Upgrade the LR3 to LR4 in a Mac?

I used to have LR 3 in my PC, I switched to a Mac, where I don't have the LR.
Do I have to buy the Upgrade to LR4 or a complete new LR4?

Your LR serial number is valid for both platforms. You can go ahead and purchase the upgrade from 3 > 4. No need to purchase the full version.

    Yes, it is , however its very costly, and you should consider storing static media files on an external HD.

  • Upgrade from LR3 to LR4

    Hi,
    I have a few questions before I install and migrate my LR3 Catalog to LR4.
    Is there an Adobe Read Me document that discusses the do's and don'ts?
    Will my settings for LR3 transfer to LR4? Currently my "Lightroom Settings" is saved with my LR3 Catalog.
    Will LR4 save a new LR4 Catalog based on the previous LR3 version?
    Finally, can I run both programs, LR3 and LR4 on the same Mac OS X 10.7.2? I plan to do this just for the next few months and LR3 Catalog will not point to the same photos as LR4.
    Thanks so much for your help.

    Ian,
    Thanks, yes I started to watch Ms. Kost videos, they are always very helpful. I also looked over the read me, http://www.adobe.com/support/lightroom/read_me/Lightroom4_Readme.pdf
    Just a follow, can I keep and run both LR3 and LR4 on the same Mac? They will point to two different catalogs and photo folders. I want to run a couple of comparisons.
    Thanks again,
    If
    Upgrade Notes
      To update your Lightroom 1, Lightroom 2 or Lightroom 3 catalog simply launch Lightroom 4 and you will be able to select and upgrade your previous Lightroom catalog.
      The Lightroom 4 catalog upgrade process does not erase or remove your previous Lightroom catalogs. If you wish to try the Lightroom 4 30-day trial by upgrading your existing catalog, you may always return to earlier versions of Lightroom and continue using your previous catalog.
    o NOTE: Any changes or work completed in your catalog once it has been upgraded to work with Lightroom 4 will not be available in previous versions of Lightroom.
    o NOTE: The upgrade process will modify the image preview information of an upgraded catalog.(This information is stored in the .lrdata file that is located adjacent to a catalog file in the file system) Returning to a previous version of Lightroom will require that the previews be re-rendered. This can be a lengthy process for those with hundreds of thousands of images.
      Upgrading a Library from Photoshop Elements 6, Photoshop Elements 7, Photoshop Elements 8, Photoshop Elements 9, or Photoshop Elements 10 for Windows requires that Photoshop Elements be installed on the computer at the time of upgrade.
      Upgrading a Library from Photoshop Elements 9 or Photoshop Elements 10 for Mac requires that Photoshop Elements be installed on the computer at the time of upgrade.
      Lightroom 4 Beta catalogs may be upgraded using the same methods available for Lightroom 1, Lightroom 2 or Lightroom 3 catalogs.
      If you attempt to upgrade the same Lightroom catalog more than once, Lightroom will inform you of the location of the previously upgraded catalog.

  • Upgrading from LR3 to LR4?

    Is there a difference upgrading via download or disc when going from from LR3 to LR4? I have heard people mention that it is better to download the upgrade and enter your registration code from your retail packaging later ?

    As mentioned above the d/load will be the current release whereas the disk version will be 4.0 and need updating.
    There are many differences between Lr3 and 4 though including catalogs (Lr3 catalogs will have a copy made and upgraded) and processing (a new process version) which can alter image appearance of existing files. So don't update the process version on existing files before you have experimented - I do it only when reviewing a file if I feel I can work it better with the new version, not updating the whole lot at once!!

  • Question regarding upgrading from LR3 to LR4

    I currently have Lightroom 3 installed on my PC and want to upgrade to Lightroom 4.
    I have not had Lightroom 3 all that long and not too many files are there. I have two questions:
    1. Is it better to uninstall Lightroom 3 and then install a fresh copy of Lightroom 4 or could I just upgrade the current Lightroom 3 to Lightroom 4.
    I know I have heard in the past is is usually better to to a fresh install. As I have only had Lightoom 3 for a few months and few files I wondered if
    this was the way to go or would an upgrade be ok.
    2. I actually have the full version of Lightroom 4 (as opposed to an upgrade edition). Luckily for me, my father-in-law purchased it but turned out it was
    not what he wanted so he gave it to me. Can I use this full version to upgrade (if that is the solution to my first question)? I  know I can use it to do a fresh install.
    Also, if you can recommend any links to directions or video tutorials on migrating from LR3 to LR4 that would be great as I am very new to Lightroom.
    Thanks for the advice.

    Yes, it is very easy, as your existing LR3 installation will not interfere with the new LR4 installation.
    Just download LR4.3 from Adobe.
    Then start it, and go for File-Open catalog, and point to your exsiting LR3-catalog. The program will tell you that it needs to upgrade the catalog, which you confirm. This will create a new version-LR4 of your latest LR3-catalog.
    You might not like the name automatically chosen by this upgrade process, so close LR4 and use Windows Explorer to rename it into something meaningful like "LR4 Master Catalaog" or some such. Then double-click on it and work from there.
    Your previous images will show an exlamation mark in develop module for LR3's old process version 2010. Do not do anything on a batch basis for it, as this is not needed.
    Only for images, for which you do not like your previous LR3-develop results so much, click on the exclamation mark and upgrade it to LR4's process version 2012, and manually tweak from there.

  • Upgrading the speed and other stuff on mac air

    hello i was wondering how i can make my early 09 mac air faster since i cant upgrade rams also can i upgrade the internal fan video card anything? thank you

    The Air cannot be upgraded. The CPU and RAM are mounted directly on the logic board and it has no graphics card - it uses a graphics subsystem that is part of the CPU. A larger hard drive can be installed but that is the only hardware upgrade possible. If your Air has a standard hard drive upgrading to an SSD would offer some speed increase but I'm not sure that is a cost efficient solution. If your hard drive is more than 85-90% full, deleting some old/unused files could make things a bit better. Certainly returning to Snow Leopard would give your computer a big speed bump.

  • How do I upgrade from LR3 to LR4 on both my MAC and my PC?

    I have LR3 installed on my PC desktop and my MAcbook Pro. How can I download and upgrade both without buying it twice?

    As long as you do not run both LR versions at the same time the Adobe license allows you to intall it on 2 machines.
    You need 1 download only, as the program is identical on Windows and on Mac.
    It is sufficient to let one of the machiens do the actual upgrad work and copy the reults over to the other.
    From then on you have the usual challenge of keeping overlapping catalogs apart and knowing exactly, which portion is newer on which one, so you can export this portion as a catalog and import it into the other.
    But I assume you have figured this out in a good workflow for you?

  • Requirements for upgrading from LR3 to LR4

    The processor requirements for LR4 reads "Multicore Intel processor with 64 bit support." The processor description in the iMac I bought in early 2009 reads "2.8 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo." Will my processor handle LR4?
    Thank you

  • HT201250 Do you need to use a new external hard drive or an erased one to back up once you upgrade to OSX Lion?  My time capsule fails ever since I upgraded the new program to my old mac.

    I have not been able to back up in Time capsule since I upgraded my mac to MAC OSX Lion 10.7.5.
    Do I need a new external drive or an erased drive to get it to work with the lion software?

    Either new or an erased drive is fine, as long as it is formated Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    By the way: I find that Carbon Copy Cloner is a much simpler and efficient "clone"(backup) solution, especially if you're using an external drive.

  • I upgraded the OS system on my 2011 mac mini.  It now runs very slow.  Do I need to increase the ram.  I only have 2 GB now.

    My 2011 mac mini now runs very slow.  I have to wait on it to do basic things.  I only have 2 GB of ram.  It came with this amount and it fan fine for several years.  But I upgraded to the most recent Os system and now it runs slow.  What do I need?  More RAM?

    That's one way to justify a new Mac. :-)  Adding more RAM to the 2009 model is cheaper, though (but I'm guessing not as much fun).

  • Can i upgrade the flash storage of my 15inch mac book pro retina?

    I have a 2014 15' Mac Book Pro Retina, and its storage capacity is 251 GB Flash Storage, I in architecture school so i run parallel and some other software to get my work done. I was wondering if it was possible to install or have apple install a bigger storage unit to that i can get that extra space i need for my educational needs.

    Apple does not upgrade internal flash storage of MacBook Pros after purchase. Not many other companies that have them because it is a very specialized part, but the one I know doesn't seem to have one available yet for 2014 MacBook Pros:
    OWC Aura SSD Upgrades
    Of course, it's best to do so after your MacBook Pro warranty is over.

  • LR4 Upgrade shows LR3 Tone Settings panel - Help!

    I just upgraded from LR3 to LR4 and migrated my photo catalogs to the LR4 version.  As I was working with my photos, I noticed the Tone Settings panel initially loads the new LR4 version (with Whites and Blacks) but, once the program is completely loaded, it displays the LR3 Tone Settings Panel (with Hightlights and Blacks).   Has anyone else run into this and how can it be fixed???
    Thanks in advance!
    Craig

    When you upgrade your existing LR3 catalog to LR4, all images in the catalog that had previous develop adjustments (so likely most of them) will retain the 2010 Process Version, and therefore will exhibit the LR3 controls in the Basic Panel. These can be upgraded to PV2012 (and thus to the new Basic Panel controls) as indicated by Michael.
    New images imported into the LR4 catalog will by default get PV2012, thus you'll see the new controls from the outset. On such images you can, if needed, revert back to PV2010 by selecting the option in the Camera Calibratiion panel.
