Seems that we are unable to Choose for "open as" a default of Camera Raw" ?
Greetings
I have no problem with this in that if I, for instance, want to open a JPEG in Camera Raw, then I choose that from the drop-down box. I have learned this by
initially forgetting many times, then completing the action successfully. Then the drop-down box comes up with that option for the rest of the session. Next time I
open Elements however the default is not Raw but,instead Photoshop PSD.
However, we do teach other people at our sessions how to use Elements and this makes it more difficult to do. Although there are many possible permutations, the
most obvious is to open as Adobe Camera Raw. If we want to open as Photoshop PSD then a simple "Open" on a Photoshop PSD file will do the trick.
Is there something I am missing ??

PS - I did not answer your question re are we teaching the use of "ACR as default for jpegs". I would not go so far as to say, default. Nevertheless we try to encourage the use of RAW and also very definitely for the images that we really like and/or are unique shots, the extra value of processing these jpegs in ACR.
Yes I agree with the purpose.
I think it's not only a quality advice, it's also a matter of efficiency in your workflow. When you compare the workflow in Lightroom to a traditional workflow in the combo editor - organizer - ACR, you can see how the 'parametric' editing of Lightroom is valuable. You can edit batches of files with raws and jpegs, you don't bother about creating output versions at editing time, you can appy the same edits to a selection of files. In a way, you can do the same if you are only working with raws in Elements. What breaks the combo is when you are working with jpeg. You can't open jpegs in ACR from the Organizer... unless they have already been opened from the editor!
My last experiment in the Christmas event was dealing with a collection of 300 pictures taken at max ISO by three different P&S cameras, a few with flash, most without. The lighting was indoors, several kinds of fluorescent lights, halogen, tungsten and mixed daylight. Any combination of those lights, different abilities from the 3 cameras re ISO, noise, saturation... but they were taken by short sequences of 4 to 15 in the same lighting conditions.
So, you are right only ACR can provide a good start to deal with the atrocious white balance problem as well as the noise (In some cases, there was no other solution than a black and white conversion). But I was able to process quickly each sequence in a similar lighting by using common settings. I did only open a few in the editor, I simply clicked 'Done' after the tonal, noise and cropping adjustments. After the first batch of edits, I was able to use only the Organizer for my final edits as I could open 'converted' jpegs as well as raw in the editor.
So, the workaround for the organizer inability to open jpegs in ACR would be to 'Open in ACR' in the editor batches of jpegs, doing nothing in the ACR dialog except selecting the whole batch and clicking 'Done'. After that, you can open in ACR from the Organizer! Note that doing nothing in the ACR dialog means that the 'default ACR conversion settings' will be applied (non destructively). Believe me, that was already a big improvement in white balance and tonal rendition!

I have GarageBand for iPad 2 and noticed that there are far fewer loops for iPad than for apple laptops. Is there a library available of apple loops? I haven't been able to find any if there are. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Update: An Apple rep called me today to update the status of my return. I was told that the replacements for the BLACK iPad 2's was still another 3 weeks out (at least) so they offered me a brand new WHITE 16GB iPad 2. I could have that or continue waiting. I opted to go ahead and accept the offer of a new white one. Worst case scenario if I don't like the white one I have buddy that just bought a 16GB black one that he would be willing to swap it.

My auto updates are not working! I cannot find where to download Camera Raw 8.1 for Photoshop CS6 (Windows 8 64 bit). My Camera Raw is now at 7.1. I had the online Adobe folks tell me to just download all updates manually. That's great, yet I cannot find camera raw 8.1 to download...
Please help.
Thanks, Janetthere's a direct download link on this page: https://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2013/06/camera-raw-8-1-and-dng-converter-8-1-now- available.html

I have a I-Phone 4S and I deleted text messages over the last 6 months. I didn't have my phone backed up with I-Tunes or anything. Is there a way to retrieve all of those deleted text messages?? I read somewhere a while back, that texts are never really deleted permanently. Can't find information on that. Can anyone help please?

I am generating some very large XML files (600,000+ lines, 50MB+ characters). I finally have them all being valid XML and valid UTF-8.
But the files are so large Safari and Chrome will often not open them. FireFox will though.
Instead of these browsers, I was wondering if there are there any other recommended apps for the Mac for opening and viewing the XML, getting an error message if they are not valid for some reason and examing the XML tree?
I opened the file in the default app for XML which is Xcode, but that is just like opening it in a plain text editor. You can't expand/collapse the XML tree like you can with a browser, and it doesn't report errors.
Thanks,
DougHi Tom,
I had not seen that list. I'll look it over.
I'm also in touch with the developer of BBEdit (they are quite responsive) and they are willing to look at the file in question and see why it is not reporting UTF-8 errors while Chrome is.
For now I have all the invalid characters quashed and things are working. But it would be useful in the future.
By the by, some of those editors are quite pricey!

What are the security risks for opening port 80 on workstations?
Hello all,
in our environment, there is an application which open port 80 on workstations when installed, but it is not allowed on preimeter FW
could you please advise what are the security risks for leaving port 80 opened on the workstations? or it is considered secure unless it is not allowed on the preimeter FW?
thanks alot & regardsHi R.Naguib.
The 80 port is open by default through the firewall on Windows system, it is used by a http protocol by a browser.
As for the network or hardware Firewall settings, I suggest to turn to the network administrator for details.

I have a Canon 5D Mark III and also just got the Mac Pro. Everything worked fine on my old iMac with CS6. I just put the software on the Mac Pro and made all the updates; none of the CR2 files will open in camera raw. The JPEGs are showing up with thumbnails, and open in photoshop, but the CR2s are not doing anything but showing a bunch of CR2 thumbnail icons and when I try to open one, it gives me this stupid irritating error message (image below). Will someone please help me get camera raw working on my mac pro? I've done everything Adobe's stupid website has told me to do. I can't express in words how infuriating this is. I am starting to hate Adobe. I've spent way too much money for this to be happening.
CS6 shipped with Adobe Camera Raw 7.0.
Camera Raw supported the 5D Mark III from version 7.1.
I suspect that your Camera Raw is not up to date.
You can manually install Camera Raw 8.3 if you download it from

Cannot install updates for CS5 photoshop on Mac, including Camera Raw 6.7
I have been trying to use the update function on CS5 so that I can update Photoshop and Camera Raw so that I can work with RAW files from my camera. Though the files appear to download, I keep receiving error messages that they failed to install and should try later. This keeps happening over and over. I am using a Mac Pro (from mid 2010) and have already updated to OS X Yosemite. Grateful for any help anyone can provide!

Why am I taking so long to encode on a screaming computer?
So I purchased CS5 a bit ago and was pretty happy with my encoding speed considering it was on a 2 year old computer (P4 2.8 quad core, no HT 6GB RAM) I wanted to see if upgrading my GTX 8800 (325MB) to a GTX 470 (1.3GB RAM) would speed up encoding.
