Photoshop 2.0 versus Photophop 10

Year ago I purchased Adobe Photoshop and Album 2 for Windows XP computer. Loved working with it, howver, I can no longer update program and after editing photos, cannot save them due to "program error".
So this year, I purchased Windows 8 computer with Photoshop Premiere 10. Very unsatisfied with this newer version. Not as easy to work with and not as versatile. Any suggestions please?
Thanks for your response.

You should have bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 from Amazon:

Photoshop on PC and Mac?

Hello,
I bought photoshop for my PC desktop. I'm considering buying a Mac laptop and I want to know if I'll be able to use my license to install photoshop on it. I read somewhere that I can install it on two computers, but I'm not sure if the PC/Mac versions are considered to be the same.
Thanks!

There are different versions of Photoshop for PC versus Mac, so you won't be able to use the same license/software for both machines.

Presets - Aperture vs. Photoshop

Is there an Aperture user out there who is also a heavy user of presets in Photoshop? I've never really used them in Photoshop, personally. I know Aperture's presets are limited to individual adjustments, whereas I think you can set up groups of adjustments in Photoshop (is this a correct assumption?). I'm not really catching how presets are that helpful. If I take 1,000 photos one afternoon in a new environment, don't I have to create new presets in photoshop to get sharpness, white balance, boost, shadow, etc. right? How are presets more helpful than Lift and Stamp then? Is the time saving you get from using presets in Photoshop/Bridge significant versus Lift and Stamp? Is there a better workaround? From a workflow perspective, could you just run your "picks" through Photoshop all the selecting and light editing?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi Steven,
I used to be a heavier CS2 user than I am now, but I'd say I was more fly-weight than heavyweight. But here's my take.
In CS2, many adjustments and filters allow you to save or load the settings for future use ... presets if you would. I didn't find them as useful on an ad hoc basis, but when used in conjunction with CS2 actions (scripts) they can be run across a whole group of images in a batch mode.
I would say there are strong similarities. CS2 Actions are more powerful I suggest as they allow for a chaining of several presets on both adjustments and filters and which have overlapping/stacking effects (possible by virtue of layers of course and to a degree masks). That is, an action is a sequence of steps: step 1, step 2, .... step n. Each step performs an adjustment, filter, setting with parameters or recalled saved settings.
Saved settings (presets) allow for a profile to be pulled into such an action, and esp. if you want to create 2 or 3 actions (same set of processes), but with different adjustment effects (presets) used during any one action.
Aperture is far more hands on, and since it isn't a compositing tool, the sequencing aspect of the Action (like a saved Lift and Stamp set) has less value ... but still some. I see value in having far more batch support so I can enjoy longer coffee breaks, esp. for my post-import adjustments. Ex. Action from the Terminal or Automator level to import this folder of images, apply this RAW preset, auto-level with this preset, do this WB preset, then do a noise with this preset and an edge sharpen of that preset. That means saving my Lift/Stamp so I can call from Automator .... but I don't believe I can do that, nor make my selection of images outside of Aperture to apply the Lift/Stamp to.

Downloading photoshop on mac and crashes

How to access Magic Extractor after purchasing Version 13 of Photoshop Elements

After paying $99 plus tax to purchase Photoshop Elements V13 I have learned that Magic Extractor was eliminated from this and V12 'upgrades.' There are workarounds in V13, but they won't work so well I have read. I need to apply a white background for Amazon images to photos of wire jewelry. I need intelligent software to help me. See my items at http;//www.ElegantEarCuffs.com to see how difficult a manual process this is.
Is there a way for me to download a version with Magic Extractor and if so, would you recommend which version, ie V11 possibly?
Since I have already paid for 13 would I have to pay for 11?
Thank you.
Fiona

Glad all seems to have worked out for you.
I was about to go into...
Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 are standalone products that come with the Elements Organizer 13.
When they are on the same computer, they share the same Elements Organizer 13 catalog.
So your suggestion that you got different Elements Organizer 13 results depending on whether you started on the Photoshop
Elements 13 versus Premiere Elements 13 side of things was challenging.

Unable to add a new Place in Version 13 of Premier Elements Organizer

Hi,
I am using the trial version of Premier Elements Organizer, which I am planning on purchasing if I can get this issue resolved. When I click on the "Add Places" button at the bottom of the screen AND when I click on the green plus button and "Add New Place" on the Places panel the program locks up and I receive the "Program Not Responding" message from Windows 8.1. I've clicked the "Wait for the program to respond" and have waited over 5 minutes and nothing happens.
This doesn't happen in the Photoshop Elements Organizer; however, all I need is the Organizer and Video Editing so I have switched to Premier Elements.
Thank you,
Andrea

From my personal experience, I wouldn't go for an Integrated card. This is one of the most important components for Photoshop, so invest in a decent graphics card (ATI or NVidia). It doesn't have to be a really exepensive one - I have been using ATI Radeon with 256MB of RAM on my Dell Studio for almost two years and it still rocks! (even when I work with 3D in Ps CS5 Extended).
I would also invest in more RAM (this can be added easily - I bought extra 4GB as my Studio came with 3GB).
I wouldn't worry about the processor - I'm on Intel Core 2 Duo - and it works very very well, it's very quick which is very important as I'm training Photoshop.
I hope this helps.

Photoshop Versus Photoshop Elements for Digital Art Creation and Layers

I'm using Photoshop Elements 10. If I want to use Photoshop with digital art (paintings mostly) and want to do touch up work and move elements of paintings into multiple layers, what extra features does Photoshop have that would benefit this application?
And what features are in Photoshop Creative Cloud, and CS6, versus CS5? I do want to save some money and CS5 might be quite sufficient for my amateur uses.

There is 16 bit and 8 bit, but probably will not make much difference.
Only you know what kind of art you are doing. If Elements works for you I see no need to put out $700 for Photoshop.
Do some web searches like this one. http://digital-painting-software-review.toptenreviews.com/

Lightroom versus PhotoShop Elements Organizer and Bridge

This is directed to the Adobe Developer Team
I hope someone of the Developer team is reading this!!
For my understanding the three products out of one house (PhotoShop Elements Organizer, Bridge and Lightroom) doing about the same, should ...
work the same (same idea, same behaviour, organizing by path/subfolders instead of cataloges etc.)
maintain the same database and files (LR should recognize the collections from BR and Vice Versa, use the same cache files etc.) and should
be compatible to each other (e.g. Tags, Collections etc)
Actually I suggest ADOBE
to eliminate Organizer and integrate the good functions into BRIDGE (e.g. albums, upload to flickr, webpage generation etc)
give BRIDGE as the free of charge picture organizer to PS Elements and to PS CS
change LIGHTROOM into an payable upgrade of BRIDGE with enhanced functionality of the free of charge BRIDGE, (which can work as a stand-alone software as it does today
better integration of PSE, PS CS into Bridge/Lightroom (e.g. Panaorama function opens only PS CS but the version of PSE works much better, so I want to choose in the menu of Bridge/Lightroom)
I am really struggling with the three of them.
Beside that I suggest to get rid of the Catalog idea of Lightroom with it's import/export and synchronization needs and instead use or at least integrate the idea of BRIDGE to get pictures structured and organized by path and subfolders, as this is anyhow how the way pictures are stored already for most of us... I asume. I doubt that anybody just throw all files into one big subdirectory and get the organized into cataloges. But please keep collections as they are helpful to quickly collect some pictures to commonly work on them. by drag & drop. The Catalogues of LR drives me crazy but LR have a lot of nice functions (e.g. Webupload interfaces to flickr and others, nice noice reduction, nice albums and webpage functions, etc.)
Thanks
Merry X-Mas and a Happy New Year
Georg
PS: Please all of you comment your experience and opinion on this matter ... I am interested what you think about it.

Hi George,
Whereas Bridge and Photoshop Elements (and most non-LR users) base their organisation on the file / folder structure, Lightroom uses files / folders simply for storage - the catalog is used for organisation. This 'catalog based approach' provides far more flexibility, both in organisation, and in recording a complete, fully-reversible record of all edits made to each photograph.
To suggest that Adobe "get rid of the Catalog idea of Lightroom" and "get pictures structured and organized by path and subfolders" would remove almost ALL advantages Lightroom has over Bridge & PS Elements combined. To fully appreciate Lightroom, you need to appreciate that files and folders are not the only way to organise photos. Why not watch a few of the Adobe Lightroom Tutorial videos? This link below takes you to a video explaining about the Catalog;
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/george-jardine-on-lightroom/the-lightroom-catalog/
However, if you really want Adobe to hear your views, why not raise a Feature request with them, at this link below;
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
I'm sure if you call your feature request 'Remove Catalog from Lightroom, and organise by Folders instead', it'll get noticed, as will any forum posts of the same name...
Cheers,
Alan

Adobe photoshop CS3 versus adobe photoshop lightroom 2.3

I already own adobe photoshop CS3. Is it worthwhile to get adobe photoshop lightroom 2.3? Is it easier to use?

You can check out some of the free Lightroom tutorial videos here
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/lightroom/articles/lir2am_videotutorials.html
to get a sense of how workflow goes in Lightroom, and what Lightroom can do. I also agree that taking the free trial is going to give you a better sense of whether Lightroom will meet your specific needs than any answers you'll get here.
Lightroom is considered to be more newbie friendly than Photoshop. All arts editing programs, as far as I'm concerned, if they're any good, have a learning curve to master the features, and Lightroom is no exception, but LR's learning curve does tend to be less steep than Photoshop's for many users.
Many forum members who do have extensive experience with both programs have posted here that they now do the great majority or all of their editing with at least most of their images in Lightroom. Photoshop still has things it can do that Lightroom cannot do or cannot do as well, so it's not uncommon for people to post here that with an image that needs something exceptional, they'll still go over to Photoshop and put in some heavy duty editing time there. Adobe has made bouncing back and forth between the two programs easy. But often with Lightroom, you can make an image quite good with just a minute or two of edits, once you quickly get the hang of the program, and it offers many advantages in organization of large blocks of images.

Photoshop CS3 versus Photoshop CS4

Hi
I have Lightroom 2.3
Photoshop CS3
Mac OS X 10.5.6.
After editing Photo in Lightroom my transfer to CS3 came up with the following message:
"This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 5.3 for full compatibility.
Camera Raw version 4.6. is the latest version available for Photoshop CS3. If raw file support for your camera was introduced after Camera aw 4.6., the Photoshop integration features in Lightroom require CS4 and the latest Camera Raw version 5 plug-in.
The version of the Camera Raw plug-in currently installed is 4_6."
Unfortunately I partially read this message. and
Immediately downloaded camera raw 5_3. - Thus was unable to install the newly downloaded camera raw 5_3. However I installed the camera profiles ( not related to my Nikon D80).
1. Should I uninstall the camera profiles? if so How to?
2. Do Photoshop CS3 users have to continue work /edit photos with less up-to date perhaps lack of Camera Raw developments?
thank you
Sue

The highest version of Adobe Camera Raw that will work with CS3 is ACR 4.6, which is incompatible with the raw conversion engine used in Lightroom 2.3. There is nothing you can do about that other than upgrading to CS4.
The functionality of ACR 5.3 is so far superior to ACR 4.6 that the upgrade to CS4 is a no-brainer. Really.

If they really got installed, you can locate them and put them in the trash.

Mac versus PC - which is best value for photoshop?

Hi my background is as a Graphic Designer (accustomed to using macs). However I recently decided to go freelance as an illustrator/graphic artist. I paint in photoshop using texture brushes and also scan in my drawings. The work i do crunches alot of memory and i'm looking to get a new mac pro or a pc to allow me to work as my imac is having a heartattack every time i use a brush. Initially i was looking to get a mac as this is what i am used to but looking at the prices of the memory it seems to cost more than the mac itself , and for my heavy photoshop work i'm gonna need alot of memory.
Are PCs a better option financially or is it best to stick with a mac? I've heard alot of stuff about how PCs are much more prone to viruses, but some people have also told me that the memory is alot cheaper to buy. Does photoshop run ok on PCs?
Anyway I dont have alot of money as i'm just starting out so i don't really want to spend loads on a mac pro if I can get a PC that does the same job for alot less. Does anyone have any clear advice/experience on the subject?

I have had both systems at home for over 15 years, and started out working on pre mac/pc graphics systems so I do not believe to be biased. A big factor in your decision should be is do you already own mac or pc software, and which platform you want to stay on? Photoshop and the creative suite runs fine on the pc and has now for a long time.
The benefits I find of each are:
PC
Cheaper hardware and upgrades (EG: 2nd Internal DVD drive)
Can buy hardware at you local electronic appliance store in case of emergency
A few more software plug-ins and choices
Mac
Less downtime due to virus/mallware
Less hardware problems
Less software problems
Will not need to convert fonts using crossfont for mac clients
Can play DVDs without having to buy third party player.
While the PC has more 3rd party maufacturors which drive prices down, that sometimes is a negative for the PC because hardware does not sync up as seamlessly. You may save money on the PC when initially buying your system, but in the long run you may use up more time trying to clean up viruses and incompatibilities. So they fall pretty equal and the decision really depends on the user and what suits your needs best and whom you will be working with.
Whether you are on pc or mac I encourage checking out the other side, as this adds to your way of thinking and to your arsenal of creative graphics solutions.

Aperture versus Photoshop Elements versus iPhoto

Please forgive my ignorance, I'm a lifelong PC user that has finally seen the light and converted to a MAC. I'm a bit confused on how I would use these three apps together. If I primarily take pictures, connect the camera to the MAC, edit/tag/organize photos, how do these apps work together and where are the files actually stored? Should I import into Iphoto first and then into Aperature, or straight into Aperture. Is there any purpose for using Photoshop Elements if I own Aperature?
thanks in advance,

Just to throw in my two cents, I am also a recent convert from the iPhoto/PSE combination to Aperture. Of course I still have PSE, but haven't needed to use it since I started using Aperture, as the editing tools are so powerful compared to those in iPhoto. Some key points I would make regarding aperture:
1. iPhoto is non-destructive, as was pointed out above. You can always revert to your original, and can even find the original in the finder if you open the iPhoto library package and navigate to it. But Aperture is much more flexible and space efficient because it seldom creates additional files unless you ask it to. It just previews what your edits look like - it doesn't save an edited version of your photo. This means the library takes up less space, and you can back out/turn on individual edits and see the effects. Very cool.
2. The iPhoto/PSE combination does not deal with editing of RAW format photos as well as Aperture. If you need to edit a RAW in PSE, editing is done in 8-bit color, and I believe saved as an 8-bit TIFF back to iPhoto. Aperture works in the full bit-depth and maintains the RAW file until you tell it to create something else. While I still have the "problem" (not to start a whole debate as to whether it is really a problem) of PSE only supporting 8-bit color for editing functions, I almost never need PSE. If I do I guess I can just put it at the end of my workflow and save my final jpeg or whatever.
3. Aperture supports editing plug-ins, so that it's editing capability can be expanded. Granted, many if not most of these plug-ins cost money, but you could purchase several and have capabilities in some areas that exceed that of PSE, but still invest less money that you would for full Photoshop and have the benefit of not having to leave Aperture to do these edits.
4. Aperture supports tethered shooting and remote control of your camera, if your camera supports these functions. It may be that only a minority of photographers are interested in these capabilities, but still, if you are one of them, it is important.

Bad quality preview in Bridge versus photoshop preview

Okay here's my problem. When I view my photos using Bridge CS4 I get a bad quality preview even when preview is set to "Always High Quality" The first photo you will see that there is a greenish yellowish tinge on the side of my daughters cheek. However, when I open the same image in photoshop that tinge is gone! You can see this in the second image. Is there a setting that I need to alter here in Bridge? And here's a weird thing....since that file is a raw cr2 file, when I open it up in camera raw, I see the exact same greenish tinge in camera raw as well. Does anybody know what's going on here?

Gosh darnit! It's happening again. I'm getting that murky yellowy tinge in the shadows again in the preview panel in Bridge AND Photoshop!! I downloaded the CS5 trial and when I was previewing some .CR2 RAW and jpeg files in sRGB color space in Bridge CS5, I see that in the preview box, the image looks awful with that yellowy tinge in the shadows. I open it up in Photoshop CS5 and zoom way into it, and sure enough, I see that yellowy nightmare. But when I open it up in picture viewer or in internet explorer, the yellowy tinge is gone. Man this is frustrating! I know it can't be a monitor calibration issue cuz if that was the case, the image in picture viewer would indeed, also have the yellowy tinge, correct? Any ideas? When the problem mysteriously went away with CS4 when I originally posted this thread several months ago, I thought updating Bridge was the solution. However, I don't believe that was the real answer. Anybody got any ideas? I was curious if it was an "Adobe" issue so I opened up one of the jpeg problem photos in AE CS5 and zoomed in. Fortunately, the yellowy tinge does NOT show up in the preview panel. PLEASE HELP!!!
