I have elements 10 and lightroom 3. Is there an advantage to using one rather the other to organize?

Both lightroom 3 and photoshop elements 10 have well developed organizing schemes and associated interfaces. I am new to both programs and am not sure whether to go with one or both and if one - which one?. I am tempted to use lightroom 3's tools and ignore elements' scheme. What, if anything, would I be losing. Is this topic discussed anywhere?

In my opinion, there is never a good reason to use two organizing programs simultaneously, as this just causes extra work, confusion and disorganization.
So, if you have to pick one, I would strongly recommend using Lightroom as Organizer and Editor, and PSE as auxiliary editor. Lightroom's Library Module provides a much nicer workflow than the PSE Editor, has a nicer interface and (very importantly) has dramatically fewer bugs.
What would you be losing by select Lightroom3 over PSE10? You would be losing the major bugs in the PSE Organizer. However, you would also lose the ability to do face tagging in PSE (but even if you wanted to have that feature, in my opinion its just not worth it because of the advantages of LR in workflow) and you would be losing PSE's ability to make "creations", like photobooks. And that's about it, as far as I know.

That camera model is too new for your programs. Every camera has its own raw format and ACR must be updated to include the info for each new model as it comes out. The workaround would be to download the free Adobe DNG converter and use that to convert your ORFs to DNGs that your version of Camera Raw can read.

Hello,
see >>> http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html here >>> How many computers can I install on
I quote: You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.
Good luck!

Hi,
I would recommend you to use 0FI_AP_4 rather using both, particularly for many reasons -
1. DS: 0FI_AP_4 replaces DataSource 0FI_AP_3 and still uses the same extraction structure. For more details refer to the OSS note 410797.
2. You can run the 0FI_AP_4 independent of any other FI datasources like 0FI_AR_4 and 0FI_GL_4 or even 0FI_GL_14. For more details refer to the OSS note: 551044.
3. Map the 0FI_AP_4 to DSO: 0FIAP_O03 (or create a Z one as per your requirement).
4. Load the same to a InfoCube (0FIAP_C03).
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

I have Elements 11 (and Lightroom). I just bot a SONY RX100-II camera.

I tried to load the photos shot in RAW, but nada. I need to know how to get the program I need so that I can use Elements 11 and Lightroom with this camera, shooitng in RAW. Am leaving for Cuba in 5 days.
[email protected]

If you update to the latest lightroom 5.2, that should open the Sony RX100-II files.
Unfortunatly pse11 can only use up to camera raw 7.4 and your files require camera raw 8.2
Photoshop elements 12 is able to update to camera raw 8.2 though.

HT5622 facetime not connecting to all devices that use the same apple id. I have both an iphone and ipad. Incomin facetime calls connect randomly to one or the other or both. (should be coming to both)

I have an iPad and an iPhone, both registered to same AppleID. Incoming Face time calls ring randomly on one or the other or both (and sometimes none). They should ring on both.

check the 'recieve at' addresses you set in settings, facetime. you can have multiple addresses.
On mine, i have thre addresses set the same. I am using both a phone # and my e mail address (neither one is my apple ID, by the way).
If somebody calls me to FT using the phone #, the phone rings first, followed by the pad, about 10 sec later. If they call using the e mail address, they both ring at about the same time. If one or the other answers, the other device stops ringing.
So next time a call comes, wait a bit before answering to see if the other device responds. and check your receive at addresses.
You might want to test a little - have somebody call using one address, or the other, and see if you can track the behavior.

HT202157 is it possible to connect an Apple TV and a Roku to your tv without first disconnecting one or the other?

Is it possible to connect both an Apple TV and Roku without first disconnecting one or the other. In other words, connecting both devices to the tv simultaneously? I'm sure it depends on the number of ports, audio/tv available, and if so, do they make a splitter that would accomodate this???

Hi. Got to App Store and download the Remote app. It's an app that makes your iPad or iPhone a remote for the Apple TV! I like it especially if you need to type a lot text.

HT4910 Have two phones with same apple id as I got one for my hubbie .he tried to back up his numbers in I cloud . Our contacts have now merged and neither can delete from our phone without it coming off the other . Any ideas how we can stop this

Have two iPhones with the same id as I got hubbie one in week and when I got it they asked for email address so I gave the one we use, so when my husband started phone up he just put my password in. When he tried to back his numbers on iCloud they all appeared on my phone and now I can't delete his numbers without them deleting on his phone as well . Any help would be appreciated.

You'll have to migrate one of the phones to a different account, then delete the other person's data from each account (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't from each account.

I have 2 iphones and when i send a text message it shows up on the other iphone. How do i change this

I have 2 iphones and when i send a text message, it shows on the other iphone. How do i change this?

Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both of your phones; or
If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address on one of your devices, on the other phone tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a different Apple ID (so both phones are using a different Apple ID for iMessage). Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores. It does not need to be the same as the ID you are using for iMessage, FaceTime and other services.

Elements 13 and Lightroom 4

What, if any, problems should I expect with compatibility of Elements 13 and Lightroom 4? (I have not previously used Lightroom. And I plan to upgrade from Elements 10 to Elements 13.) I will be using Apple's Yosemite. Thanks very much.

Thanks very much.
My tentative plan has been to do as you suggest in the second section of your reply — to use the Lightroom Library Module and Develop Module and then use other editors when I need more features than in the Develop Module.
My original post was prompted by concern that because Lightroom 4 is older than PSE13, there might be some problem in using PSE13 as an external editor in Lightroom 4.
Respectfully and with thanks,
Stu

Elements 9 and Lightroom 4

I am considering using Lightroom 4 in conjuction with my current elements 9. Some comment no problem - fully compatible while others
comment the way photos are loaded into elements 9 will not necessarily show all the edits made in lightroom 4. Also, if you use the 2012 system on your raw files they are not compatible with the ACR version in elements and the changes will look wrong. Is there value in these views.
Do I keep with elements 9 and get lightroom 3 or get elements 10 and lightroom 4. Any advice would be appreciated

I'm not sure about compatibility with Elements 9. But IF ACR isn't fully compatible with Lightroom 4 then you can have Lightroom render a TIF file that includes all of the Lightroom adjustments and then open that in Elements. It works seamlessly. Even if Lightroom and Elements 9 were fully compatible, once you make changes in Elements a TIF or PSD file has to be created anyway. So you can work with Lightroom 4 and be completely productive with it.

Does Photoshop CS5, Elements 8 and Lightroom 3 support Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition?

Does Photoshop CS5, Elements 8 and Lightroom 3 support Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition? Any issue installing these products on a new PC when I already have it installed on another PC? I am getting a new PC to replace XP machine I already have.

Yes, Photoshop runs on all editions of Windows 7 as far as I know.
And the Photoshop EULA does give you the option to install and activate the software on a second machine. Once you no longer need the XP system, assuming it's still functional, just deactivate the Adobe software on it and you'll be able to have the same flexibility again in the future.
If ever you have a licensing agreement question, all the EULAs are online here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/
A side note: Windows Home Premium may do all you need for now, but keep in mind there is a Windows Anytime Upgrade you can buy in the future that will allow you to move up to a higher edition of Windows 7 later if you should feel you need more features.
This page has some information on that, and also describes the edition differences pretty thoroughly. I especially like the nice table they've built:

Recommendation Needed Re: Elements 8 and Lightroom V.1 & V.3 Beta

I have ~150+ files on my hard drive holding 250+ photo's each with additional sub -sub categories below that. I have not used keywords to date and admit I now have a mess on my hands, unable to locate what is needed. I have Lightroom v.1 now but have never really used the program (shame on me). I have Elements 7 and intend on getting v.8. I will be purchasing LR V.3 when released as I am under the impression if I work with V.3 Beta, I may not be able to transfer my work to V.3 when released, so here are my questions. (1) Is my last statement true? (21) Should I add keywords in Elements or Lightroom? (2) If in LR, should I do it in LR v.1; v.3 Beta or wait until the final version of LR v.3? (3) is it easier to add key words in Elements or LR?
My goal is to do it in the most expedious manner and would really like to start digging myself out of my 'self made' hole right away. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

In my opinion, I would use LR3b if keywording is your main activity before purchasing LR3 in a couple months. Support for PSE catalogs has been spotty in LR.
The LR3B release notes say it will be able to read LR1, LR2, and LR3b catalogs, so perhaps any of those versions' keywords would come across.
Of course if LR3 has some innovation in keywording hat people have been requesting, you might wish you would have waited.
If you want to experiment with the current keyword-import capabilities between Elements and LR2, then you can download an dinstall the LR2 trial, with the understanding it'll expire in 30 days.
PSE8 came out way after LR2 so I doubt LR2 can import PSE8 catalogs, but if LR2 cannot import PSE7 catalogs, then I wouldn't expect LR3 would be that much better, but who knows.
If your photos are all JPGs and PSE can write keywords inot the JPGs, then that is a different story from LR importing a PSE catalog, directly. You have some experimentation to do. You could even try to see what LR3b does with PSE7 JPGs with embedded keywords.

I have elements 10 and lightroom 3. Is there an advantage to using one rather the other to organize?
