Lightroom 4 DISASTER!!- What has Adobe done to this once great product

Lightroom 4:  This is what happens when you try to produce a product that is all things to all people!  Stills, Video, Book Publication etc  The program is now bloated with too many modules and as a result it is far too slow for professional use (unlike Lightroom 3).  Looks like an oppertunity for Aperture or Capture One.

This once great product probably wont change from the DISASTER that Adobe have made.
But they could have made iterations of LR
L4V for video guys
LER4 for beginners and amateurs
LR4B for those who want to make books
LR4W for those who make galleries
LR4P for the professionals and
LRWTF4 for those who wanted it to make the coffee and wash the dishes.
That is 6 iterations of Lightroom, each for $80. Then what happens if I want option 1 and 5... Hmmm, that is $160, Now I object as that is loads a money.
So they did not as they opted to make LR4 which is what they've offered us and we've bitched and moaned about through the testing and they've listened to us and made improvements, checked bugs and tweaked things here and there and now we have
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4
LR4  allows you / one to catalog your photos, to edit your photos to a new level that makes LR3 so last century, if you make books for clients as do many people, you can now do it  through LR, you can even take images out from your videos shot with your high end VDSLR's.
It still prints for those who print and it still makes web galleries for those who do that.
You can put your photos onto a map and add that location to the images to send wherever you want online.
I'm gonna get my copy this weekend, and with great excitement. I'm going to print off a couple of prints of animals from the Kruger National Park where I've spent the last 3 days working. I'm going to tag ALL the photos with Kruger National Park, and I'm gonna make a new gallery for this shoot. As I charged a good sum for the shoot, I'm also going to make a book of the best photos and send that to the client, so they can put it in their game lodge, and my photos will be seen by all their clients from around the world. Hell, one or two may say
"Hey, there are some great photos, here's the photographers details, I'll see if he will sell me a print"
All for $80
BARGAIN,
hamish NIVEN Photography

    Have been using Lightroom on my Apple computer for years. Now, ever since upgrading to Apple's  Yosemite operating system I get an error message (150:30) every time I try to open a lightroom file. Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Also how do I subscribe to Adobe's Premium Support? Every time I've tried (through contact support) I just get taken on an unending loop.

    I think we need a lot more information.
    Exactly what does the message say?
    Exactly what files are you trying to open?
    Exactly how are you trying to open them (what menu command or button or mouse action or keyboard shortcut)?
    And lastly, what version of Lightroom are you using?

  • From ARD Client, how can I tell what has been done on my machine?

    I am in a workgroup that is managed by ARD. I am not an administrator, but I'd like to get an idea of what has been done on my machine by the admin through ARD. It doesn't have to be too specific or real-time, but I'd like to get some idea. For instance, were there reports run on my application usage? Was there software installed? I'm really just fascinated by automation and software used to increase efficiency. I was thinking there would be a way to monitor incoming and outgoing requests or something, but that might not be the answer in this case. So how can I figure out what ARD admin is doing on my machine?

    To answer what was asked in the subject of your question... ARD Client will not tell you anything. It is just the doorway.
    There may be logs, but those would not be accessible from a non-admin account.

  • What should be done for this ?

    hi ,
    here is my question ..my xml will have
    <Message>
    <ATO>
    <somefiled="X" type=int value=35 />
    </ATO>
    <FIX>
    <somefiled="Y" type=String value=50 />
    <FIX>
    </Message>
    Now first i have to parse this xml ..then my java program is going to accept value from user ..and depending on user specified value i've to use either ATO or FIX fields...e.g if user value is 35 then my program should use fields within ATO node.
    what should be done for this ..
    and what if i change values in my xml file..will i have to restart my application to load xml again ?

    I have changed your XML to make it well formed. Please refer this further in this reply.
    Well Formed XML:
    <Message>
         <ATO somefiled="X" type="int" value="35"/>
         <FIX somefiled="Y" type="String" value="50"/>
    </Message>

    what should be done for this ..A simple XPath Query can do trick for you, it can give you ATO or FIX element according to user specified value. XPath query can be:
    // replace ##user_specified_value## with value user enters.
    String xPathquery= "/Message/child::*[@value='##user_specified_value##']";

  • What is adobe illustrator message "This FXG is invalid, validate it before opening" and what to do?

    What is adobe illustrator message "This FXG is invalid, validate it before opening" and what to do?

    Mike,
    I have a Flash file from a client that is not animated but full of vector based art. I need to work on this art but prefer to do so in Illustrator. I just want to bring the vector art into Illustrator easily. Copy and paste does not work, Drag & Drop does not work, exporting does not work.
    Why can we easily move art from Illustrator to Flash but not the other way around?

    Since upgrading to OS X Mavericks I have not been able to work on any MS Word tracked changes documents (works fine if no tracked changes or comments in the doc). Every time upon opening such a word file with tr.changes the word processor closes / crashes.
    What can be done in this case?

    I just discovered that by turning off in tracked changes balloons in Word preferences prevents the software from crashing, but from then on I need to use only the review pane.

  • What has it done with my email?

    I reinstalled my OS this weekend and when loading back up it said I had to have an email to use icloud now (I used to just have a short name which was used for mac store etc)
    So I duely gave it my gmail one.
    Now I cannot sign into my icloud mail. It says I have to create an email for it??
    Well I tried putting in my me.com one. It says I cannot have that as its already taken. I know, its mine. But I cannot fathom what has gone wrong.
    icloud knows its me for this gmail one, all my contacts have transferred etc, but it won't let me have my me.com or mac.com email addy because it thinks that belongs to someone else even though it belongs to me.
    I really don't want to loose them emails, but am at a loss as to what to do.

    Sign in with your @me.com address in System Preference>iCloud. (Remove the other ID first if necessary.)

  • I have seen numerous discussions as to jetpack data consumption.  My new jetpack is adding up way too much data usage.  What can be done about this?

    Why is my jetpack recording an incredible amount of data usage?  I'm getting alerts on a daily basis.  All I do is read email and shop online.  What is Verizon doing about this?  I've used a data calculator and I shouldn't be using a third of what is being billed.  A lot of nasty stuff on these posts.

    > it was recorded that my jetpack used 13gigs in one day; this cannot be correct.
    There is a common concern that many wireless users share on this subject.  Unfortunately VZW holds all the cards when it comes to the actual details on what happened resulting with your final billing statement.
    The only thing we as consumers can do is try to setup monitors on our own and funnel our internet traffic through those devices/applications.  With a monitor in place there is a better chance that you can identify leaks and stop them before it makes it to your bill.
    Keep in mind that data usage has nothing to do with what you are intentionally doing on the internet.  Data usage relates to what is actually happening behind the scenes.  If you, your neighbor, your dog or your toaster is online and consuming internet through your VZW device then VZW will hold you accountable for it.  Its similar to a hose that you turn on in your yard, a utility company doesn't care who did it, they only care that they sent XYZ gallons of water to your residence.  What worked well on your previous provider may not work well on VZW resulting in retries and increased usage for the same actions.
    Don't get too hung up on the timestamps that VZW offers you in their alerts or reports. There are all sorts of examples where billing is delayed for various reasons. Use the timestamps as a clue, not as actual evidence that can be relied on during your investigation.

  • What can be done about this outrageous bill??!

    Ok, here's some back story; My girlfriend and I were on the same plan for about a year or so. Here recently we broke up and she continued on the plan for about another month while we were working out some money issues. During that time (not having any Wifi at her house) she constantly watched shows and such on her phone, which sky rocketed the phone bill into it's 70th overage allowance!!! Her line ended up using a total of 80 gigs while mine only used about 5, which is normal. I kicked her off immediately and had her accept responsibility for her own line. I know, I should of done it earlier, but it was a different situation then. Lesson learned I guess.
    When that happened, it obviously started a fresh new plan for her and I was stuck with a $1,400 bill! I asked Verizon (customer reps, hadn't spoken to any "supervisors" yet) if there was anything that could be done as far as her taking responsibility for her part of the bill. The obvious answer was no, simply because I'm the account owner and it's my responsibility, which I think is absolutely ridiculous! I'm not the one sitting her ringing up a bill that high. She did it on her line, it's her responsibility! That should follow her over to her account, and she should be liable for paying for the charges she rung up! That would be fair, right?? The way they have it set up now isn't in any way, shape or form fair. When asking about how much time I'd have to pay it, I was told they could only push it out a couple of days. I don't make anywhere near that much in such a short time, let alone with having other bills to pay and everything, and they expect you to just cough it over that quick!
    I'm on here to see if there's anything at all that can be done about this stupidly high bill, or if any Verizon associates here might be able to help. If not, I'll take my number and go to another carrier. This is ridiculous and I'm not at all happy!

    As the account owner, you are personally responsible for all charges on your account.  Period.
    If you feel that another person is responsible for the charges, then Small Claims Court would be the avenue for you to explore.
    You might want to contact Verizon Financial Services and set up payment arrangements for the amount you owe.  There might be more that they can do to schedule a series of payments.
    Financial Services:  866-266-1445
    Customer Service:
    Dial *611 from your cell phone
    (800) 922-0204
    Monday-Sunday 6 am-11 pm
    And even though she is off your account now, you might also want to set up data alerts on your account so that you get alerted when you are near your data limit.  It's one thing to be a little bit over, but 80GB?  Seriously?

  • What has APPLE done to iTunes 7.1 This is HORRIBLE

    This new version has completly jumbled all of my TV shows and will not put them back in numerical or in episode order. What is the problem here, does Apple think people just want to watch any old thing that comes up next on the computer. Help ...please put it back to the way it was or if some one knows somthing I dont please help. I have tried adding a zero. Re-ordering my Season, Name, etc.....

    Thank you for responding, I figured out how to fix the problem it takes quite a bit of time though. You will have to go into each individual TV show or unless you have something like iPod TV shows which will tag your TV shows for you, you have to change all the episode IDs to something numerical such as S01E01 and so on for each episode. I'm in the process of doing this now for all of my shows and it seems to be working just fine. I hope it works out for you.

  • I can't register Spore and now I can't play it either, it just wants me to debug it then won't. What have I done? This game has been a pain from the start.

    I bought this game some time ago but have never been able to register it. I even bought another one when they became cheaper but still can't register. I've tried every whichway and now it won't load either. It wants me to debug then it won't. I've tried trashing then reinstalling but no luck. The Spore creature creator won't play either. What did I do and is there a cleanup software Mac users can recommend? Thanks

    Carol,
    BTW please update your profile, you aren't using OS X 10.1.x. If you don't know what version you're using click the Apple Symbol in the upper left of this screen and select About this Mac. Once you know the version  you can update your profile by clicking Your Stuff on this screen (upper right) and you will see the Profile link. This is useful so we can help you troubleshoot problems.
    You can remove apps 3 ways.
    Inquire with the developer to see if they have an Uninstall routine. I suspect this game does not.
    Drag the app to the Trash
    Download and install an app such as AppCleaner. You can find it at www.macupdate.com and search for AppCleaner.
