Lightroom 2.6 trial download - how to build a catalog from scratch.

I have downloaded Lightroom 2.6 trial version and am trying to build a small catalog for it. I don't need my whole Photoshop Elements 8 (PSE 8) catalog, but I would like to build a small catalog out of images in the My Pictures folder so that I can experiment with this software. It recognizes the existence of my old PSE 6 catalog, but says it is corrupt and ask about building a new catalog. It will not recognize my PSE 8 catalog. How do I go about bypassing this "catalog recognition step" and go right to that part of the software that will let me build a catalog from the images contained in various folders in the My Pictures main folder. Unless I can get to the part where I can build a catalog to test out LR 2.6, then I am stuffed (as the Aussies would say) as far as testing this product. Maybe I need to download the Lightroom 3 Beta and see if it will recognize my PSE 8 catalog. Any suggestions, insight on how to resolve this dilemma are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

When I bring up LR, it asks me if I want to buy or try...so to speak, I check off <try> and the <Next> and <Back> buttons are immediately greyed out and the only thing I can do is click on <Finish> or <Cancel>. If I click on <Finish>, It tells me that "the Lightroom catalog named "catalog" cannot be opened because it is not valid. Would you like to select a different catalog". The catalog is not registered as a valid catalog." It tells me where this invalid catalog is and then I have a choice of buttons that ask me to "choose a different catalog" or another button that says "Exit". If I select "choose a different catalog, then it asks for a location and gives me a button that says "Create a new catalog", it then goes to the My Pictures folder inside a panel that has at the top "Create folder with New Catalog" and then I don't seem to be able to do anything it likes. I never get to a menu that gives me the "File/New Catalog" option.(???)
Maybe I need to uninstall and reinstall LR2.6.

WesternGuy

Build a menu from scratch in Premiere Elements?

Is there a way to build a menu from scratch in Premiere Elements, i.e. not use the templates? I want a very simple menu on ONE screen, no sub-menus, etc., and all the templates I try end up creating multiple pages of menus just for the FOUR menu markers in my timeline!
Alternatively, how do I delete multiple pages of a menu, when I have only FOUR menu items and want them all on ONE menu page?
Thank you very much for your help.

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
You cannot create your own movie menu from scratch using Premiere Elements. The movie menu theme traces back to a main menu psd file and a scene menu psd file and assets. It is the .psd files that need to be created in Photoshop CS or higher because of the essential Layer Sets within the Layers Palette of the .psd file. (There may be other .psd editors that can do this if the can handle Layer Sets and SubLayer Sets, but Photoshop CS or higher will do the job.)
It is often easier to customize the Adobe existing themes at the .psd level than to create them from scratch. Success in this task depends of strict adherence to naming and structural details for creating these menus.
I have done and written a lot about this topic. If interested, please see

How to build tag cloud from text document

Hi,
I want to build tag cloud from text documents.
The text dcouments has several lines of sentence.
The tag shows long sentense, not key words.
Please let me know how to build.
And Can I use CAS or text enrichment?
Thank you very much.
SWKO

Hi,
You need to extract salient terms (e.g. people or product names) from your text documents by using the text enrichment or the text tagger component.
This step will generate new attributes, which can be used in your tag cloud.

Advice needed on building first system from scratch...

Ok, here goes, I am so excited, like a kid on Xmas...My goodies from Newegg will be here later today or tomorrow....I recently purchased: A new tower, Antec PSU, 2x512 Corsair pc3200, MSI K7N2 Delta - ILSR and some other assorted crap....
Anyway, I have never built a system from the ground up before...I am looking forward to the challenge....But before I begin I was wondering if I could get some tips?
I already backed up all the files(photos, demos, benchmarks etc...)that I'll be saving...I also made copies of all the drivers I need to set it up when it's done(Nvidia graphics drivers, DX9.0b), I assume the mobo drivers will come with the mobo....I also want to do a fresh install of Windows as well.....Now my main concern is in regards to the order in which everything is done....I have replaced a motherboard before so I have a little knowledge of the inner workings....But never having built one from scratch, I'm a little leary as to the order and how everything should be installed....
I will also be adding my current Vid. card, sound card?(I'm pretty sure the onboard is better?) and HDD.....Windows came installed on my machine when I purchased it so I don't have the Windows CD, but I have made the set of recovery discs that is needed to set it back to factory specs and settings...Have I forgotten anything?...Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks!

Axel, thanks for the link...It was an informative read..
Glenn, I don't have an XP CD...The OS came installed on the computer when I purchased it.....I only have the 6 recovery CD's that I made under "PC RECOVERY TOOLS"...It's an older Compaq...Oh, and it's an AMD xp2400(can be unlocked using the Speed-Strip, currently it's locked because my mobo doesn't support the OC features I so desperately want to play with..Muhahaha ).....Also, I am currently downloading the Nvidia "Unified" driver and SP1....All of a sudden, something I was looking forward to seems like the scariest thing in the world....Will this thing even boot when I get it plugged in? How am I going to install all this crap? Geez, I'm worried now...
Bogs, I will try both on-board and SB Live 5.1....I play a lot of BFV and 1942, I'll see if I can tell if there is a performance and/or increase in sound quality....What tag do you play under? See you on the battlefield!!!
Thanks again for all the replies, Silly
Well first things first, follow my suggestions on the FSB settings until you are sure it's stable and the OS has been loaded and is stable as well before you introduce overclocking to the mix...
I am a bit concerned about your Recovery CD, Most likely it'll puke on you since the motherboard and EVERYTHING except the CPU has changed? Most likely it will halt and tell you it's not a (enter name) PC and cannot continue. Try it and see.
Maybe someone has a way around it and you can discuss that in either Private Messaging or via E-mail. Please keep that little tidbit out of the forums.
bogs dollocks,
Ahhh... think you're right there, however it could have been something completely different...but that's another topic entirely...
It will cause moe headaches than it's worth. Get an OEM copy of Windows. Better yet, borrow someone else's and use your key.

How to Restore a Catalog From Backup

Hi,
PSE8 on Windows7
My drive crashed recently and I had to restore from my backup. The backup was not an Adobe backup but one done using Windows Backup (I also have Carbonite)...I reinstalled PSE8 and then restored the contents of the the USERS folder, but now when I start PSE8 nothing is shown in the Organizer.
Any ideas how to get the catalog back?

Generally immediate backup. Call the shots from. Or daily incremental backups.
This article is in linux, mysql 4.1.14 version of the Nikon D70 Camera Battery next test, after appropriate modifications may be suitable for mysql 4.0,5.0 and other versions.
This did not start replication for the Toshiba Tecra M3 CPU Fan mysql, if you start a copy, you may need to take this backup strategy or need to modify the relevant parameters.
Everyone's backup strategy may be Compaq Presario V2600 Laptop Keyboard different, according to practical situation, learn by analogy, do not copy, may result in unnecessary losses.
I hope you understand what this script to work!

How to protect my iphone from scratched

Do not remove it from the box...
But if you must, and you want no scratches, you will need something like the Otter Box Defender or the LifeProof case.
But they all make the phone much bigger. I use the Otterbox, I like the extra bulk and protection.
Google is your friend, this has been discussed a Zillion times.

How to start collector inventory from scratch

Hi there,
I would like to completely redo collector inventory from scratch by deleting all current devices in collector DB and re-injecting a new list.
How should I proceed?
Thanks,

Hi Nic,
If you mean restart the discovery process, you would do that by unmanaging all devices by going to "Management:->"Unmanage Devices" and the doing discovery. Hope that answers the question
Thanks

Lightroom 4.1 trial download

I am having trouble downloading the trial version of lightroom 4.1 from the website....I hit the download button and nothing happens....can anyone assist?

Julie Anne,
You could try using a different internet browser. (Or if you're using the NoScript addon in Firefox, you could try allowing Adobe.com.)

Can I use one purchase of Acrobat on more than one computer? I work on a desk top, lap top, and netbook. Do I have to purchase multiple copies or what? (PS -- If I start with a free trial download, how long can it be used for?)

How many times can I use Acrobat Pro on my three compters -- the desk top, lap top, the net book. Do I have to make multiple purchases?

Hi markala,
As per the End User License Agreement a single purchase of retail license for Acrobat is good for 2 computers.
If you want to install it on 3 machines you need to procure a volume license.

Entity Frame work for Oracle 11g -how to build a database from Model

Hi ,
I m trying to build a data access layer for using both Sql Server and Oracle(not at the same time). I used Model-first approach for creating the entities and then generate Databse from it.
I came to know from different blogs that oracle and Sql Server generation workflow and DDL generation template are different. Right now my application is supporting for Sql Server, I need to support it for Oracle too.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/issue-archive/2011/11-sep/o51odt-453447.html i m unable to get the Oracle DDl generation template and workflow.
please Let me know,if i missed some thing and what are the changes I need to follow and exact procedure that is reuqired to support Oracle.
Thanks,
ilyas.

Try the Model-First walkthrough in the Oracle EF OBE:
http://download.oracle.com/oll/obe/EntityFrameworkOBE/EntityFrameworkOBE.htm#t4
It provides a more detailed step by step tutorial in generating Oracle DDL from EF.
If you're still having problems, provide a detailed description on what errors you see and what steps you executed. Right now, it's hard to diagnose what the problem could be with so little detail.

How do i stop windows 8.1 from automatically downloading. I have tried to do it and it still keeps popping up. I don't understand some of the computer lingo so can you please respond in plain english what it is i should do on keeping 8.1 from downloading?

Hi,
Are you running Win 8 and don't want to upgrade to Win 8.1?
Please see here for three methods to stop the Win 8.1 upgrade notification.
You will probably need to use methods two or three unless you are running Win 8 Pro.
