Which version is best

Hey gang.
I first learned SpeedGrade through the CS6 Suite.  Since then, I have become a CC subscriber.  So now, my most recent version is SpeedGrade CC 2014. 
There are a few things about it that are different, and according to Lynda.com, much better now, than from CS6.  Great.  I want to learn them.
The tutorial says that a Mac user like me really needs to be running SpeedGrade 7.2
But my desktop CC app says that I'm running SpeedGrade CC 2014, with no updates available.
I search for 7.2, download it, go to install it, and the Patch Installer says that it is "not applicable for you". 
Which version is the newest:  CC 2014, or 7.2?  Maybe I'm overthinking this..
Please advise.
Thanks.

The naming system isn't always the easiest to figure out ... so you sort of need to check the build numbers. Those are found in the lower left corner of the Help/About dialog box. There, you'd see that 7.2 was a 7-something-or-other build number, and CC 2014.2 (the current release) shows a build in Sg of 8.2x51.
As you might gather, that is the later release. It's even more fun when you consider you need to have "matched sets" of PrPro & Sg to Direct Link properly ... and there you have to use the CC number plus the dot, as the build numbers are way different 8.? numbers. So ... CC2014 releases of the programs will match ... but to get the most reliable answer for questions here, it's handy to know which build number you are working in ... sigh.
As to usability, I definitely prefer the latest one, CC2014.2, as it's more stable in the masks & tracking things. I preferred working with the gold data numbers of the CC7.x builds, but get by with the blue. The newest features such as the scopes (marvelous!) and with the ' + ' icon on the bottom of the Looks panel, getting the RGB and HueSat curves tools, especially for me the HueSat curve ... very useful.

  • Dreamweaver and BC which version is best and how do I start a fresh clean slate?

    To all Adobe Gurus who are willing to help,
    I have had Creative Cloud for over a year and I have nothing to show for it. Mainly because I am overwhelmed with what to do. I went to school for design some time ago. I used Dreamweaver when it was still owned by Macromedia. I have had a hard time integrating back after so many years and this is all new to me. I have watched countless of tutorial videos both on here and lynda.com. I am lost. I can not find the answers I need?
    I need to get help on building an e-commerce site. I used Muse first for design, then I was told that DW works best.
    Which one? Seems I only can get something going on DWCS6 or DWCC,  but not DWCC14'
    However, when I did start a site with DW CC,  I was prompted to import an entire site with the GET STARTED video that you use as beginners for BC, but I accidentally hit cancel.
    Now, the site manager can see the name of the site. But I want to start a fresh new slate? Is it as easy as just deleting the local root folders? Do I need to uninstall and reinstall?
    Nothing has gone remotely except for a template that is sitting still on the admin side of Business Catalyst.
    I do like DW CC 14' newest features with the PSD comp and such. WOAH. But can I design a website and still integrate BC into it or how does it all work?
    Can I start all over? Delete what I started and start fresh?
    **Running MAC OS X latest version. I just want to know if I can start all over? Or which version of Dreamweaver should I use in order to get the best results?
    Thank you kindly for reading and lending a hand. I sincerely would appreciate any leads or answers to these questions.

    you really have only one choice, Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium but you can save by buying the System Builder edition.

  • Which version of flash is best for brush strokes?

    Hello,
    I am just wondering which version of flash has the best brush strokes. I am using CS6, and it constantly edits my strokes. I heard the older versions of flash have better brush strokes.
    I am an animator, and the brush tool is something I constantly use. I might have access to flash CS3 or CS4, and I heard CS3 is pretty close to the macromedia version.
    I heard toon boom animate is amazing, but when I tried it, there's no vector lines. Or maybe I am doing something wrong, but my strokes in toon boom animate are pixelated.
    I'm basically looking for a version of flash or different software, that has a brush tool that when I draw, it's what I wanted to draw, and doesn't edit my strokes. (By the way, I'm doing frame by frame animation)
    Thanks,
    Porter

    If you are planning an upgrade, Flash Professional CC 2014.1 comes with custom brushes, using which you can custom-make a brush that suits your drawing needs. You can read more about it at:

  • Which version of Outlook best?

    I am new to Blackberry.  I have a Curve 8330 (V-Wrlss).  Desktop Manager ver. 4.3.0.17
    My question is which version of Outlook works best for calendar synchronization?  2003, 2006 or 2007? Either way, I need to buy the software.  I will not be using the Outlook for my email as that is working great coming straight from server but only require it for my calendar.  I want to be able to sync calendar between my computer and my device.  Although I only will only need current calendar entries on my device, I would like to keep past history on my computer.
    Thank you!

    2003 or 2007 both work the same in regards to synching with a BlackBerry.
    Do you have a Gmail account? If so you can use the Google Sync software (http://www.google.com/mobile/blackberry/sync.html) to sync your BlackBerry calendar with your Google Calender.

  • Which version of sql server 2012 or 2014 is best for sharepoint 2013.. Any excellent comparision available please let me know..

    Which version of sql server 2012 or 2014 is best for sharepoint 2013.. Any excellent comparision available please let me know..i mean enterprise version BI version or standard version.. i just need a detailed comparison if available please thank you

    As of right this very second, SQL Server 2014 is not supported. SharePoint 2013 supports:
    One of the following:
    The 64-bit edition of Microsoft SQL Server 2012.
    The 64-bit edition of SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1
    Hardware and software requirements for SharePoint 2013
    Edit: I may be mistaken. It looks like the April 2014 CU adds support for SQL Server 2014. If this is the case generally going with the latest SQL Edition provides you with the latest SQL functionality. I'm not aware of any SharePoint features that would
    make use of functionality that is new to SQL Server 2014 but this could change with a future service pack.

  • [Best Practices] Which versioning strategy for the web applications?

    Hi all,
    An important question when starting to develop a web application is how to correctly make the releases follow-up?
    That involves to adopt a versioning strategy to definitely fix the version numbers which will be associated to each release.
    The versioning strategy i have imagined is based on four different numbers with format like v.X.X.X.X:
       - The first one represents the version number of the database structure.
       - The second number is linked to the different finalized releases of the data model layer.
       - The third number concerns the different releases of the interfaces
       - And finally, the last number is the Subversion (or other code control system) last save.This strategy involves:
       - The subversion number is systematically reported
       - Changes on the database will affect both the data model layer and the interfaces; also, among the three first numbers only the first one will have to change.
       - Changes made on the data model level automatically involve a new interfaces release and will also be represented on the second number and not on the third.
       - Finally, bring some changes only on the interfaces level will affect the third and the fourth numbers only.My questions are:
       1) Is my choice correct?
       2) Maybe it already exists some versioning convention?
       3) What is your strategy?
       4) What is the strategy for the Jdeveloper versions?Best regards,
    Tif

  • Which versions of Window can perform best with CiscoWorks?

    Hi,
    Please advice that currently we have 3200 logical devices configured on CiscoWorks and CiscoWorks is running very very slow. CiscoWorks installed on server with Windows Server 2003 32-bit and this version of windows it can only support RAM up to 4GB, which is already installed. In order to increase the RAM we have to upgrade the windows version as well.
    Please advise that which versions of Window can perform best with CiscoWorks.  E.g. Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), Standard Edition 64-bit: or Windows server 2008 etc. Please advise us the full windows release version as we will upgrade windows as per your suggestion.
    We are currently using the LMS 3.2, RME 4.3.0, CM 5.2.1

    Please refer to the Installation Guide for Windows server requirements. Here is the link:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/3.2/install/guide1/prereq.html#wp1099303
    Given that you want to stay with Windows Server, Server 2008 Standard Edition with service Pack 2 would be your best choice.
    NOTE that your should not (and cannot) use Server 2008 R2. That version in only supported with LMS 4.0.1. LMS 3.2 will not work with Server 2008 R2.
    With a 64-bit OS, you can increase your RAM - which is usually constraining system performance on systems with 32-bit OS. I recommend just putting in 16 MB. Why skimp on $100 RAM with $20,000 software?
    Your other alternative is to divide the server roles across several machines. That is a pretty complex task so I'd do the OS and RAM upgrade first and see how that helps you out.
    Re "Linux" LMS 3.2 (and 4.0/4.0.1) is only supported on Windows and Solaris operating systems. Plus if you're not a Uniux admin, the learning curve can be steep for your first dip in the water.

  • Which version of Oracle database is best for Windows 7 Home Premium?

    Any input as to which version of Oracle database is best for Windows Home premium? Is there a major difference between the express edition and 10g itself as far as the interface/learning purposes goes?

    EssbaseApprentice wrote:
    Any input as to which version of Oracle database is best for Windows Home premium?That's easy to answer, none . No oracle database version was released for Home(Premimum) series. There are several blog posts/articles which do mention that they have installed oracle releases over Home(Premium) platforms but whether it would work or not, it would be just a lottery and help regarding troubleshooting would not be there.
    Is there a major difference between the express edition and 10g itself as far as the interface/learning purposes goes?You mean 10g Express Edition and 10g Enterprise, Standard Editions? If yes, then there is indeed difference. The Express edition is more like a developer's playground with a good looking GUI even there to administer it. EE or SE are the production releases , meant for being used in a very busy, highly concurrent environments. There would be additional features like RAC and Dataguard that would come with EE and wont be there in the XE. So if you are learning to become a production DBA, you should right away use EE or SE IMO .

  • Which version of Photoshop Elements is best for for my old Mac G4 iBook?

    Which version of Photoshop Elements would work on my trusty old Apple Mac iBook G4 14-inch laptop?
    The newest Mac version of this application, Photoshop Elements 6, requires 64 MB of VRAM but my G4 only has 32 MB. (regarding other system requirements, my G4 has 768 MB of memory and a 1.2 Ghz processor, and runs Mac OS 10.4.11.)
    My plan is to go to Ebay and buy some older version of Photoshop Elements but I wanted some direction as to which older version would be best.
    Thanks.

    I have the same issue. My girlfriend bought Photoshop Elements 6, but her iBook G4, which is maxed out on conventional RAM, only has 32MB of video. She bought PE 6 as the Apple Store guy told her it would work on a iBook G4. He clearly did not realizing there were some  iBook G4's made with 32MB and some with 64MB of video RAM. But before we break the shrink wrap on the box, which would make it unreturnable, it would be nice to know if anyone has gotten PE 6 to run on a  iBook G4 with only 32MB of RAM. I'm more concerned with whether it works, than whether it is optimal. So, does anyone know if PE 6 will run on a iBook G4 with 32MB of video RAM?

  • Version control for PL/SQL. Which is the best approach?

    We are developing a quite complex system which involves several
    pl/sql packages, some triggers and stored procedure. We have a
    version control system (StarTeam) in which we can store the
    history of each change at our pl/sql code.
    The problem is: which is, in your opinion, the best way to "mark"
    a version in pl/sql? For example I putted a costant in a package
    interface named "Version=1" which I increment for each new
    release; but what about trigger and stored procedure? I need a
    system, as simple as possible, which allows a customer to query
    the database and tell us "which version" of the overall system
    (package+trigger+proc) he/she has.
    Thanks in advance
    Nicola Farina

    Most version control systems have special keywords that can be
    inserted into the text. In Visual SourceSafe the following can
    be added as part of your packages, triggers etc.
    -- $Logfile: /LMES+/LMES_db/packages/batch.body $
    -- $Revision: 4 $
    -- $Date: 01-09-03 12:33 $
    The benefit of this is that the version control system maintains
    the file name, version number, date etc. You do not have to
    remember to update them!
    Then you can create a procedure to retrieve the information from
    all_source/user_source.
