Will Elements or Light Room work for an old copy of CS?

I am running windows 8 and tried to install an old copy of photoshop cs. I got an error message that I needed to already have installed a copy of photoshop 5.0 or later. I no longer have my elements software so I cant re install it. Can I just get a new elements or light room and then be able to install cs?

I'm trying to determine which would be the best way for me to proceed. I'm looking for a way to manage my photos (over 22,000) with keywords and file names.
Both Elements and PSE work best if you organize and manage your collection by keywords, and not by file names. Although you can certainly go down that path if you really want to, in which case if you must use file names, Lightroom offers slightly better tools, and fewer bugs.
I am an Elements 7 user but I'm having some problems using the keywords in CS5.
Not enough information for me to understand what problems you are having, so I can't advise on this issue.
Also if I delete pictures in CS5,  I have to make a lot of adjustments in Elements .
I fail to see an issue here. In fact, I don't really understand completely, what do you mean "delete pictures in CS5"? CS5 is an editor, not a file manager.
I have read the information regarding Lightroom and wonder if this is the way to go for me. It appears to be more compatible with Photoshop.
Neither Lightroom nor Elements has an advantage in its compatibility with Photoshop. Both allow you to use CS5 as an extra editor.
Both PSE and Lightroom let you do what you have described, if used properly. If you could provide more details about your needs, maybe one program or the other will become the better choice.

    Will Elements 10 Item #65136385 work with Windows Vista? I found this on Amazon.com but it lists operatingsystems only for Windows 7 and I have Vista 64 bit. Can I use this as an upgrade from Elements 7?

    Here is the version that does not list Vista as one of it's compatible operating systems

    Am I understanding it right....all versions on PSE 10 should work on Vista (as an upgrade frome PSE 7)?
    Thanks.

  • Will AIR ac power cord work for Mac Book Pro?

    will AIR ac power cord work for Mac Book Pro? I've lost my MBP cord.

    No. It does not provide sufficient power for a MBP unless you have a 13" model that uses a 60 watt adaptor.

  • Will the ipod docking station work for the iphone5?

    will the ipod docking station work for the iphone5?

    Which iPod is it?
    If it's the newest generation iPod dock, then it probably won't as the new iPod is much thinner than the iPhone 5. It also depends on the shape of the dock (if it has a thin space for the iPod device). Do you think you could add a picture. I will give a more direct suggestion of you can.

  • Prepare a greyscale image for an old copy machine

    How can I prepare a greyscale image, so that it will look as good as possible on an old copy machine? I have a job that they want to print on a cheaper to use, copy machine, Is it called xerography?
    I'm seeing 4 different shades of grey on the machine's output.

  • I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load. WiFi works for a laptop using windows

    I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load.  WiFi works ok on a laptop using Windows.  I have reset the WiFi settings but this makes no difference.

    Thanks, Linc, but  that almost helped:
    Because the retina 15 only has a wifi connection (no ethernet), that's the connection I'm stuck with for the notebook. But on the 27iMac, I did have both ethernet and wifi enabled. When I turned the wifi off on the 27, therer was a brief moment when both computers were showing their counterparts when I tried to make a network connection. BUT, after a few seconds of 'searching', the computer I was trying to connect to disappeared from the Network list.
    So I tried the opposite; the retina can only connect thru wifi, so that's a given. I swithched my ethernet off and then enabed the wifi on the 27 and ....same thing: When I try a network connection, there are a few seconds of 'searching', then the ony option I'm left with is share screen, which doesn't work either.
    I've read the 'dropped' network is a problem with the retina, but the odd thing is that I never lose my internet connection—that continues to work fine, as does Air Drop—but I can't seem to connect, network-wise.
    Any ideas about the dropped network?

  • Will Safari 5.1.10 work for all versions of 10.6 or just version 10.6.8? If it requires 10.6.8 then what is the latest version of Sarari that will work with 10.6.6?

    Will Safari 5.1.10 work with all versions 10.6 or does it require 10.6.8? If it does require 10.6.8 then what is the latest version of Safari that will work with 10.6.6?
    Thanks
    Eric

    This Mac currently has Safari 5.0.4. Software Update shows a newer version of iTunes and of course the combo updater to 10.6.8 but nothing else. I imagine the 10.6.8 updater contains a later version of Safari but I don't now which version it is and whether it is backward compatible with older versions of 10.6. There are a number of newer versions of Safari: 5.0.5. 5.0.6, 5.1.1, 5.1.2, . . . 5.1.10 to name a few but would any of them work with 10.6.6? In a similar thread a guy asked a similar question to mine: he had 10.6.6 and wanted to upgrade to a newer version of Safari. He tried installing various versions but was rejected each time. He finally asked if there was any newer version of Safari that would install on 101.6.6 - but he never got an answer.
    Software Update displayed a newer iTunes but no mention of Safari. I wonder if this indicates that the 5.0.4 Safari that I have is the latest version there is for 10.6.6. Anybodyknow for sure?
    TIA

  • Basis work for SAP system copy using DB2 cloning tool

    My company is using the DB2 cloning tool, formerly from MainStar. Our DBAs have used this tool to create a clone of a technical sandbox (ST1) to another DB2 instance (SZ1).
    I am reading through the System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 2004s SR2 ABAP+Java guide and trying to follow the steps.
    As information, our application servers are currently running on zLinux and I am trying to do a system copy of an HA ABAP+Java SID.
    Since we have used the cloning tool, which I would equate to a homogeneous system copy using database specific tools, the guide looks like it says I can skip the Export Preparation and Table Splitting Preparation steps. The only other step for the source system is the Database and Central Instance Export.
    When I execute this step, it creates a dump of the database. This seems useless as we already have a cloned copy of the database.
    Does anyone have the list of Basis tasks for a system copy when the DB2 cloning tool is used?
    Brian

    Nevermind. If someone sets:
    rdisp/j2ee_start = 0
    in an ABAP+Java system, sapinst behaves strangely during the system export and does not give the option to only dump the filesystem. Bug?

  • Im trying to load my CS2 PS but its looking for my old copy of PS

    Im trying to load my old PS CS2 and its looking for my old disk of 5.5 or higher.. I lost the disk but have the SN# how do i load this. I know in the past Adobe helped me do this..??

    When you install the upgrade, the installer will check for a previous qualifying version already installed on your computer. If it cannot detect one, it will ask you to input the serial number for the older software version to verify if it is a valid upgrade.
    Once you input the serial number, the installer will use that as a qualifying criteria and continue installation.

  • Does light room work better than Photoshop for raw conversion

    What is the difference between photoshop and lightroom conversion from raw camera files.  It seems that lightroom is putting my images in more of a middle of the road type of post production, where photoshop tends to be all over the place.  As a professional photographer it is good to have a style, but do you think that this middle of the road approach will end up getting us all to conform to a single style rather than being individuals?  If I change settings and take control then more images fall out of the bell curve and don't look as nice.  http://www.blue2green.com here are some sample images.  I am curious if anyone else is experiencing the same concerns

    What Geoff said is accurate. I used to use Adobe Bridge/Photoshop ACR for camera RAW processing. But since LR has the same engine I use LR much more these days. And most times I don't even go into PhotoShop with my images and just print from LR -- LR is very powerful, especially since the release of LR4 and I find that I rarely need to use an outside editor like PhotoShop or NIK and OnOne plugins to do any post processing.

  • Lights not working, for anything!

    I'm trying to make a cool video with some models from a video game, one of them is a giant robot, and I imported that into Element 3D with it's diffuse texture so I can composite it inside of after effects.
    The only problem is that lights don't work on ANYTHING, except the ambient lights which makes everything brighter. The model turns black when the light is enabled (point, spot, and parallel)
    This is very weird, the render mode is set to classic 3D and draft mode is off.
    Is there something I need to keep in mind when adding lights that I missed from browsing Google for an answer?
    Thx

    Yeah, I see a couple of things you might have missed:
    1) Did you set your 3D layers' properties to "Accepts Lights"?
    2) Relying on hit-and miss advice from high school kids when going to Google instead of learning you chops straight from the pros:
    Getting started with After Effects (CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6, & CC) | After Effects region of interest
    It'll make a big difference.

  • Will elements 13 raw converter work with Canon 7D MK2 raw files

    My friend is about to purchase the new Canon 7D Mk2 DSLR camera. He currently only takes images in jpg format and edits images with the Canon software provided with his current Canon camera. I have encouraged him to purchase Elements 13 and to start taking images in raw and using the raw converter. Will the raw converter in elements 13 be compatible with the raw files of the new Canon 7D MK2, please?
    The Canon 7D MK2 is a new model and I realise that Adobe may not yet have prepared a raw converter to work with images from this camera. However it may be that the raw converter for the new camera is the same as that used in  camera it replaces. Does anyone know please?
    Regards Dave S.

    The 7d mkii is not yet supported but should be in the next camera raw update. It’s not yet featured on the ACR8.7 list of new cameras, but this is only release candidate software. The 7d mkii could easily feature in the final version. Keep an eye on Adobe Labs for further updates.

    Thanks.

    If you have one of the new dual core G5s that will work. If you don't then that RAM will not work. It is DDR2 and the older PowerMac G5s use DDR.
