Using LR 2.7-good idea to upgrade to current LR? Please help

Hello,
I am not sure what I should do and would like some advice. I am using one of the versions of LR.  Its quite slow and get lots of not responding, in which case I have to wait for it to respond. Other than that, its fine to work with, but lately it seems like people tell me I need to upgrade as you will benefit from it, but then when I ask them what the beneficial  are, they don't tell me. Anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks!!!

Photoflower,
I agree with what's been said here, if LR2.7 is not performing on your machine, LR3.3 is mostlikely going to be somewhat slower. This does not mean there's nothing that can be done about it, but in the plain comparison (environment being equal) LR3 tends to consume more resources than LR2. This is legitimate in parts, as there are powerful new functions included.
I am running LR3.3 on a 6 year old single core 3.2GHz Xeon machine, with WinXP and 4GB of memory (of which only 3 is used). It doesn't run super fast, but I can work with it (I'm not a pro).
As far as new functionality in LR3 is concerned, you might want to have a look at these pages:

I think these are the most noticed ones:
the raw processing    engine has been given a complete overhaul.  Even  the demosaic algorithms    have been substantially improved to give a  cleaner file which will    respond better to subsequent noise reduction  and sharpening
Much better noise reduction and sharpening
New Import dialog (some love it, some hate it)
Point Curves
Lens Correction
Tethered Shooting
Publish Services
Video Management
New watermarking allows a simple text or graphic watermark to be     applied
I personally think it is well worth to update to LR3, as the image quality will generally improve.

    Be aware, you go that route & every time you try to update or restore, it will error out, leaving your phone unusable. Not to mention, you void all warranty/support.
    Sell it & use the proceeds towards an officially unlocked iPhone bought directly from Apple.
    Good luck.

  • I have been using GRAB to capture screen displays.  It has just stopped working since the last OSX Upgrade.  Can anyone, please help restore functionality?

    Thanks for that.  I did as suggested but when I tried again, it still did not work.  Another  com.apple.Grab.plist appeared in the Library.
    I now have the following files in Library
    file://localhost/Users/peterpatel/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Grab.LSSharedFil eList.plist
    file://localhost/Users/peterpatel/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Grab.LSSharedFil eList.plist.lockfile

    What do you suggest I do now?

    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
    If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later

             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

  • HT1386 my iphone does not sync with itunes on my second authorized computer, please help. i changed the first authorized computer in May 2012 and have been using the second authorized computer since then but it cannot sync - please help!!

    my iphone does not sync with itunes on my second authorized computer, please help. i changed the first authorized computer in May 2012 and have been using the second authorized computer since then but it cannot sync - please help!!

    "I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
    Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
    You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
    Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

    Hi,
    If you trying connect two Universal apps through Bluetooth, can you check if the
    Windows 8.1 Bluetooth RFComm sample runs fine on both the devices? I successfully tested the Windows 8.1 Bluetooth RFComm sample on Laptop (Windows 8.1) and Windows Phone 8.1 (paired).
    Make sure the service which you are trying to advertise/listen is supported by both the devices.

    You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

    getting red frames when export from cc 2014.2 codec used panasonic mxf format long GOP 50p. If any solution please help on that

    i solve my red frame problem. originally my project was done in premiere pro cc 2014.2 & i render in Encoder cc 2014. in newer version i get lots of red frames. i complain a lot to adobe customer support . they said they know the issues but they couldn't solve. I was so tired from adobe customer support. one of the worse customer services i had. My friend got the mac pro & e got premiere pro cc 7.2 version. i convert all my footage mxf to mp4 in encoder cc 7.2 version and i succeed. i don't get any red frames.
    So i think the problem is in adobe encoder cc 2014.2 version. newer version.

  • Iweb doesn't see my old domains under 10.9 after the upgrade from 10.7 Please help

    Hi everybody,
    iweb doesn't see my old domains under 10.9 after the upgrade from 10.7 Please help
    It gives me an option to choose a domain but when I go to "sites" it doesn't recognize none of them.
    Thanks :-)

    In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
