Photoshop lightroom 3 Trial?

I have downloaded the Photoshop lightroom 3 30 day Trial. It seemed to go well, but as I finished and tried to inport a photo to play with- I am not familiar with it at all, but as I thought I could import a couple photos- it made a catalog of hundreds.... then said it had stopped working and would have to close.
After this, I have tried starting the program again and it tells me "Lightroom Opening Catalog:IMG_0749.JPG.ircat"  -- It then says it 'has stopped working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"
I have uninstalled and reinstalled but the exact same thing happened.
Anyone else have this issue or know what to do to fix it? I have heard a lot of great things about this program & really wanted to try it.
I'm really frustrated & at this point, I'm glad it was just a trial & not a purchase:)
Thank you!
I am running vista by the way.

Trash the catalog named Lightroom Opening Catalog:IMG_0749.JPG.ircat

  • Why can't I open my RAW files in my trial version of Photoshop Lightroom 4?

    Why can't I open my RAW files in my trial version of Photoshop Lightroom 4? I use a Canon 5d mark II, which is supposed to be supported, and I checked for updates, but none were found.

    You cannot open files directly with Lr.
    You have to import them.

  • Photoshop CC in Trial mode. Have Photoshop/Lightroom CC subscription.

    I have a Photoshop / Lightroom CC subscription
    but each time I fire up Photoshop it pops up a dialog saying my trial is ending soon.
    If I hit "License this software" and sign in, I am told to enter a serial number.
    I have not seen any serial number being mentioned in the initial emails received, and as far as I understand from the websites help it is not supposed to be any on the CC subscriptions.
    I am out of ideas on what to try to get this working

    Lots of Q&A in these forums with the same issue.

  • Photoshop elements trial version plugin not working with lightroom

    Hello,
    I just downloaded adobe photoshop element trial version.
    The plug-in is not working with my already installed Lightroom.
    Any idea what I need to do?
    Thanks!

    I can't edit in Elements either. May be trial version of Elements can not be linked to Lightroom. Any thoughts? 

  • I use a macbook pro. Several months ago I signed up for the Photoshop/lightroom offer and the payments are taken from my bank but I am unable to locate the product. I just get a message saying that my trial is expired. I am really desperate.

  • Free trial of Photoshop Lightroom 5

    A photographer friend recommended I use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 for procesing my RAW photos. I found the "free trial link" but cannot find how long it lasts. Can someone at Adobe please respond? Thank you kindly.

    Before you can insert a photo in a blog you have to export it from Lightroom as an RGB image, probably in jpg format. From the moment it has been saved on your hard drive that jpg leads an independent existence which is not connected to Lightroom's functionality or lack of it - just like a calve can go on living after the cow has been trotted off to the slaughter-house. Moreover, after you have uploaded the jpg to the web a copy of it is now saved on the blog site's server and will continue to be there even if your computer explodes.
    Also, you should be aware that LR never does anything to your Raw files other than read them. It does not change them in any way and after you have finished the trial you can edit them in any other Raw conversion application. As a matter of fact, you can edit them in LR and any number of other converters simultaneously. When you edit a Raw in LR the only thing that happens is that those requested edits are listed in a database file, called the "catalog", for LR's future reference if it is commanded to make an RGB image. Without an operative version of LR the catalog cannot be read.

  • Today is last day of my lightroom trial and i dont want to lose book i am working on so i bought the photoshop/lightroom monthly package for 9.99.  Where do i find the serial number to register lightroom?

    today is last day of my lightroom trial and i dont want to lose book i am working on so i bought the photoshop/lightroom monthly package for 9.99.  Where do i find the serial number to register lightroom?

    There is no serial number for the CC version of LR.
    You should uninstall the trial which is asking for a serial number – your catalog and images won’t be affected.
    Then Quit the CC Desktop application, using Gear / Quit or right-click / Quit
    Then restart the CC Desktop application.
    Now you should have LR listed in the CC Desktop apps list with an Install button.

  • I did not try the free evaluation program of adobe photoshop lightroom 5 on my mac, but since i downloaded it long ago, it will not allow me to try it now

    has anyone had this problem and know how to work on the program? 
    i recently got a macbook pro, migrating to it from windows XP pro. its operating system is OS 10 X; however, the most up to date mac OS is really (on my mac) called OS mavericks.
    when i downloaded adobe reader for mac--some months ago--adobe gave me the chance to download adobe photoshop lightroom 5 as a trial evaluation.  the download took a lot of time. 
    i never had the time to try this application yet, and now i need to do that. 
    the reason i have not yet tried it is because i am still in the learning curve learning how to use my macbook pro. 
    I REALLY NEED TO WORK ON SOME PHOTOGRAPHS!  the free mac apps for photos have proved to be difficult and very time consuming.  they do not have capacities to perform tasks like i want, for instance, to compress a photo, or to work on editing some photos as a batch operation.  in fact, i cannot even "select" a number of photos that i need to work on.  it is driving me crazy! 
    at this time, i need to try this product.  i opened it, but the only thing that i can do is provide the license number, as though i bought the product.  I NEVER TRIED THE EVALUATION COPY.  not one time at all. 
    since i never tried it out, what can i do to try it now?
    must i uninstall the program from my macbook and then reinstall the trial version?  would that work since i work at home, so therefore adobe would recognize my IP address. 
    thanks for any help!

  • Purchased the Photoshop / LightRoom 5 "CC" for $9.99 - where's the serial number(s)?  (cross-post)

    Title pretty much says it all.
    I am new to Creative Cloud - and this forum, etc.
    I purchased the $9.99 / month deal that Adobe is offering to new customers, etc.
    Downloaded everything that I need to download (I think).
    Tried to run Photoshop - but am being asked if I want to start my "trial"
    or I have the option to "License This Software"
    but where is the Serial Number for Photoshop & LightRoom 5?
    I imagine it's right under my nose - but I do not see it anywhere.
    The screen which appears (after I sign in) says:
    Am I supposed to "Start Trial" or "License This Software"
    To make things even more confusing:
    I just ran LightRoom 5 for the first time.
    There was a serial number automatically inserted in the space provided.
    Not sure what's going on - but this is becoming a little overwheling.
    I suppose it's the price I must pay for being an old fart!

    @ didjunior:
    Hi.  Sorry, but I don't have any good news for ya.
    My issue has been resolved, however - it was due to a lengthy chat I had online with an Adobe Associate.
    We were able to get everything running the way 'twas intended,
    but there were some hoops of fire with which I had to jump.
    Wish I could help....but the only thing I can say is to attempt a "Live Chat"
    With the Adobe help team.
    Hope you get it smoothed over.
    Good luck to you.

  • Why is my free Beta Photoshop Lightroom asking for a license?

    In the nearly daily Flash Update I received an offer for a "Free Beta Photoshop Lightroom" and for once took Adobe up on one of their offers. I figured even though it was a Beta it would be nice to have a free program to go along with my paid version of CS Master Collection. I installed the flash update and recieved no notification that Lightroom had been installed. First bad sign. I checked my applications and yes, it was there, great. I clicked on it and it then asked me to decide to enter my license number or to choose the 30 day free trial.
    Free Trial?
    The offer was not for a free trial. It was for a Free Beta version with no mentinon of a trial period. Is Adobe familar with the false advertising laws in America? I am saddened with the direction that Adobe seems to have taken with their advertising and promotional inaccuracies. Had I known this was a free trial I would not have accepted the download. Considering it was advertised as free I want my free light room.
    I dont think it is wise for Adobe to be making their long time customers unhappy. Is adobe going to stand behind their advertisement in the updates?
    I was told by the chat help that they do not know anything about this as well. How can adobe not know what ads they have with their flash player updates?
    I am getting very dissappointed with the games Adobe is playing.
    I have to add, that Mohammed in the chat window was very good and patient. Adobe, your slipping and I for one do not like it.

    Keith, of course public offerings. I am sorry you do not have the experience of going to a Software site and seeing the offer of Beta software. The largest of course is MS who has offered Beta in a number of different manners. Some with a year time limit others with no time limit due to it being a beta. Many companies offer it.
    This is a customer complaint and a resolution should be found and not disbuted because of your personal expereinces that have no bearing on my experiences or your disbelief.
    An example of a good helpful post is Vicotria's post. She is attempting to find out what is going on, you and the other guy are provoking an argument, and that is not staying on topic. I dont care that you need proof that I have beta's from whatever source I received them from. I would like to know what happened.
    Victoria,
    Thank you for trying to find a solution. The windows are not the same but are similar. Considering I do not have a screen shot, could I have misread it? Maybe. I dont have a screen shot to disbute it. Why I am considering that I misread it is because you tried to duplicate my experience and had appear on two different machines. That unlike the other off color posts suggests I misread it and was not dillusional about companies offering betas and my beta releases on my shelves.
    I will take a screen shot from now on when these offers come up. Thank You Victoria.
    PS Victoria,
    That screen capture you have is the web page also. The update comes up in its own seperate window on the computer when a new update is available. I have the settings where it will not do auto updates. It will inform me when an update is available. 

  • I have bought adobe photoshop lightroom  5 (a product code card). My identity has been confirmed. How do I download and install the program?

    Hello:
    I have bought a student and teacher edition of Adobe photoshop Lightroom 5. My identity has been confirmed. But when I was about to install (i believe), there was problem with the password. I have requested for the reset of the password. Now how can I get into the screen for the  download and installation of my program.
    Thanks.
