LightRoom 3 software

I am American guy living in Japan. I have a Mac Pro from Apple here in Japan. I am looking to buy LR 3 from a retailer in USA and have it shipped to me here in Japan. I would think there would be no issue with the software working properly on my computer, but Adobe Customer Service says that my Mac Pro`s UI won`t work with the USA software, though I have never really heard or or seen this to be true.
Does anyone have any direct experience with this issue?
Mainly, I don`t want to go thru all the hoops of getting the software and for $300 then be told I can`t return it or something.

I think that the default when LR installs is to use the local language definition.  We've had at least one person complain that they wanted LR to be in english, but the machine (and they) were normally in German.  It turned out to be a big hassle.
But if your machine is normally in English, it really shouldn't be a problem...
As the previous poster said, download the trial version.  After all, the only difference between the trial and the real one is entering the serial number.  So if the trial works, buy the one from the retailer, and then just enter the serial number when you get it. Done!
Cheers!

  • I need to retouch images of silver jewelry, is lightroom the software that can help me?

    I need to retouch images of silver jewelry, is lightroom the software that can help me?

    It depends on what “retouching” means.  If you mean doing image-wide adjustments making things brighter and darker or changing the color-cast across the entire image then LR is ok for that.  If it is about changing smaller areas of pixels, colorizing or cloning in other details, otherwise pushing pixels around, which is what I’d call retouching, then that’s a Photoshop operation.

  • Lightroom 5 software on disc, but I've no disc drive!

    I bought a Canon 5Diii recently and with it came with Lightroom 5 software on a disc (the main reason I bought the camera from Calumet in particular). However I work with the new mac which doesn't have a disc drive. I'm reluctant to buy one just for this job. Does anybody know if I can download the software online from adobe instead? I have registered the software to my name (using the serial number on the disc) on the adobe site, thinking that might allow me to download online, but I can't see any option to do so. I have a laptop with a disc drive which I could put the software onto and then try transferring it to my mac via a external hard drive perhaps?

  • Images not opening for edits in Photoshop from Lightroom all software is updated

    I am working on  a MacBook Pro and today after making basic edits in Lightroom 5.+ the images won't then open in Photoshop to edit there.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Charles

    Geoff, I am using the very latest CC version of Lightroom 5.7 and Photoshop v 2014.2.2 running in 64bit mode, on a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion OS 10.8.5. I used it yesterday morning and things worked fine but in the afternoon, I created a new catalog for a project I was working on. The first image everything worked as normal. I mad some basic White Balance corrections, along with contrast adjustments then take the images into Photoshop to remove the backgrounds but going to the menu item Edit in Photosho. If photoshop is down, it opens the software but the images don't transfer into Photoshop to work on. I rebooted Lightroom and Photoshop a couple of times with no effect still the same problem. I rebooted the computer twice and still no changes in the way it was responding. This morning as I begin to write this, I opened Lightroom and now even the catalog is missing along with most of the ones I have created. I did open an old one and it now works as it should so I will try to recreate the project from yesterday but it is now saying that Lightroom can't save to that Hard drive.  I will reboot the external hard drive now to see if that will solve that problem. This has happened in the past when using Photoshop when I am trying to save an image but never like this? Most of the time rebooting will solve that kind of issue so I will try that now. Just not sure what might be causing that to happen either?
    Thank you for your help,

  • My OS version (10.6.8) your LIGHTROOM 5 software with at least OS 10.9.

    Good Morning,
    I bought Lightroom 5 before to see my OS version (10.6.8).
    Unfortunately I cannot install it because I've seen after your software need OS 10.9. Could you please tell me how can I install and use it or if you get my money back because it's impossible to use it ?
    Many thanks for your quickfeed back in my matter.

    You are not talking to Adobe employees here.  We are all Lightroom users. If you cannot upgrade your operating system then you will have to contact Adobe customer service in order to come to a settlement agreement. I could Google to find that number, but so can you.

  • How to register Lightroom from software?

    I purchased Adobe Lightroom 4 on 10/31/12 from the Apple Mac App Store.  I have been using the software alongside Adobe Photoshop CS6 for the past two years.  My MacBook needs to be set back to its original factory settings and I wasn't sure how to get the two Adobe programs back onto the computer once I reset it.  I contacted Adobe and they only see that I have purchased Photoshop CS6 with my member name.  I purchased Photoshop CS6 and downloaded it from Adobe's website.  I told them that I purchased Lightroom and downloaded it from Apple's Mac App store.  I even went back into my email history and found the iTunes receipt that shows the purchase with the order number from Apple.  I figure that I may not have registered the software and that may be why my member account with Adobe doesn't show I purchased Lightroom?  If this is the case, is there a way I can go about registering Adobe Lightroom 4 directly from the software itself?  Thanks.

  • Can I install/register Lightroom 5 software disk after June 30?

    I wasn't sure if there was a cut-off date for installing boxed software. I'm not getting my new computer until mid-July and have the unopened software. Wasn't sure if everything moves to the cloud after June 30. I don't want to get stuck.

    Hi flchris
    I believe you can install your boxed software anytime !

  • Using original downloaded lightroom software after creative cloud trial

    I originally paid for the lightroom 5 software, but after doing adobe's free creative cloud trial, I can't get back to using my original lightroom software, and my develop module is disabled. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

    The normal reason for the Develope module being disabled is because a trial period of the software has expired, and it's possible your computer is confusing the end of the CC trial with the use of a perpetual copy of Lr.
    The best way to solve this is to uninstall and then  reinstall your perpetual copy of Lr, assuming you haven't tried this already.

  • Lightroom 5 to CC problems

    My computer crashed and I rebuilt my Motherboard, CPU and Graphics card. My old system had Lightroom 5 and before I cleared my C drive, I backed up all my photos and Lightroom Catalogs.
    After the rebuild, since I bought the Lightroom 5 online, I didn't have a disc. I went to the adobe website and downloaded lightroom thinking then I would put in my authorization code and I would then have my software again. I then opened Lightroom CC and waited for the prompt to put in my code. In the meantime, it tried to open my catalog and asked to update my catalog. My mistake is I just clicked ok. Following this, I realized that with the CC software, I would not be able to put in my authorization code and what I needed to do is log into my adobe account and download it from my previous purchases. Something I didn't know.
    After finally getting up and running with Lightroom 5, I now cannot see any of my photos. It says that the catalog is too new to open on Lightroom 5 software. What can be done about this?? Did I just screw up all my photos!
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Zach

    LR 5 can't read the LR CC catalog.
    When you installed CC, it made a copy of your LR 5 catalog, in the same folder.
    So use File > Open, and point LR 5 to the old catalog.

  • Lightroom on a PC and Mac

    Does the licensing allow you to do one install on a PC and another install on a Mac? I thought it was supposed to be dual platform, but just got off the phone with Adobe and was told that while the disk will install on either platform, you have to choose one licensing, so you can't have it installed on the 2 different operating systems.
    Is this true? If I were to migrate to a Mac, I couldn't have Ligtroom installed on the MAc and a second install on a PC laptop?

    From the LR FAQ at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshoplightroom/productinfo/faq/
    >How many computers are covered by a single license of Photoshop Lightroom 1.1?
    > Subject to the terms of the End User Licensing Agreement, the primary user of the computer on which Photohop Lightroom (the Software) is installed may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable computer or a computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home computer is not used at the same time as the Software on the primary computer. You may be required to contact Adobe in order to make a second copy. Photoshop Lightroom is sold as multi-platform software, which means it can be installed on either Mac OS X or Windows.
    Which in this Forum has been always taken to mean that you can have one PC and one Mac version, the same serial number will work on both. In fact you can switch from two PCs to two Macs (if you are so inclined) with the same Serial number.

  • Lightroom 4 on Windows 7 & 8

    I just received Lightroom 4 software in the mail.  Will this version work on both Windows 7 &  8?  Many thanks.

    Yes, but it would be worth going straight to 4.2 http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5488 and then just entering your serial number, rather than installing from the cd and then having to update.  It's the same result either way - just quicker to go straight to 4.2
