I need to get away from iphoto.   I use pixelmator for editing almost exclusively.  I have a Sony disc hx200v camera and a Kodak.   I will need to know if my cameras (on mac) will be seamlessly supported and how to get all my existing photos safely to lig

I have several questions.   iPhoto does not meet my needs.    I would use lightroom mainly for organization and downloading photos from my camera cards.   My cameras are Sony disc-hx200v and a little Kodak  I will need to know if they are fine with light room.  Also I use pixelmator for photo editing and likely will use iskysoft dvd maker for mac to create my dvds once edited.      I am desperate to find a way to make my work flow work.   i.e.   I need to get photos somewhere on my mac,  in this case it would be lightroom then I need to edit them in lightroom and pixelmator,  then be able to get that  album/slideshow/folder whatever you call it Into the dvd maker to voiceover and finish the project.      It looks like aperture would have been more to my taste but they are
also taking that away.   Yeah!  Go Apple.   About all I will have left of use is an operating system and mail.     Will appreciate any help.  I am 73 and doing dvd's for Amazon so I really can't afford any more programs that are snatched away and learning curves that change every 6 months. 

Are you shooting in raw or jpeg?
I’m not sure there is raw support for your Sony model and you don’t say which Kodak you have. But for jpegs Lightroom will normally work.
For your existing photos it would usually be necessary to export versions to the desktop or create new folders in Finder. Those duplicates will contain the editing adjustments you have already made and can be imported into Lightroom using “Add” in the import dialog.
I would suggest you download Lightroom and use it free for 30 days. You can then test it to ensure it meets your needs. You can download from this link:

  • Somehow Yahoo has "adopted" my firefox, and I can't get away from it. can you tell me how to remove it?

    suddenly when I click on firefox, it comes up with Yahoo as an overlay. Says Yahoo on top right, and the first window is now yahoo instead of my own home page and I can't get away from it. how do I remove yahoo?

    First thing to do is to install this extension.
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    It will "do its thing" automatically, then remove itself after a Firefox restart.
    Then if that Yahoo homepage comes back after a Firefox restart or a Windows boot or restart, see us for further "fixes"; ''BTW, Firefox does come with a Yahoo search engine.''
    It depends upon what Malware was installed and how deeply.

  • HT201317 i have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through.  How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?

    I have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through.  How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?

    This usually happens because iCloud only keeps photo stream photos for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your phone until deleted).  When you enabled photo stream on your Mac you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
    To get older photos to your Mac, create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).  The be sure you check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream.  You can then import them to your iPhoto library by opening the shared photo stream album in iPhoto, then going to Edit>Select All, Control-clicking on any of the selected photos and selecting Import.

  • How can I make firefox work wisth a windows xp computer? I don't have an address bar , a backup key. I can get away from the firefox add-on screen. It is basically inoperable

    After installing the new version of Firefox on an Windows xp computer I cannot use the internet. There is no address bar for entering a URL, there's not back up arrow, I can't get away from the Firefox add-on screne.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    *Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
    *If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

  • I am considering buying a MBA but i need to do word processing, making power point presentations, and also to use publisher for work, does the MBA have the ability to do these things, if so will I be able to continue with work done on a MBA with a PC?

    I am considering buying a mac book air and I was wondering if I can still do word processing, make powerpoint presentations and use publisher like i would on a PC? Also if I can then would I be able to continue with work done on the mac book on a PC and all the computers at school are not macs ? 

    I am using the 11" MBA with Office 2011 (with latest updates).  The form factor is great for travel.
    Powerpoint presentations work well, but there are some issues with creating a presentation under OSX then continuing editing under Windows (Powerpoint 2010).  I've experienced problems with custom backgrounds not rendering correctly while editing slides under Windows when the original presentation was created under OSX.  If you stick with the "standard" themes I imagine you'll be OK.
    Also, there is a major drawback in that there is no IR port on the new MBA(s).  Therefore, you cannot use an Apple Remote to control a slide show.  Yes, there is an app for the iPhone that can control a Keynote slide presentation using Bluetooth, but since I haven't tried it, I cannot say if that app will work for Mac Powerpoint 2011.
    What is really needed is an "Apple Bluetooth Remote".  (please, if anyone from Apple is listening...)
    Your only option to run Publisher is to run Windows in a virtual machine (e.g. Fusion or Parallels) with Publisher installed as there is no Mac version.
    I run Fusion with Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 configured as a workstation and Office 2010 as my main travel machine and it is very responsive.  Even using Windows Aero Theme which is knowned to be graphics intensive.

  • How do i get data from a structure using join?

    hi,
    what is the actual use of a structure.?
    my problem is :
    KUAGV is an existing STRUCTURE. it has got one fields each which links to MARA, AND VBKD tables. i want to fetch all related information from KUAGV, mara, vbkd . which is the better way : using joins or views or anything else? how do i
    get data from a structure using join?

    structure temporarily holds  any data passed to it dynamically throughout the runtime but doesnot store it permanently. so
    a structure cannot be included in a join.so instead of incuding structure KUAGV's field in a join 
    search the transparent table in which same field are present and  use it in join.
    A structure if created in DDIC(Data Dictionary) is a global DATA STRUCTURE which is used to group related information, for example you would group all the details of your bank account into a structure BANK_ACCOUNT that contains fields like account_Id, account_holder_name etc.
    If you create a structure in your program then it is local to your program. So you use this structure to create data holders of this DATA TYPE to hold data in your program.

  • When you want to get away from programming Java...

    Wow, what week, Just curious to know, what do others do to wind-down or get away from programming? PC Games, reading, outdoor stuff? Myself, I am interested in purchasing either NeverWinter Nights or WarCraft III as another way to make "computers fun" again...
    (Plus, any PC Game suggestions are welcomed.)
