What would be the ideal photoshop program?
Hello adobe community. I'm new to photoshop, I recently purchased a website for my pitbull puppies and american bully http://www.americanbullypitbullpuppies.com and I plan on adding nice pictures and graphics of my dogs to my website. What photoshop program would be ideal for those type of projects? Thanks in advance photoshop community.
Hi Pitbull puppies,
Either Photoshop or Photoshop Elements should be good for you. I would take a look at this page and browse around: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopfamily.html

So what would be the ideal tried and tested upgrade method?
I purchased Snow Leopard last week but have been hanging off upgrading as there have been mixed feedback about the upgrade. I guess curiosity is getting the better of me now so would like to know what is the most practical way of doing the upgrade? I'm also curious about the installation just to make sure that the installation disc is indeed working before I run out of time to return it if faulty as i've read a few posts where users have had this trouble.
Just now I have 10.5.8 installed and I use Logic Pro 8.0.2 and everything seems ticktyboo! but i'll be looking to upgrade Logic from version 8 to 9 in a few weeks so would like to get the OS updated prior to this (I'm holding off with installing Logic 9 until 9.0.1 is released due to various bug reports).
I have the following up to date backups of my system:
Time Machine backup on external drive
Bootable clone of Mac HD on external drive (Created with SuperDuper!)
The confusing part for me is that i've been looking at too many posts where the methods given have ranged from upgrade, erase & install, create a sandbox and a few others that I'm not even sure about. Would I be best doing the upgrade method then using migration assistant to migrate my applications over?
Like I said, it's not a necessity for me to upgrade just now but I just want to have a nose...
Thanks in advance
BryanSo I took the plunge and went for the upgrade...
and all is well
Being honest this was really quite simple to do and although I know there has been a lot of mixed feedback regarding the upgrade, I think this went effortlessly smooth and i've never done it before! I do have a bit of knowledge using computers but I can imagine that some folks who don't may have issues during the process.
In this case I would recommend everyone takes the time to do a little research here first before upgrading as I would say that there are probably a couple of things that should be done in preparation prior to the upgrade that isn't mentioned within the upgrade box set that the average user would not look into.
So here's a rundown of what I did for future reference (mostly advice already given in this post:
1. Check all your software/apps are up to date and more importantly, check they are compatible with Snow Leopard
2. Create a Time Machine backup of your hard drive prior to upgrading
3. Create a bootable clone of your internal hard drive on a GUID partitioned drive prior to upgrading (I used Disc Utility for partitioning and SuperDuper for cloning) and check that it works by holding down "option" on startup of your mac and booting from the clone drive available
4. Reboot your system on your internal hard drive
5. Repair Disk Permission on your internal hard drive using Disk Utility
6. Verify internal hard drive using Disk Utility
7. Detach all non peripheral devices from your mac (external hard drives, audio interfaces, ipods, usb flash drives, cameras etc) prior to upgrading, leaving only your keyboard and mouse connected
8. Insert the Snow Leopard installation disc
9. Double click on "Install Mac OS X"
10. Read through the "Read Me" document before you carry on
11. Click on the "Customise" tab if you would like to add additional content (Quicktime 7 is located here and was already ticked when I checked)
12. Proceed with the install
That was pretty much it! The installation took me 35 minutes, where the disc did it's stuff for about 20 minutes, then the mac shutdown and rebooted and carried on with the installation. Once It was complete a video clip came up (which I have no idea what it was for!) and I then clicked on finish (or something similar!) and then ejected the disc.
My desktop was exactly the same as it was in Leopard and I tried opening all my apps and they worked fine. I haven't given Logic a good look over yet but I loaded a project and everything was running great.
I've since done a new Time Machine backup and that worked as expected but will leave the clone drive on 10.5.8 for now incase of emergency...
So what the difference so far?
I think everyone will assume this when they do the upgrade but everything does seem to be running that little bit faster than it was in Leopard. One thing that definitely is quicker is going through the System Preferences, this seems really speedy compared to what it was like before. Expose seems quicker to me too and i've read that some people don't like the new layout but it seems practical to me! I've not really tried out the Expose from dock thing but to be honest I can't see me ever using it!
The only major thing that looks different to me (aside from the GUI tweaks) is that the screen now looks slightly darker. Not just the GUI but even within apps or browsing online. This may be a power saver thing, who knows? It may just be me...
So there you have it, one success story (so far) to put your mind at ease when you finally come to do the dirty work! Now id Snow Leopard could only make me produce some decent finished music projects....... -
I have tried to use Pages on my other computer, but not having time to deal with the differences between Pages and Word, I went back to using Word. I'm not sure what word processing program to load on to this new computer. Any ideas?

With SO MUCH photo editing software available, what would be the best for me if I am a digital camera newby? I do not need Photoshop CC! I do not want to spend $700 bucks! My camera is a Nikon D90. Please help.
Where did you come up with the $700 figure?
Photography plan - $9.99/month or $119/year - Creative Cloud Photography plan : Adobe Creative Cloud
Single App - $19.99/month
Complete plan - $49.99/month or $599/yr - Creative Cloud free trial & plans : Adobe Creative Cloud
Ah - If you wish to cancel early yeah $74.99 which would total for the year at $899.88. But that final total would be if you canceled in the 12th month but if you plan on keeping it that long might as well go for the annual contract. Then cancel at the end of the term limit if you need to.
If you are not sure what to get, Either Elements as was suggested by Peru Bob or the photography plan. -
How can I upgrade from Photoshop Elements 12 to Photoshop Elements 13 AND Photoshop Premiere Elements 13? What would be the price?
Hi Raymond,
I would advise you to buy the bundle package of Premiere and Photoshop Elements 13 which cost 149 $ but due to online promotions the price right now is 119 $.
Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums. -
I am a dinosaur still using Photoshop 6. Am forced to upgrade - what would be the current replacement.
But you are not forced to upgrade unless you choose to upgrade your computer or operating system. At that point it would probably stop working, otherwise it should go on forever. And a jolly good piece of software it was (and is).

Hi. Good morning, I intend to purchase the Photography Photoshop program. The Rs 499/month one. I currently use an Mac Air. But intend to buy a iMac in about 2 months time. Will I be able to transfer this program or continue using this on my new machine?
My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
or http://www.apple.com/contact/
We are just end users here helping other end users.
Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
Good luck! -
I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?
You would have to delete the existing iCloud account and create a wholly new one - you cannot change the @icloud.com email address of the one you already have. To make a new one, you will also need an new AppleID as any AppleID can only have one iCloud account associated with it.
Deleting the account will not delete anything off your device (if prompted for things like contacts, choose to keep them). You will have to sync everything anew with the new account as you cannot move your sync'd content, your old backups or anything else from one iCloud account to another. You will have to set up sync again and let it sync to the new account, and then make new backups to the new account as well. -
Apple loop index folder is empty from the hard drive, which may explain why i can not find loop in my logic pro browser, just sort of grey in disaabled format. what would be the next appropriate steps to take??? I do have an external back up disk.
The IDE interface that the iBook and your desktop use are the same, just a different plug size. So with the rite adapter you could put the iBooks drive in your desktop, you could even boot off it too.
If you want to install the laptops HD in your desktop this will do it for you. Or you can use the iBooks HD as an external hard drive with this -
Looking to upgrade my OS from 10.5.8 to something newer, what would be the best option?
I would like to upgrade my operating system, but not sure what would be the best option. I have had the computer for several years and haven't had a problem, I just think it's time to upgrade. Any suggestions?
Which model iMac do you have?
The best option would be the one (OS) that meets your needs of what you want to do AND if you meet ALL the OS system requirements. Suggest that you read the system requirements of the OS you are interested in to make sure you meet all the requirements both hardware & software. -
I have a 15' Macbook Pro, mid 2010 running Mavericks. I want to upgrade the hardware by increasing the RAM to 8GB and replacing the HD for a SDD one. What would be the best way to install mavericks on the new HD? I have the original OS X CD.
From what I read, I have 2 choices: 1. to install OSX and then upgrade to Mavericks, but I'm not sure if this would be possible (to upgrade directly from OSX to Mavericks); and 2. to use a software called Super Duper.
I wouldn't like to have to use a third party software to do this, so the question is: is there a better way to install directly the Mavericks not having to use a third party software?Install the new drive in the computer.
Install the old drive in an external USB or Firewire enclosure.
Boot the computer from the Recovery HD on the external drive.
Use Disk Utility to partition and format the new internal drive.
Clone your external drive to the internal drive.
How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive. Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure. You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
Step Three: Boot from the Recovery HD on the external drive. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the Recovery HD then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the
mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of
the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive
is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the
Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from
the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
(Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and
wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the
drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main
window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the
Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to
return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several
hours depending upon the drive size.
Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
1. Using Disk Utility still opened.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume. Click on the Restart button. You should boot from the new drive. Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer. -
Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links created with Acrobat Standard to additional PDF docs? If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's on an I Pad?
driddy61,
As of June 2014, none of the Adobe Reader mobile products support the hyperlink action for opening a separate PDF document.
Adobe Reader for iOS
Adobe Reader for Android
Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8
In addition, the Reader mobile products do not open multiple windows/documents simultaneously, which would make the navigation between PDF documents nearly impossible. (Once a hyperlink takes you to a different PDF document, you have no way to go back to the original PDF document.)
The only Adobe Reader product that fulfills your department's requirements is Adobe Reader XI (mostly for Windows/Mac desktop/laptop computers). Acrobat Pro and Standard are paid products.
Because you are in search of a less expensive device for your department, you could get a Windows tablet instead of a Windows desktop/laptop computer. Microsoft Surface Pro (that you've mentioned in your previous reply) is just one example. You can also find other less expensive Windows tablets.
Tablets
However, please keep in mind that there are two different types of Windows tablets running two different operating systems.
(a) A Windows tablet with an Intel-based processor running Windows 8.1 Pro
Example: Surface Pro 3
You can install and run traditional desktop apps (e.g. Adobe Reader XI) and new Windows Store apps ("Modern" or "Metro-style" apps).
(b) A Windows tablet with an ARM-based processor running Windows RT 8.1
Example: Surface 2
You can only install and run Windows Store apps (e.g. Adobe Reader Touch) but not traditional desktop apps like Adobe Reader XI.
In general, type (b) tablets are more affordable than type (a) tablets. However, if you want to run Adobe Reader XI, you do need to check the technical specification of each tablet and make sure the following conditions are met.
Processor: Intel
Operating system: Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 8/8.1 Pro, not RT
Hope this helps you choose the right device for your department. Please let us know if you have any questions about system requirements or supported features in the Adobe Reader products. -
I HAVE A MAC POWERBOOK G4 AND WOULD LIKE TO TRANSFER MY FILES, PHOTOS AND VIDS TO MY NEW MAC PRO, WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST METHOD?? THANKS ROB
I think the easiest way is to use a firewire cable (you will need on like this: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=Firewire+400+to+800+cable&oe=utf-8&rls= org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=120962573 04625337030&sa=X&ei=PytQT9r4NtOBsgL9s_C6Dg&ved=0CHYQ8gIwAA).
Power up the Power Mac G4 and hold the "T" key while it is booting (this puts the G4 notebook in Firewire Target Disk mode). Connect the G4 notebook to the newer MacBook Pro and use the Migration assistant (/Applications/Utilities) OR browse through the files and copy what you want. -

You need to ask the printing service provider. Dealing with color totally depends on the printing process involved and of course the machines used.
