Using Lightroom and then ACR and Photoshop on a another Computer

Hi all,
I am wondering how I go when it comes to using photoshop lightroom on my home computer, with photoshop only for additional work yet at the same time being able to edit photos at school (they do not have lightroom) on ACR and Photoshop. Is their away where the changes I make at school will sync? Surely I must be able to do it and won't have to give up lightroom.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated or links to tutorials etc.
Thanks in advance

Convert propitiatory RAW files to DNG and select save metadata to file, or save the metatdata to file as xmp data. This data will then be recognised by Bridge/ PS on other machines and any processing and labelling will be recognised by Bridge/PS. However these applications are not non destructive, so any changes made to the image subsequently on your schools computer using PS rather than LR will require the production of a new file. A better way, IMO, would be to export images following processing them in LR as 16 bit TIFF files for use at school (and to encourage them to get Lightroom).
As you can use LR on two computers under your license there is nothing preventing you installing a copy on a school machine (as long as the school will let you) and using your license. This can only be for use by yourself, but you could show your teachers how useful it is and you would be able to take your catalog on an external disk with you and use it there.

I have used lightroom for ~2 years and have lightroom 5.5 installed on a PC. Yesterday evening I uploaded a new set of photos which I cataloged and rated as usual. After that when I switched to the develop module trouble began. First thing was when using the crop tool the picture would disappear and only reappear once I closed the tool. Then exposure and White balance changes would change the histogram but not the appearance of the photo. Finally clipping was also not appearing on the picture. I first reuploaded the photos. No effect. Then I reinstalled lightroom. No effect. Help please!

Bug Report for files first opened in Bridge and then worked in Photoshop

I encountered a problem with files first opened in Bridge and then worked in Photoshop as follows:
1. I opened a raw file in Bridge and then after corrections sent to Photoshop with no problem, however, after correcting and saving the file I then went back to the option of closing file and going to bridge. It closes file and stays in Photoshop. In order to get back to bridge I must either click on the bridge logo at bottom of screen or request to go to bridge.
2. I tested the same thing in CS-5 and it works like it is suppose to you click on close and go to bridge and it immediately takes you back to bridge.
3. Unless this is a new feature or suppose to work this way then it is a bug.

Hi Curt
Yes, I am talking about opening a file in bridge doing necessary corrections etc and then sending on to Photoshop. Once I do necessary corretions and save in Photoshop my next step would be to select close and open in bridge which is a choice. In previous Photoshops that I have used (CS4 and CS5) when you did this it would close the file and then immediately take you back to bridge. Now under CS6 if you select close and go to bridge it closes the file but remains in Photoshop. If bridge is not a choice when you select close and open in bridge why even have that as a choice? Why not just select close and then click on bridge logo or Control Alt O or select go to bridge?

I have a new iPad Air. Can I use plug in USB camera reader to have a load of movies etc on an external hard drive and then plug and play so to speak. I'm off on holiday and haven't got the capacity to have everything on that I'd like for the kids

Can I use a plug in USB camera reader to have a load of movies etc on an external hard drive and then plug and play so to speak? I'm off on holiday and haven't got the capacity on the iPad to have everything on that I'd like for the kids.
So basically I want a hard drive with X amount of films etc on. Can I then watch them on my iPad?
Hope this makes sense.

External HDD won't work.
You need something like this:

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you also set the Apple TV not to sleep.

I downloaded photoshop not too long ago and then 1 week later got a new computer, is there anyway of putting photoshop on the new computer??

sure, just install and activate. one license entitles you to two concurrent activations.
if you've already activated on two computers you will need to deactivate (help>deactivate) on, at least, one.

I was trying to get my personal computer contacts and calendar in outlook on my iphone and ipad. I was told to use icloud. I went to control panel and then icloud and selected my contacts and calendar. Now ALL MY DATA IS DELETED FROM OUTLOOK. Help!!

I was trying to get my personal computer contacts and calendar in outlook on my iphone and ipad. I was told to use icloud. I went to control panel and then icloud and selected my contacts and calendar. Now ALL MY DATA IS DELETED FROM OUTLOOK. Help!!

I was just on the line with Apple Tech support. First of all, I learned that when you link contacts to iCloud, it moves all your contacts to another/new address book...look for aother address books and you will see it. But I found the new address book dies weird things and changes the "Display Names" format. Evidently (per Apple support tech) there is no way to avoid this problem...so I just delinked the iCloud from my contacts. The contacts stayed in the iCloud address book...so I exported them to a CSV (comma separated value) file and saved it on my desktop and then imported that list into my original contacts folder. Now everything is back the way it was...being able to use my contact address book the way I did before. I was surprised that they never considered or realized this problem...but then the tech guy admitted that they really don't have A LOT of experience using Windows PC's.

Open the folder containing your Lightroom catalog. Locate a folder with the extension .lrdata and delete that folder. Do not delete anything else. Then restart Lightroom. It will start building a new previews folder.

What happened to the recently purchased icon on the left side of the playlist? I used to could purchase songs from one of my computers and then put them on the second authorized computer by selecting recently purchased. Is there another way?

Well in order to keep all the ratings, playcounts ect ect of songs in iTUnes, place the songs back into there original folders/places on the "Old harddrive" by cutting (Not copying) them from the new Harddrive. Now iTunes should report the songs has being there and have ! marks beside the imported folder from your external Harddrive.
Now you will delet the dead/broken links (Or missing music from the new drive)in iTUnes. Goto Ottos site for a script that will remove dead links and other things here
Just download, unzip, and run the program.
http://ottodestruct.com/iTunes/QuickScripts.zip
Now with everything in place and the dead links removed you will either consolidate the library or set it to copy to another Folder. If you consolidate it moves ALL your music listed in iTunes to the "iTunes Music" folder and can not be reversed. If you set it to copy, it will just copy music from its current folder to the iTunes music folder. You will have to pick the best option for you but consolidating will work best if your trying to free up space. To consolidate goto "Advanced" and select "Consolidate Library". To copy goto Edit>preferenses>Advanced tab>general sub tab and check "Copy FIles to iTunes music Folder when added to library". THis location is also where you will change the location of iTunes Music folder from your old harddrive to the new one by hitting the "Change" button above the reset button

Edit RAW in Lightroom 4 then Merge in Photoshop 6, or Merge in Photoshop 6 then Edit in Lightroom 4?

I am wanting to make a panorama. Should I first Edit my RAW files in Lightroom 4 then Merge in Photoshop 6, or Merge in Photoshop 6 and then Edit in Lightroom 4?
I can easily edit the RAW files first and then go back and redo them if I have to in Lightroom, but if I Merge it first in Photoshop I no longer have a RAW file to play with.
I am using .DNG files in Lightroom.

I would import the individual photos into LR, make adjustments to the individual photos, use LR’s Merge in Photoshop to create your panorama in PS, then you can make adjustments in PS and LR, but the panorama is no longer a raw file.
You could obviously use Bridge and ACR to do similar things to the individual raw photos as you can in LR, so the choice is the import/catalog structure of LR or just the files in folders non-structure of Bridge.

If I open a PDF doc in a new tab and then try and close the tab with ctrl-w it will try and close all tabs unless I switch to another tab and back again.

Running Firefox beta and Adobe Acrobat 10. If I open a PDF document in a new tab, say http://support.avaya.com/css/P8/documents/100146419, and then try and close the tab using ctrl-w, I get the message warning me about closing all tabs. If I switch to another tab and then back to the PDF document and then hit ctrl-w, it will just close that one tab and not all tabs.
Cheers.

I've just been playing around and I set dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to true and now it closes the PDF document but not the tab. I have to do ctrl-w again to close the tab. However, leaving that set to true ruins the scroll mouse functionality as Acroread seems to want it all to itself.

Can i save a query in one package and then can i move it into another .....

can i (in bw 3.5)save a query in one package and then, can i move it into another package? if yes what is the procedure? if no, why? if yes , after moving can i see that query in one package or both? plzzzzzzzz its urgent....

Hi Neeraja,
Yes, you can save a query in one package and then move it into another package and transport the query with new package.
There are two ways...
1. You can change the package assignment from one to another with the same request and transport the objects with request assigned to the new package.
2. You can create a new request and assign the new request to new package and transport the new request with new package assignment.
For first one, follow below process...
Changing the assignment:
       1.      Choose Package in the toolbar of screen area Collected Objects in RSA1 --> Transport Connection.
The Select Objects for Changing package dialog box appears.
       2.      Select the objects whose package assignment you want to change.
This procedure is especially useful for changing all collected objects, or a large number of them. For this reason, all indicators are set by default. Remove the indicators for individual objects where necessary.
Note: You can only use Details to display the details for an individual object when this is the only object that is selected.
       3.      Choose Copy. The Change Object Directory Entry dialog box appears.
       4.      Enter the new package.
For second one, you need to add the query in the transport organiser and assign new request and transport package and then go for transport. But this will create two requests on the same query. So, don't go for this. First step is preferable.
Hope this helps u...
Regards,
KK.

Itpod touch screen turns blue and then white and wont turn on

all of a sudden my screen went white and then blue and unable to turn on my ipod touch.Tried again and it started going black and red vertically . then the screen stays blue. have tried to restore 3 times know. nothing has worked?what wlse should i do.

start up from the System DVD and use the disk utility app from the utilities menu at top of screen before the system installation. Repair the disk and permissions (will only repair permissions for Apple software, not third party, but it'll address the system components which may need it)
If that doesn't fix it, then boot up from the DVD again and this time reinstall the System software (be sure to check the options to keep user so you don't overwrite all your personal data).
Another option is to restore your entire system from a time machine backup that was made when your computer was working fine (ie: the day before this started). Problem eradicated.
This assumes you have an external hard drive set as backup disc and are using time machine. If you aren't, you should be.
Also, for the moment, remove all items from the auto- startup-at-login list in accounts prefs.
Also remove all hardware peripheral devices except the power supply and assess whether the issue still exists when nothing extra is plugged in. Temporarily turn off the airport card and bluetooth too for the same test. If no change when all these things are disconnected or turned off, then you will have narrowed down the issue considerably and reinstalling the system software will probably do the trick

To reinstall Acrobat 8 Upgrade I need to present previous versions e.g. 3 and then 4 and then 5 Upgrade every time. Is there no simpler way to validate my ownership?

To reinstall Acrobat 8 Upgrade I need to present previous versions e.g. 3 and then 4 and then 5 Upgrade every time. Is there no simpler way to validate my ownership?
I had two laptops stolen and the reinstall is a real pain. This also applies to reformats and changeovers to Windows 7, etcetera.

Windows 7? Then don't waste your life minutes fumbling with an Acrobat 8 - Windows 7 combination.
If you are to be using Win 7 you'll need the current release of Acrobat (XI). "X" will function but it is no longer marketed by Adobe.
Be well...
