and it has recently started reseting the volume to 0

    I have been watching fox news .com using flash player and the web site is set for auto play. As it advances to the next news story the volume keeps being reset to zero at the start of each segment. This is very annoying since I must turn the volume up on the adobe control panel before I can hear the segment. Is this intentional or can it be fixed?

    Okay, That's NOT in Flash Player but in the web page. It's read and displayed by Flash Player, but the code for it is embedded in the page as part of the video, the "minimum volume setting" could be a "cached" setting in your browser. Try clearing your cache and history, but there ISN'T any setting in your Flash Player plugin that can change or set volume for websites.
