Is Lightroom a useful addition to Elements 13?

I've just upgraded from PSE10 to 13 - very happy with my purchase so far.  One of the next tasks on my agenda is to scan a load of old photos and 35mm slides.  Would Lightroom be a useful addition to PSE13 for it's batch editing capabilities, whilst keeping PSE for slightly more intricate editing of individual photos?

At work a couple of years ago, I scanned thousands of slides. I didn't use Lightroom as my scanning software, but I did use Lightroom to make all the corrections to them. It was fast and smooth.
But since you haven't used Lightroom previously (I assume) you had better understand how Lightroom works. All the adjustments you make in Lightroom are stored in the catalog and not applied directly to the master images unless you force that to happen. In its default state, Lightroom leaves the images untouched. You export copies from Lightroom to share with others. I'm not telling you this to frighten you from using Lightroom.. I really appreciated having Lightroom for the project that I did. Just make sure you understand Lightroom before you proceed too far into the project.

  • After changing my mac mini 2009 with a mac mini late 2012, and using Time machine for the reinstallation, Lightroom is operational but Photoshop elements is said to have a license no more valid (code error 150:30). I tried all solution I found to no avail

    After changing my computer from a mac mini 2009 to a late 2012 version, all reloaded with Time machine, Lightroom works fine but Photoshop elements refuses to start (error code 150:30; "license no more valid"...). No solution found on the internet works. Any advice ? possibility to reload the application (I have kept the number of license etc.) ? Thanks in advance to anyone who could help.

    Alain Picard this error often occurs due to incorrect file permissions or corruption of licensing data during the Time Machine restore.  What version of Photoshop Elements were you using?  I would recommend that you remove and reinstall it using the uninstaller located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.

  • I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 - can I add an additional .icc file

    I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 - can I add an additional .icc file to 'convert to profile' so that when I send my photos off for printing, they come back exactly as they appear on my screen.  If not, how do I get them printed properly?
    thanks

  • Integration between Lightroom 4.2 and PS Elements 11.0

    I am using Lightroom 4.2 and PS Elements 11.0. Clicking "Edit in" in LR  when I have selected at least two photos, I get as bottom menu item "Open as layers in Photoshop...". When selecting this item PS Elem. nicely starts up but after waiting for a while no layers are created. Same applies to the HDR and Panorama options. The only LR menu item working is the one moving to the PS Elem editor sec. After carrying out editing of the file(s) in PS Elem and saving (as) there is only the option to include the edited file in the PS Elem catalog (while the version set option is "greyed out"). In the normal Photoshop (CS versions) the edited file is nicely included in the LR catalog. I now have to follow a cumbersome route by importing the file from within LR. Another issue is when 16 bit files are loaded into Elements; there is no warning that layers can only be generated/worked on  in 8 bit mode.
    Yet another, small LR issue, is that when in library mode moving from the center thumbnail grid/pane to the left Navigator, etc and right Histogram, etc. panes, the cursor changes into a double headed arrow passing the separation line and but does not turn back into the cursor (mode). Only moving fast through the separation line or "going over the top" passing along the top menu items helps
    Obviously anyone with some suggestion as how to solve/circumvent the issues above?

    Photoshop Elements does not support layes with 16-bit files. Additionally, there is no HDR function in Photoshop Elements. You should be getting an error letting you know this is the case when you try from Lightroom.
    These menu options are designed to be used with Photoshop, not Photoshop Elements and would normally be greyed out. Have you had a version of Photoshop install previously? When looking at the Edit In menu, what does it say at the top? Does it say "Open in Adobe Photoshop Elements..."?
    Saving the file should automatically import it into Lightroom, even if you use the option to add it to the Elements Organizer as well.
    As for the cursor not changing back to normal after crossing over the panel dividing line (which allows you to grow or shrink the panels) is rather curious.
    All of these issues could be caused by corrupt settings files. Deleting these while the applications are closed will cause them to be recreated at next launch (with default settings). I would suggest doing this will all Adobe preferences (not just PSE and LR). Where they are stored depends on what OS you are working on.

  • Multiple Receiver tag using listTemplateId in Elements.XML - SP2013 EventHandlers

    Hi,
    We have a client requirement in our new SP 2013 site to copy sub site  task items from individual Task lists to a common Custom list in parent site. For that we have created an Event Handler and added the logic for copying the task item to parent site
    list in "itemAdded" event.
    We have given   <Receivers ListTemplateId="171"> in Elements.xml file and it works for normal task lists.
    But it does not seem to work for task lists associated with workflows. 
    Kindly advice whether we can resolve the issue using the same elements.xml by adding additional <Receivers> tags.
    Thanks in advance,
    Nithya k pillai

    You will have to remove workflow on subsite and then activate it on root site once the task is copied.

    Hi,
    It is only necessary when you are trying to reimport the BAPI ....incase your portal is IN SP14 then no problem.
    You can use the ARFC tool to remove the cache

    Try removing the cache from here , or wht you can do ....open the JCO which is used for the MetaData and recreate it. 
    all of them works fine

  • I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for two years. I got a new printer and installed it although I did not remove my old printer from my computer. I used this program and my new printer for quite a few months, but today I deleted my old printer

    I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for along time now. When I first used the program I had a different printer than I have now. Although I changed printers I never removed the software from my old one. Now this was never a problem until today. When I choose a printer I still had option to use the old one but always chose my new HP Envy 5530 and Adobe never had a problem printing from that new printer. However today I decided to remove my old printer from my computer and now my Adobe cannot find my new printer.  How can I make it find the HP printer?

  • How to use the same element in different photoshop files?

    It occurs to me often that I use the same element in different photoshop files, a header or footer shown in the example below. So when the footer changes in one document, I need to change this footer in every other single document.
    Is there a possibility to use some kind of template, one single document,  that can be placed in different files , which is still editable afterwards?
    Thanks in advance.
    I'm using Photoshop CS6

    In a single document you can have several pages and these pages may have headers and footers that share smart objects.  If you replace the contents of the an embedded smart object on one page page that is shared on an other page the pages you will see both pages contents are changed. For they share the common object.   It is also possibly to have independent smart object layers. It depends how you create the layers in the single document.
    Example one sharing a smart object hi-light a smart object layer and use menu layer>Duplicate Layer... This will create a second smart object layer that share a common smart object. Each layer has is own associated transform. Do it again and you will have three layers the share a common smart object. So you can use each layer associated transform to position and size the layers contents. Make a picture package for example. When you hi-light any of the three smart layers and you use menu Layer>Smart Objects>Replace Contents... all three layers contents will be replace with the new smart object.  Care must be taken to replace the smart object with an identical size object for only the object is replaced the three associated transform for the three layers are not replaced or changed.
    Example two independent smart objects  hi-light a smart object layer and use menu layer>Smart Objects>New Smart Object via Copy.  This will  create a second smart object layer that has it own embedded smart object copy.  Do it again and you will have three all have independent embedded smart object that are identical.  However they do not have to remain identical.  For example if the first smart object layer was created by using ACR to open a RAW file as a smart object layer the embedded object is a copy of the raw file and its associated RAW conversion settings.  Double clicking on one of the smart object layers and you will see ACR open on its embedded RAW file with the embedded RAW conversion setting.  Changing these settings will update the layer smart object content with new ACR setting and pixel when you click OK in ACR. Repeat for the third and you will find you have three different raw conversions in Photoshop you can mask and blend together to bring out detail.
    I think what your missing is that a smart object contains a copy of the original object.  Changing the original after creating a smart object layer in document will not effect the smart object layer at all. Its independant from the original having a copy of the original. Only changes to the smart object layer and its embedded smart object effect smart object layers.

  • Error while using '*'in the NTE (EDI 850) Segment where '*' is also used as Data Element

    Hi All,
    I am facing below mentioned error while using '*'in the NTE (EDI 850) Segment where '*' is also used as Data Element
    Error: 1 (Field level error)
      SegmentID: NTE
      Position in TS: 70
      Data Element ID: NTE02
      Position in Segment: 2
      Data Value:
      3: Too many data elements
    For Eg: NTE*GEN*My Text *goes here
    Here, NTE02 should be My Text *goes here. So, how can I use "*" here without changing anything in the EDI message?
    Can it be done?
    Thanks.

    Sorry, no.
    X12 does not support an escape character so whatever is used for delimiters become reserved characters.
    If you want to allow '*' in the data, you will have to chooser a different Element delimiter.  The receiver should read the from this from the ISA Segment so it's supposed to be dynamic but that's not always the case in practice.

    Open Pictures folder and move the files named lrcat-journal and lrcat.lock to Desktop.
    Make sure that , they are not inside Pictures folder any more and try to open backup from Lighrtroom and check..
    Any LRcat file with .lock extension , move it to Desktop.

  • Can I configure Lightroom to use all my cores in case of actions like imports?

    Hi!
    I've a CPU with four cores and also enabled hyperthreading.
    But if I do an import by Lightroom it uses at best 25 % of my overall CPU performance.
    If it would start many low prio threads, it would speed up my import a lot, as I've import very often 2,000 up to 8,000 pictures.
    In my case it could speed up the process by factor 4. And that would be great, as also an Intel i7 with 3.4 GHz has a lot of work to do, so the import of 2,000 images takes in my case perhaps 15 or 20 minutes. I did not watch the time.
    Is there any chance, to tell Lightroom to use more threads and spread them over all the (virtual) CPUs?
    Best Regards

    Hi
    My system is only occupied by ~20% during regeneration of previews. Also my harddrive has not much work to do (~2 MB/s by Lightroom, ~10 MB/s in total; but only in case of maximum peak; the average is less then 10 MB/s). And only 6 GB in total and less then 3 GB by Lightroom of my 24 GB RAM are used. So my system has much more power, than Lightroom want to use.
    So there is really a way to improve the performance...

    I  have a new Mac Pro computer and have migrated my files from my older computer to the new computer. In trying to open a Lightroom catalog on an external hard drive  I keep on getting the message "lightroom cannot use the catalog named " " because it is  not writable and cannot be opened. I have fixed all the "permissions" and yet it will still not open. How do I fix this?

    Hello Forum Members,
    I figured it out. You have to select  the actual logo of the Lightroom catalog and then click on  "get info" and allow what ever your new user name to "read and write". That worked!

  • Using Additional parameters in file receiver

    Hello all,
    I'm trying to use additional parameters the following way:
    In my receiver adapter:
    File Name Scheme : %var%.txt
    Additional Parameters:  
    %var%     |   myvalue
    Checked "Set Adapter Specific Message Attributes" and "FileName" in both sender and receiver adapters.
    XI doen't pay attention to my variable and outputs the file name as is (exactly as the original name).
    Can anyone please help me solve the problem?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    since you are using both variable substitution & Set Adapter Specific Message Attributes, the second one has highest preference. So only Adapter Specific Message Attribute works in this case.
    So use either Variable Substitution (or) Set Adapter Specific Message Attributes according to your scenario requirement.

  • Use of text elements in wirte_form function module.

    Hi guru's,
    Could any one tell me  what is the use of text elements in write_form functional module SAP SCRIPTS. As per my knowledge text elements are used for multi language purpose is there any other advantage other than that.
    Thanks in advance.
    Vardhan.

    Hello.
    A text element is a block in script that can be written several times in your document. You can put fixed texts, variables, include texts, images, etc etc
    When you see WRITE_FORM, element 'X', you know that everything that is inside element /E X of your script is writen. It's very usefful to organize your script, and it eases to construct a very complex script.
    It's also usefull to translations in SE63.
    Best regards.
